Abstract: Insulating devices are disclosed that are designed to hold a beverage container, such as a can or a plastic or glass bottle. The devices include a body designed to maintain the temperature of the contents of the container and a base mounted on the body. The base includes an exposed surface configured to prevent sliding of the device on a surface on which the device is placed. The base may also be configured to enhance the stiffness of the lower part of the body and may improve the insulating characteristics of the device, for example, if the device is placed on a surface having a temperature that is significantly hotter or colder than the air temperature.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for use in generating and delivering 3-D printed wearables via the use of body image data where the body is in under multiple physical conditions. Some embodiments include further body part data including videos of sequences of motion, static images, both 2-D and 3-D modeling, and user preference. Users take videos and/or photos of parts of their body as input into a custom wearable generation application. The body photos are subjected to a precise computer vision (CV) process to determine specific measurements of the user's body and the stresses.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for use in generating and delivering 3-D printed wearables via a biomechanical analysis derived from commonly available hardware, such as a smartphone. Users take videos and/or photos of parts of their body as input into a custom wearable generation application. The body photos are subjected to a precise computer vision (CV) process to determine specific measurements of the user's body and the stresses thereon as their body is put into multiple physical conditions or executes sequences of motion.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique to efficiently pack a print volume of 3D printers having print jobs with a large number of objects. The technique positions unique objects that adhere to a similar structural pattern more closely when the degree of variation between the objects is small. Thus, while each object is unique, a greater extent of similarity between the objects causes a given group of objects to be positioned more closely to one another in the print area of the 3D printer.
