A manufacturing process converts a standard flat belt conveyor belt into a new, positively driven, pitch differential belt. A strip of thermoplastic material having a physical characteristic, such as melting temperature, that differs from the physical characteristic of the thermoplastic material comprising the conveyor belt, is applied to the drive side of a commercially available conveyor belt and machined to create a plurality of teeth, or drive bars, of any desired geometry that is configured to engage with the with sprockets or drums of the drive mechanism on the conveyor. The strip and / or drive bars can also be made by additive manufacturing, such as by 3D printing. Two ends of the resulting belt segment are cut to length and spliced, preferably with finger joints, to make a continuous loop using an industry standard hot-plate vulcanizer with a custom fitting called an alignment mold. The melting temperature of the belt and the strip / teeth are chosen to be far enough apart so that the belt may be spliced without melting the teeth. The alignment mold is a silicon pad that has recesses shaped to conform to the geometry / pitch of teeth so that the teeth retain their integrity and shape during the splicing process.

The present invention relates to a modular build system featuring interlocking beams and joints, thereby facilitating flexible design and assembly of various structures. The beam includes fastener tracks, pins and fastener cavities and utility channels on their longitudinal faces, allowing for a secure connection. The fastener rail can be a dovetail rail, a T-slot rail, a V-slot rail, or a miter rail channel. The beams can be made of materials such as aluminum, wood, stainless steel, and extruded polymers, and have dimensions such as 2 x 2 inches or 5 x 5 inches. The system supports secondary beams and accessories, thereby enhancing functionality and aesthetics. The joint allows dimensional transitions between the beams. The system is easy to assemble, disassemble and reconfigure, thereby supporting a variety of applications, including residential, retail and industrial uses. Auxiliary components such as drawers and electrical accessories can be integrated. Cables or hoses can be laid out through center holes in the beams. The system is compatible with cloud-based CAD software to implement virtual designs, allowing users to create, share, and modify designs under the support of AI optimization. The invention also supports 3D printed custom accessories and leveling supports for uneven surfaces.

The Custom Fitting Stringed Instrument Pick (pick) provides a fast, comfortable, and effective way to mimic the natural fingernails many musicians cannot maintain in order to pluck the strings of a musical instrument as desired and on a regular basis. Said pick also provides a novel means to secure to a finger or thumb of the musician's hand. Instead of the traditional means of securing, the present invention snugly wraps around said finger or thumb and gently presses simultaneously downwards from the nail side of the digit and upwards from the fleshy underside of the digit tip. This not only allows said pick to be tightly secured to the digit but distributes the pressure on the digit in an even way. It also allows for inter-digit tactical feel that provides feedback to the player over time and permits easier execution of fast and difficult musical passages. Said pick is also capable of being custom fit to suit the contours, geometry, and size of a player's fingers and thumb.

This invention discloses a compatible fixing device and power distribution equipment. The compatible fixing device includes a base, side baffles, a top pressure plate, and front and rear limiting structures. Two side baffles are mounted on the base facing each other, forming a space between them to accommodate the fixed part. The distance between the two side baffles is adjustable. The top pressure plate is arranged in the left-right direction and its length is adjustable. Its left and right ends are respectively connected to the corresponding side baffles. The side baffles and the top pressure plate are connected by a height-adjustable connection structure, so that the height of the top pressure plate is adjustable. The front and rear limiting structures are arranged on the base to limit the fixed part in the front-back direction. The compatible fixing device of this invention has good adaptability and strong versatility. It can accommodate various sizes of fixed parts without the need for customized accessories. At the same time, it is convenient for spare parts management and has good practicality and promotion value.

A method for developing personally fitting custom accessories is disclosed. The method for developing personally fitting custom accessories provides a way for a user to form a material in a personalized way to make a perfect fit. The perfect fit is achieved as a continuous form of contact between the user and an accessory, such as a hand grip. A mold is scanned in 3D so that a 3D model can be used to physical manufacture a personally fitting custom accessory or product. The method for developing personally fitting custom accessories also enables modification of a developed personally fitting custom accessory to provide enhance usability of the accessory (e.g., adding a mount to the top of a personally fitting custom hand grip, etc.). In this way, the method for developing personally fitting custom accessories establishes optimized stability, handling, control, and comfort for the end user.
