Abstract: A method for evaluating a three-dimensional (3D) object produced by a three-dimensional (3D) object printer includes generating with a scanner a first data file of the 3D object produced by the three-dimensional object printer. The first data file includes data corresponding to an interior surface and an exterior surface of the 3D object. The method further includes comparing the first data file with a second data file. The second data file is used to operate the three-dimensional object printer to produce the 3D object. The method further includes identifying differences between the first data file and the second data file and identifying a process to rectify a defect on the 3D object based on the identified differences to enable evaluation of the production of the 3D object by the three-dimensional object printer.

Abstract: A vehicle collision avoidance signaling method and system are disclosed. The collision signal captures the attention of a distracted driver for the driver to brake appropriately. The vehicle collision warning signal and lighting system automatically alerts an approaching driver of a stopped or slowed vehicle via a strobe or flashing lighting system. An onboard driver is also alerted to the approaching vehicle. Rear vehicle sensors can sense vehicles approaching from the rear and determine the distance, velocity, and the deceleration of the approaching vehicle. A processor processes the signal and integrates with the onboard vehicle's speedometer signal and braking system. If the approaching car's rate of closure is determined to be extreme compared to the vehicle's location, a bright strobe signal along with the brake signal would be automatically given The intensity of the strobe warning can be determined by the rate and distance at which a vehicle is approaching.

Abstract: A system for real-time measurement of vehicle performance. The system can include at least one sensor module mounted on a rotating member of the vehicle and a central module disposed in the vehicle. The sensor module can include a plurality of sensors communicatively coupled to a microcontroller, at least one wireless communications device communicatively coupled to the microcontroller, and a power source. The central module can include a central processor, memory, a central wireless communications device communicatively coupled to the central processor and to the at least one wireless communications device of the sensor module. The rotating member of the vehicle can be a wheel, a brake rotor, or a torsion disc disposed between an axle of the vehicle and a wheel of the vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for monitoring a child's vitals and transmitting these vitals, through wireless technology, to a portable alert device. The child monitoring device may include a wearable device, a base station, and a portable alert device. The wearable device may record, among other things, a child's pulse oximetry, and send data regarding these readings, via short range transmission, to a base station which may analyze these readings, and transmit data regarding the child's health, via long range transmission, to the portable alert device. This apparatus will enable a caregiver to monitor a child for sign of health problems, including sleep apnea and SIDS, and alert the caregiver at the onset of any such problems.

Abstract: An imaging architecture and method for duplex printing including a first imaging station operative to mark a first side of a substrate media with a first image, a first media transport module configured and operative to convey the substrate media in proximity with the first imaging station in a process direction along which the substrate media passes through the imaging architecture, and to invert the orientation of the substrate media without interrupting the conveyance of the substrate media in the process direction. A second imaging station is operative to mark the inverted substrate medium on a second side opposing the first side with a second image, and a second media transport module is configured and operative to convey the inverted substrate media in proximity with the second imaging station in the process direction.
