  • Publication number: 20240149524
    Abstract: A dynamic manufacturing system such as for the additive manufacture of a fabrication item with multiformative capabilities presents a processor (29) that can refine movement, instructions, or data to achieve greater manufacturing efficiency and substantially uninterruptive change between formative process elements (24) or capabilities with simple user input (28) or indications. Optimization of movements, deposition of material, positioning, variant repositioning for next item layers during fabrication are provided in manners where the functions can be self contained such as in a 3D printer or the like and can be accomplished without significant interruptions to traditional processing times or even in shorter times through the improved transformations.

  • Patent number: 10716288
    Abstract: An enrichment device for dispensing edible food products to an animal, and including the capability to provide the animals meal with said device. The device includes a body, an upper surface which preferably is removable from the body, a cavity, at least one passageway in the upper surface, the passageway communicating with the cavity to allow food to pass from the upper surface into the cavity. The body has a wall forming the cavity, and the wall has one or more openings therein to allow for food to pass from the cavity outside of the device where it may be consumed by the animal. The device bottom is configured to provide a rocking motion when the device is disrupted.
