Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing a formable material having at least first and second relatively repositionable units. The first unit has a sheet die, with the second unit having a rotary drum with a peripheral forming surface for receiving flowable material from the sheet die. The first and second units can be selectively changed between an operating relationship and a setup relationship, with the latter causing at least one space to be defined/enlarged and within which an operator can maneuver to gain access to a region of at least one of the first and second units. With the first and second units in the operating relationship, moldable sheets can be processed by causing the moldable sheets to be applied, and conformed, to the peripheral forming surface on the rotary drum.

Abstract: An ultrasonic surgical tool system for actuating a handpiece with a tip. The frequency of the drive signal applied to the handpiece drivers is a function of the equivalent of current through the mechanical components of the handpiece and tip and the frequency responsiveness of these components.

Abstract: A barricade includes a foundation frame, a finger wedge barrier, a hinge hingedly coupling the finger wedge barrier to the foundation frame, and an actuator mechanism coupled to the foundation frame and the finger wedge barrier. The finger wedge barrier is configured to rotate about the hinge between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration, and the actuator mechanism is configured to rotate the finger wedge barrier between the stowed configuration and the deployed configuration.

Abstract: A carrier of a spacecraft can include multiple latch assemblies that are linked together and held in place by one notched bolt or main shaft, which is out of the main load path. The latch assemblies secure the payload (e.g., CubeSat device) within a carrier by interfacing with pin assemblies on the payload. To deploy the payload, the shape memory alloy actuator is fired which causes a series of springs and preload forces to rotate latches of the latch assemblies out of the path of the pin assemblies. Once the latches are out of the way, the payload is deployed by a spring-loaded pusher assembly and guided through deployment using rollers. Each latch assembly is preloaded in tension using a corresponding preload lug of a receiver assembly.

Abstract: A network computer provides interactive graphic design system instructions for execution at a user computing device. The user computing device receives main workspace data describing a main design interface, renders the main design interface, and provides an input interface for the user. The user computing device interprets a branch input action by the user to create a branch from the main design interface, obtains branch workspace data for a branch design interface generated based on the main workspace data, interprets one or more change input actions to the branch design interface, and updates the branch workspace data. The user computing device obtains a set of differences between the branch design interface and the main design interface identified based on the main workspace data and the branch workspace data, and renders a review interface. The review interface includes a visual representation of at least one difference.
