Abstract: A printer is configured for printing with conductive ink for applying a conductive pattern to a surface including a wheeling structure for moving the printer over the surface and a transfer unit for applying a layer of electrically conductive ink to the surface. To provide accurate printing with the ability to obtain fine tolerances, the transfer unit has a printing drum rotatable about a printing drum axis and defining a printing drum periphery moving between a first zone and a second zone by rotation of the printing drum. The printing drum periphery, in the first zone, receives the conductive ink and in the second zone transfers the ink to the surface.

Abstract: Methods and systems for imaging a target. In some examples, a system includes an optical modulator configured for applying, at each time of an exposure window, a respective optical modulation pattern to a received image of the target to output a modulated image. The system includes a camera configured for capturing a single image frame for the exposure window by receiving, at each of time, the modulated image of the target. The system includes a demodulator implemented on a computer system and configured for demodulating the single image frame based on the optical modulation patterns to recover a number of recovered image frames each depicting the target at a respective recovered time within the exposure window.
