  • Publication number: 20240108994
    Abstract: A printing system includes: a plurality of unitary objects each having a unique identification code, a plurality of fixtures arranged on a base, and a printer controller. Each unitary object includes a uniquely-shaped three-dimensional body fixed to a plate by a connection mechanism. Each fixture includes: a fixture block defining a printing opening; and a plate guide defined in the fixture block and configured to receive the plate. A target region of the three-dimensional body is aligned within the printing opening of the fixture block when the plate is fixed within the plate guide. The printer controller is configured to: detect the unique identification code of each unitary object; and control an ink dispenser to print a unique topographical design on each aligned target region of each three-dimensional body, the unique topographical design being associated with the detected unique identification code.

  • Patent number: 11850131
    Abstract: A personal hygiene product with a digital element includes an external personal hygiene product to absorb bodily fluids and a conductive sensor assembly disposed therein. The conductive sensor assembly includes a pair of conductive elements disposed in parallel in a mirrored image about the perimeter of the personal hygiene product and at least one connector directly contacting the pair of conductive elements, said conductive sensor assembly generating a signal indicative of fluid leakage of said personal hygiene product when fluid reaches the area between the pair of conductive elements. The conductive sensor assembly is arranged and configured to communicate with a smart hand held electronic device, either directly or through a wireless connection.

  • Patent number: 10429014
    Abstract: A lighting system for surface inspection includes an elongated substrate onto which a linear array of lights is mounted to provide extended light coverage. The lights may be dimmable and controlled by a circuit board to reduce veiling glare. A heat sink may disperse heat built up from the linear array of lights. A handle and articulated drop-in pin may provide means to focus all the lights in the same direction and point the lights onto a surface using a single hand or during hands-free use.
