  • Patent number: 10809699
    Abstract: The application refers to a method for generating three-dimensional object models for an additive manufacturing process in a layer-by-layer manner, e.g. 3D-printing, and to generating control data for use by the print apparatus. The object models are generated from a geometric description and from object generation data, which comprise the print apparatus and attributes such as a halftone scheme, a print apparatus setting, an object structure and a print material coverage representation. The method is implemented in the form of a computer software product and generates data specific for each identifies printing device.

  • Patent number: 10798009
    Abstract: A network may provide latency optimization by configuring respective latency values of one or more network components. A latency manager may receive a request indicative of a maximum latency value of a communications path between two devices, and may determine a particular network latency value. The latency manager may then determine respective endpoint latency values for endpoint devices based on the maximum latency value and network latency values. In addition, buffer characteristics, such as buffer depth at particular devices, may be adjusted in view of the latencies.

  • Patent number: 10760004
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for using pyrolysis tail gas as the source for additional hydrogen to be used in the pyrolysis reaction. Tail gas is separated from the pyrolysis products and a portion of the tail gas is converted into formic acid (HCOOH). The formic acid is then injected into the pyrolysis reactor where it becomes the donor of two monohydrogen atoms and is ultimately converted into CO2 under reaction conditions. In this fashion, a closed loop pyrolysis hydrogen donor system may be created utilizing a generally non-toxic intermediary derived from the pyrolysis reaction products. This disclosure also describes using a ruthenium catalyst supported on particles of activated carbon to improve the yield of pyrolysis reactions.

  • Publication number: 20200220510
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement comprises a first input node, a first output node, a sampling capacitor means and a first switching means being switchable between a first switching state and a second switching state. The first switching means is coupled to the sampling capacitor means, the first input node and the first output node in such a way that the sampling capacitor means is conductively connected to the first input node and disconnected from the first output node in the first switching state and the sampling capacitor means is disconnected from the first input node and conductively connected to the first output node in the second switching state. A first charge-storing element is coupled via a second switching means to the first input node in such a way that the charge-storing element is charged in the first switching state and discharged in the second switching state, thereby at least partly compensating current flow for charging the sampling capacitor means in the first switching state.

  • Patent number: 10688727
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus associated with three-dimensional objects are described. In an example, a method comprises receiving data representing a three-dimensional model object, the data comprising object model data and object property data. For at least one object property, a sub-region of the object in which the object property is non-variable is identified and, for at least one location within the object, all sub-regions in which the location is situated are identified. Based on the combination of identified sub-regions for a location, print material data is determined for the location. Control data for the production of a three-dimensional object is generated according to the print material data.

  • Publication number: 20200109279
    Abstract: The invention relates to heat treatment of polymorphic semicrystalline or crystallizable polymers to increase the content of the highest melting crystalline form. Such heat treatment results in a polymer powder that has a consistent, uniform melting range, improved flow and improved durability of the powder particle size for applications that require powder flow at elevated temperatures. In addition to improved powder properties, the articles produced from the powders also exhibit better physical properties in both appearance and in mechanical properties. Thus the invention also includes polymer powders and articles produced by the described processes.
