  • Publication number: 20240173914
    Abstract: A method for fabricating an item using a high-viscosity photoresin is described that includes providing tooling that comprises an extruder and a light source: depositing. by the extruder of the tooling. a first non-patterned layer of the high-viscosity photoresin: selectively photocuring. by the light source of the tooling. the first non-patterned layer into a first predetermined layer shape: depositing. by the extruder of the tooling. a second nonpatterned layer of the high-viscosity photoresin: and selectively photocuring. by the light source of the tooling. the second non-patterned layer into a second predetermined layer shape.

  • Publication number: 20240130132
    Abstract: An electronic device comprising a lower deck and an upper deck adjacent to a source. Each of the lower deck and the upper deck comprise tiers of alternating conductive materials and dielectric materials. Each of the lower deck and the upper deck also comprise an array region and one or more non-array regions. Memory pillars are in the lower deck and the upper deck of the array region and the memory pillars are configured to be operably coupled to the source. Dummy pillars are in the upper deck of the one or more non-array regions and the dummy pillars are configured to be electrically isolated from the source. Another conductive material is in the upper deck and the lower deck of the one or more non-array regions. Additional electronic devices and related systems and methods of forming an electronic device are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20050145567
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for increasing the duration of uninterrupted filtering flow by using crossflow filtration and ultrasonic energy with in difficult to filter process liquids (e.g. of the kind having (1) a carrier liquid, (2) coalescing solids particles which tend to adhere and bridge filter element gaps sized substantially larger than such particles, and (3) larger impurity elements to be filtered out of such process liquid and sized larger than such filter element gaps).

  • Patent number: 6787046
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for increasing the continuous filtering flow rate through a pressure liquid filter unit of liquid-to-be-filtered having (1) a carrier liquid, (2) coalescing solids particles which tend to adhere and bridge filter clement gaps sized substantially larger than said particles and (3) larger impurity elements to be filtered out of the liquid-to-be-filtered and sized larger than such filter element gap. A pressure liquid filter unit containing a filter element having gaps, a given gap being sized to reliably pass the carrier liquid and coalescing solids particles at a first relatively low liquid flow rate, but blocking coalescing solids particles passage therethrough due to bridging of said gaps by the coalescing solids particles at a relatively high liquid flow rate.
