Publication number: 20240108994Abstract: A printing system includes: a plurality of unitary objects each having a unique identification code, a plurality of fixtures arranged on a base, and a printer controller. Each unitary object includes a uniquely-shaped three-dimensional body fixed to a plate by a connection mechanism. Each fixture includes: a fixture block defining a printing opening; and a plate guide defined in the fixture block and configured to receive the plate. A target region of the three-dimensional body is aligned within the printing opening of the fixture block when the plate is fixed within the plate guide. The printer controller is configured to: detect the unique identification code of each unitary object; and control an ink dispenser to print a unique topographical design on each aligned target region of each three-dimensional body, the unique topographical design being associated with the detected unique identification code.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: William Howard Lyon Belknap, JR., Robert Chester Mackowiak, Patrick Marr, Daniel Anthony D'Amico, Tyler Nelson

Patent number: 11923704Abstract: A computer implemented method includes accessing a first status of a first battery pack interface coupled to a load via a first load switch and accessing a second status of a second battery pack interface coupled to the load via a second load switch. The first status and the second status are compared and the first and second load switches are controlled based on the comparing to balance remaining capacities of the first and second battery packs.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: James Chester Meador, Daniel Tsuteh Chian, Julian Arlo Binder, Meera Radhakrishnan

Patent number: 11878089Abstract: Bio-ink compositions comprising bio-compatible microgels or nanogels are described. The bio-inks can comprise, for example, micro- or nanogels comprising crosslinked poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (poly-NIPam). The bio-inks can further comprise viscosity control agents, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and/or surface tension agents. Three-dimensional (3D) printing (e.g., piezoelectric printing) of the bio-inks can provide 3D printed materials comprising microgel or nanogel assemblies of the bio-ink compositions. These materials can be used as scaffolds for preparing biological tissues for use, for instance, in regenerative medicine.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2019Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: North Carolina State UniversityInventors: Ashley Brown, Michael Daniele, Jeremy Nortey, Daniel Chester, Terrika Ngobili
