Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing printing circuit boards is provided. The apparatus includes a microcontroller, power supply, two-dimensional stage, laser, and one or more chemical treatment tanks. The apparatus may include a mutlifunctional print module, or multiple independent tool modules capable of being exchanged, to perform various different processes on a substrate on the same build plate, and may include mechanical means for transporting the substrate during different stages between the build plate, chemical processing chamber(s), and a pressing chamber. A rapid, auto-calibrating loading system may be provided for the independent tool modules, and a camera provided for an optical registration operation.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for estimating orientation and position of surgical instrumentation or tools relative to a patient's bone structure. The system and/or method may include registering an axis and/or plane associated with a patient's bone. The system and/or method may further include receiving, from magnetic and orientation sensors, information indicative of orientation and position of the surgical instrument or tool relative to the registered axis and/or plane.
