A second member extends between the front and the back and is adjustable via an actuation of a second rotatable actuator and a second cabling mechanism. A third member extends between the front and the back and is adjustable via the actuation of the second rotatable actuator and a third cabling mechanism.

Abstract: A dispenser of barrier envelopes is formed of a pair of selectively interlocking open-top box-like structures. When interlocked, the pair of structures forms an interior chamber that is configured to store and protect one or more barrier envelopes inside from external contaminants such as viruses, bacteria and/or fungi. The dispenser of barrier envelopes includes a through opening for the purpose of dispensing the one or more envelopes to a user, and a spring in its interior chamber for directing the one or more envelopes toward the through opening.

Abstract: According to one aspect, there is provided apparatus for forming a layer of build material for three-dimensional printing. The apparatus comprises a spreader to spread a volume of build material to form a layer of build material on a build platform, wherein at least one end of the spreader is to remain a constant distance from a build material retaining wall in proximity to at least one edge of the build platform as the spreader is moved over the surface of the build platform, and further wherein at least a portion of the spreader is below the top of the retaining wall.

Abstract: In one example, a lighting assembly includes a housing to hold an elongated lamp and an elongated device attached to or integral with the housing and configured to, when an lamp is held in the housing, convert light from the lamp having a first irradiance that is non-uniform along a length into light having a second irradiance that is uniform along the length.

Abstract: A printer including a print bar and a dryer system. The print bar operates to deposit printing material in accordance with a print job. The dryer system operates to intake and heat air from an internal region in which one or more electrical components of the printer are located. The dryer system directs the heated air through multiple outlets that are acutely angled with respect to a location or media of deposited printing material, to dry the printing material while cooling the internal region of the printer.

Abstract: In one example, a reflector assembly includes a single reflector having at least two elliptical-shaped reflector cavities each with a respective focus point. The shape of the single reflector includes two partial elliptical-shaped reflector cavities having mirror-asymmetric profiles on each end of the single reflector each having a first side extending to a distal end and the first side longer than an opposite second side. The remaining elliptical-shaped reflector cavities have a first side and a second side the same length as the opposite second sides of the two partial elliptical-shaped reflector cavities.

Abstract: A fan includes: a housing; and an impeller with an axis and a plurality of blades, the impeller mounted inside the housing; and a plurality of outlets from the housing, each outlet including a cutoff with a top and a bottom. A line between the top and bottom of each cutoff is not parallel to the axis of the impeller.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a reflector having a parabolic shape, the reflector having a focal point and a plane of symmetry. The apparatus may also include a first energy emitter positioned at or near the focal point of the reflector, in which the reflector may reflect energy emitted from the first energy emitter in a first direction to a target area. The apparatus may further include a baffle extending along the plane of symmetry of the reflector, in which the baffle may absorb reflected energy directed to the baffle from the target area.

Abstract: A power control system enables an electrical apparatus to intermittently operate at power levels which exceed an available facility power. The power control system draws a sufficiently high current from a power source (e.g., mains supply) to supply power to components of the apparatus that generate a continuous below-threshold load, while at the same time, supplying a charge current for a battery module. The power control system can operate to use the battery module to supply power to components of the apparatus that draw excess power when the electrical apparatus operates at an above-threshold power level.

Abstract: A convection system includes a housing, a chimney defined in the housing to pass fluid into and out of the housing, and a fan rotatably coupled to the housing to create a pressure differential within the housing to pass the fluid into the housing. The convection system also includes a heating element located in juxtaposition to the fan to heat the fluid passed into the housing via the chimney, and a thermal fuse located at an orifice of the chimney between the chimney and the heating element. In response to a failure of the fan, heated fluid from the heating element converts through the chimney past the thermal fuse. The convection of the heated fluid increases a rate of heat transfer to the thermal fuse.
