Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods of additively manufacturing objects are disclosed. Specifically, provided herein are methods of heating objects having a particle-based support at least partially surrounding the object during portions of stages of the heating. Additionally, systems, apparatus, and methods for removing the particle-based support during heating, such that the object can continue heating to form a final part. Systems, apparatus, and methods for distributing the particle-based support to shore the objects through heating are disclosed. Systems, apparatus, and methods for removing the particle-based support are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A mobile application is configured for providing contextual information to a consumer operating a mobile device and/or reporting contextual information to an enterprise service about the mobile device. The contextual information is provided or reported when the mobile device is detected within a geofence area; the geofence area surrounds a retailer of interest to the consumer.

Abstract: A method for accessing an electronic device of a vehicle driver outside the vehicle including providing a vehicle which assists the vehicle driver by at least one driver assistance system while driving the vehicle and providing an electronic device of the vehicle driver outside the vehicle which communicates with the vehicle. The method includes the reproduction inside the vehicle of data contents which are stored on the electronic device of the vehicle driver outside the vehicle while the at least one driver assistance system is active. The disclosure enables a vehicle driver to perform personal tasks via one of his/her personal electronic devices during the assisted driving of a vehicle.

Abstract: A switch unit for an Ethernet network having a switch and a microprocessor, the switch including at least three ports, which are connected to inputs and outputs of the switch unit, a signal detector and generator for detecting and initiating a bus activity being arranged in each case between the ports and the inputs and outputs of the switch unit. For each input and output an allocation rule to the other inputs and outputs of the switch unit is stored in a memory, the switch unit being designed such that when a bus activity is detected at a signal detector and generator, the assigned inputs and outputs of this input and output are read out from the memory and the associated signal detectors and generators are woken up so that they generate a bus activity at their inputs and outputs.

Abstract: A mosquito trap includes a container having an open end and a composition positioned in the container. The composition comprises at least one active agent.

Abstract: An apparatus for operating a data bus system of a motor vehicle having data bus segments, at least one of the data bus segments is designed to switch from an active state to a rest state and vice versa. In a first step, a communication requirement is detected of a first control device of a first data bus segment in the rest state. If a communication requirement of the first control device is detected, the first data bus segment is brought from the rest state into the active state. If a communication requirement of the first control device with a second control device outside of the first data bus segment is detected, all other data bus segments of the data bus system outside of the first data bus segment that are in the rest state are additionally activated across the board.
