Abstract: A system for manufacturing a thermoplastic object may include a robotic arm configured to dispense thermoplastic material, a support apparatus, a computing device and an imaging system. The imaging system may scan thermoplastic material dispensed by the first robotic arm and create a three-dimensional scan model. The model may be compared to a computer model profile to determine if the dispensed material requires adjustment. If the dispensed material requires adjustment, the computing device may adjust the robotic arm or the support apparatus.

Abstract: The Primary Plane Orientation Device may be orientated such that the lifting surface, and or propulsion group of the aerial vehicle rotates about an axis through the Primary Plane. The Primary Plane, then, may be orientated at any chosen angular offset from the vehicle axis such that the lifting surfaces can produce thrust at said angle to the vehicle axis. The orientation of the Primary plane may then smoothly transform to other desired angles such that the aerial vehicle remains unstalled during conversion between VTOL-rotary and fixed wing flight. The lifting surface, and/or propulsion groups may then be fixed in any orientation to the axis of the vehicle to produce fixed wing lift, or propulsion in line with the fuselage or at various offsets from the fuselage.

Abstract: The system of the preferred embodiments includes a fastener adapted to removably attach to a musical instrument, a blind coupled to the fastener and adapted to obstruct a user's view of the finger portion of the musical instrument, and a joint to couple the fastener to the blind. The system of the preferred embodiment has been specifically designed to obstruct a user's view of the finger portion of the musical instrument. If used properly, the system will train a user of the musical instrument to play without looking at the finger portion of the musical instrument thus aiding in muscle memory and helping the sense of sound by minimizing the use of sight. Furthermore, the blind portion of the instrument can be used as a visual output/input screen for use as electronic sheet music, notes, and communication device to the conductor.
