  • Patent number: 12442949
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to testing apparatus and methods for measuring forces between objects. The apparatus and methods are used to detect a change in the local gravitational constant resulting from non-Newtonian effects of General Relativity and/or a novel radial dilation influence. Detection is facilitated by measuring a force difference between a stationary state and a spinning state of attractive forces between objects. The apparatus and methods are used to detect a change in electromechanical influence of forces due to the Barnett affect and other anomalous electromagnetic force contributors. A testing apparatus includes a central target arrangement. The central target arrangement includes a pair of masses, and a target coupled to the pair of masses. The testing apparatus includes a detector configured to recognize the target, and a first rotatable mass. The first rotatable mass is supported independently of the target and the pair of target masses.

  • Patent number: 11946914
    Abstract: A method for providing a casing (11) for a prefabricated column (1) of chromatography column material in order to manufacture a chromatography column, wherein the casing (11) is generated by additive manufacturing, includes the steps of rotating the column (1) of chromatography column material with respect to a casing material feed in a manner to successively cover a casing surface (8) of the chromatography column material along a contact area path (12), and of arranging an amount of flowable casing material (9) at a current contact area (7) along the contact area path (12) at the casing surface (8) of the column (1) of chromatography column material in order to generate the casing (11) for the chromatography column by successively adding the solidified amount of casing material (9) at the contact area (7).

  • Patent number: 11468172
    Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for automatically generating information about risks associated with browser extensions used by browsers in an enterprise network for purposes of determining whether to whitelist a browser extension in response to a request from a user. A request to install a browser extension is obtained from a user device of a plurality of user devices associated with an organization, wherein the request comprises an extension identifier for the browser extension. A risk score is generated for the browser extension based on risk values for each of one or more permissions requested by the browser extension. The risk score is compared to a threshold value to determine whether the browser extension satisfies risk standards of the organization, and if so, the browser extension is automatically added to a whitelist of permitted extensions for future installation on the plurality of user devices.

  • Publication number: 20190329320
    Abstract: In exemplary implementations of this invention, an actuated fabricator deposits structural elements (e.g., tensile structural elements) in a 3D pattern over large displacements. The fabricator is supported by at least three elongated support members. It includes onboard actuators that translate the fabricator relative to the ends of the support members. The fabricator is configured, by actuating different translations along different support members, to translate itself throughout a 3D volume. In some implementations, each of the actuators use fusible material to fuse metal tapes together, edge-to-edge, to form a hollow structure that can be shortened or lengthened.

  • Patent number: 10408314
    Abstract: In exemplary implementations, a target rod is actuated. The target rod is part of a set of threaded, elongated rods, the longitudinal axes of which are substantially parallel to each other. The set of rods has an interior region and a perimeter region. Actuators induce vibrations in a set of perimeter rods. These vibrations are substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axes. Furthermore, the vibrations are transmitted to interior rods, causing a target rod in the interior region to rotate about, and translate along, the longitudinal axis of the target rod. The target rod undergoes stick-slip motion relative to adjacent rods.
