  • Publication number: 20240050958
    Abstract: An example device comprises: a heater; a temperature sensor to monitor changes in temperature caused by the heater; a mechanical device to move the heater between a sample position and a rest position; and a circuit communicatively coupled to the heater, the temperature sensor, and the mechanical device. The circuit is to: control the mechanical device to move the heater to the sample position; control the heater to heat at the sample position; monitor, via the temperature sensor, the temperature; and in response to the temperature meeting a temperature condition, control the mechanical device to move the heater from the sample position to the rest position.

  • Patent number: 11298897
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a cured composite structure includes inserting a plurality of radius filler segments into a radius cavity extending along a length of an uncured composite base member to form an uncured structural assembly. The plurality of radius filler segments are placed in end-to-end arrangement within the radius cavity and each having opposing segment ends and being formed of a thermoplastic material. The method additionally includes heating the structural assembly at least to a base member cure temperature that causes the segment ends of end-to-end pairs of the plurality of radius filler segments to fuse together and form a continuous radius filler element that extends along the length of the composite base member. The method also includes allowing the structural assembly to cure to form a cured composite structure.

  • Patent number: 11091335
    Abstract: An example bridge module includes a media transport roller to move in a translational direction, a rotatable guide proximate to the media transport roller, a handle coupled to the rotatable guide to cause the rotatable guide to articulate into an open configuration and away from the media transport roller, and an elongated member operatively connected to the rotatable guide, the elongated member to articulate into the open configuration creating an unobstructed pathway to the media transport roller.

  • Publication number: 20200385223
    Abstract: An example apparatus includes a lift plate of a tray to hold a print medium. A support member is operatively connected to the lift plate. A sensor is attached to the support member to measure a distance of the lift plate from the sensor. A processor may receive a measurement of the distance of the lift plate from the sensor, and output an indicator describing an amount of print media in the tray based on the measurement of the distance of the lift plate from the sensor.

  • Patent number: 10834987
    Abstract: Embodiments herein employ a novel strategy based on a floating cellular liner that acts as a torsional suspension system to dampen rotational acceleration, such as head acceleration in a helmet, in response to an oblique impact. Specifically, the torsional suspension consists of an anisotropic cellular liner that is at least partially recessed inside a more rigid adjacent shell, relative to which the cellular liner can simultaneously undergo translation and in-plane compression.

  • Patent number: 10562322
    Abstract: An example assembly includes a first guide positioned in a pre-print zone area of an imaging device. A second guide rotatably is connected to the imaging device and spaced apart from the first guide to permit a print medium to traverse between the first guide and the second guide. A bearing mechanism connects the second guide to the imaging device in the pre-print zone area. An interface mechanism is operatively connected to the second guide. A bias element is positioned between the interface mechanism and the second guide to release energy upon exposing the interface mechanism to the pre-print zone area allowing rotation of the second guide away from the first guide.
