  • Publication number: 20230112189
    Abstract: Described herein are examples of methods that include receiving, at a communications relay, a first electronic communication from a third party device. The methods also include determining a sender identity associated with the first electronic communication. The methods include storing, on an electronic data storage unit associated with the sender identity, a communication digest of the first electronic communication associated with the sender identify; generating, at the communication relay, a unified network interface for accessing a set of electronic communications directed to the customer. The method includes providing, to the customer via a network, access to the unified network interface.

  • Patent number: 11411930
    Abstract: Described herein are examples of communications relays. Systems, methods, and storage media may: receive, at a processing device of a communications server including a networking device configured to enable electronic communication by the processing device with a user device and a third party device via a communications service, an inbound communication from the third party device; determine, using the processing device, a sender identity associated with the inbound communication; create, using the processing device, an inbound communication digest of the inbound communication; store, using the processing device, the sender identity and the inbound communication digest on an electronic data storage unit; recast, using the processing device, the inbound communication to a relayed inbound communication including the inbound communication and the sender identity; and send, using the processing device, the relayed inbound communication to the user device.

  • Patent number: 10399131
    Abstract: A compound roll includes a sintered inner core of a first cemented carbide and at least one sintered outer sleeve of a second cemented carbide disposed around the inner core. The outer sleeve and inner core each have a joining surface, wherein when the inner core and outer sleeve are assembled each joining surface contact to form a bonding interface therebetween. When the assembled, sintered inner core and outer sleeve are heated to a predetermined temperature the sintered inner core and outer sleeve are fused together at the bonding interface to form the unitary compound roll. To reduce the overall cost of the compound roll, a lower cost cemented carbide, or a cemented carbide with a lower density can be used for the inner core and fused to an outer sleeve of a virgin cemented carbide, thereby reducing the powder cost and/or reducing the overall mass of the compound roll.

  • Publication number: 20190184643
    Abstract: A blank is manufactured by additive layer manufacturing. The blank is made up of a part, a tool, and a connection member connecting the tool to the part, which are all integrally formed during the build from the same build material. The connection member can be cut or broken to disconnect the tool from the part which enables the tool to be used to mechanically remove surface build material from the surface of the part.

  • Publication number: 20060046282
    Abstract: A method for preparing a microarray that includes placing at least one template over a first surface of the recipient block, wherein the template defines an array of openings and the recipient block has a plurality of receptacle holes, such that the array of openings are aligned with the plurality of receptacle holes. A needle or punch that contains a sample is inserted through the openings of the template. The sample then is inserted into the receptacle hole in the recipient block. A device is also disclosed that includes a platform defining (i) a first surface, and (ii) a first region configured to retain at least one recipient block; and a raised template defining an array of openings, secured to the first surface of the platform and positioned above the first region configured to retain the recipient block.
