Abstract: Systems and methods for lens creations are disclosed. The method includes initiating light transmission from a light source through a diffuser into a container holding resin and a substrate. The light transmission is performed according to an irradiation pattern wherein each point in the resin is illuminated by at least 10% of the diffuser. This causes a lens to be formed. To achieve this illumination, at least 15% of the diffuser receives light from the light source. Further, a diameter of the diffuser is greater than or equal to a diameter of the substrate. The system performing the methods includes a polymerization apparatus and may include a resin conditioning and reservoir apparatus, a metrology unit, a resin drainage apparatus and an optional postcuring apparatus.

Abstract: Described herein are multi-tool boring systems and methods of operating such systems for tunnel boring and/or underground pipe installation. A multi-tool boring system is specially configured for fast installation and replacement of various tools, such as a pneumatic rammer and a hydraulic drive, enabling different operating modes of the system, e.g., pilot tube installation, auger boring, pipe ramming, pilot pullback boring, static pipe bursting, and non-contact boring. In some examples, a multi-tool boring system comprises a track assembly, a jacking frame slidably supported on the track assembly, and an impact plate assembly, which is attached to the jacking frame and comprises an impact plate and shock absorbers between the impact plate and the jacking frame. The impact plate comprises an impact plate opening configured to engage and support a pneumatic rammer. The rammer can be replaced with a hydraulic drive with a shaft protruding through the opening.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a surgical system for patella tracking and a method for selecting a properly-sized patellar implant utilizing the same. The surgical system may include first and second trackers and a patellar tracking system. The first tracker may be configured to contact an unresected or a resected patella, and the second tracker may be configured to contact a bone. The patellar tracking system may be configured to track the first and second trackers during patellar flexion and extension to generate patellar range of motion and patellar trial range of motion. A method for selecting a patellar implant may utilize the first and second trackers and the patellar tracking system.

Abstract: A multi-stage process to remove contaminant gases from raw methane streams is provided. The present technology is an innovative solution to recover and purify biogas by use of a process having at least two pressure swing adsorption stages. Taking advantage of the presence of carbon dioxide in the raw biogas streams, nitrogen and oxygen are bulky removed in the first stage, using selective adsorbents, and a nitrogen and oxygen-depleted intermediate stream is yielded to the second stage. The second stage employs an adsorbent or adsorbents to selectively remove carbon dioxide and trace amounts of remaining nitrogen and oxygen, thus producing a purer methane stream that meets pipeline and natural gas specifications.

Abstract: Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) can be generated and stored on a digital ledger for use in controlling ownership of well log data in some examples described herein. In one such example, a system can encrypt well log data to generate encrypted well-log data. The system can then generate a new record that associates a non-fungible token with the encrypted well-log data, where the non-fungible token is usable to track ownership of the well log data. The system can then publish the new record to a digital ledger that is distributed among a plurality of computer nodes of a ledger network. The new record can be published to the digital ledger in response to at least a subset of the computer nodes reaching a consensus decision to add the new record to the digital ledger.
