  • Publication number: 20250033284
    Abstract: Pressure Delivered 3D Dynamic Printing (PD3DP) comprise 3D printing wherein the polymerizable material (typically a resin) is delivered under positive pressure as each layer of a target object is built/printed. Such positive pressure can be applied intermittently and even reversed to provide a cyclical application of the pressure to assist delivery of the resin, placement of the resin at locations suitable for the shape of the target object, curing of the resin, and releasing of the target object from the projection place between printing of successive layers.

  • Patent number: 12204453
    Abstract: The described technologies enable a computing device to allocate at least a portion of its persistent memory as volatile memory during runtime. At least some implementations create a file in the persistent memory of the computing device. The file is created in the persistent memory of the computing device during runtime of a virtual machine (VM) hosted by the computing device. The file may be allocated to the VM. The file allocated to the VM may be used as volatile memory. For example, the VM may use the file to store temporary data (e.g., volatile data). In some implementations, the temporary data is associated with an application executing in the VM.
