  • Patent number: 11710012
    Abstract: A digital printing process for printing an image (I) including a white area (W) and/or a coloured area (C) on a packaging material includes selecting a packaging material with a substantially white side, and preparing print data to be sent to a printing means taking into account that the side of the packaging material is substantially white. The print data represents one or more first image areas (A1) representing the image (I), and one or more second image areas (A2) representing a packaging look (L), to be printed on the substantially white side of the packaging material, outside the one or more first image areas (A1) where the image (I) is to be located. The method further includes printing by the printing means on the substantially white side of the packaging material using the print data.

  • Patent number: 11648781
    Abstract: A method for printing a plurality of scan lines with one or more inkjet heads includes receiving at least one scanline; creating, from pixels of said at least one scanline, a plurality of bundles of a predetermined size comprising first bundles and consecutive bundles, said first and consecutive bundles comprising pixels for which nozzles of the one or more inkjet heads have to be fired within a first time period and within a consecutive time period, respectively; and storing said plurality of bundles in a first memory. The method includes transferring said plurality of bundles from first memory to second memory; and repeating until all said pixels are available in the second memory as the first bundles. Nozzles of the one or more inkjet heads are fired in accordance with the first bundles within the first time period and steps repeated for consecutive bundles and associated respective consecutive time periods.

  • Publication number: 20220202511
    Abstract: A robotic system is provided for assisting during bone surgery, adapted to control the position of a limb. The robotic system includes a robotic arm connected to a fixation device for rigidly connecting the distal bone to the robotic arm and allowing movement in six degrees of freedom. Specifically, the fixation device provides at least two fixation points to the distal bone. The first fixation point can be rigidly connected to the distal bone near the joint and the second fixation point can be rigidly connected to a distal position of the distal bone. The rigid connection of the distal bone to the robotic arm allows the robotic system to impose controlled movement on the distal bone in six degrees of freedom.

  • Patent number: 11369477
    Abstract: Knee prostheses that more faithfully replicate the structure and function of the human knee joint in order to provide, among other benefits: greater flexion of the knee in a more natural way by promoting or accommodating internal tibial rotation, replication of the natural screw home mechanism, and controlled articulation of the tibia and femur respective to each other in a natural way. Such prostheses may include an insert component disposed between a femoral component and a tibial component, the insert component featuring, among other things, a reversely contoured posterolateral bearing surface that helps impart internal rotation to the tibia as the knee flexes. Other surfaces can be shaped using iterative automated techniques that allow testing and iterative design taking into account a manageable set of major forces acting on the knee during normal functioning, together with information that is known about natural knee joint kinetics and kinematics.

  • Publication number: 20170255124
    Abstract: A digital printing apparatus using liquid toner including a carrier liquid, a dispersing agent and imaging particles. The apparatus includes a first image forming unit for a first colour; a second image forming unit for a second colour, and a substrate support assembly for supporting the substrate during the subsequent transfer of first and second liquid toner from the first and second image forming unit to the substrate. The second image forming unit is arranged downstream of the first image forming unit along the substrate support assembly. The first image forming unit and the substrate support assembly are arranged such that the substrate is compressed in a first nip between the first image forming unit and the substrate support assembly. A control mechanism adjusts the first and/or second pattern to compensate for the increased width of the substrate downstream of the first image forming unit.
