  • Patent number: 10949178
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for generating application programming interface (API) code for an application. The method generally includes receiving information indicating a set of queries invoked within an application. A set of nodes in a graph projection of the API accessed by queries in the set of queries is identified by traversing the graph projection of the API for each query in the set of queries. A subgraph projection of the API including the identified set of nodes is identified, and code implementing operations associated with the identified set of nodes is generated from the generated subgraph projection of the API. The generated code is deployed for use with the application.

  • Patent number: 10933582
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are directed to the use of vapor phase change in binder jetting processes for forming three-dimensional objects. In general, a vapor of a first fluid may be directed to a layer of a powder spread across a build volume. The vapor may condense to reduce mobility of the particles of the powder of the layer. For example, the condensing vapor may reduce the likelihood of particle ejection from the layer and, thus, may reduce the likelihood of clogging or otherwise degrading a printhead used to jet a second fluid (e.g., a binder) to the layer. Further, or instead, the condensing vapor may increase the density of the powder in the layer which, when repeated over a plurality of layers forming a three-dimensional object, may reduce the likelihood of slumping of the part during sintering.

  • Publication number: 20210032987
    Abstract: One embodiment of a method of performing a test on a core sample comprises transferring at least a portion of a core sample from a first core containment vessel to a second core containment vessel. The core sample is maintained at a substantially equivalent pressure or placed under a higher pressure during the transfer of the core sample from the first vessel to the second vessel. The method further comprises performing a test on the core sample in a measurement region of the second vessel.

  • Publication number: 20190187113
    Abstract: An automatic sensor excitation voltage adjustment feature, a multi-range concentration feature, a single calibration feature and a barrier circuit feature. The automatic sensor excitation voltage adjustment feature includes a transmitter having a transmitter microprocessor that provides an initial voltage to a sensor having a sensor microprocessor. As the voltage changes a correction signal is relayed from the sensor microprocessor to the transmitter microprocessor. The correction signal is used to adjust the voltage applied to the sensor. The multi-range concentration sensor feature includes an amplifier associated with the senior/micro-processor to create gain settings used to optimize sensor resolution by changing a gain value for the sensor. This enables use of a single sensor for a variety of different concentration ranges.

  • Publication number: 20180352439
    Abstract: A computing device detects a trigger or context associated with exchanging, using a body area network (BAN), body area network services with another device. The BAN services can include a discovery service to allow the computing device to connect to a network. Responsive to detecting the trigger or context, one or more body area networks are discovered and the other device is discovered. If the computing device and the other device are new to each other, the computing device is authenticated to the body area network one or more body area network services can be exchanged. If the devices are not new to each other, body area network services can be exchanged using the other device.

  • Patent number: 9385687
    Abstract: RF attenuator circuitry includes an RF attenuator and a control system. The RF attenuator is configured to provide an attenuation response between an input node and an output node. The control system is coupled to the RF attenuator and configured to adjust one or more control signals provided to the RF attenuator based on either the temperature of the circuitry or an externally applied test signal provided to the control system. The control signals are provided such that the attenuation response of the RF attenuator is substantially linear-in-dB with respect to either the temperature or the test signal provided to the control system. Because the control system is configured to adjust the control signals based either on a temperature of the circuitry or the test signal, the response of the RF attenuator can be easily and quickly tested to ensure linear-in-dB operation thereof.
