Abstract: A wide 3D printer extruder nozzle. The invention provides for a faster way of 3D printing a part, especially a large, solid object using FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling).  It consists of a wide extrusion nozzle which has an array of linear solenoids on both sides of the nozzle along its bottom (just above the work area). These solenoids can be independently activated to move forward into the path of the extrusion filament. This will prevent the filament from being deposited onto the build surface in that specific area, but allowing the filament to be deposited in other areas along the width of the extruder. Any combination of the linear solenoids can be moved forward or back allowing any combination of filament from the wide extruder to be deposited onto the build surface. This will allow for the simultaneous build of a variety of features along the entire axis of the extruder.

Title: Methods and systems relating to time location based employee management systems
Inventor: EGGLESTON YVES
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2014-10-22
Abstract: Tracking workers' time has been a necessity since workers began working on an hourly basis, businesses charged on an hourly basis, and businesses tracked labour costs on an hourly basis. However, today, employees, contractors, temporary staff etc. perform multiple tasks on multiple projects each day and may perform them in different locations. As such, for the supervisory role within a business it becomes extremely difficult to verify that a particular individual did actually perform the task they say they did and took the length of time that they say they did or were where they were supposed to be for the allotted time(s). Accordingly, there is a need for a time and location tracking system that addresses these issues by automatically leveraging user location relative to geo-fences established in relation to specific worksites.
