Abstract: The present disclosure provides three-dimensional (3D) printing processes and systems, including methods, apparatuses, software, and systems for transferring a particulate material from one position (e.g., on one surface) to another position (e.g., on a different surface), which particulate material may be used for the production of a 3D object. In some embodiments, the particulate material may be transferred using, for example, a charged particle optical device.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in securing a reusable medical device to an exterior surface of a patient's body includes a cushion, a first adhesive member, and a second adhesive member. The cushion includes a bottom side, a top side opposite the bottom side, and an opening adapted to receive at least a portion of the reusable medical device therein. The first adhesive member includes an upper adhesive surface and lower adhesive surface opposite the upper adhesive surface. The second adhesive member is interposed between the cushion and the first adhesive member, and includes a first adhesive surface and a second adhesive surface opposite the first adhesive surface.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems, apparatuses, and methods for detecting and correcting for magnetic field distortions within a magnetic field used for medical magnetic localization systems.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a mounting assembly for attaching medical equipment to a patient table. In one particular embodiment, the present disclosure provides a mounting assembly for attaching a magnetic field generator to a patient table. The mounting assembly allows for the secure attachment of the magnetic field generator to the patient table while also allowing for easy adjustment of the positioning and location of the magnetic field generator, even after the patient is on the table. In many embodiments the mounting assembly is comprised of a mounting apparatus that attaches directly to the patient table and first and second side rails that attach to the magnetic field generator and are configured to slidably attach to the mounting apparatus. In some embodiments, the mounting apparatus and side rails are constructed of a material that provides little or no interference with the magnetic field generator.

Abstract: An electrical feedthrough for an implantable medical device (IMD) is provided that employs a feedthrough conductor having a non-platinum based inner core and one or more layers of a conductive coating to control oxide growth on the surface of the conductor. The coating permits soldering the feedthrough conductor to IMD electronics.
