  • Publication number: 20250137204
    Abstract: A receptacle moulding system for moulding a receptacle from a fibre suspension and a method for manufacturing a moulded receptacle, in which fibre suspension is deposited into a cavity of a mould during two deposition periods that are separated by an intervening pressure build-up period. During the pressure build-up period a negative pressure of increasing magnitude is generated within the cavity of the mould.

  • Publication number: 20250129549
    Abstract: A mandrel system for use with a mould to mould a receptacle is described. The mandrel system comprises a component, a mandrel, and an expandable member. The mandrel is at least partially located, or at least partially locatable, inside the expandable member and comprises one or more holes through which a fluid is flowable in use from an interior of the mandrel to an exterior of the mandrel to expand the expandable member. The expandable member is attached, or is attachable, to the component. When the expandable member is attached to the component and the mandrel is at least partially located inside the expandable member, an end of the mandrel is moveable relative to the component to vary a length of the expandable member and thereby to vary a width of the expandable member.

  • Patent number: 12275098
    Abstract: A tool less method of connecting a welding-type power source with a cart is disclosed. In some examples, the cart may be configured to carry one or more gas bottles (and/or cylinders). In some examples, the power source housing and the cart may connect at interfacing ends and/or walls of the housing and cart. A connector, such as a clip for example, may span the interface to connect the power source housing and the cart. Catches (e.g. slots, holes, crevices, and/or protrusions) may be formed in and/or on the power supply housing and/or cart proximate to the interfacing ends and/or walls. In some examples, the catches may be aligned. In some examples, the cart and/or power source housing may include alignment surfaces to assist with alignment. The connector may engage the aligned catches to connect the welding-type power source and cart together at the interface.

  • Patent number: 12199846
    Abstract: A network security monitoring and correlation system for providing a three-dimensional visualization of network traffic overlaid with security alerts and other relevant discrete data. The system may comprise an application server communicably linked to a client. The server functions to retrieve network traffic metadata and relevant discrete data associated with individual computer hosts and connections in the monitored network, process the network traffic data by building a graph data structure, and then embedding within the graph data structure one or more layers of additional information about the individual computer hosts and connections derived from the discrete data. The client functions to produce a three-dimensional visualization of the network environment by parsing the graph data structure received from the server and then spawning computer hosts and connections in the 3-D environment.

  • Publication number: 20240426061
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method of forming a moulded receptacle, comprising: applying a fibre suspension onto a mould cavity wall of a receptacle mould, the fibre suspension at least partially coating the mould cavity wall. The method further comprises supplying a fluid into direct contact with the fibre suspension on the mould cavity wall at a pressure of between about 3.5 bar and about 10 bar for a period of less than about 60 seconds, such that the fluid presses the fibre suspension against the mould cavity wall so that liquid is removed from the fibre suspension and passes through apertures formed in the mould cavity wall to form the moulded receptacle on the mould cavity wall.

  • Patent number: 12059754
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for manually setting up a wire drive assembly of a welding power supply and automatically setting up welding power supply parameters. A drive roll is configured with multiple grooves for receiving multiple wires of different types and/or different diameters. A sensor can detect the configuration of the drive roll such as, for example, being configured to receive a particular wire type with a particular diameter in a particular groove, by detect a distance to the drive roll. The welding power supply can use this information to automatically set the wire speed.

  • Patent number: 12030464
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for heat sanitizing a vehicle. In one example, a method may include, responsive to receiving a request for cleaning an interior of a vehicle, adjusting a position of a sun shade based on at least one of an ambient temperature outside of the vehicle and a sun load of the vehicle, and operating a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system to heat the interior above an upper threshold temperature for a first threshold duration. In this way, the HVAC system may be advantageously used to expose the vehicle interior to temperatures that kill or inactive microbes.
