Abstract: Methods for additive manufacture of an article corresponding with one or more arrays of data values. The article may include, for example, an optical lens, such as a contact lens or an intraocular lens. The methods include generating an array of data values and emitting droplets of polymerizable mixture in a pattern corresponding with the arrays of data values.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing voice commands are disclosed. A voice controlled device may receive audio data comprising a voice command. Location information indicative of the source of the audio data may be determined. One or more devices may be caused to determine signals based on the location information. The one or more devices may receive thermal data in response to the signals. The thermal data may be analyzed to determine if the thermal data indicates the presence of a person at the expected location. If a person is detected, then the audio data may processed to cause the voice command to be executed.

Abstract: A vehicle seat storage system includes a center passenger seat disposed between side passenger seats. The center seat includes a seat base and a seat back. A reclining mechanism mounted to one of side frame members of the seat base allows the seat back to move relative to the seat base. Seat anchors are disposed outwardly of the side frame members for securing a child seat. The center seat has a seating condition where the center seat is attached to a vehicle floor, and a stowed condition where the center seat is unattached from the floor with the seat back folded against the seat base. A vehicle interior sidewall includes a recessed portion configured to receive the center seat in the stowed condition. A lock mechanism provided in the recessed portion releasably engages the center seat when positioned in the recessed portion.
