Abstract: A recirculation circuit for a processing vessel is configured to process a load with a process fluid. The recirculation circuit includes a first circuit portion configured to recirculate a first portion of the process fluid through the vessel. The first circuit portion includes a first pump having a first flow rate and a first output pressure and a heat exchanger in fluid communication with the first pump. A second circuit portion is configured to recirculate a second portion of the process fluid through the vessel. The second circuit portion includes a second pump having a second flow rate higher than the first flow rate and a second output pressure lower than the first output pressure.

Abstract: An object retrieval device is disclosed. The retrieval device includes a retrieval end, a joint, and an extension arm. The retrieval end includes an adhesive portion and an arm portion. The arm portion includes a set of protrusions and adhesive portion includes surface segmentation. The joint is configured to pivot. The extension arm includes a first set of protrusions disposed at a first end of the extension arm. The first end of the extension arm is couplable to the arm portion of the retrieval end such that the first set of protrusions disposed on the extension arm align with the set of protrusions disposed on the arm portion of the retrieval end to form ridges.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for determining a position of a nozzle of a 3D printer are described. In certain implementations, a method for determining a position of a nozzle of a 3D printer is provided. The method includes moving a nozzle assembly relative to a test feature of a calibration object such that a nozzle tip contacts the test feature for a plurality of times. The nozzle assembly includes the nozzle that has the nozzle tip. The method also includes reading positions of the nozzle when the nozzle tip contacts the test feature. The method further includes determining a relative position of an end point of the nozzle relative to a reference point.

Abstract: In a method of printing a transferable component, a stamp including an elastomeric post having three-dimensional relief features protruding from a surface thereof is pressed against a component on a donor substrate with a first pressure that is sufficient to mechanically deform the relief features and a region of the post between the relief features to contact the component over a first contact area. The stamp is retracted from the donor substrate such that the component is adhered to the stamp. The stamp including the component adhered thereto is pressed against a receiving substrate with a second pressure that is less than the first pressure to contact the component over a second contact area that is smaller than the first contact area. The stamp is then retracted from the receiving substrate to delaminate the component from the stamp and print the component onto the receiving substrate. Related apparatus and stamps are also discussed.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an integrated ground support system for an aircraft is described herein, the system including a frame on which the system is arranged as a singular assembly. An engine, drive train, alternator, bleed air unit, one or more electrical components, and air cycle machine are mounted on the frame. The engine operates at a first operational state associated with a first rotational speed that is independent of a frequency associated with electrical power, if only the electrical power is to be used by the aircraft, and the engine operates at a second operational state associated with a second rotational speed, different from the first rotational speed, that is a function of a pressure associated with bleed air or the conditioned air, if the electrical power and one of the bleed air or the conditioned air are to be used simultaneously by the aircraft.

Abstract: A filter for filtering a liquid metal and to be received in a mold housing defined by internal side and face walls. The filter has a top wall and side walls extending downwardly from the top wall, the side walls being joined together at respective corners. The side walls extend downwardly towards distal end portions. The corners of the filter have a stiffness or rigidity that is higher that the remainder of the filter for increasing the strength of the overall filter and for helping the filter to maintain its shape and integrity throughout casting. The shape of the side walls allows an easy and consistent placement of the filter in the mold housing and ensures that the filter is maintained in place.
