  • Patent number: 11958250
    Abstract: An additive manufacturing apparatus can include a stage configured to hold one or more cured layers of resin that form a component. A radiant energy device can be operable to generate and project radiant energy in a patterned image. An actuator can be configured to change a relative position of the stage relative to the radiant energy device. A reclamation system can be downstream of the stage and can be configured to remove at least a portion of the resin from a resin support. The reclamation system can include a first collection structure configured to accept a resin support therethrough along a resin support movement direction. A first scraper is positioned within the first collection structure. The first scraper has an elongation axis that is offset from the resin support movement direction by an offset angle that is less than 90 degrees.

  • Publication number: 20240086569
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for identifying unauthorized use of a user's authentication credentials to an electronic network based on non-public data access. The present invention is configured to receive a verified access attempt at a first time for a user account; receive an unverified access attempt at a second time for the user account; determine the unverified access attempt is a credential sharing event for the user account; determine the user account is an internal account; determine an unverified user associated with the unverified access attempt is an external user; receive unverified account access logs associated with the unverified access attempt, the unverified account access logs comprising access to non-public data; and generate an unverified data access interface component to configure a graphical user interface of a device associated with a manager of the system.

  • Publication number: 20230310041
    Abstract: A plate system includes a retention cap and a plate. The retention cap includes a head with tangs and a shank. The shank includes protrusions at an end of the shank and relief cut-outs clocked relative to the protrusions. The plate includes screw holes and a locking feature. The locking feature includes an assembly guide adapted to guide the shank and features thereof into the locking feature, locking detents distal to the top surface of the plate and adapted to receive the protrusions and interfere with rotational movement of the retention cap, and a retainer positioned axially between the assembly guide and the locking detents. The retainer is adapted to prevent axial movement of the retention cap. The locking feature is adapted to hold the retention cap with the tangs overlapping the screw holes and with the tangs not overlapping the screw holes.

  • Patent number: 11673820
    Abstract: A hybrid membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) and activated sludge (AS) system and process are described herein. At least a portion of the AS system includes aerobic mixed liquor, for example in an aerobic tank or zone downstream of a tank or zone containing membrane aerated biofilm modules. The flow of air to the membrane aerated biofilm is modulated considering the ammonia loading rate to the system or to the aerobic mixed liquor, for example according to a diurnal cycle. For example, air flow to the membrane supported biofilm can be below an average or initial air flow rate during a period of low ammonia loading. Air flow to the aerobic mixed liquor may remain essentially constants during the same period. Optionally, mixed liquor around the membrane aerated biofilm modules may be aerated during a period of high ammonia loading.

  • Publication number: 20220198933
    Abstract: This invention relates to systems and methods that provide compensation for participants in a cooperative driving or autonomous driving platoon based on their role within said platoon. Certain roles in these types of platoons provide a natural benefit. Other roles in the same platoon provide either less of a benefit, zero benefit or a burden. It is unlikely that a participating vehicle would willingly choose a role with a lesser benefit or burden; thereby significantly reducing the probability that a platoon could form. The system and methods within this invention overcome that economic disincentive; thereby removing an obstacle to cooperative driving or autonomous platoons.
