  • Publication number: 20240139984
    Abstract: An automated pizza cutter with a blade and a pizza resting on a working surface. Horizontal, vertical and/or rotational relative movement between the blade and the pizza is effected by different embodiments. The working surface can be moved rotationally relative to the blade, and the blade may be moved horizontally and/or vertically relative to the working surface. In one embodiment, a rotatably driven table supports a pizza while a blade disposed above the table is configured to move vertically and horizontally. A programmable user interface allows operation of the cutter. After the cutting process is completed, a blade cleaner wipes the blade of debris, which eliminates cross contamination between different types of pizzas.

  • Publication number: 20200302025
    Abstract: Methods and devices using a computer-generated design of an AM part to ensure that the part is design to support additional manufacturing steps. The methods include performing frequency analysis on a computer-generated design of the manufactured part and calculating mode shapes at natural frequencies of the computer-generated design. A static compliance is calculated at points on the computer-generated design using each of the mode shapes. The static compliance indicates an expected displacement at each of the plurality of points when the computer generated design is exposed to a predetermined non-dynamic load.

  • Publication number: 20170264105
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for battery cell temperature maintenance including determining a battery cell temperature of a battery cell is below a temperature threshold and initiating a temperature maintenance mode. Upon initiation of the temperature maintenance mode, determining a charge level of the battery cell and initiating one of a charge sequence in which the battery cell is charged and a discharge sequence in which the battery cell is discharged. The charge sequence initiated upon determining the charge level is equal to or less than a discharge limit and the discharge sequence initiated upon determining the charge level is equal to or greater than a charge limit.

  • Publication number: 20140071118
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for use in an autostereoscopic display system. In one aspect, a display device can include a pixel array having a first set of pixels configured to display image data for a viewer's right eye and a second set of pixels configured to display image data for a viewer's left eye. The pixels of the first set can be interspersed amongst the pixels of the second set. A prismatic array can be positioned forward of the pixel array and can have a plurality of prisms coupled to the pixel array. Each prism can be aligned with a pixel from the first set of pixels and a pixel from the second set of pixels. The prisms can be configured to selectively guide light from the pixels to an associated one of the left or right eyes, thereby forming a 3D image.
