  • Publication number: 20220080670
    Abstract: An example method of generating three-dimensional objects is disclosed. Object generation instructions to generate the object may be determined by defining a shell region of a layer of build material corresponding to the first portion of the object having a first color, and defining a fusing agent region on a layer of build material adjacent to the shell region on which fusing agent of a second color is to be applied and specifying an amount of colorant to be applied to the shell region wherein the object generation instructions specify application of fusing agent and colorant such that, when the layer of build material is heated using a heat source, the fusing agent region of the build material melts due to energy absorbed from the heat source and the build material of the shell region melts due, at least in part, to energy transfer from the fusing agent region.

  • Patent number: 11241059
    Abstract: A garment worn by a wearer has an impact absorbing material comprising arrays of various hexagonal or other deformable polygonal-shaped structures positioned between an exterior surface and an interior surface. When force is applied to the exterior surface, the structures of the impact absorbing materials deform (e.g., buckle) in a desired manner, reducing the force received by the interior surface.

  • Publication number: 20210394447
    Abstract: In one example a method of generating a three-dimensional object in a 3D printing system using a fusing agent of a first colour and a build material having a second colour different from the first colour, and a detailing agent, comprises obtaining object model data describing an object to be generated, and determining a first portion of the object to be generated to have the second colour. The method comprises determining object generation instructions to generate the object by defining a gap region of a layer of build material that is to correspond to the first portion of the object to have the second colour on which no agents are to be applied, a band of detailing agent on a layer of build material immediately adjacent to the gap region to define an outer limit of the gap region and therefore a boundary of the first portion of the object, and a fusing agent region on a layer of build material adjacent to the gap region on which fusing agent is to be applied.

  • Publication number: 20210101340
    Abstract: A three-dimensional printing system may include a three-dimensional printer. The three-dimensional printer may include a station to receive and rotate a build material container having an axial port, an auger and at least one at least one actuator to move at least one of the build material container and the auger relative to one another to position the auger through the axial port into the build material container.

  • Publication number: 20210085013
    Abstract: The adjustable helmet assembly disclosed within in comprises a front shell, a back shell and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism allows sliding movement of the front shell relative to the back shell for adjustment to a desired length for a specific wearer. The locking mechanism is movable from an unlocked position allowing the front shell to move relative to the back shell, and a locked position prohibiting the front shell to move relative to the back shell. The locking mechanism may be a clamp or lever function, and/or a cam function. Accordingly, the adjustable helmet may further comprise crumple zones to further reduce and/or dissipate impact forces.

  • Publication number: 20200060458
    Abstract: A drink system comprising a platform configured to extend between supporting members. The drink system comprises a body configured to traverse a plane between the two supporting members when attached to the platform, the body comprising an interior space configured to store liquid. The drink system optionally comprises a tube to draw the liquid from the body. The tube comprising a first portion configured to fit within the body and a second portion configured to extend outside the body. The drink system optionally includes a clip configured to attach to the second portion of the tube for placement of the tube relative to a user to draw the liquid from the body.

  • Publication number: 20200060374
    Abstract: The invention herein relates to an improved helmet design that allows enhanced modularity and quick installation of various types of computing equipment, electronics, electronic communications modules (ECMs), stock impact mitigation pads and/or custom impact mitigation pads within a commercially available helmet. A commercially available helmet can be retrofitted with a pocket or chamber that sized and configured to receive a protective enclosure. The protective enclosure may house at least one of an electronic communications modules (ECMs), stock impact mitigation pads or custom impact mitigation pads. The protective enclosure can be quickly and easily secured within the pocket or chamber disposed within the helmet. Such improved helmet design may be customized to the specific ECM, and its protective enclosure may also be small, lightweight, durable and/or low-profile, but yet not sacrifice comfort and impact performance of the helmet.
