  • Publication number: 20240091495
    Abstract: A catheter reinforcement layer (100) and a catheter (10). The catheter reinforcement layer (100) includes a spring component (110) and at least one axial component (120). The at least one axial component (120) extends along the spring component (110) from a proximal end to a distal end, and has at least one intersection with the spring component (110). According to the catheter reinforcing layer (100), by introducing one or more axial components (120) into a reinforcing layer of an existing spring component (110), the axial modulus of the catheter (10) is increased, thereby avoiding axial deformation or even breakage of the tubular body of the catheter (10) due to axial force.

  • Patent number: 11931799
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) metal object manufacturing apparatus is equipped with a movable directed energy source to melt hardened metal drops and form an oxidation layer. A metal support structure can be formed over the oxidation layer, an object feature can be formed over the oxidation layer, or both a metal support structure and an object feature can be formed over oxidation layers located at opposite sides of a metal support structure. The oxidation layers weakly attach the metal support structure to the object feature supported by the metal support structure so the support structure can be easily removed after manufacture of the object is complete.

  • Publication number: 20240083165
    Abstract: A method of operating a printer identifies image areas in ink image content data that are likely to affected by airflow disturbances to produce ink blur within an ink image. Inkjets farthest from these areas are selected to eject ink drops into these areas to form portions of an ink image. The image areas identified as being likely to produce ink blur are the leading edge, trailing edge, and side edge of the ink image content data. The ink drops ejected by these selected inkjets and their satellites are less likely to be affected adversely by the airflow disturbances.

  • Patent number: 11912045
    Abstract: A method of operating a printer evaluates the effect of printing a print job with two different orientations of the image content data for the print job. The orientation that produces the least increase in the cross-process direction displacement error for the inkjets in the printer is selected for printing the print job. By attenuating the increase in cross-process direction displacement error, the interval between printhead maintenance operations is increased.
