Abstract: Dispensing units or stations for dispensing items, such as in a healthcare facility, are linked in a network. The dispensing stations are arranged in groups. Inventory data for all the stations in a group is combined together, and displayed at a graphical view or widget. Multiple widgets may be displayed on a dashboard screen of a user system, for use in managing inventory.

Abstract: An argon fluoride (ArF) laser system for inertial nuclear fusion energy production with lower required laser energy than other laser drivers. An Argon fluoride laser system uniformly illuminates a spherical capsule comprising an outer ablator wall surrounding an inner shell comprising the fusion fuel. The laser beams are adjusted spectrally to achieve a bandwidth of up to 12 THz and a coherence time as low as 80 femtoseconds that in combination with the short wavelength (193 nm) suppress laser plasma instabilities. Uniform spherical acceleration causes the inner shell of the target capsule to form a spherical assembly of compressed fuel surrounding a “hot spot” that has sufficient temperature, density and size to ignite and initiate a thermonuclear burn.

Abstract: An unorganized point cloud may be created by an optical 3D scanner that scans a physical object, or by computer simulation. The point cloud may be converted into binary raster layers, which encode material deposition instructions for a multi-material 3D printer. In many cases, this conversion—from point cloud to binary raster files—is achieved without producing a 3D voxel representation and without producing a boundary representation of the object to be printed. The conversion may involve spatial queries to find nearby points, filtering material properties of the found points, looking up material mixing ratios, and dithering to produce binary raster files. These raster files may be sent to a multi-material 3D printer to control fabrication of an object. A user interface may display a preview of the object to be printed, and may accept user input to create or modify a point cloud.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method to produce solid materials displaying structural ordering which can be controlled through a wide range of sizes and shapes. The process involves casting a medium, which solidifies (such as a resin or molten metal) over the surface of a magnet-fluid.

Abstract: A system for reducing peak electromagnetic interference in a network device. The network device includes multiple clock sources and multiple clocked components. Each clocked component receives a clock signal with an actual clock frequency from a separate clock source. The clock signals have an identical nominal frequency. The actual frequency of each clock signal deviates from the nominal frequency within a predetermined range.

Abstract: A vaporization lighter device includes a heat source for producing a flame and directing the same in a horizontal direction. The heat source is perpendicularly aligned with a flame filter via a main body. The flame filter includes an elongated chamber having an open front end, an open second end, and an aperture along the central portion. A non-combustible filter material is positioned within the elongated chamber and spans the central aperture. Ambient air is drawn through the open first end, across the filter material where it absorbs heat, and leaves the second end as super-heated air.

Abstract: An apparatus for converting between synchronous audio, video and control signals and asynchronous data streams for an IP network as interfaces for the audio and video signals and for control signals. A processor is arranged to convert between the synchronous audio, video and control signals and asynchronous packaged data streams. The data streams are sent on a stream according to IP standards that are selected according to the nature of the signal to be transmitted.

The HV first-conductivity FET has a second-conductivity-well and a field oxide formed over the second-conductivity-well to define an active area. A first-conductivity-well is formed in at least a portion of the active area, wherein the first-conductivity-well is formed to have the capability to operate as a first-conductivity-drift portion of the HV-first-conductivity FET. The HV second-conductivity FET has a first-conductivity-well and a field oxide formed over the first-conductivity-well to define an active area. A channel stop region I s formed in at least a portion of the active area, wherein the channel stop region is formed to have the capability to operate as second-conductivity? drift portions of the HV-second-conductivity FET.
