Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for detecting and compensating for an anomaly in three-dimensional object fabrication. A wall thickness computation component computes a wall thickness of a three-dimensional object to be fabricated. An edge map generation component generates an edge map for one or more portions of the three-dimensional object to be fabricated satisfying one or more wall thickness criteria. The wall thickness criteria includes, for example, a computed wall thickness less than an extrusion width of a fabrication apparatus, a computed wall thickness greater than an extrusion width and less than twice the extrusion width and/or a computed wall thickness not an integer multiple of the extrusion width. A tool path generation component generates a tool path based on the generated edge map.

Abstract: One embodiment relates to testing and verifying vibrator motor operation during manufacturing of a device and during in-the-field use. The test relies on an integrated motion sensor or other mechanical measurement circuitry, such as, for example, an accelerometer. In one embodiment, a speed determination for a vibrator motor performance during initial manufacture of the device. Subsequently, when vibration is detected during the in-the-field use, the vibration may be sampled using the integrated mechanical measurement circuitry. Once sampled, a speed may be determined based on a resonance of the sampled signal. Over time, the various speed determinations for the vibrator motor may be analyzed to determine an overall health of the vibrator motor. A threshold for detecting when the overall health of the vibration motor over time has degraded may be predetermined. A notification of a degradation of vibrator motor performance is sent to either a manufacturer or user of the mobile communications device.
