  • Patent number: 12551972
    Abstract: A temperature control method for additive manufacturing includes directing an energy beam of a first energy source toward a material and fusing at least a portion of the material to form a cladding layer, forging the cladding layer with a micro-forging device, and detecting a first internal effect parameter of the cladding layer at a forging position where is forged by the micro-forging device. The first internal effect parameter includes at least one of a stress or a strain of the cladding layer. The method also includes calculating a first calculated temperature of the cladding layer at the forging position based on the first internal effect parameter and adjusting the at least one of the first energy source and the micro forging device if the first calculated temperature does not fall within a desired temperature range.

  • Publication number: 20190382898
    Abstract: A fluid conduit (10) is provided having (a) a fluid conduit exterior surface (14); (b) a fluid conduit interior surface (16); (c) an electroless nickel protective coating (18) disposed upon one or both of the fluid conduit interior surface and the fluid conduit exterior surface; and (d) a layer (20) of Ni3S2 disposed upon and substantially covering the electroless nickel protective coating. The fluid conduit can be any fluid conduit through which a fluid may be caused to pass, such as a downhole tubular used in oil and gas production, or a gas liquid cyclonic separator. And a hydrocarbon production tube, a method of producing a fluid conduit comprising a nickel sulfide protective layer, a machine component comprising at least one surface having a protective outer layer are provided. The combination of the electroless nickel inner protective coating with an outer layer of Ni3S2 affords articles such as fluid conduits and machine components with exceptional scale and corrosion resistance.

  • Publication number: 20150121316
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention disclose a method for unlocking a touch-sensitive device and a touch-sensitive device, which resolves a problem that a user always performs unlocking by inputting a default password or by using a default preset graphical interaction interface of the touch-sensitive device, which is monotonous and uninteresting. The method includes: receiving, by the touch-sensitive device, a second unlocking manner input by a user; and unlocking itself by the touch-sensitive device if the second unlocking manner is the same as a first unlocking manner, where the first unlocking manner is preset by the user according to an unlocking feature, and the unlocking feature is position-related and is preset by the user. The present invention is applicable to unlocking a touch-sensitive device having a touchscreen, such as a touchscreen mobile phone or a tablet computer.
