  • Publication number: 20200406530
    Abstract: An additive manufacturing device is provided and includes a housing, a printing bed, a printing head and a controller. The printing bed is rotatably disposed in the housing and includes a surface and a body. The body defines an air conduit terminating at an open end at the surface and is fluidly communicative with an exterior of the housing. The printing head is movably disposed in the housing and configured to print molten glass material onto the printing bed at a location corresponding to the open end of the air conduit. The controller is configured to control movements and printing operations of the printing head, rotations of the printing bed and airflow to the molten glass material through the air conduit.

  • Publication number: 20200406555
    Abstract: A texturizer is provided and includes an extension arm and fine and gross motor controllers. The fine motor controller includes a heating element, one or more texturizing tools and a fine motor which is operable to control respective positions and orientations of the heating element and the one or more texturizing tools. The gross motor controller is interposed between the extension arm and the fine motor controller and is operable to control a position and an orientation of the fine motor controller relative to the extension arm.

  • Publication number: 20200406541
    Abstract: An additive manufacturing device is provided and includes a printing material source, a printing head and a temperature control system. The printing material source is configured to contain a supply of printing material. The printing head is receptive of the printing material from the printing material source and is configured to print an object with the printing material. The temperature control system is coupled to the printing head and is configured to adjust a temperature of the printing material during printing to cause state changes of the printing material resulting in the printing material being one of soluble and insoluble in a solvent.

  • Patent number: 10850864
    Abstract: The present general inventive concept relates to a system of method having an electronic flight display that meets the FAR 23.1311(b) regulatory requirement for redundant backup instruments in the cockpit. The present general inventive concept also provides a system and method to detect failures, obstructions, or improper operation of the aircraft pitot pressure sensing system using a combination of dissimilar sensor data that is independent from each other, e.g., allocated from different sources and employed for different purposes on different displays, and displays information on an avionics display screen.

  • Patent number: 10831475
    Abstract: Assessing portability of source code based on predictions from a learning model trained with historical outputs from a portability analyzer. A request is received as input to assess portability of source code from a source environment to at least one target environment. The learning model is applied to the source code to predict a level of portability of the source code to the at least one target environment. Results from a portability analyzer that are based on the level of portability predicted by the learning model include a confidence measure associated with one or more portions of the source code indicating the ease of portability of the one or more portions of the source code to each of the at least one target environments.

  • Publication number: 20200256702
    Abstract: The present general inventive concept relates to methods and systems to select and display information on an avionics display screen. The systems and methods allow for the selection and display of information using knobs to highlight and select the desired information for display, eliminating the need for a cursor function. The systems and methods also provide for multiple pages and/or multiple windows or “tiles” within these pages and/or windows simultaneously on a single screen of a display, with each window, page, and/or tile being fully controlled independently when selected. The present general inventive concept also relates to systems and methods to provide multiple cues on an electronic display system altitude tape to a pilot in advance and impending approach to a predefined altitude. The present general inventive concept also relates to systems and methods to employ variable resolution topographical data based on display range for an avionics navigation display.
