Abstract: A load lock including a substrate support device for supporting a substrate, and an indexer coupled to the substrate support device. The substrate support device may take measurements and acquire data to verify features of the supported substrate and an associated manufacturing system. Substrate features that are measured include, substrate temperature, substrate warping, and a substrate presence, absence, or misplacement on the support device. System features that are measured include system vibrations and substrate transfer mechanism calibration data. The substrate support device sensors and communications circuits can be integrated into the substrate support device, through use of an additive manufacturing process in making the substrate support device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for producing appliances for expansion of the arch of a patient. Methods may include forming a shell from a prepolymer material, the shell including teeth receiving structures configured to receive at least a portion of the patient's teeth. The prepolymer material may be crosslinked to provide a first crosslinked polymer having a first degree of crosslinking. Methods may also include forming a force generating portion connected with the shell. The force generating portion may be configured to span a space between opposing posterior teeth of the patient and to apply an expansion force between the opposing posterior teeth of the patient. The force generating portion may be formed from the same prepolymer material as the shell. Forming the force generating portion may include varying crosslinking to provide a second crosslinked polymer having a second degree of crosslinking that is different than the first degree of crosslinking.

Abstract: Provided is a print head, a system and method for pressure measurements and continuous control of a flowable material in a flow path. The system includes a pressure coupler comprising a body having a channel through the longitudinal center of the body, the channel spanning between a first opening and a second opening. The pressure coupler includes a membrane embedded in the body, wherein the membrane is contiguous with, and forms a region of, the channel. Material flowing through the channel imparts a force on the membrane, and the force is transferred from the membrane to a pressure sensor adjacent to the pressure coupler. The pressure coupler and sensor may be included in a print head, whereby the pressure of a flowable material is measured during dispensing from the print head. The pressure measurements are used for continuous feedback flow control of the flowable material through the flow path.
