  • Publication number: 20180085826
    Abstract: A heating device and method for providing temperature control in an additive manufacturing processes. The heating device is positioned circumferentially about a print head and proximate a top layer of a printed object. An area of the top layer of the printed object is heated by directing energy from the heating device to the top layer as material is deposited from the print head onto the printed object. The directed energy applied to the printed object reduces distortion of the printed object caused by temperature gradients and improves the layer-to-layer bonding of the printed object.

  • Publication number: 20170301344
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include an expert-assisted phoneme recognition neural network system configured to recognize phonemes within continuous large vocabulary speech sequences without using language specific models (“left-context”), look-ahead (“right-context”) information, or multi-pass sequence processing, and while operating within the resource constraints of low-power and real-time devices. To these ends, in various implementations, an expert-assisted phoneme recognition neural network system as described herein utilizes a-priori phonetic knowledge. Phonetics is concerned with the configuration of the human vocal tract while speaking and acoustic consequences on vocalizations. While similar sounding phonemes are difficult to detect and are frequently misidentified by previously known neural networks, phonetic knowledge gives insight into what aspects of sound acoustics contain the strongest contrast between similar sounding phonemes.
