  • Patent number: 11989093
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for selection of memory devices in a distributed storage network. In an example, a computing device receives a data object for storage and selects a set of storage nodes of a plurality of sets of storage nodes for storing the data object. Selection of the set of storage nodes includes determining storage attributes associated with each set of storage nodes of the plurality of sets of storage nodes. Selection of the set of storage nodes additionally includes determining a storage preference associated with the data object, and comparing the storage preference with the storage attributes of the plurality of sets of storage nodes to determine a best match. Following selection of a set of storage nodes, the computing device facilitates storage of the data object in the selected set of storage nodes.

  • Publication number: 20240140024
    Abstract: Methods of creating additive manufactured parts include selectively dispensing, in a shape area according to a layer of a part to be created by additive manufacturing, a second composition onto a top surface of a first composition in a vat, wherein a polymerization component is in the second composition. In some cases, polymerization components for formation of the layer are kept separate from each other until the dispensing. In some cases, a first polymerization component is in the first composition, and a second polymerization component is in the second composition. The top surface is illuminated to expose the first composition and the second composition to light having a polymerization wavelength, thereby causing polymerization of the layer of the part only in the shape area. The dispensing comprises customizing a reaction variable of the polymerization to customize reaction kinetics in different portions of the shape area.
