Abstract: An example build material spreader for a three-dimensional (3D) object printer has a spreader surface to contact a build material and spread the build material in a build material layer by translating the build material spreader through a bed of the build material to shear the build material and form a smooth exposed surface of the build material layer. The spreader surface has a surface energy less than a maximum surface energy.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly is provided which is, in part, formed of a low coefficient of thermal expansion material. The assembly includes a nozzle fairing formed of the low coefficient of thermal expansion material and includes a metallic strut extending radially through the nozzle fairing. Load is transferred from the nozzle fairing to a static structure in either of two ways: first, the strut may receive the load directly and/or second, load may be transferred from the nozzle fairing to at least one of the inner and outer support rings. Further, the nozzle fairing and strut may allow for internal airflow for cooling.

Abstract: A system and method for additive manufacturing (AM) including forming a product via AM, placing a resonator adjacent the product as the product is being formed in the AM, and determining a property of the product. The resonator operates over a microwave frequency spectrum and emanates electromagnetic energy.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a fluid property sensing device is described. The fluid property sensing device includes a substrate having a trench formed therein. The trench includes a bottom surface and opposite side surfaces. A first electrode is disposed on a first side surface of the trench and a second electrode is disposed on a second side surface of the trench. The first electrode and second electrode form a capacitor to measure a complex impedance of a fluid that fills a space between the first electrode and the second electrode. This complex impedance indicates a property of the fluid. A fluid level sensing die, having a number of fluid level sensing components disposed thereon, may be attached to the substrate, preferably in such a way that the fluid level sensing die is surrounded by the trench. In this way the surface area of the electrodes provided in the trench can be increased. The number of level sensing components may be thermal sensing components.

Abstract: Some examples include an additive manufacturing method for controlling electrostatic discharge of a build object. The method includes receiving data related to a build object, the data including conductivity data, selectively depositing a first portion of a printing agent onto a build material layer in a pattern of an object layer of a build object, the printing agent being electrically conductive at a predetermined dosage, the first portion deposited at less than the predetermined dosage, selectively depositing a second portion of the printing agent onto the build material layer at an area of the pattern, the printing agent at the area deposited at or above the predetermined dosage, and applying fusing energy to form the object layer, the object layer of the build object including a shell formed at the area and a core, the shell being electrically conductive and the core being electrically non-conductive.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a frame for attaching an adjunct to an end effector of a surgical device are provided. In one embodiment, the end effector can include upper and lower jaws, and the frame can include features for releasably engaging one or the jaws. The frame can also include retaining features for coupling an adjunct to a tissue-facing surface of the frame, thereby releasably coupling the adjunct material to the jaw of the end effector. In some implementations, the frame can include a plurality of retaining features that are configured to engage the adjunct material to create a tension in the adjunct material, which can further assist with securing the frame to the jaw. In other embodiments, a removable applicator member is provided for retaining at least one adjunct material and for aligning and coupling the adjunct material to a frame.

Abstract: An example device in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a collection engine and a correlation engine to identify cooling loop characteristics. The collection engine is to collect data from devices associated with cooling loops. The correlation engine is to identify, based on the data collected, a common loop from among the cooling loops, and which of the devices are associated with the common loop.

Abstract: An adjunct material for use with an end effector in a surgical instrument is provided that has at least one projection configured to mate with a corresponding recess formed in at least one jaw, such as a cartridge or anvil, of the end effector. The at least one projection can be one or more discrete projections or longitudinal projection(s) extending between distal and proximal ends of the adjunct material. An applicator member can be used to apply force to the adjunct material to thus cause the adjunct material to mate with the jaw of the end effector. The applicator member can be configured told the adjunct material and can be clamped between the jaws of the end effector to release the adjunct material onto the jaw. Also, an applicator member can be used to push portions of an adjunct material into corresponding recesses in a jaw.

Abstract: An example device in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a sensor, a controller, and an injector. The sensor is to provide sensor output regarding fluid chemistry of a fluid of a cooling system. The controller is to identify attributes of the fluid. The injector is to inject at least one additive into the fluid to bring at least one attribute into a threshold range.

Abstract: An amorphous thin metal film can comprise a combination of three metals or metalloids including: 5 at % to 90 at % of a metalloid selected from the group of carbon, silicon, and boron; 5 at % to 90 at % of a first metal selected from the group of titanium, vanadium, chromium, iron, cobalt, nickel, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, hafnium, tantalum, tungsten, osmium, iridium, and platinum; and 1 at % to 90 at % of cerium. The three elements may account for at least 50 at % of the amorphous thin metal film.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for incorporating user content within a communication session interface. In one implementation, a processing device receives, in relation to a communication session between a first user and a second user, a communication input associated with a first user. The processing device processes the communication input to identify one or more content items stored on a content sharing platform that are associated with the first user and that pertain to one or more aspects of the communication input. The processing device modifies one or more aspects of an interface of the communication session based on the one or more content items.

Abstract: A transfer belt assembly includes a plurality of transfer belts. The transfer belt assembly is structured to move any of an increased number of shells, a very increased number of shells, or an extremely increased number of shells through said conversion press.
