  • Patent number: 11961976
    Abstract: An example outdoor mounted device includes a first battery configured to operate at a low temperature range that at least includes negative 20 Celsius; a second battery configured to operate at a high temperature range; a temperature sensor; and processing circuitry configured to: determine, based on data received from the temperature sensors, a current temperature; responsive to determining that the current temperature is within the low temperature range, cause one or more components of the computing device to operate using electrical energy sourced from the first battery; and responsive to determining that the current temperature is within the high temperature range, cause the one or more components of the computing device to operate using electrical energy sourced from the second battery.

  • Publication number: 20210347113
    Abstract: A composite body includes a bound mixture, a resin and a coating. The bound mixture includes a binder and a plurality of particles. The resin fully infiltrates the bound mixture such that the resin fully infiltrates an entire thickness of the bound mixture. The composite body is formed by combining a plurality of particles with a binder to form a bound mixture and infiltrating the bound mixture with a resin to a depth such that substantially an entire thickness of the bound mixture contains the resin. The coating defines an outer layer of the composite body.

  • Publication number: 20190152158
    Abstract: A projector or system for assisting in a removal of 3D printed molds from a print chamber. The projector is operative to receive a file in a format compatible for a 3D printer. The projector further receives input corresponding to a location of the prototype contained in a powder box and input corresponding to a profile of powder contained across a surface of the associated powder box. Using the location, a portion of the prototype located immediately beneath a surface of powder in the powder box is determined. A distance of the portion to a selected region of the top surface is also determined. A cue is generated based on the distance. The projector generates an image of the extracted layer and projects the image onto the surface of the associated powder box. The image comprises at least one color coded region within a proximity of the portion, where a color of the color coded region is based on the cue.

  • Publication number: 20130270859
    Abstract: An automobile component including an aluminum alloy product having a base aluminum alloy layer and a first additional aluminum alloy layer disposed directly on the base layer. The base aluminum alloy layer includes 2.0 to 22 wt. % zinc and the zinc is a predominate alloying element of the base layer other than aluminum and the first additional aluminum alloy layer includes 0.20 to 8.0 wt. % magnesium and the magnesium is a predominate alloying element of the first additional aluminum alloy layer other than aluminum. The automobile component may include outer panel sections, high form inner sections, reinforcement sections, crash sections, large flat panel sections, and high strength sections and, when tested in a static axial crush test, a peak load of the automobile component increases at least 20% when compared to alloy 6014 in the T6 temper.
