  • Patent number: 11946902
    Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a dielectrophoresis (DEP) separator, an electrical field generator, a tracking system, and a controller. The DEP separator is to separate a plurality of different particles. The electrical field generator is coupled to the DEP separator to apply a frequency to the DEP separator. The tracking system is to track a movement of a type of particles in the DEP separator. The controller is in communication with the electrical field generator to control the frequency and the tracking system to track the separation. The controller is to calculate a cross-over frequency from a cross-over frequency distribution for the type of particles based on a frequency sweep performed on the type of particles and the movement of the type of particles that is tracked.

  • Patent number: 11945168
    Abstract: In an example, a method includes obtaining object model data describing at least a portion of an object to be generated by additive manufacturing. A color value of a first portion of the object to be generated may be determined, wherein the color value is based on a first color and a second color, different from the first color. Object generation data to generate the object using a fusing agent of the first color and a build material having the second color may be determined by defining a first region of a layer of build material to which fusing agent is to be applied defining a second region of the build material to which detailing agent is to be applied to define an edge of the object and defining a spacing region of build material to separate the first region and second region, wherein the spacing region is defined using parameters selected to provide the color value.

  • Patent number: 11947675
    Abstract: An example computing device incudes a main processor, a management firmware subsystem, and a controller to control operation of the management firmware subsystem. The controller is separate from a main processor. A memory stores subsystem data that is useable by the controller. The computing device further includes a set of instructions that determines a manufacturing mode of the computing device. The manufacturing mode is enabled when the computing device is under manufacture or maintenance. The manufacturing mode is disabled when the computing device is under normal operation. The set of instructions further determines a manufacturing state of the subsystem data. The manufacturing state indicates whether the subsystem data is complete. In response to determining that the manufacturing mode is disabled and that the manufacturing state of the subsystem data is incomplete, the set of instructions initiates a restoration of the subsystem data from a backup of the subsystem data.
