  • Publication number: 20200282652
    Abstract: In one example, a pneumatic transport system to transport build material in an additive manufacturing machine includes a conduit, a source of air pressure to pull or push a stream of air through the conduit, a source of build material to introduce a build material into the stream of air, a separator to remove build material from the stream of air, a flow meter downstream from the separator to measure the stream of air flowing through the conduit, and a controller operatively connected to the flow meter and to the source of air pressure and/or the sources of build material to, based on a measurement from the flow meter, adjust a rate of flow of the stream of air in the conduit.

  • Patent number: 7984178
    Abstract: An apparatus has a content node to logically select a first A/V stream from an application layer of a first network and a collaboration node to logically select a second A/V stream from an application layer of a second network. A set of non-network media link interfaces are configured to transmit the second A/V stream from the collaboration node to the content node, and to transmit the first A/V stream from content node to the collaboration node. The non-network media link interfaces provide for limited information encoding to prevent network protocol information from being transferred between the first and second networks.

  • Patent number: 7730200
    Abstract: A method of creating a synthetic bridge (100) has select data (406) logically extracted from an application layer of a first network (12A) which contains one or more first data streams to be transported to a second network (12B). Select data (406) is logically extracted from an application layer of the second network (12B). Select data (406) is logically extracted from an application layer of the second network (12B) which contains one or more second data streams to be transported to the first network (12A). The two or more first and second data streams are transported over separate sets of non-network media link interfaces (130-133) that only allow for limited information encoding and inherently prevent any network protocol information from being passed with the two or more first and second data streams until after the two or more first and second data streams are in the control of the opposite network from which they were transported.
