  • Patent number: 11914341
    Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-assisted method for generating a control data set for an additive layer manufacturing device. In a first step, a layer data set is accessed, wherein points are marked in the data model which correspond to an object cross-section and at which the bid-up material should be solidified. In a second step, the layer data set is modified in such a way that for at least a portion of the object cross-section, the number of beams required for solidifying the build-up material inside said portion is determined preferably automatically, according to quality specifications of the portion and/or a manufacturing time of the object. In a third step, the modified layer data set is provided as a control data set for the additive layer manufacturing device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10348783
    Abstract: A meeting server receives shared content from a presenter device in an online conference session with one or more attendee devices. The meeting server generates one or more digital watermarks corresponding to the one or more attendee devices. Each respective digital watermark includes an indication of the presenter device and an indication of a respective attendee device. The meeting server transmits the shared content with the respective digital watermark to the respective attendee device as part of the online conference session. The respective digital watermark is visible in the shared content displayed on the respective attendee device.
