Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for collecting, organizing, and managing third-party content from multiple sources associated with a user account to present as synthesized tasks in a consolidated graphical user interface and minimize the distraction provided by multiple interfaces. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems analyze content from various web-based data sources, collect relevant content, create synthesized tasks associated with the relevant content, and present the relevant content to the user grouped into synthesized tasks in a single graphical user interface. Additionally, the disclosed systems can prioritize the generated synthesized tasks within the graphical user interface and provide productivity metrics based on the degree to which an associated user interacts with the synthesized tasks.

Abstract: A universal object holding mechanism for holding three-dimensional objects for printing thereon uses an array of suction cups mounted at the ends of retractable tubes. The array is pressed into an object which in turn is pressed against a datum surface that represents a print head. Vacuum is applied through the tubes to the suction cups which grip the object. The suction cup walls are hollow and filed with particulates that cause the cup to become rigid when the vacuum is applied. This contributes to keeping the object from moving due to flex in the suction cup when it is being moved past the print head.

Abstract: A method for printing on a multi-dimensional object may include creating a customized object holder for the multi-dimensional object via thermoforming. The customized object holder includes at least one datum point for providing registration information corresponding to one or more printable areas of the multi-dimensional object. The method may then include mounting the multi-dimensional object on the customized object holder, attaching the customized object holder to a moving sled of a print system, and controlling the movement of the moving sled relative to a plurality of print heads, and operating the plurality of print heads to eject marking material onto the multi-dimensional object. The movement of the moving sled may be controlled by determining a position of at least one printable area on the multi-dimensional object, and using the determined position to control the movement of the moving sled relative to the plurality of print heads.
