Abstract: In an example, an apparatus includes processing circuitry comprising a model assessment module to identify an indication of a conductive element within object model data representing an object to be printed and a print instruction module to generate print instructions to generate the object. The print instructions may include an instruction to print conductive agent to form the conductive element and an instruction to print a fusing agent comprising an instruction to reduce an amount of fusing agent to be printed in a region of the conductive element compared to at least one other region of the object.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a protective covering, which includes a cover portion, an elongated piece of fabric, a first coupling mechanism, and a weighted fixture. The cover portion is for a seat cushion. The elongated piece of fabric extends from the cover portion. The first coupling mechanism couples the cover portion to a first end of the elongated piece of fabric. The weighted fixture facilitates securing the elongated piece of fabric in place over the cover portion using gravity.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for remote testing of printing devices. A printing device includes a browser that is configured to establish a remote connection with a network site maintained by a manufacturer of the printing device. Once a connection is established, the printing device requests that a test be performed. A test program at the manufacturer site downloads a print test in the native language of the printing device. If the print test fails, more complete diagnostics are run. A printing device user is informed of the result. A user can determine if the printing device is operational without first installing a software driver or making connections to a host. Operational problems are, therefore, more easily isolated and resolved.

Abstract: A method and system for providing entitlement information to a printing device or a scanning device are described. The system includes a device, a device workstation, which in an implementation is a constituent of the device, and a server. The server maintains a database of updated device entitlement information associated with the device. The workstation requests updated entitlement information for the device from the server, and the server in response downloads this information to the workstation. The workstation downloads the updated entitlement information to a device database. In embodiments, both the device and the workstation provide notification to a user of updated entitlement information, and display updated entitlement information to the user.

Abstract: An adapter for modifying a spring clamp for use as an edge clamp. The adapter is essentially a flexible intermediate section with pockets attached at each end. Each pocket slips over one of the jaws of the spring clamp. When the clamp is forced open, the intermediate section extends from jaw to jaw across the jaw cavity of the clamp. When the clamp is placed over a workpiece, the intermediate section of the adapter deforms elastically around the contour of the workpiece that extends into the jaw cavity. The edge clamp exerts an edge-clamping force against the workpiece in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the clamping forces exerted by the jaws and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the spring clamp.

Abstract: A device for one-handed generation of alpha-numeric characters in an alpha or numeric mode including letters, numerals, punctuation marks and mathematical function symbols is provided, comprising a finger key section comprising a first array of four finger keys and a second array of four finger keys, respective keys of said first and second arrays arranged in adjacent pairs, said finger keys each operable individually to generate a single character at a time, said first array of finger keys in an alpha mode assigned to the generation of all of the consonants and said second array of finger keys in an alpha mode being assigned to the generation of all of the vowels, one of said arrays in a numeric mode being assigned to the generation of numerals and mathematical symbols, a thumb key section comprising at least one array of four thumb keys, said thumb keys of said array in an alpha mode assigning said first array of finger keys to the generation of consonants and in a numeric mode assigning to one of said arra
