Abstract: An insulated retail packaging container, method of manufacturing the same, and a method of filling the container. An embodiment of the container includes a plurality of interconnected panels establishing a flexible waterproof insulated bag. A re-closeable seal is configured to temporarily close the bag creating an enclosable receiving compartment that contains a plurality of individually packaged cups. A thermally insulating lining is secured to a majority of an internal surface of the receiving compartment. Disposed within one of the pluralities of interconnected panels is a first viewing window. The first viewing window is comprised of a transparent material, thereby allowing a user to determine a state of the retail products housed within the insulated retail packaging container without having to open the re-closeable seal when the insulated retail packaging container is operating as a cooler.

Abstract: A method, medium, and system to receive a specification defining a model of a part to be produced by an additive manufacturing (AM) process; execute an AM simulation on the model of the part to determine a prediction of thermal distortions to the part; execute a topology optimization (TO) to create TO supports that counteract the predicted thermal distortions; generate at least one rule-based support based on a geometry of the part to interface with the part at one or more regions other than the TO supports; combining the TO supports and the at least one rule-based support to generate a set of hybrid supports; save a record of the set of hybrid supports; and transmit the record of the set of hybrid supports to an AM controller to control an AM system to generate a support structure for an AM production of the part.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a rotor blade for a gas turbine system. The rotor blade includes a platform having a radially inner surface and a radially outer surface. A shank portion extends radially inwardly from the radially inner surface of the platform. The shank portion and the platform collectively define a shank pocket. An airfoil extends radially outwardly from the radially outer surface of the platform. The shank portion, the platform, and the airfoil collectively define a cooling passage extending from a cooling passage inlet defined by the shank portion or the platform and directly coupled to the shank pocket through the platform to a cooling passage outlet defined by the airfoil.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for a rotating chair, including an upper chair section, a lower chair section and a turntable mounted between the upper chair section and the lower chair section that allows the upper chair section to rotate with respect to the lower chair section.

Abstract: A system generates a set of candidate signals based on a received signal, whereby each candidate signal represents an adjustment of the signal for a different amount of potential noise. The system selects one of the candidate signals based on a selected subset of previous samples and the values of the selected subset of samples. The subset of previous samples is selected based on a predicted noise pattern.
