The controller is also configured to apply a first warping correction to a first image projected by the first projector, based at least in part on a position of the first projector. The controller is further configured to apply a second warping correction to a second image projected by the second projector, based at least in part on a position of the second projector.

Abstract: An adaptive cutting system is presented that facilitates cutting workpieces in new and different ways in a fun, easy, fast, accurate and safe manner. The system includes a benchtop having a grid of bench dog holes across its surface as well as a pair of table tracks embedded within its surface. An edge track extends around the benchtop and a pair of hinge members are connected to the edge tracks that also connect to a saw track that is movable between a raised and lowered position. The system also includes narrow rip stops, wide rip stops, bench dogs and a miter gauge all of which work in concert with the on-table features to facilitate on-table measurement and alignment of workpieces for performing cutting operations.

Abstract: A disclosed method of operation includes detecting emergency call data from an emergency call data feed to an emergency network; obtaining the emergency call data from the emergency network over a network connection; and providing emergency data to the emergency network over the network connection based on device identifiers contained in the emergency call data.

Abstract: A circuit assembly may include a substrate and a pattern of contact points formed from deformable conductive material supported by the substrate. The assembly may further include an electric component supported by the substrate and having terminals arranged in a pattern corresponding to the pattern of contacts points. The one or more of the terminals of the electric component may contact one or more of the corresponding contact points to form one or more electrical connections between the electric component and the contact points.

Abstract: A cable hanger including a body defining a support coupling and a number of supported element couplings. The support coupling is a rigid element support coupling.

Abstract: The devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are directed to spreader positioning techniques for consistent and rapid layer-by-layer fabrication of three-dimensional objects formed through binder jetting. For example, an additive manufacturing system may include a roller and a print carriage. In a layer-by-layer fabrication process, the roller may move in advance of the print carriage over a dimension of a volume to spread a respective layer of powder onto which the print carriage delivers a binder. Controlling the position of the roller may facilitate achieving consistent layer characteristics which, in turn, may facilitate fabrication of high quality parts.

Abstract: Provided is a method, computer program product, and virtual reality system for mapping detected external stimuli to visual stimuli within a virtual reality simulation. A processor may detect an audio stimulus external to a virtual reality simulation. The processor may compare a noise level of the detected external audio stimulus to a threshold noise level relative to internal audio in the virtual reality simulation. The processor may identify, in response to determining that the noise level of the detected external audio stimulus is greater than the threshold noise level, a sound corresponding to the detected external audio stimulus. The processor may retrieve environmental factors of the virtual reality simulation. The processor may map the detected external audio stimulus to a visual stimulus in the virtual reality simulation based on the identified type of sound and the environmental factors. The processor may produce the visual stimulus in the virtual reality simulation.

Abstract: This is a measuring tool for use in the installation of metal roofing when such metal roofing must be cut in order to fit along valleys in the roof structure. Valleys are places where the roof surface changes direction, such as where the roof of a gable joins the main body of the roof. The tool measures the point at which the metal roofing panel is to be cut by sliding the base of the tool down the last rib of the last installed panel until the tip of the pointer arm touches the chalk like along which the next panel must fit. The distance from the top of said last panel to the bottom of the base of the tool corresponds to the distance from the top of the new panel to the point at which its leading edge should be cut to fit along the chalk line.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for ablating tissue are disclosed that comprise positioning two or more bi-directional ablation energy sources in spaced-apart relation in sufficient proximity to the tissue to be ablated so that, upon activation each energy source creates an energy field in the tissue to be ablated. The energy sources are spaced such that the energy fields created by at least one of the activated sources partially overlaps with the energy field created by one or more of the other energy sources. The energy sources are alternately activated and deactivated, so that a substantially constant energy field results where the energy fields created by at least two of the energy sources overlap. While the energy sources are preferably RF energy sources, other energy sources, such as microwave, may be used.
