  • Patent number: 11975484
    Abstract: Freeform, additive manufacturing equipment, processes and products, including residential, commercial and other buildings. A movable extruder places extrudate that solidifies in open space to create “scaffolding” or “skeletons” of buildings and other products. Elongated extrudate elements are fused to each other or connected by other means to form a cellular structure. Filler material such as polymeric insulating foam may simultaneously or thereafter be placed within the cellular structure to contribute desired strength, rigidity, insulative, barrier or other properties. Finish materials may also be applied.

  • Patent number: 7593198
    Abstract: A switching circuit for connecting a power source to a load is described. The circuit comprises a first relay and at least one second relay in parallel arrangement with the first relay. The switching circuit is arranged such that in the event of a fault condition occurring that requires the disconnection of the power source from the load, the at least one second relay opens while the first relay remains closed. In this manner, a reliable disconnection of the load from the switching circuit is achieved.

  • Patent number: 7225264
    Abstract: Systems and methods for, inter alia, allowing a remote user to access content, such as data or an executable program, on demand from a remoter server. When accessed the content can be delivered on demand to the user's remote workstation for use by the user. As network resources may vary, the systems described herein further include systems that will monitor network resources, and other factors, versus the transfer demands for the content requested by the user. The systems may then determine a schedule, or load map, for transferring blocks of the content in a way that efficiently employs the available resources, and in a way that provides the user with a user-experience that is similar, or substantially similar, to the user-experience that the user would have if the content were stored locally on the user's workstation.
