Abstract: In some embodiments, a printer system may include a location sensor, a motor and driver assembly configured for adjusting a print position of a subsequent image on a substrate having a first side and a second side and at least one wireless communication device, and an optical sensor. Adjustment of the print position may be based on detection of the wireless communication device using the location sensor and a subsequent determination of whether the corresponding printed image is properly aligned with the wireless communication device using the optical sensor.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for producing a fiber from a waste material comprising: (i) fraying a waste material to form a fiber base; (ii) carding the fiber base to form a recovered fiber; and (iii) spinning the recovered fiber. The waste material may comprise manufacturing scraps, damaged materials, selvedges, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the method may further comprise reducing the size of the waste material prior to fraying and/or blending the fiber base. Also described herein is a fiber produced from waste material using the disclosed methods.

Abstract: A light-emitting trimming, particularly a light-emitting trimming for an article of clothing, which may be configured to provide light or to provide messages on a display screen. Such a trimming may be integrated into a high-visibility safety vest or other article of clothing in order to provide additional visibility to the article, enhancing its effects for the wearer and promoting safety. Such a trimming may also be integrated into any article in order to provide displayed messages, which can be controlled by a controller such as a smartphone and may be as simple or complex as desired. The trimming may be applied in the form of a tape, label, insert, or other article, and may be applied to an article of clothing in such a manner that the complete construction is washable.

Abstract: Described herein is an engine/pump of a pneumatic type, having a stator with radial cylinders, within which there can slide respective pistons, each carrying a roller that engages an annular cam carried by a rotor. A guide system forces each piston to move, maintaining its axis rigorously aligned with the axis of the respective cylinder. The propulsion system that uses said engine includes high-pressure, medium-pressure and low-pressure tanks, and an auxiliary engine, which controls one or more compressors. A motor vehicle which uses the aforesaid system presents innovative peculiarities as regards construction and location of the tanks of pressurized air or gas, which are filled with spongy material, and also as regards construction of the accelerator and brake controls.

Abstract: The device includes fan devices associated with each wheel of the vehicle for creating respective auxiliary flows. Conveying devices, associated with the wheel housing, direct the auxiliary flows to a distributor provided with an outlet opening, so that the air flows from the distributors sweep along the bottom of the motor vehicle and exit in the area of the truncated tail portion of the vehicle body in order to create, at least partially, a so-called tailstream produced by a stationary ring vortex.

Abstract: The apparatus comprises three rigid elements joined articulatedly together by constraint means such as to allow a first articulated element to oscillate with respect to a second element about a first substantially fixed axis of virtual oscillation, and to allow a second articulated element to oscillate with respect to the third element about a second substantially fixed axis of virtual oscillation perpendicular to the first axis; the first articulated element is arranged to be fixed rigidly to the vehicle body and the third element is arranged to be fixed to a support structure interposed between the apparatus and the apparatus base.

Abstract: An aerodynamic device for improving the high speed running conditions of motorcycles, comprising an airfoil fitted to the motorcycle to produce a negative lifting action approximately in the vertical plane passing through the pivot axle of the front wheel.
