Publication number: 20230106321Abstract: The problem of limited throughput in three-dimensional (3D) printing processes is addressed by systems and methods that employ mirrors to receive energy reflected by the melt pool and to redirect such light back to the melt pool, where it may further heat the melt pool. Multiple such passes of reflection from the melt pool and redirection back to the melt pool may substantially increase the efficiency at which the melt pool absorbs the energy, thereby substantially increasing the throughput of the 3D printing process.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2021Publication date: April 6, 2023Applicant: Nikon CorporationInventors: Alton Hugh Phillips, Eric Peter Goodwin

Publication number: 20230053030Abstract: A system for enhancing personnel safety on a railroad track is presented. The system can receive data from sensors and/or a PTC system to determine positions of clients/worker and/or vehicles, and further utilize such data to determine if a vehicle is within a certain proximity of the client/worker location. The system can further generate geofences around clients/vehicles to and determine when such geofences intersect one another. Additionally, the present disclosure can assign severity levels and generate alerts with the assigned severity levels, and such severity levels can indicate how close a vehicle is to a particular location. It is an object of the invention to provide a system for generating alerts to notify personnel when they much retreat to a place of safety.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: BNSF Railway CompanyInventors: Eric Peter Olsen, Shanmugasundaram Rajasubramanian, Nithin Paul Mathew, Marutha Pandian Jagadesan, Michael Howard, David Himmelstein, Aamir Ahmad Halim, Wayne Morgan, Amit Kumar Dash, Jacob Bunkley, Dickson Waudo, William Stewart, Raven Wylie

Publication number: 20220382121Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a coherent aperture array system for steering an optical source beam. The system may have a plurality of spaced apart, steerable emitters each being able to be mechanically aimed at a remote target location to steer portions of the source beam toward the target location. Each steerable emitter has a subaperture controllable independently of a remaining reflective surface of its associated steerable emitter, to receive and reflect a subportion of the source beam portion. The subportion forms a sense beam which is reflected toward a phase imaging system. A separate reference beam is created from the portion of the source beam travelling toward each steerable emitter. Each sense beam and each reference beam are thus associated uniquely with one of the steerable emitters. A phase imaging system is responsive to each of the reference beams and the sense beams, and determines phase differences between the portions of the source beam being transmitted from each steerable emitter.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2021Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Robert Matthew PANAS, Robert MCHENRY, David Brent MARQUAND, Eric Peter MCNAUL

Publication number: 20220252392Abstract: 3D metrology techniques are disclosed for determining a changing topography of a substrate processed in an additive manufacturing system. Techniques include fringe scanning, simultaneous fringe projections, interferometry, and x-ray imaging. The techniques can be applied to 3D printing systems to enable rapid topographical measurements of a 3D printer powder bed, or other rapidly moving, nearly continuous surface to be tested. The techniques act in parallel to the system being measured to provide information about system operation and the topography of the product being processed. A tool is provided for achieving higher precision, increasing throughput, and reducing the cost of operation through early detection and diagnosis of operating problems and printing defects. These techniques work well with any powder bed 3D printing system, providing real-time metrology of the powder bed, the most recently printed layer, or both without reducing throughput.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2020Publication date: August 11, 2022Applicant: Nikon CorporationInventors: Eric Peter Goodwin, Heather Lynn Durko, Daniel Gene Smith, Johnathan Agustin Marquez, Michael Birk Binnard, Patrick Shih Chang, Matthew Parker-McCormick Bjork, Paul Derek Coon, Brett William Herr, Motofusa Ishikawa

Patent number: 11340566Abstract: Traditional home-automation systems utilize a single hub for controlling secondary devices within a home. The techniques described herein, meanwhile, utilize multiple hubs within the environment and/or located remotely from the environment. For instance, an environment may include multiple electronic devices, each configured to control one or more secondary devices within the environment. In addition, a remote service may be configured to control one or more secondary devices within the environment. As such, each controlling device stores and executes an instance of a control engine, rather than relying on a single instance of a control engine located at a single controlling hub.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eric Peter Raeber, Robert Franklin Ebert, Adam Barry Fineberg, Mark Sander Urbanus, Miroslav Ristic, Maxim Spivak

Patent number: 11300963Abstract: A robotic assistant comprises a plurality of sensors on a mobile chassis. An occupancy map includes obstacle cost values for particular areas or cells of the map. These obstacle cost values may be based on whether an obstacle is detected and the confidence value of that detection, estimated precision of the location of the detected object, and so forth. A set of rules for preferred locations of robot movement is used to assess the occupancy map and to determine constraint cost value for the particular areas. For example, the area in a center of a hallway may be associated with a relatively high constraint cost value. An aggregate cost value may be calculated by summing the obstacle cost value and the constraint cost value for the particular area. The aggregate cost value may be used to determine a maximum permissible speed for the robot while traversing the particular area.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2017Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Roger Robert Webster, Eric Peter Raeber, Mohit Deshpande
