Publication number: 20210094233Abstract: A 3D printing system comprises a pressure system to provide a negative pressure and a hopper having a first opening to receive powder to be used for printing, wherein the powder is received in an open state of the first opening. The hopper has a second opening to guide air from outside the hopper to inside the hopper and has a third opening connected to the pressure system so as to provide for a negative pressure inside the hopper, the negative pressure to overcompensate for the air receive through the second opening such that a pressure being lower when compared to an ambient pressure of the hopper is generated inside the hopper.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2018Publication date: April 1, 2021Inventors: Randall WEST, Justin M.

Patent number: 10621203Abstract: In embodiments, systems and methods may involve using a platform as disclosed herein for applications described herein where the systems and methods involve receiving a dataset in an analytic platform, the dataset including fact data and dimension data for a plurality of distinct product categories. It may also involve storing the data in a flexible hierarchy, the hierarchy allowing the temporary fixing of data along a dimension and flexible querying along other dimensions of the data. It may also involve pre-aggregating certain combinations of data to facilitate rapid querying, the pre-aggregation based on the nature of common queries. It may also involve facilitating the presentation of a cross-category view of an analytic query of the dataset. In embodiments, the temporarily fixed dimension can be rendered flexible upon an action by the user.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2008Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Information Resources, Inc.Inventors: Herbert Dennis Hunt, John Randall West, Marshall Ashby Gibbs, Jr., Bradley Michael Griglione, Gregory David Neil Hudson, Andrea Basilico, Arvid Conrad Johnson, Cheryl G.
