  • Publication number: 20220250326
    Abstract: A process is presented for creating 3D sculptures using a 3D printer. The 3D sculptures form a foreground for a 2D base image also applied by the 3D printer. The process involves using a 3D printer to apply colors and/or images like a conventional 2D printer while the 3D product is being created. A 2D base design is combined with a 3D sculpture design to create an integral “canvas” which faces outward from the base and presents a 3D image emerging from a 2D background. The completed “canvas” can then be attached to an apparel item, such as a hat, or an accessory item, such as a bag, using magnets or other conventional mechanical attachment means.

  • Publication number: 20220220685
    Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for draining underground soil moisture and water at a site. The methods and systems utilize a secured pipe system having a leading edge to drill the system into the earth, and perforations along portions of the surface of the system to receive accumulated water from underground and deliver it to the surface. A pipe cradle guide as provided is useful in the installation of the system. To also inject soil stabilizing materials (a mixture of sand and gel) into the earth using the secured pipe system, a removable canister is coupled to the distal end of the pipe system, and using water pressure the soil stabilizing materials are delivered to the soil by means of the secured pipe system.

  • Patent number: 11386127
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for implementing a low-latency data stream monitoring system. The data stream monitoring system may obtain raw data from a data source as soon after the data is generated, and may classify the data according to different topics. The topics may be published in a publish-subscribe messaging model, and data enrichment systems may subscribe to the topics to receive data for enrichment. The data enrichment systems may supplement or replace the raw data with additional information, and may further classify or reclassify the enriched data into different topics. The enriched data may then be published to an alert generation system, which may apply various criteria to the enriched data to determine that alerts should be generated, generate the alerts, and publish or transmit the alerts to client devices. Individual data streams, topics, enrichments, criteria, and alarms may be added, removed, or modified as required.
