Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of performing a simulation of a medical procedure. A physical model of an anatomical structure and of a medical tool may be provided. 3D digital models of the anatomical structure and medical tool may be provided. A location parameter related to a location of the physical medical tool with respect to the physical model of the anatomical structure may be received. The 3D models of the anatomical structure and medical tool may be manipulated according to the location parameter.

Abstract: A method of printing, comprising: a) developing a latent image on a photosensitive surface with a visible toner, thereby producing a visible toner image; b) transferring the visible toner image to a surface of an intermediate transfer member; c) applying a layer of an adhesive material over at least a portion of the visible toner on the intermediate transfer member, but substantially not to any part of the surface of the intermediate transfer member which is not covered with the visible toner; and d) transferring the visible toner image and the layer of adhesive material from the intermediate transfer member to a printing medium, thereby causing the visible toner to adhere better to the printing medium than it would without the layer of adhesive material, wherein the adhesive material has a stronger adhesion to the printing medium than the visible toner.
