Abstract: A computing device comprising a controller is disclosed herein. The controller is to access print data of a virtual build volume including a 3D object to be generated by a 3D printer; modify the print data to include a 3D structure at a location within the build volume to encapsulate an amount of build material; receive powder degradation data corresponding to the powder degradation of the encapsulated amount of build material; and calibrate an additive manufacturing parameter based on the powder degradation data.

Abstract: Methods of using grids in connection with suitable microscopy techniques, such as for determining the structure of target compounds including proteins, are disclosed. Said grid comprising a coating modified with one or more capture agents and a deactivating agent.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a process for configuring or commissioning a solar power system includes receiving, at a controller, hardware identifiers of a plurality of power electronics modules to be configured. Each of the plurality of power electronics modules of at least a portion of the plurality of power electronics modules is associated with a corresponding photovoltaic panel. A hub is configured to wirelessly communicate with the plurality of power electronics modules. The controller is physically connected to the hub and communicates with the hub via wiring that also carries power from photovoltaic panels to an inverter. The process includes configuring, by the controller, the plurality of power electronics modules using the received hardware identifiers.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating device includes a vapor generation unit adapted to transform an aerosol forming material into vapor, and a vapor channel extending from the vapor generation unit to a vapor outlet of the aerosol-generating device. The vapor generation unit includes a micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS). The vapor channel is provided with a movable cover having a closed position in which it closes the vapor channel and an open position. The cover is adapted to move from the closed position to the open position under the effect of a suction applied on the aerosol-generating device by the user to vape. The cover has a lower face provided with a layer of an absorbent material adapted to imbibe the aerosol forming material. This protects the vaporisation device from any foreign particles and avoids liquid leakage.

Abstract: A nozzle housing is disclosed for a disposable fluid delivery system of an electrostatic applicator. The nozzle housing includes an air supply inlet port configured to be in fluid communication with and receive a nozzle end of an air supply tube. A voltage cavity port is configured to receive a tube with a voltage wire. A delivery outlet can be at a distal end of the nozzle housing opposite a luer inlet port, the delivery outlet configured to receive a delivery tube of a luer and in fluid communication with the air supply inlet port.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating device includes a vapor generation unit and a reservoir configured to store an aerosolizable material. The aerosol-generation device further includes a printed circuit board and a heater fastened to the printed circuit board, the printed circuit board being disposed such that the aerosolizable material is in contact with the printed circuit board after it derives from the reservoir and before it arrives to the vapor generation unit.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating device includes a vapor generation unit, at least one reservoir configured to store an aerosol forming material, and a filter disposed so as to remove particles from the aerosol forming material passing from the at least one reservoir to the vapor generation unit, the vapor generation unit including a micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS). The aerosol-generating device is configured to heat the filter so as to heat the aerosol forming material passing through it.

Abstract: An infant support structure may include a frame, a first portion, and a second portion. The first portion may contain a seat configured to receive an infant. The first portion may be movably coupled to the frame via a resilient member. The resilient member may suspend the first portion above a support surface and facilitate movement of the first portion with respect to the frame. The second portion may be removably coupled to the first portion. When coupled to the first portion, the second portion may also be suspended above a support surface, and the infant support structure may provide a first play pattern to the infant. When uncoupled from the first portion, the second portion may be disposed on the support surface while the first portion remains suspended above the support surface, and the second portion may provide a second play pattern.
