Abstract: A system for producing a three-dimensional object from a fluid medium includes image processing units. The fluid medium is configured to solidify when subjected to a prescribed light stimulation. Each image processing unit includes at least one light emitting source configured to emit light, and at least one mirror system configured to reflect the light emitted by the light emitting source. The mirror system includes a manipulating system for adjusting the direction of the emitted light, a control system for controlling the manipulating system, and at least one optical element configured to manipulate the emitted light and to project the emitted light onto an area of a surface of the fluid medium to form an image on the surface. The image processing units are configured to form corresponding images on the surface, and are configured to be movable at least in a lateral direction relative to the surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to photo-polymerizable resins, methods of photo-polymerizing and foaming resins, and foamed polymeric materials. Some disclosed resins comprise: a first monomer; a second monomer; a photo-activated polymerization catalyst; and a thermally activated foaming agent. Some disclosed methods of preparing photo-polymerized and foamed materials comprise photo-polymerizing a resin with a thermally activated foaming agent to obtain a photo-polymerized polymer material; and heating the photo-polymerized polymer material at a heating temperature to obtain the photo-polymerized and foamed polymer material, wherein the thermally activated foaming agent has a foaming onset temperature, and the heating temperature is greater than or equal to the foaming onset temperature. Also disclosed are photo-polymerized and foamed materials. Further disclosed are polymeric structures having a foam.

Abstract: A system for producing a three-dimensional object from a fluid medium includes image processing units. The fluid medium is configured to solidify when subjected to a prescribed light stimulation. Each image processing unit includes at least one light emitting source configured to emit light, and at least one minor system configured to reflect the light emitted by the light emitting source. The minor system includes a manipulating system for adjusting the direction of the emitted light, a control system for controlling the manipulating system, and at least one optical element configured to manipulate the emitted light and to project the emitted light onto an area of a surface of the fluid medium to form an image on the surface.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for electronically monitoring officer context change and accumulating corresponding form completion times and providing a corresponding indication. A first context status change associated with an officer changing status is received. One or more corresponding particular information forms are identified via access to an electronically stored status to form mapping. A particular time required by the officer to complete the one or more particular information forms is determined via access to an electronically stored time completion indication associated with each of the one or more particular information forms. A total forms completion accumulation value is determined. The total form completion accumulation value particularly associated with the officer is provided to the officer and/or a dispatcher.

Abstract: Remote configuration of network interface cards (NICs) on appliances of a scaleable compute resource such as a frame-based system is disclosed. Frames may include a frame link module (FLM). Remote configuration of NICs may allow for multiple networks to be maintained in physical or logical isolation from each other. For example, a management data network may be maintained independently of an application data network. An FLM CPU may detect an appliance, validate compatibility for the appliance, a midplane, a PHY connection, etc. Commands from the FLM CPU may configure the independent networks. Independent networks may provide redundancy and segregation by data type. A controller area network (CAN) bus may deliver configuration commands to a NIC of an attached appliance. Air gap equivalent isolation of networks based on type of network may be achieved while maintaining redundancy of networks to address potential failure of individual components.
