  • Publication number: 20240140024
    Abstract: Methods of creating additive manufactured parts include selectively dispensing, in a shape area according to a layer of a part to be created by additive manufacturing, a second composition onto a top surface of a first composition in a vat, wherein a polymerization component is in the second composition. In some cases, polymerization components for formation of the layer are kept separate from each other until the dispensing. In some cases, a first polymerization component is in the first composition, and a second polymerization component is in the second composition. The top surface is illuminated to expose the first composition and the second composition to light having a polymerization wavelength, thereby causing polymerization of the layer of the part only in the shape area. The dispensing comprises customizing a reaction variable of the polymerization to customize reaction kinetics in different portions of the shape area.

  • Publication number: 20240129149
    Abstract: An example apparatus disclosed herein is to receive network data communicated via a first channel associated with the online collaboration session, the network data including received media data packets. The disclosed example apparatus is also to analyze the network data to determine first loopback data, the first loopback data including at least one of a first quality score based on a first analysis of the received media data packets or a second quality score based on a second analysis of media decoded from the received media data packets. The disclosed example apparatus is also to analyze local data obtained by a local client during the online collaboration session to determine second loopback data. The disclosed example apparatus is further to cause transmission of a loopback message to a moderator client via the second channel, the loopback message based on the first loopback data and the second loopback data.

  • Patent number: 8791052
    Abstract: A rotating machine includes a stator and a rotor configured to rotate within the stator. Rotor windings are supported in the rotor and are formed of a laminated electrical conductor in a single-layer saddle coil configuration. The conductor includes a first support lamina, a second support lamina, an insert including a high temperature superconductor disposed between the first and second support lamina, and a filler material surrounding the insert that bonds the insert to each of the first and second support lamina. At the location between the first support lamina and second support lamina corresponding to the location of the insert, the width dimension of the filler material on each side of the insert is at least 10 percent of a width of the conductor. The conductor is configured to carry at least 600 Amperes per turn and have a C-axis tensile strength of at least 21 MPa.

  • Patent number: 8680015
    Abstract: A method includes locating a defect in a first segment of high temperature superconducting wire. A second segment of high temperature superconducting wire is then positioned onto the first segment of high temperature superconducting wire such that the second segment of high temperature superconducting wire overlaps the defect. A path is then created such that current flows through the second segment of high temperature superconducting wire. The first segment of high temperature superconducting wire and second segment of high temperature superconducting wire are then laminated together.

  • Publication number: 20040245163
    Abstract: A device, system, kit, and method are provided for filtering relatively large volumes of whole blood to recover purified RNA for analysis. The device can include: a filter including a body having an interior, a first filter connector in communication with the interior of the body, a ribonucleic acid-capturing (RNA-capturing) membrane disposed within the interior, and an optional filter frit disposed within the interior adjacent the RNA-capturing membrane. The system can include a vacuum adapter plate including a substrate having a first surface, a second surface, and one or more through-holes each extending at least from the first surface to the second surface. The first filter connector can connect to a respective through-hole to form a fluid communication between the filter and the vacuum adapter plate. The system can include a collection vessel in fluid communication with the filter.

  • Patent number: 6738502
    Abstract: The present invention provides an instrument and methods for a multispectral optical technique that can simultaneously classify individual biological cells within mixed populations. This invention, known as Multispectral Taxonomic Identification (MTID), shows that microscopy can be combined with a software analysis program to measure and categorize the fluorescence and other spectroscopically identifiable signals from complex populations of cells in situ, without cultivation. The invention thus enables high-throughput screening of cells for taxonomic classification.
