  • Publication number: 20240150242
    Abstract: A three-part epoxy grout composition comprises a liquid epoxy blend, a liquid hardener, and a graded particulate aggregate, wherein the dry aggregate particles are pretreated with an applied adhesion promoter in an amount of 0.01 to 5% by weight. The volume of pretreated aggregate particles, when mixed with the epoxy blend and the hardener, comprises at least 70% by volume of the cured grout. Pretreatment of the aggregate by coating with adhesion promoter allows more efficient use of chemicals along with improved strength. Related methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11967968
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of digital-to-analog converter (DAC) channels. Each DAC channel includes a current control circuit which receives a start limit signal or an end limit signal. The current control circuit reduces an output current limit of the channel responsive to the start limit signal and increases the output current limit responsive to the end limit signal. Each channel includes a current sensor circuit adapted to measure the output current of the channel and provide a channel over-current alert signal if the output current rises above a high current limit. The system includes a controller which asserts the start limit signal if the number of channels exceeding the high current limit is greater than a maximum allowable number and asserts the end limit signal if the number of channels exceeding the high current limit is less than the maximum allowable number minus a hysteresis value.

  • Publication number: 20240127522
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to generating expressive avatars using multi-modal three-dimensional face modeling and tracking. One example includes a computer system comprising a processor coupled to a storage system that stores instructions. Upon execution by the processor, the instructions cause the processor to receive initialization data describing an initial state of a facial model. The instructions further cause the processor to receive a plurality of multi-modal data signals. The instructions further cause the processor to perform a fitting process using the initialization data and the plurality of multi-modal data signals. The instructions further cause the processor to determine a set of parameters based on the fitting process, wherein the determined set of parameters describes an updated state of the facial model.
