  • Patent number: 11955117
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for analyzing and reacting to interactions between entities using electronic communication channels. The method includes receiving, via the communications module, data captured from a conversational exchange between a first entity communicating with a second entity using an electronic communication channel. The method also includes analyzing the captured data to detect an indication that the first entity is or was distracted during the conversational exchange, is or was disinterested in a portion of the conversational exchange or missed the portion of the conversational exchange. The method also includes determining based on the indication an action to address the distraction during, disinterest in, or missing of, the portion of the conversational exchange; and providing, via the communications module, an automated message to at least one of the first entity and the second entity for executing the action.

  • Publication number: 20160236418
    Abstract: An accelerometer is supported on a print head assembly to determine actual acceleration, and a computer system is used to obtain and store information about error in movement along a specified axis. The method used is to activate a motor for a selected axis at a particular location, then calculate an expected acceleration. The next step is to measure the actual acceleration data and then compute error data. Following that is a step to store error data in the memory as a function of position and error. These steps are repeated for N locations along each specified axis. Then, this error data is referred to during actual printing operations to reduce error.

  • Publication number: 20160236407
    Abstract: A 3D printer has a casing, a nozzle for printing, an extruder, a heating element, and a print bed. The casing encloses a region above and around the print bed to form a printing zone. The apparatus has a plurality of micro motors for controlling movement of the nozzle during printing. Further, the 3D printer has safer components as compared with the prior art, ideal for use in home and education situations, and includes a rounded edge design of the printer, an improved small and enclosed area of the printer heating element, and a lower power system, reducing the risk of electrical shock.

  • Publication number: 20160236420
    Abstract: A printbed for 3D printers and 3D printed objects has a hole size and thickness that facilitates release of the printed object, that is sufficiently strong to provide a stable base, and that does not cause warping of the printed object either during printing or during release of the object from the printbed.

  • Publication number: 20160236409
    Abstract: A 3D printer has a casing, a nozzle for printing, an extruder, a heating element, and a print bed. The casing encloses a region above and around the print bed to form a printing zone. Further, the 3D printer has features adapted for low-noise operation, and is already suitably quiet enough for use in a low-noise environment because it does not generate loud sounds. Specifically, in a quiet office with 37-38 dB of noise, noise emissions were measured while the present invention constructed a 3D printed model, and at six inches from the extruder on the 3D printer, the noise emissions measured 39-58 dB, at three feet away measured 38-43 dB, and at six feet away measured around 37-40 dB.

  • Publication number: 20160236413
    Abstract: A nozzle and cover for use in 3D printing, including a nozzle body having a relatively flattened end; a nozzle tip protruding a small distance from the flattened end; a disk of material surrounding the nozzle tip, the disk being in contact with the flattened end; and wherein the disk of material prevents sticking of plastic and thereby prevents charring. The device further includes providing the disk of material being composed of PTFE or silicone.

  • Publication number: 20110212529
    Abstract: The invention is directed to novel combinations of muscle-specific enhancers and promoter elements useful for achieving persistent expression in the muscle or myocyctes. The muscle-specific promoter elements are derived from a muscle creatine kinase promoter, a troponin I promoter, a skeletal alpha-actin promoter, or a desmin promoter. The muscle-specific enhancer elements are derived from either troponin I internal regulatory elements, muscle creatine kinase enhancers, or desmin enhancers.
