Abstract: A smoke detector includes a tamper indicator that can prevent a cover from at least partially covering a battery location and/or mounting of a detector body to a detector mount if a battery is not located at the battery location of the detector body. The detector mount and/or cover can engage with the detector body by relative rotation about an engagement axis, and the tamper indicator can pivot about a pivot axis that is parallel to the engagement axis and/or move along a linear path. The tamper indicator can prevent engagement of a portion of the detector mount, such as an intermediate component between the detector body and a base of the detector mount, with the detector body. The intermediate component can at least partially cover the battery location when engaged with the detector body. The base of the detector mount can engage with the detector body via the intermediate component.

Abstract: A projector or system for assisting in a removal of 3D printed molds from a print chamber. The projector is operative to receive a file in a format compatible for a 3D printer. The projector further receives input corresponding to a location of the prototype contained in a powder box and input corresponding to a profile of powder contained across a surface of the associated powder box. Using the location, a portion of the prototype located immediately beneath a surface of powder in the powder box is determined. A distance of the portion to a selected region of the top surface is also determined. A cue is generated based on the distance. The projector generates an image of the extracted layer and projects the image onto the surface of the associated powder box. The image comprises at least one color coded region within a proximity of the portion, where a color of the color coded region is based on the cue.

Abstract: A syringe for dispensing liquid materials to a substrate. In one embodiment, the syringe includes a barrel having a first end, a second end, and an interior reservoir. A piston is slidably disposed within the reservoir and is movable to increase or decrease a volume of the interior reservoir near the first end of the barrel. At least a portion of at least one of the barrel, the piston, or the dispensing tip comprises a material selected to maintain operative structural integrity of the dispensing syringe at elevated temperatures.
