Abstract: A three-dimensional printing materials system and method can produce both appearance models and small numbers of functional parts in an office environment. The method can include building cross-sectional portions of a three-dimensional article, and assembling the individual cross-sectional areas in a layer-wise fashion to form a final article. The individual cross-sectional areas can be built by using an ink-jet printhead to deliver an aqueous solvent or binder to an adhesive particulate mixture, causing the particles of the mixture to adhere together, and to previous cross-sectional areas. The binder can include at least one of nonaqueous organic monomeric compound, anionically ionizable polymer, cationic polymer, polymer, waterborne colloid, or inorganic solute.

Abstract: A positioning device, such as a pan & tilt device, includes a housing having a drivetrain and one or more removable mounts positioned on the housing. An accessory, such as a camera, may be positioned on or in the removable mount and a release joins the removable mount to the housing for “plug and play” adaptation of the accessory to the positioning device.

Abstract: An embedded megamodule and an embedded CPU enable power-saving through a combination of hardware and software. The CPU configures the power-down controller (PDC) logic within megamodule and can software trigger a low-power state of logic blocks and memory during processor IDLE periods. To wake from this power-down state, a system event is asserted to the CPU through the module interrupt controller. Thus the entry into a low-power state is software-driven during periods of inactivity and power restoration is on system activity that demands the attention of the CPU.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for synthesizing the trans isomer of capsaicin and/or capsaicin-like compounds by utilizing a process wherein the trans geometry is set from the beginning of the synthesis reaction and carried through the entire synthesis process.

Abstract: A terminus for a fiber optic cable includes a ferrule. An optic fiber of the cable passes through a central bore of the ferrule and is attached to a lens seated in a conical or cylindrical seat formed in an end surface of the ferrule by an epoxy. Preferably, the seat permits the lens to be recessed below the end surface of the ferrule. An inspection slot may be formed through the seat to allow a technician to inspect the state of the epoxy attachment. The ferrule may also include retaining features, such as an o-ring encircling a groove in the outer circumference of the ferrule or a metal sleeve crimped or otherwise attached to the ferrule to permit the ferrule to be easily attached to a cable retention sleeve, connector body or similar structure.

Abstract: A layered group III-nitride article includes a single crystal silicon substrate, and a highly textured group III-nitride layer, such as GaN, disposed on the silicon substrate. The highly textured group III-nitride layer is crack free and has a thickness of at least 10 ?m. A method for forming highly textured group III-nitride layers includes the steps of providing a single crystal silicon comprising substrate, depositing a nanostructured InxGa1-xN (1?x?0) interlayer on the silicon substrate, and depositing a highly textured group III-nitride layer on the interlayer. The interlayer has a nano indentation hardness that is less than both the silicon substrate and the highly textured group III-nitride layer.
