Abstract: In vivo visualization systems are described which facilitate tissue treatment by a user in utilizing real time visualized tissue images with generated three-dimensional models of the tissue region of interest, such as the left atrial chamber of a subject's heart. Directional indicators on the visualized tissue as well as the imaging systems may be utilized while other variations may utilize image rotation or manipulation of visualized tissue regions to facilitate catheter control. Moreover, visualized tissue regions may be combined with imaged tissue regions as well as navigational information to further facilitate tissue treatments.

Abstract: Systems and devices for a ring wearable cover with non-deformable circumference are described. The removable cover for a wearable ring device may include a ring-shaped surface configured to extend around a full circumference of the wearable ring device when the removable cover is in a mounted state on the wearable ring device and one or more mounting features that are disposed on the ring-shaped surface. The one or more mounting features may be configured to interact with a surface of the wearable ring device to lock the removable cover onto the wearable ring device when the removable cover is in the mounted state on the wearable ring device. In some cases, a diameter of the removable cover is unchanged while the removable cover transitions from the mounted state on the wearable ring device to an unmounted state off of the wearable ring device.

Abstract: Systems and devices for a ring wearable cover with deformable circumference are described. The removable cover for a wearable ring device may include a ring-shaped surface and one or more mechanical features integrated into the ring-shaped surface and configured to transition between an open state and a closed state. In the closed state, the ring-shaped surface may be configured to extend around a full circumference of the wearable ring device. In some cases, a diameter of the removable cover in the open state is greater than a diameter of the removable cover in the closed state, and the diameter of the removable cover in the closed state is sized to form an interference fit with a surface of the wearable ring device to lock the removable cover onto the wearable ring device when the removable cover is in the closed state.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a three-dimensional article is provided for a system including a powder handling module containing stored metal powder. The stored metal powder includes used metal powder that was previously part of the metal powder loaded into a print engine during a previous fabrication process. The method includes (1) loading a volume of the metal powder into an agitation device, (2) operating the agitation device until an avalanche angle of the metal powder is modified to within a specified range to provide a volume of usable metal powder, (3) loading the usable metal powder into a three-dimensional print engine, and (4) operating the print engine to fabricate a the three-dimensional article. This process improves coating quality within the print engine. Improving coating quality improves dimensional accuracy of the three-dimensional article along with reducing defects resulting from coating artifacts.
