  • Publication number: 20200252362
    Abstract: An interface is provided for controlling transfer of electronic transaction messages between a financial institution and switches distributed amongst a plurality of switch sites. The financial institution and the switches are connected via a data communications network. Communication circuitry is operable to transmit a test message to one of the switch sites over the data network if no transaction message is received from that switch site for a predetermined time. And, in response to the test message, the communication circuitry is operable to receive an echo of the test message from the switch site. If the echo is received within a defined time, processing circuitry is operable to then set the operational status of the switch site as operational, and if the echo is not received within the defined time, the operational status of the switch site is set as not operational.

  • Patent number: 10604928
    Abstract: An extendable and retractable column which is formed from at least three linked sections or chains. The linked sections include a plurality of individual segments linked end to end. As the linked segments are extended, each of the individual segments of the linked chains engage individual segments of adjacent linked sections to form a column. As the linked sections are retracted, each of the individual segments of the linked sections disengage from the individual segment of the adjacent linked sections and the individual linked sections may be rolled up into a multi-sided form for compact storage.

  • Publication number: 20200001522
    Abstract: A cutting assembly and a cutter are provided, wherein, in an apparatus for additive manufacturing with a filament, a deposition head has a body and an applicator for fixing a run of filament to a surface at a deposition location ending at a deposition termination point. The cutter assembly has a fixation element for fixing the cutter assembly relative to the deposition head, and a cutter movable relative to the fixation element. The deposition head has a deposition termination configuration and a cutting configuration, and after fixing the run of filament, the deposition head transitions from the deposition termination configuration to the cutting configuration. The cutter cuts the filament only when the deposition head is in the cutting configuration.

  • Publication number: 20190322041
    Abstract: In a 3D-printing system, a deposition head comprising a band assembly having a body and a band for compacting a filament onto the surface of an object being manufactured. One or more actuators are mounted on the assembly body at a front mounting point or a rear mounting point, or both, and are used to shape the band to a desired contour. The band is made of a flexible material, and has a first and second connecting point, wherein at least one of them is connected to the one or more actuators. The intermediate portion of the band between the connecting points is curved toward the surface of the object being manufactured to enable the portion to come into contact with and to compact the filament onto the object. The band assembly further comprises a compaction support extending from the assembly body toward an inward-facing surface of the band.

One or more actuators are mounted on the assembly body and are used to shape the band to a desired contour. The band is connected to the one or more actuators, is curved toward the surface of the object to enable contact with the surface, and is capable of being driven along its length by one or more drive wheels that are under the control of a controller. The drive wheels are configured to advance the band along its length by a first distance and in response to a first signal from the controller. The controller provides the first signal based on an estimate of thermoplastic build-up on a portion of the band that overlaps the point of compaction.
