  • Publication number: 20250066525
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, systems, devices, and kits for creating composite materials from a single resin, the composite materials having multiple continuous phases. The disclosure includes a process to three-dimensionally print objects (e.g., orthodontic appliances) with composite properties. In some aspects, the composite properties are formed from a single formulation with components that, when processed, have hard and soft continuous phases. In some aspects, the composite properties are formed by separately processing the hard phase components and the soft phase components. In some aspects, the composite materials and devices are three-dimensionally printed using the processed material.

  • Publication number: 20250059984
    Abstract: Various devices, systems, and methods are described herein that provide bi-directional, and even multi-directional airflow within fan systems. These fan systems can be utilized by devices such as datacenter switches to change from one direction of airflow (such as port side inlet) to another direction (such as port side exhaust). This can be done manually by having a multi-directional fan housed within an enclosure that provides access through a hatch door. The multi-directional fan can be removed and reoriented to a second direction, thus providing airflow with the same quality and pressure in multiple directions. Fan changes can also be automated through one or more interlocking rotational gears coupled to the fans within a housing, such that rotating one gear will rotate each of the fans within the housing, thus changing the direction of the airflow. By doing this, only one fan is needed to provide airflow in multiple directions.

  • Publication number: 20250033988
    Abstract: Preparation of capped metal oxide nanocrystals comprising a metal oxide shell that are photocatalytically and thermally stable and their dispersions in monomers, oligomers, and polymers, as well as the resulting formulations and nanocomposite films. These nanocrystals are highly monodisperse with nanocrystal size between 3-100 n. Resultant formulations incorporating these nanocrystals and a matrix material are highly stable and result in nanocomposites that have high refractive index, are highly transparent, have minimal to no change in absorption upon thermal or UV processing and are optically transparent in the visible wavelengths with very little or no scattering.

  • Publication number: 20250023789
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating a topology of components based on a set of components provided by a user. The system identifies, for each particular component of the first set of components, one or more characteristics. The characteristics may include at least one of: a rule associated with the particular component, a requirement associated with the particular component, a data input type corresponding to the particular component, and data output type corresponding to the particular component. Based on the characteristics, the system determines that an additional component not included in the first set of components is required for connecting the first set of components. The system selects the additional component and determines a topology of components that includes the first set of components and the additional component. The system also determines a dataflow between components in the topology of components.

  • Patent number: 11947739
    Abstract: Method, apparatus, and systems for roll angle estimation for an input/gesture device (IGD) are disclosed. The method includes estimating a first axis vector of the input/gesture device (IGD) relative to the surface of the mobile device (MD), as a first frame of reference, using readings from a first type of sensor; and estimating the first axis vector of the IDG relative to a different, second frame of reference using a gyroscope integration of readings from the 3-axis gyroscope. The method further includes aligning the first axis vector of the IDG in the first frame of reference with the first axis vector of the IDG in the second frame of reference; minimizing a change in the alignment of the first axis vectors between the first frame of reference and the second frame of reference; and determining the roll angle of the IDG relative to the surface of the MD.
