  • Publication number: 20240110070
    Abstract: A photoresin formulation for volumetric additive manufacturing contains a photo-curable mixture of: a monomer (e.g., an acrylate-based monomer); a photoinitiator; a polymerization inhibitor (e.g., molecular oxygen (O2)); and, a reducing agent reactive with a free radical species (e.g., a peroxyl radical) formed from the polymerization inhibitor. The reducing agent permits faster printing of objects from the photoresin formulation in a volumetric additive manufacturing process to produce 3D objects of high fidelity.

  • Publication number: 20160113407
    Abstract: A portable headrest device suitable for use in travel situations features an elongated main support, a headrest for carrying on the elongated main support in an elevated position above a support surface, a base plate for placement on the support surface to stabilize the elongated main support in the upright operational position, and a respective multi-axis joint between the elongated main support and each of the headrest and the base plate. At each joint, a shaft end, for example a respective end of the main support, is received and frictionally held within a flexible bushing surrounded by a rigid housing, whereby tilting of the shaft end in multiple directions is allowed. The bushing provides resistance against the tilting to prevent excess looseness or wobbling, and also a degree of shock and vibration absorption. The frictional coupling between the shaft and bushing holds the joint together without need for separate fasteners.
