The shell may be connected to the substrate by welding or brazing to the substrate, and may wear away during use. The shell and the substrate may be used as part of an assembly for producing the article, where the shell is used as a mold for forming the composite material by filling the shell with the hard particulate material and subsequently infiltrating with the brazing material.

Abstract: Systems and methods detect steps from one or more sensed accelerometer signals. Systems comprise an accelerometer and a non-transitory computer readable medium, each of which communicates with a processor. The accelerometer is coupled to an individual and generates outputs received by the processor. The non-transitory computer readable medium stores instructions controlling the processor to perform steps of a method. The processor determines a minimum and a maximum reading for respective time periods. Counted peak heights are maxima that exceed a rest threshold. The rest threshold may be a function of the rest maximum. The processor determines a peak threshold for each time period having a counted peak height. A counted amplitude comprises the difference between the maximum reading and minimum readings of a time period in which the counted peak height exceeds the peak threshold. The processor increments a step counter when a counted amplitude exceeds an amplitude threshold.

Abstract: A mixed reality (MR) simulation system includes a console and a head mounted device (HMD). The MR system captures stereoscopic images from a real-world environment using outward-facing stereoscopic cameras mounted to the HMD. The MR system preprocesses the stereoscopic images to maximize contrast and then extracts a set of features from those images, including edges or corners, among others. For each feature, the MR system generates one or more two-dimensional (2D) polylines. Then, the MR system triangulates between 2D polylines found in right side images and corresponding 2D polylines found in left side images to generate a set of 3D polylines. The MR system interpolates between 3D vertices included in the 3D polylines or extrapolates additional 3D vertices, thereby generating a geometric reconstruction of the real-world environment. The MR system may map textures derived from the real-world environment onto the geometric representation faster than the geometric reconstruction is updated.
