  • Patent number: 11127192
    Abstract: In some embodiments, techniques are provided for analyzing the manufacturability or fabricability of objects based on segmented designs. In some embodiments, a scanning device scans a manufacturing device and/or an object manufactured by the manufacturing device to characterize a manufacturing capability of the manufacturing device. A paintbrush pattern may be determined based on the characterization, and a proposed design may be determined to be fabricable or non-fabricable using the paintbrush pattern.

  • Publication number: 20210271782
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method of ensuring fabricability of a segmented design for a physical device to be fabricated by a fabrication system is provided. A proposed segmented design is searched for forbidden patterns in a set of forbidden patterns. Segments from the proposed segmented design that appear in forbidden patterns are added to a set of unfabricable segments. A material indicated by at least one unfabricable segment from the set of unfabricable segments is changed to create an updated segmented design, and the updated segmented design is searched for the forbidden patterns in the set of forbidden patterns. In response to determining that the updated segmented design includes at least one forbidden pattern, the adding, changing, and searching actions are repeated. In response to determining that the updated segmented design does not include any forbidden patterns, an indication is generated that the updated segmented design is fabricable.

  • Publication number: 20210191360
    Abstract: In some embodiments, techniques are provided for verifying that a fabrication system can fabricate a proposed segmented design. A paintbrush pattern that represents capabilities of the fabrication system is determined. One or more forbidden patterns that the fabrication system is not capable of fabricating are determined based on the paintbrush pattern. The proposed segmented design is then searched for the forbidden patterns. If any forbidden patterns are found, the proposed segmented design is determined to not be fabricable by the fabrication system. If no forbidden patterns are found, then the proposed segmented design is determined to be fabricable by the fabrication system.

  • Publication number: 20210138000
    Abstract: Microbiota restoration therapy (MRT) compositions (e.g., oral MRT compositions) and methods for manufacturing MRT compositions are disclosed. An example method for manufacturing an MRT composition may include collecting a stool sample, purifying the stool sample to form a purified sample, stabilizing the purified sample to form a stabilized sample, converting the stabilized sample to a solid, adding one or more additives and/or excipients to the solid to form a treatment composition, and encapsulating the treatment composition.

  • Publication number: 20210072480
    Abstract: A cable management system includes a cap that cooperates with a housing to enclose a connection between a first cable and a second cable. The cap defines a first port and a second port through which cables extend into the housing. A base is to be coupled to the cap. The base includes a first clamp that protrudes from a surface of the base and maintains an alignment of a portion of the first cable with the first port. The base also includes a base interlock portion. A first cable guide, separate from the base, is to be installed on the cap to maintain an alignment of a portion of the second cable. The first cable guide includes a second clamp, and a first cable guide interlock portion that cooperates with the base interlock portion to interfere with separation of the first cable guide from the base.

  • Publication number: 20210071737
    Abstract: A clamp, and cable management system including the clamp, includes a bolster with a first clamping surface, and a keeper that is to be coupled to the bolster. The keeper is adjustable relative to the bolster to establish a first separation of the keeper from the first clamping surface of the bolster, and a second separation of the keeper from the first clamping surface of the bolster. The first separation is different from the second separation. The keeper includes a second clamping surface configured to cooperate with a first object having a first exterior dimension, and a third clamping surface, different from the second clamping surface, that is configured to cooperate with a second object having a second exterior dimension.

  • Publication number: 20210050023
    Abstract: A system for determining prioritisation values for two or more sounds within an audio clip includes: a feature extraction unit operable to extract characteristic features from the two or more sounds, a feature combination unit operable to generate a combined mix comprising extracted features from the two or more sounds, an audio assessment unit operable to identify the contribution of one or more of the features to the combined mix, a feature classification unit operable to assign a saliency score to each of the features in the combined mix, and an audio prioritisation unit operable to determine relative priority values for the two or more sounds in dependence upon the assigned saliency scores for each of one or more features of the sounds.

  • Patent number: 10820275
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a data communication device and method for recording and transmitting data concerning conditions within or pertaining to a transportation container, such as a controlled environment transportation container. The communication device includes a processor, a memory, a port for receiving the data, a first power source, a communication module operatively coupled to the first power source, and a computer program stored in the memory. The program is operative, when executed on the processor, to store the received data in the memory and to cause the communication module to periodically power on, attempt for a specified time period to establish a network connection, and in the event of a successful connection, communicate data stored in the memory over the network, and to power off. The processor independently operates to switch between sleep and active modes in accordance with a system timer or receipt of data, and to determine whether the communication module is to be activated.
