  • Publication number: 20240130576
    Abstract: A device includes a central body having an array of scrubbing features that extend away from a first surface of the central body. The array of scrubbing features is arranged in wave-shaped pathways extending radially from a first end of the pathways at an interior of the central body toward a second end of the pathways at a periphery of the central body. The array of scrubbing features includes a first set of scrubbing features extending a first height away from the first surface and a second set of scrubbing features extending a second height away from the first surface. The device has a unitary structure made of silicone and infused with an antimicrobial agent. The device is configured to be more durable and have a longer use time than conventional bath and shower devices thereby mitigating climate change.

  • Publication number: 20240092025
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method of determining the fill level of a resin pool in a bottom-up additive manufacturing apparatus includes the steps of: (a) providing an additive manufacturing apparatus including a build platform and a light transmissive window, the build platform and the window defining a build region there between, with the window carrying a resin pool, the pool having a resin top surface portion; (b) advancing the build platform and the window towards one another until the build platform contacts the resin top surface portion; (c) detecting the impact of the build platform with the resin top surface portion; and (d) determining the fill level of the resin pool from the detected impact.

  • Publication number: 20200097912
    Abstract: Techniques of selective surfacing email messages in computing systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes calculating an importance value corresponding to an incoming email based on one or more values of attributes of the incoming email and corresponding contribution values of the features toward the importance value. The method can then include performing a comparison between the calculated importance value of the incoming email and a preset importance threshold and, based on the performed comparison, selectively surfacing the incoming email to the user in a first section of an email inbox irrespective of a date/time of reception of the incoming email relative to other emails in the inbox.
