  • CONTROL OF USED BUILD MATERIAL PARTICLE RECLAMATION OPERATIONS
    Publication number: 20210023790
    Abstract: According to examples, a processor of an apparatus may access a plurality of measurement values corresponding to build material particles reclaimed from a build chamber during a period of time in which a reclamation operation is performed. The plurality of measurement values may be determined at a first hopper of the reclaimed build material particles as the build material particles are reclaimed from the build chamber and received into the first hopper. The processor may also calculate variances among the plurality of measurement values, determine whether a calculated variance of the calculated variances falls below a predetermined threshold value, and based on a determination that the calculated variance falls below the predetermined threshold value, stop the reclamation operation.

  • Systems and methods for analog finite impulse response filters
    Patent number: 10903820
    Abstract: Systems and methods for analog finite impulse response (FIR) filters are provided. In certain embodiments, a receiver includes a cascade of a mixer, an analog FIR filter, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). By including the analog FIR filter along the signal path between the mixer and the ADC, design constraints of the ADC are relaxed. For example, the ADC can operate with relaxed specifications with respect to resolution and/or dynamic range when the analog FIR filter is included. The analog FIR filter can include a controllable transconductance circuit that delivers an integration current to a capacitor over an integration period, with the analog FIR filter's coefficients used to change the transconductance setting of the controllable transconductance circuit to different values over the integration period.

  • Buffered freepointer management memory system
    Patent number: 10901887
    Abstract: A system and method of buffered freepointer management to handle burst traffic to fixed size structures in an external memory system. A circular queue stores implicitly linked free memory locations, along with an explicitly linked list in memory. The queue is updated at the head with newly released locations, and new locations from memory are added at the tail. When a freed location in the queue is reused, external memory need not be updated. When the queue is full, the system attempts to release some of the freepointers such as by dropping them if they are already linked, updating the linked list in memory only if those dropped are not already linked. Latency can be further reduced by loading new locations from memory when the queue is nearly empty, rather than waiting for empty condition, and by writing unlinked locations to memory when the queue is nearly full.
