Patent number: 11958233Abstract: An inkjet printing method and inkjet compositions are disclosed. The method includes selectively depositing by inkjet printing, layer by layer, a first composition and a second composition onto a receiving media from different dispensers to form polymerizable deposited layers. The first composition includes one or more free-radical polymerizable compounds and a cationic photoinitiator and is devoid of compounds able to undergo cationic photopolymerization within the first composition. The second composition includes one or more cationic polymerizable compounds and is devoid of cationic photoinitiators. At least one of the compositions includes a radical photoinitiator. The method further includes exposing the deposited layers to actinic radiation to initiate polymerization of the free-radical polymerizable compounds and the cationic polymerizable compounds within the deposited layers.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: STRATASYS LTDInventors: Ira Yudovin-Farber, Eduardo Napadensky, Avi Levy, Daniel Dikovsky

Patent number: 11929837Abstract: A classification apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory is configured to store rules corresponding to a corpus of rules in respective rule entries, each rule includes a respective set of unmasked bits having corresponding bit values, and at least some of the rules include masked bits. The rules in the corpus conform to respective Rule Patterns (RPs), each RP defining a respective sequence of masked and unmasked bits. The processor is configured to cluster the RPs, using a clustering criterion, into extended Rule Patterns (eRPs) associated with respective hash tables including buckets for storing rule entries. The clustering criterion aims to minimize an overall number of the eRPs while meeting a collision condition that depends on a specified maximal number of rule entries per bucket.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.Inventors: Gil Levy, Roni Bar Yanai, Avi Urman
