  • Publication number: 20240157642
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides apparatuses and methods for manufacturing three-dimensional objects. Each additive manufacturing apparatus (1000, 2000, 3000) includes: a) a reservoir (1100, 2100, 3100) for receiving hardenable material; b) a first movable light engine (1200, 2200, 3200) providing a first light radiation configuration; a second light engine (1300, 2300, 3300) providing a second light radiation configuration that is different than the first light radiation configuration; and d) a light altering structure (1400, 2400, 3400). The light altering structure is located between the reservoir and light radiated from at least one of the first movable light engine or the second light engine. The first movable light engine is configured to radiate light onto a first focal plane (2220) within the reservoir containing the hardenable material and the second light engine is configured to radiate light onto a second focal plane (2320) within the reservoir containing the hardenable material.

  • Patent number: 11909770
    Abstract: Providing an accurate and on-demand status of audit compliance is disclosed. A security policy, agreed upon by a service provider and a service user, is provisioned in a compliance log. A service provider requests to add a first update to the compliance log, the first update indicating that a compliance action has been taken. The first update is added to the compliance log, and a first computational digest of the compliance log is added after adding the first update. An auditor of the compliance action requests to add a second update to the compliance log. The second update is added to the compliance log, and a second computational digest of the compliance log is added after adding the second update. Thereby, the user is provided a more current view of audit compliance that that can be trusted based on the tamper-proof compliance log.

  • Patent number: 10764613
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and a system where a processor(s) obtains a request, from a first client, to stream selected content, uploaded by a second client, on a streaming media platform. The processor(s) identifies a similarity between metadata associated with the selected content and metadata associated with relevant additional content uploaded to the streaming media platform, by a third client. The metadata associated with the selected content and the metadata associated with the relevant additional content describe elements in the selected content and the relevant additional content identified, based on the processor(s) performing a content analysis of the selected content and the relevant additional content. The processor(s) selects the relevant additional content to provide to the first client, with the selected content, based on the similarity. The processor(s) displays the relevant additional content with the selected content on a viewer on the first client.

  • Patent number: 8954272
    Abstract: Tracking systems using multi-object-tracking (MOT) combine data from a plurality of sensors (101) to derive a state estimate of one or more objects (103) are described. The interfaces to the sensors (101) are such that different ones of the sensors (101) can be used. The tracking (102) in the system consists of different blocks for state estimation (104), object's existence estimation (106), and data association (105). To utilize the data of a sensor, the sensor data and the system which is observed is modeled using the Bayesian filtering framework. All interfaces of the system, i.e. the interfaces between the sensors (101) and the MOT system as well as of the blocks in the MOT are of a characteristic that ensures that only compatible models are used with each other already when designing the system.

  • Patent number: 7192909
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of polyolefin waxes as external lubricants and release agents for plastics. Said polyolefin waxes are produced by using metallocene catalysts, whereby the polyolefin waxes are homopolymerizates of ethylene or are copolymerizates of ethylene with one or more 1-olefins, and linear or branched, substituted or non-substituted olefins having 3–18 C atoms are used as 1-olefins. The processable plastic mixtures produced in this manner have a distinctively longer tack-free time and exhibit an improved behavior with regard to mold release.

  • Publication number: 20060080153
    Abstract: A health care system includes a data warehouse for accumulating data regarding laboratory test results, health care provider claims, pharmacy claims, supplemental information and immunization records. The data is then analyzed by a fact warehouse. The fact warehouse uses rule engines to analyze the data and determine certain facts regarding each participant in the health care system. A health opportunity engine then analyzes the data in light of the determined facts to ascertain whether opportunities exist for providing health care to a participant.

  • Publication number: 20060080271
    Abstract: A database for an enterprise includes a data warehouse and a fact warehouse. The fact warehouse contains facts determined at least in part from data contained within the data warehouse. A fact contained within the data warehouse includes information and a reference depth attribute. The reference depth attribute is indicative of the dependencies of the fact on other facts within the fact warehouse. A database tool is provided for creating facts. A fact set tool is also provided for creating summary screens for displaying the facts.
