Title: Digital sandtray
Inventor: Scott Ian Harber
IPC: G16H20/70
Filed: 2020-05-17
Abstract: A computer program that authentically emulates a physical sandtray and symbols, by facilitating the creation of dioramas, using camera-aligned images as symbols, and the sculpting of digital sand using deformable textured geometry to create still scenes in the tray during a therapy session. Collision testing may be utilised to optimally represent vertices (Fig.2), which can be averaged to support the effect of smoothing sand, and also to automatically control the position of a symbol in its Y axis (Fig.3). The amount of sand may be increased or decreased over time depending on the duration of the users’ input press, and symbol can be moved, rotated or deleted based on user input. Both three-dimensional (3D) models and two-dimensional (2D) camera-aligned images can be utilised. The digital sandtray can be used real time during online sessions or remotely for personal process. The user can also review their work via augmented reality (Fig.4).

Title: Friction stir welding process
Inventor: JONATHAN PETER MARTIN
IPC: B23K20/12
Filed: 2021-01-13
Abstract: In friction stir welding (FSW) a joint, a first pass of a rotating tool can create a first welded region between a plunge point (ENH1, fig 5A) and an exit hole EXH1. The probe 200 may be partially withdrawn, while continually moving, creating a smaller exit point EXH1. A second pass can create a second welded region, having a second exit hole EXH2; whereby the first hole EXH1 is within the second welded region; and the second hole EXH2 is within the first welded region. By progressively withdrawing the weld probe towards the end of a pass, only a shallow exit hole is created. Re-welding a section of under-penetrated weld (where the probe was being withdrawn), e.g. in the opposite direction, e.g. by plunging the probe (at a point ENH2) at or proximal the first small exit hole EXH1, can create a good weld, healing the first exit point EXH1.
