Abstract: A fabrication system is disclosed. The fabrication system may have a work surface configured to support a base component, and an image projector. The image projector may be configured to project onto the base component a first image corresponding to an existing feature of the base component, and to project onto the base component a second image corresponding to a feature to be fabricated.

Abstract: The present invention is a credit card, debit card or prepaid card with a front facing and a back facing with improved security features for a user. The card has printed card related indicia on the front facing of the card to allow the user to determine an account associated with the card and a magnetic strip with encrypted information and a plurality of tracking formats disposed on the back facing of the card to prevent reading by a magnetic stripe reader. There is also a separate supplemental card or document supplied to the user to furnish an account number for ordering desired products or services.

Abstract: A method for controlling distortion of a material during a weld process. The method includes modeling the weld process of the material, determining distortions produced by the weld process, determining a plurality of simulated induced distortions in the model to offset the produced distortions, generating a plurality of actual induced distortions in the material as a function of the simulated induced distortions, and performing the weld process on the material.
