  • Adding a segment of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic filament in a curve
    Patent number: 11135786
    Abstract: In additive manufacturing, a method of adding a segment of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic filament. Adding a segment of filament involves three tasks: (1) determining where the segment of filament should be added, (2) depositing the segment of filament at the desired location, and (3) tamping the segment of filament to ensure adhesion and eliminate voids. Tamping the segment of filament is performed by steering a wheel along the filament. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, the wheel is steered around a yaw axis that is offset from the wheel's axis by a distance s, where s is a positive real number.

  • INTERFACE INCLUDING GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION OF RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SEARCH RESULTS
    Publication number: 20210303559
    Abstract: A multi-dimensional graphic user interface displays selected types of information regarding items included in one or more databases or returned by a search in accordance with locations on a two-dimensional display area or projection of a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional area and provides for selective display of information about respective items in a database (e.g. metadata) as additional dimensions of the display which may be suppressed and/or selectively introduced to avoid user distraction or obscuring information or for comparison between screens which may indicate to a user the degree to which a particular item may or may not be germane to an issue or particular subject matter of interest. The graphic user interface thus provides an effective tool for evaluating search results and organizing detailed review thereof.

    Publication number: 20210252670
    Abstract: A metering valve for introducing media into a pressurized fluid including media passaging extending through a housing. A plunger is movable between a closed position in which the plunger prevents flow of media in the media passaging and an open position in which the plunger permits flow of media in the media passaging. The plunger moving a distance between the open and closed positions. A plunger adjuster sets the distance by operatively bracing the plunger to limit movement of the plunger and changes the distance to adjust an amount of media flow permitted in the media passaging by the plunger. The plunger adjuster including an actuator to be actuated to change the distance. A bearing is operatively disposed between the actuator and the plunger and permits the actuator to be actuated to change the distance when the plunger is in the open position and operatively braced by the plunger adjuster.

  • Skilled nursing facility patient triage system
    Patent number: 10950350
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system for facilitating computer-assisted care for patients, including, for example, skilled nursing facility (SNF) patients at risk of clinical deterioration and/or in need of medical intervention relative to a larger SNF patient population. In some embodiments, the system determines care information scores for SNF patients using a first set of severity weights associated with individual components of the care information. The system determines SNF enhancement scores for the individual patients using a second set of severity weights associated with individual components of collected SNF enhancement information, wherein the second set of severity weights are heavier than the first set of severity weights such that the enhancement scores are weighted more heavily than the care information scores.
