Abstract: In an example implementation, a system including a computer including a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions such that the processor is programmed to convert G-code to G-node data, generate a plurality of windows based on G-node segments, calculate an average velocity based on the plurality of windows, where the velocity corresponds to a 3D printer head. The processor is also programmed to determine a temperature corresponding to the average velocity, and insert a G-code heat command into a G-code command file based on the determined temperature. The processor can be further programmed to insert a pre-heat G-code command into the G-code command file.

Abstract: A patient monitor can noninvasively measure a physiological parameter using sensor data from a nose sensor configured to be secured to a nose of the patient. The nose sensor can include an emitter and a detector. The detector is configured to generate a signal when detecting light attenuated by the nose tissue of the patient. An output measurement of the physiological parameter can be determined based on the signals generated by the detector. The nose sensor can include a diffuser configured to disseminate light exiting from the emitter into or around a portion of the patient's body. The nose sensor can also include a lens configured to focus light into the detector.

Abstract: A heated nozzle assembly for a three-dimensional printer includes a shank defining a feed end and a first internal flow passage, where the feed end is fluidly coupled to the first internal flow passage. The heated nozzle assembly also includes a shank barrel coupled to the shank that includes a second internal flow passage and a body portion. The second internal flow passage of the shank barrel is fluidly coupled to the first internal flow passage of the shank and the body portion of the shank barrel defines a plurality of heater segments that are disposed along the body portion of the shank barrel that are thermally isolated from one another. The heated nozzle assembly includes a plurality of heating elements that each correspond to one of the plurality of heater segments disposed along the length of the body portion of the shank barrel.

Abstract: A system for determining estimated conditions of a finished printed part generated by a three-dimensional printer includes one or more processors for receiving one or more numerical control code files and machine parameters. The system includes a memory coupled to the one or more processors that stores data comprising a database and program code that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to parse the one or more numerical control code files into parsed numerical control code files. The one or more processors determine an updated machine state of the three-dimensional printer based on the parsed numerical control code files and the machine parameters and combine the updated machine state with the parsed numerical control code files to create one or more nodes. The system receives one or more operator inputs and creates one or more print analyses.

Abstract: A nozzle for producing material extrusion in a three-dimensional printer includes a shank including an internal flow passage, where the shank is constructed of a first material having a first thermal conductivity. The nozzle also includes a shank barrel mechanically coupled to the shank. The shank barrel is constructed of a second material having a second thermal conductivity. The first thermal conductivity of the first material is different from the second thermal conductivity of the second material to create a first heat break between the shank and the shank barrel, where the first heat break reduces heat transfer between the shank and the shank barrel.
