  • Publication number: 20240015029
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides generally for systems and methods of authenticating one or more aspects of electronic communication. According to the present disclosure, authenticable communications may allow for authentication of at least a portion of the content of the electronic communication, which may limit potential damage caused by fraudulent communications. In some aspects, an authenticable communication may allow a recipient to confirm that the indicated source is the actual source of the authenticable communication. In some embodiments, the authentication may not require an exchange of encrypted communications or an exchange of communications solely within the same communication system. Authenticable communications may provide a separate layer of security that may allow a recipient to review the contents with confidence that the communication is not fraudulent. Further, authenticable communications may provide the additional security without requiring specialized software.

  • Publication number: 20230347573
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a three-dimensional object by means of an additive manufacturing process in which a manufacturing material is fed in a free-flowing state through at least one feed-in opening of at least one feed-in needle into a supporting material and then cured, the feed-in opening being configured in such a way that manufacturing material can be fed through it into the supporting material along a feed-in line, wherein the feed-in needle moves from a starting position to an end position that are so close together that the feed-in needle moves along an at least almost closed path, wherein the course, the extension and/or the length of the feed-in line is selected such that the three-dimensional object is produced with a single revolution of the feed-in needle.

  • Publication number: 20230226750
    Abstract: A method for producing a three-dimensional object by an additive manufacturing process includes introducing at least one manufacturing material fed in a flowable state from at least one feed-in opening of at least one feed-in needle into a supporting material. After being fed in, the at least one manufacturing material is cured, but it remains flexible or elastic after curing.

  • Publication number: 20220226129
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a prosthetic liner for insertion into a prosthetic socket, which comprises a receptacle having a distal end and a proximal edge for a residual limb and the prosthetic liner. Said The method comprises determining a sealing lip contour on the outer face of the prosthetic liner which corresponds to a height contour of the proximal edge of the prosthetic socket, or on the basis of available, known anatomic characteristics of the residual limb and arranging a sealing lipon the outer face of the prosthetic liner along the determined sealing lip contour.

  • Publication number: 20220031551
    Abstract: A device for supporting at least one arm of a user, has one or more arm support elements, each of which has an arm shell for mounting on an arm. Passive actuator(s) are configured to exert a force on an arm support element by way of which an upward movement of the arm in the arm shell is supported when the device is in the mounted state. The device includes at least one counter bearing for the force to be applied, and at least one actuating element, the actuation of which allows the actuator to be moved into a first state where the actuator exerts the force on the at least one arm support element, and into a second state in which it exerts a smaller or no force on the arm support element.
