Abstract: An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier defining at least one opening, a chamber in fluid communication with the at least one opening, and at least one fluid outlet. The fluid collection assembly also includes at least one porous material (e.g., at least one wicking material) disposed in the chamber. The fluid collection assembly also includes at least one conduit attached to the fluid outlet. Further, the fluid collection assembly includes one or more leak prevention features.

Abstract: An artificial reality (XR) system includes XR controllers and hand gestures and corresponding representation of the hand gestures in XR space. Example implementations allow a user to use controllers for distance interaction and interactions that require controller buttons, but also recognize when the user extends her finger and wants to manually touch things-using touch in conjunction with controllers. Thus, if the user has a controller in her hand and wants to touch a UI element, she can also use her finger. In particular, the system identifies the finger is not touching the controller (e.g., via capacitance sensors) and that a hand pose is present (e.g., finger extended—from camera), thereby processing hand input from the finger without the user having to put down the controller.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to artificial reality (XR) controllers and hand gestures and corresponding representation of the hand gestures in XR space. Users can benefit from being able to use touch interactions while also holding the XR controller. Example implementations allow a user to use controllers for distance interaction and interactions that require controller buttons, but also recognize when the user extends her finger and wants to manually touch things-using touch in conjunction with controllers. Thus, if the user has a controller in her hand and want to touch a UI element, she can also use her finger, where the system identifies the finger not touching the controller (e.g., via capacitance sensors) and that a hand pose is present (e.g., finger extended—from camera) to allow that finger to provide hand input, without the user having to put down the controller.

Abstract: A system for three-dimensional printing is disclosed. The system comprises: a rotary tray configured to rotate about a vertical axis; a printing head, each having a plurality of separated nozzles; and a controller configured for controlling the inkjet printing head to dispense, during the rotation, droplets of building material in layers, such as to print a three-dimensional object on the tray.

Abstract: Systems for providing on-demand cup printing and dispensing for food service are provided herein. A cup dispenser includes a cup source configured to hold a stack of cups and one or more cup-moving elements configured to cause a cup from the stack of cups to move through the cup dispenser. The cup dispenser includes a motor configured to operate the one or more cup-moving elements to cause the cup to move through the cup dispenser along a path. The cup dispenser also includes a printer configured to print at least one of order information or personalization information on the cup that is based on the food service order associated with the cup. The cup dispenser further includes a dispensing section that provides the cup, which includes the at least one of order information or personalization information printed thereon.

Abstract: A method of providing nozzle calibration parameters for a 3D printer comprises: printing an arc pattern, printing an X-Y align pattern, and printing a head calibration pattern, measuring actual positions of drops, calculating deviations of said measured actual positions from expected positions, and calculating calibration parameters to correct for the deviations. Indicator drops may be used to allow built-in image recognition to find the calibration drops, and a cam system is provided to guide nozzle wipers.

Abstract: The present invention provides for manufacturing processes of structuring fabrics that contain a web contacting layer with seams that do not cause defects in the sheet that can result in sheet breaks during the paper machine process. Structuring fabrics with a web contacting layer that can have damaged sections replaced rather than replacing the entire structuring fabric, which is costly and time consuming, are also provided. Additionally, a process for manufacturing the web contacting layer by laying down polymers of specific material properties in an additive manner under computer control (3-D printing) is provided.

Abstract: A system for use in TFL lithotripsy procedures uses a silica trunk fiber semi-permanently mounted in an endoscope and includes a detachable and replaceable wave guide treatment tip, including hollow wave guides and fiber tips. The system provides for ready removal and replacement of wave guides damaged during lithotripsy. The trunk fiber in the endoscope tube is of diameter ?200 ?m, suitable for use in the lower pole of the kidney, and should be useful over-and-over with only the detachable wave guide removed and replaced, whether during a single procedure or for multiple procedures on different patients in which the endoscope tube and trunk fiber are sterilized between patients. Multiple connector assemblies are provided for optical coupling contact between the detachable wave guide and trunk fiber and include a gap for dissipation of heat between the trunk fiber and the wave guide when in optically coupling contact.

Abstract: An optical nerve stimulation system for optically stimulating and locating a nerve, includes: a laser radiation source positioned adjacent to the nerve and configured to deliver laser radiation to the nerve through one or more optical fibers, thereby heating it; wherein the laser radiation source is operated in a continuous-wave mode; and a temperature sensor positioned adjacent to the nerve and a feedback loop configured to control the laser radiation source such that a predetermined temperature is maintained. The laser radiation source is one or more of an infrared laser and a near-infrared laser. Optionally, the laser radiation has a wavelength of between 1400 and 1900 nm. The one or more optical fibers are one or more single-mode fibers. The ONS probe includes one or more SMFs with chemically-etched tips and lenses for providing collimation and/or beam shaping to provide a flat-top spatial beam profile.
