  • Patent number: 11141121
    Abstract: For radiation safety, a fluoroscope has an adjustable X-ray source-to-intensifier distance (SID) and an X-ray transparent spacer positioned between the source and receptor. As a distance between the source and the intensifier is changed, the spacer is moved or a different sized transparent spacer is used, to ensure a safe minimum skin-to-source distance (SSD) is maintained. A processor is programmed to inhibit the generation of X-rays if the SID is greater than a defined distance and the spacer is not in position.

  • Patent number: 11141908
    Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for efficient 3D printing that address conventional inefficiencies while utilizing a single compact device are set forth. Some embodiments utilize a circular-shaped build area revolving symmetrically around a single center point utilizing a continuous helical printing process. In some embodiments, vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are utilized as an energy source for curing the print material. The VCSELs can be integrated with the print head and can form an array which can be staggered or linear. In some embodiments, the VCSELs (and the corresponding print head)can be connected to a rotating platform, which can rotate independently from the revolving build area. In some embodiments, a thermoelectric cooler and/or a fluid cooler can provide cooling to the VCSELS.

  • Patent number: 11144206
    Abstract: A method and system for sharing data reduction metadata with storage systems. Specifically, the disclosed method and system entail communicating, to a storage system, information known to host devices from which data (submitted to-be-written to the storage system) may originate. This a priori reduction-pertinent information, which may include the potential to improve storage system efficiency and/or performance at least with respect to data reduction processing of the data submitted to-be-written, had previously been considered incommunicable to the storage system. The disclosed method and system, however, lift this previous limitation and enable communication of any storage system performance-improving information, applicable to the data submitted to-be-written, to the storage system.
