Publication number: 20230339178Abstract: An extrusion printer including a print head module is described. The print head module is arranged for cooperating with at least one further print head module in a stackable arrangement to form an extrusion print head. The print head module includes a casing having a first outlet channel defining a first nozzle for printing a first material, and a first inlet for receiving the first material from a first supply line including a first material supply. The casing defines a first pump chamber connected to the first outlet channel and the first inlet. The module further includes a first gear pump having two meshing gears arranged within the first pump chamber. A first meshing gear of the two meshing gears of the first pump is arranged for being actuated by a first actuator axle that extends through the stackable arrangement.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2021Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Andries RIJFERS, Leonardus Antonius Maria BROUWERS, Godefridus Hendrikus Willebrordus VERHOEVEN, Marcus Benedictus HOPPENBROUWERS

Patent number: 9687712Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for providing feedback to a user on his or her running style or running technique. The system employs a pressure sensitive surface to record a gait line of the center of pressure exerted by the user's foot on an underlying surface during a footstep period. In case of a fore or mid-foot landing the gait line may be observed to move backwards with respect to the sagittal plane. From a backwards-going gait line two time stamps are determined. The first timestamp T1 is the time that the foot strikes the ground. The second timestamp T2 is the time that the gait line reaches the most backward position. From the time difference between these two timestamps a loading time dT is determined. The reactivity of the running style describes the viscoelastic behavior of the muscle-tendon unit and may be calculated as a function of this loading time and/or the distance moved by the center of pressure backwards towards the heel.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2012Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Nederlandse Organisatie voor toegepast-naturrweten schappelijk onderzoek TNOInventors: Andrew Statham, Marcus Benedictus Hoppenbrouwers

Patent number: 8909500Abstract: Method and system for measuring an angle between a first member and a second member under dynamic conditions is provided. A first and second acceleration sensor and an angle measuring device (goniometer) are connected to the first and second member. Under dynamic and static conditions, the angle (?) is measured by the goniometer. Under static conditions, the inclination angle of the first member is measured using the first acceleration sensor and the inclination angle of the second member using the second acceleration sensor and the angle (??) between the first and second members is calculated. Then the deviation is calculated between the angle (?) and the angle (??). An error correction factor is calculated from the deviation between both angles (?,??). The error correction factor is applied to future and/or previous measurements of the angle (?) between the first and second member done by the goniometer.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2008Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Nederlandse Organisatie voor toegepast-natuurwetenschappelijk onderzoek TNOInventors: Ralf Guillaume Jean Catharina Heijkants, Caroline van der Horst, Merijn Wijnen, Marcus Benedictus Hoppenbrouwers
