Abstract: Embodiments are described for forming regions of varying porosity within an additive manufacturing (AM) object through selective deposition of a binding agent during fabrication. Upon sintering, the selectively applied binding agent forms stochastic regions of porosity within the object that are not externally visible. In some implementations, embedded porous regions are selectively generated to form an identifier region that can be used as a unique part identification tag identifiable through non-destructive evaluation. The identifier tag may be useful in anti-counterfeiting security for parts fabricated through binding agent jetting (BT) and other additive manufacturing techniques.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for encoding the signal using a window-based partitioned sequence of literals and then operating over this sequence to determine relevant periodic artifacts. A signal can be received, and then the signal can be abstracted to a sequence of literals. Repeating sub-sequences of literals can be identified in windows of time that increase in width until a repeating sub-sequence is found. Once a repeating sub-sequence is found, the window of time is shifted, and the process repeated. Once the temporal variations of the artifacts are known for the signal, the reference voltage at each of the time periods can be found by resampling the signal in different windows of time, finding temporary reference voltages that are means of samples in each window, determining the reference voltages for each time period, and then determining the DC reference based on a median of the list of reference values.
