Abstract: Augmented three-dimensional (3D) printing systems and methods for constructing and mineralizing a hydrogel structure with defined geometry are disclosed. One example embodiment is a system for three-dimensional printing and mineralizing a polymer. The system includes a three-dimensional printer unit with a syringe extruder, a fluid delivery system operatively coupled to the three-dimensional printer unit, and a control unit. The control unit is operatively coupled to the three-dimensional printer unit and fluid delivery system, and is configured to (i) cause the three-dimensional printer unit to print a portion of a three-dimensional polymer object, (ii) cause the fluid delivery system to flush the portion of the three-dimensional polymer object with a fluid to mineralize the portion of the three-dimensional polymer object, and (iii) cause the three-dimensional printer unit to print a subsequent portion of the three-dimensional polymer object.

Abstract: A wearable interface device, such as a head-mounted display, provides an augmented reality and/or display system and may be used in accordance with medical devices and the performance of medical treatments, particularly a dialysis machine and a dialysis treatment. The wearable interface device may be worn by a user, such as a health care practitioner (HCP), in connection with remotely monitoring and/or controlling the dialysis machine during the dialysis treatment. The HCP may receive alerts and/or other information concerning the dialysis treatment from the dialysis machine that are displayed on the wearable interface device and may use the wearable interface device to control the dialysis machine via the exchange of wireless signals with the dialysis machine. The wearable interface device may recognize commands from the HCP, such as gestures, to provide non-contact operation of the wearable interface device and remote control of the dialysis machine by the HCP.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wetness detector system that rapidly detects the presence of wetness due to a liquid leak in a system. The wetness detector system contains a reusable wetness sensor that is able to accurately detect the presence of wetness and, in the case of an extracorporeal blood treatment, the presence of blood. The wetness detector system can quickly alert both a user and medical personnel that a liquid leak has been detected in a treatment system and, if necessary, halt the removal of liquids and/or blood from the patient. If a liquid leak is not detected for a period of time, the wetness sensor can enter a low power state, extending the life of the device. The wetness detector system can monitor a number of wetness sensors simultaneously, which would, for example, eliminate the need for medical personnel to continuously inspect numerous patients visually for potentially fatal blood leaks due to needle dislodgement during an extracorporeal blood treatment.

Abstract: A method, computer readable medium and system are provided which generate a model driven form user interface to represent an application model. The method includes selecting which of multiple different logical form types to use to generate the form user interface to represent the application model. The method also includes providing a first map. A display target independent logical form is generated using the application model, the selected form type and the first map.

Abstract: A method, computer readable medium and system are provided which generate a model driven form user interface. In accordance with the method, a data model is mapped to a user interface model using at least one declarative map. The one or more declarative maps used to map the data model to the user interface model can be explicit maps which are external to a mapping engine used to generate the user interface model and any intermediate models.

Abstract: A method, computer readable medium and system are provided which implement a change in a specialized model. In the method, a change made by a user to an instance of the specialized model is detected. A potential revision, to at least one of a master model and a map used to generate the specialized model, is identified based upon the detected change. The potential revision is suggested to the user, and is automatically made if the user instructs.

Abstract: An improved safety helmet with an embedded lock, and a cable, the cable having a fixed end attached to the helmet and a retractable end which may be secured by the lock. When not in use, the cable is locked and stored in the groove in the brim of the helmet. The helmet also has pegs which function to retain the cable within the groove while it is being stored.

Abstract: A box-like container for storing spools of fishing line, in which replacement fishing line is readily unwound in a selected length through a cooperating dispensing opening in the container wall. Unwinding rotation of the spool is achieved by journalling the spool on an axle mounted centrally across the storage compartment of the container. One end support for the axle is a closure member which is force fit over a side access opening into the storage compartment, said force fit being established with a portion of the container wall extending beyond the end member and, as such, functioning as a gripping lip.
