Abstract: A foreign object debris (FOD) collection drill attachment for attaching to a drill includes with a drill guide bushing holder, a chip breaker bushing, an air supply line, a chip evacuation line, a chip collection hopper, and an air manifold. The drill guide bushing holder includes an inlet channel receiving air from the air supply line, an outlet channel, and a holder center channel. The inlet channel and the outlet channel each open into the holder center channel through which an end protrusion of the chip breaker bushing extends to break up FOD on a drill bit of the drill. The cross-sectional area of the inlet channel is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the outlet channel, creating a Venturi effect between the inlet channel and the outlet channel to pull FOD away from the drill bit and through the chip evacuation line to the chip collection hopper.

Abstract: Systems and methods may use a mobile device communicatively coupled to a wearable device to present an exercise to a user.

A method may include receiving a control command from a wearable device communicatively coupled to a mobile device, the control command causing an action to be taken by the mobile device related to the exercise. The therapy calendar may be automatically modified, such as in response to determining a number of repetitions or a duration of an exercise. The modified therapy calendar may be presented on a user interface, such as on a display of the wearable device or the mobile device.

Abstract: Techniques for determining print quality for a 3D printer are disclosed. An example method includes obtaining an image of a stream of material jetted from a nozzle of the 3D printer, and binarizing the image to distinguish background features from foreground features contained in the image. The method also includes identifying elements of jetted material in the foreground features, and computing statistical data characterizing the identified elements. The method also includes generating a quality score of jetting quality based on the statistical data and controlling the 3D printer based on the quality score. The quality score indicates a degree to which the elements of jetted material form droplets of a same size, shape, alignment, and jetting frequency.

Abstract: A decoder includes a feature extraction circuit for calculating one or more feature vectors. An acoustic model circuit is coupled to receive one or more feature vectors from and assign one or more likelihood values to the one or more feature vectors. A memory architecture that utilizes on-chip state lattices and an off-chip memory for storing states of transition of the decoder is used to reduce reading and writing to the off-chip memory. The on-chip state lattice is populated with at least one of the states of transition stored in the off-chip memory. An on-chip word is generated from a snapshot from the on-chip state lattice. The on-chip state lattice and the on-chip word lattice act as an on-chip cache to reduce reading and writing to the off-chip memory.
