  • Publication number: 20240112170
    Abstract: Various methods are provided for facilitating access to linked information to GPS or short-range wireless equipped devices. One example method may comprise receiving, via a network, an indication of an interaction between a primary device and a third-party device, the indication comprising at least a first element and a second element, the first element indicative of user identification information and the second element indicative of at least one of a location or a bounded region, determining, as a function of at least the first element and the second element, a data object that upon validation is configured for use a subsequent interaction, and transmitting, to a mobile device, an electronic communication comprising an indication, configured for rendering on the mobile device, of the data object.

  • Publication number: 20240086583
    Abstract: A method includes: accessing a part model comprising a three-dimensional representation of a part; accessing a material profile relating exposure energy and three-dimensional polymerization geometry of a material selected for the part; segmenting the part model into a set of model layers; detecting a first upward-facing surface in the part model; defining a first model volume in a first model layer, adjacent the first upward-facing surface, and fully contained within the part model; based on the material profile, calculating a first exposure energy predicted to yield a first three-dimensional polymerization geometry approximating a first contour of the first upward-facing surface when projected onto the material during a build; populating a first print image with the first exposure energy in a first image area corresponding to the first model volume in the first model layer; and storing the first print image in a print file for the part.

  • Publication number: 20220318246
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for improving network database functionalities are discussed therein, such as a computer-implemented method including generating, in a network database, a first dataset associated with a client account, wherein the first dataset indicates a restricted value; receiving, from a client device associated with the client account, a first data linking query to associate the first dataset with an instrument identifier; generating, in the network database, a dataset pointer mapping the first dataset with the instrument identifier, wherein the instrument identifier is associated with a physical instrument; receiving a transmission indication associated with the physical instrument, wherein the transmission indication indicates the instrument identifier and a partial amount associated with the first dataset; updating, in the network database, the first dataset based on the transmission indication; and outputting, to the client device, a transmission notification indic
