  • Publication number: 20240350222
    Abstract: Non-adhesive medical attachment articles include a first rotationally distinct segment (110), where the first rotational segment has a circular or semi-circular array of angled microneedles (111), and a second rotationally distinct segment, (120) with a second sequential circular or semi-circular array of angled microneedles (121). A communication member (130) connects the two rotationally distinct segments. The arrays of microneedles are angled in opposite directions, and the segments rotate in opposite directions.

  • Publication number: 20240239991
    Abstract: A shaped thermal filler particle has an elongate shape defined by a substantially planar first smooth surface and a second smooth surface that contacts the substantially planar first smooth surface along a planar closed path. The planar closed path has a length to width ratio of at least 1.5. The shaped thermal filler particle has a maximum linear dimension normal to the planar first smooth surface that is less than or equal to one half of the length of the closed path. A thermally conductive composition comprises from 1 to 95 percent by volume of the shaped thermal filler particles dispersed in a binder. An assembly comprises a heat source, a heat sink, and the thermally conductive composition at least partially sandwiched between the heat source and the heat sink.

  • Publication number: 20240157642
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides apparatuses and methods for manufacturing three-dimensional objects. Each additive manufacturing apparatus (1000, 2000, 3000) includes: a) a reservoir (1100, 2100, 3100) for receiving hardenable material; b) a first movable light engine (1200, 2200, 3200) providing a first light radiation configuration; a second light engine (1300, 2300, 3300) providing a second light radiation configuration that is different than the first light radiation configuration; and d) a light altering structure (1400, 2400, 3400). The light altering structure is located between the reservoir and light radiated from at least one of the first movable light engine or the second light engine. The first movable light engine is configured to radiate light onto a first focal plane (2220) within the reservoir containing the hardenable material and the second light engine is configured to radiate light onto a second focal plane (2320) within the reservoir containing the hardenable material.
