  • Patent number: 11947603
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computerized methods, systems, and devices, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating terms of a search query based on a user's spoken utterances, identifying multiple cross-platform messages based on the generated terms, and to generating, via a presentation device, a single interface that enables the user to interact with identified messages. Based on a spoken utterance, the disclosed embodiments may determine user-specified search terms and/or criteria, and based on the user-specified search terms and/or criteria, may obtain cross-platform message data that corresponds to the search query. The communications device may generate one or more interface elements that describe corresponding ones of the cross-platform messages, which may be presented within a unified graphical user interface or voice-user interface by a communications device.

  • Publication number: 20240098943
    Abstract: An electronic assembly may include a chassis having electronic module mounting positions and respective electronic modules received in each electronic module mounting position. A respective retainer may be coupled between the chassis and each electronic module. Each retainer may include a retainer body coupled to the chassis, and a liquid coupling body carried by the retainer body and movable between retracted and extended positions permitting insertion and removal of the electronic module. The liquid coupling body may have a retainer liquid outlet and a retainer liquid inlet configured to engage a module liquid inlet and module liquid outlet, respectively, when moved from the retracted position to the extended position.

  • Publication number: 20240083584
    Abstract: A rail assembly includes assembly includes a fixed carriage and a clamping system. The fixed carriage defines a receiving area and a rail at least partially supported within the receiving area. The rail is slidable along an axis relative to the receiving area. The clamping system applies a clamping force on the rail within the receiving area. A movable assembly may be supported on the rail such that the movable assembly is movable along the axis relative to the fixed carriage.

  • Patent number: 11826823
    Abstract: The invention is a system for the in-situ monitoring of additive manufacturing. The system, without pre-calibration of a test sample, utilizes ultrasonic waves to conduct a layer-by-layer analysis of a three-dimensional component as it is being developed on a build plate. Resonant frequencies for each layer is measured and the difference between the resonant frequencies of consecutive layers are calculated to define a baseline frequency. Similarities or differences in baseline frequencies are used to validate the integrity of the layers of the component, and also to determine if structural inconsistencies exists. Based on these determinations, the system decides whether to continue printing or to halt printing.

  • Patent number: 7634853
    Abstract: Two or more plates, each having a matching alignment hole, are precisely aligned and mated together by an aligning and clamping device that includes: (a) a plurality of movable aligning fingers, retraction means for causing the aligning fingers to move into a retracted state where they occupy a first volumetric space sufficiently small to allow the two or more plates to be moved over the retracted fingers so as to have their respective alignment holes surrounding the retracted aligning fingers; (b) expansion means for use after the plates have been moved over the fingers, the expansion means urging the fingers to expand outwardly to occupy a second volumetric space greater than the first volumetric space such that the fingers begin to contact and begin to improve co-alignment between the surrounding alignment holes; and (d) clamping means for use after the alignment holes of the plates have begun to come into improved co-alignment, the clamping means applying a clamping force for clamping the two or more mate
