Abstract: A 3D portal facilitates revision, review, and approval of 3D printable files prior to printing. A collection of one or more 3D printable files of an object to be printed is revised and reviewed until a version of the collection that is not only accurate but optimized for printing, is finalized. Healthcare professional users and application engineer users are able to communicate, collaborate, and plan requirements for the print.

Abstract: A system includes an electrical contactor that is biased to the open circuit position. A latching block includes a latch member operatively connected to a latch actuator. The latch actuator is configured to actuate to a latched position mechanically blocking movement of the electrical contactor from the closed circuit position to the open circuit position, and to an unlatched position allowing free movement of the electrical contactor back and forth between the open and closed positions. The latch member maintains latching of the electrical contactor in the closed circuit position without need for power consumption by the contact actuator or the latch actuator. The latching block includes a power storage for actuating the latch member from the latched position to the unlatched position in the event of loss of line power to prevent unexpected start of a load after line power is restored.

Abstract: Techniques for providing clearance, notification, and selection of use related to certification of 3D anatomical models for pre-surgical planning are provided. In one technique, a collection of sets of one or more files for generating a 3D anatomical model is stored. First input to print a 3D anatomical model based on a set of one or more files in the collection is received from a requester computer. In response to determining that the to-be-printed 3D anatomical model is not associated with a predetermined certification, a user interface is updated to indicate that the 3D anatomical model cannot be used for a diagnostic purpose. Second input that indicates that a user of the requester computer accepts using the 3D anatomical model for only non-diagnostic purposes is received. After receiving the second input, the 3D anatomical model is generated.

Abstract: Techniques for printing 3D anatomical models for diagnostic and/or non-diagnostic uses are provided. In one technique, a computing system (e.g., a 3D print portal) receives a first API call from a requester system via one or more APIs. The first API call indicates that a requester system has saved 3D printable files in a data repository. In response to receiving the first API call, the computing system sends, to the requester system, a user information form to initiate a production ordering process of printing the 3D printable files.

Abstract: Patient-specific 3D complex coils and methods of making and using such coils, including custom fixtures for the manufacture of such coils. Such patient-specific 3D complex coils improve treatment outcomes for cerebral aneurysm repair. The aneurysm may be an aneurysm in a specific patient and/or population of patients having a similar aneurysm shape and size.

Abstract: An active scanning collision avoidance system for vehicles and the like. In one embodiment, an active scanning radar module is affixed to a vehicle's roof. A microwave transmitter sends out a signal to a directional antenna or array directed outwards radially away from the radar assembly. When this transmitted signal is reflected off another vehicle or object, it is received by a second directional antenna or array. This return signal is mixed internally with the transmitted signal, and the resulting signal is amplified and processed so that distance, velocity and object size can be determined. These object attributes are transmitted to an in-vehicle display in real time for quick and informed decision-making for the driver.

Abstract: A grow light fixture that may be used for the replacement of high intensity discharge (HID) lamp fixtures used for growing plants includes a housing containing a plurality of both red and blue high power LEDs mounted to a circuit board, and powered by an onboard power supply. Control circuitry may include separate, infinitely variable controls to enable independent adjustment of the red and blue LED light output. A plurality of thermal vias made of copper or other thermally conductive material extend through the circuit board to conduct heat from the LEDs to a heat sink mounted on the back of the circuit board, and a fan may be used to vent the heat to the outside of the housing. The housing is mounted an appropriate distance above a plant in a growth media to provide user-controlled lighting for enhanced plant growth.
