  • Publication number: 20240066798
    Abstract: A 3D printer includes a gantry configured to move in a plane substantially parallel to a x-y build plane and a print head configured to extrude molten material to print a 3D part in a layer-by-layer process. The 3D printer includes a platen configured to support the part being printed in the layer by layer process and positionable with a primary Z positioner along a z-axis substantially normal to the x-y build plane. The 3D printer includes a local Z positioner moved by the gantry, the local Z positioner comprising a linear motor configured to move the print head in the z-direction and having an operable range of motion extending from a nominal build position at which a nozzle of the print head is positioned in the x-y build plane to a raised position above the x-y build plane.

  • Patent number: 11374832
    Abstract: Various examples are described for the integration and customization of third-party applications and services with computing infrastructure of a data center. One or more computing devices can maintain a remote computing environment for an enterprise that provides at least one remote computing service on behalf of the enterprise. A portal can be provided that is configured to, from an entity not associated with the remote computing environment, receive a specification of information associated with one of a plurality of third-party services and compatibility criteria of the one of the third-party services. Existing infrastructure used by the remote computing environment in providing the at least one remote computing service is identified. Third-party services that are compatible with the existing infrastructure is identified and presented in a console in association with operation of the remote computing environment.

  • Patent number: 10711159
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides chemical mechanical polishing compositions that achieve minimal dishing at reduced dishing reducer (DR) levels when compared to known CMP compositions. The compositions of the disclosure include a dynamic surface tension reducer (DSTR) which allows for lower levels of dishing reducer in the compositions. Indeed, the compositions of the disclosure allow for lower levels of dishing reducer to achieve the same dishing as known compositions having higher levels of dishing reducer. Deleterious effects of high DR levels are thereby avoided or minimized when employing the compositions of the disclosure.
