    Abstract: Systems and methods of aligning removable sensors mounted on a vehicle based upon sensor output of such sensors are described. Sensor output is collected from a removable sensor (e.g., a digital camera), and a representation of such sensor output is generated (e.g., a digital image). The representation of the sensor output is compared against a spatial template (e.g., a digital mask overlaid on the representation) to determine whether external references in the representation align with corresponding reference indicators in the spatial template. When alignment is required, the removable sensor is aligned by one or both of the following until the external references in a representation of sensor data at an updated current location align with the corresponding reference indicators in the spatial template: (i) adjusting the position of the removable sensor on the vehicle or (ii) adjusting the representation of the sensor output to simulate such repositioning.

    Abstract: A wire guide and a laser wire-processing device that includes a wire guide are provided. The laser wire-processing device includes a housing and an aperture in a side of the housing, wherein the aperture defines a longitudinal axis that is substantially perpendicular to the aperture. The laser wire-processing device also includes a backstop arranged in the housing and aligned with the longitudinal axis, the backstop defining a wire-contact surface in a facing relationship with the aperture. The laser wire-processing device also includes a wire guide arranged in the housing to manipulate a wire inserted through the aperture into a desired position relative to the longitudinal axis between the aperture and the backstop. The laser wire-processing device also includes a laser operable to direct a laser beam toward an insulation layer of the wire. The wire guide could be a tube arranged in the device or a backstop guide.

    Abstract: A system (100) comprises a delivery guide (112) movable relative to a surface (114). The delivery guide (112) is configured to deposit a continuous flexible line (106) along a print path (122) that is stationary relative to the surface (114). The system (100) further comprises a vessel (236), configured to hold a volume of a liquid photopolymer resin (252) and to apply a quantity of the liquid photopolymer resin (252) to the non-resin component (108) to create the continuous flexible line (106). The system (100) further comprises a feed mechanism (104), configured to pull the non-resin component (108) through the vessel (236) and to push the continuous flexible line (106) out of the delivery guide (112). The system (100) further comprises a source (116) of curing energy (118). The source (116) is configured to deliver the curing energy (118) at least to a portion (124) of the segment (120) of the continuous flexible line (106) after the segment (120) of the continuous flexible line (106) exits the delivery guide (112).
