  • Publication number: 20250128474
    Abstract: Additive manufacturing systems and associated methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the additive manufacturing includes a build chamber that has a central portion and a peripheral portion, a support platform positioned in the central portion and a recoater arm movable in a lateral direction over the support platform. While moving, the recoater arm spreads a powder over the central portion during a build. The additive manufacturing system also includes a powder recycling system positioned to redirect excess amounts of the powder during the build. For example, the powder recycling system can include a powder receptacle positioned the second region of the peripheral portion and a recycling element positioned at least partially in the powder receptacle. The recycling element is movable between a first position abutting an overflow space in the powder receptacle to receive the excess powder and a second position closer to the central portion.

  • Publication number: 20250100519
    Abstract: A system for multiple brakes intelligently controlled by a single brake input on a personal mobility vehicle. By determining a front and rear brake differential based on the position and weight of the rider as well as the environmental and vehicle conditions, the system may reduce the risk of the vehicle skidding or tipping due to over-braking. In some embodiments, a rider may use a single brake lever to indicate a desire to brake and the system may make determinations about how to apply a combination of mechanical and electrical brakes to front and back wheels. By applying different braking systems based on a combination of controls and sensors, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.

  • Publication number: 20250048070
    Abstract: This application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus. The method performed by a relay terminal includes: determining that a network accessed by the relay terminal supports an emergency service, and sending a first message for a remote terminal discovering the relay terminal. The first message is a first discovery message including a relay service code corresponding to the emergency service; or the first message is a response message to a second discovery message including a relay service code corresponding to the emergency service from the remote terminal. This method can ensure that a network accessed by a relay terminal participating in a relay discovery procedure of the emergency service supports the emergency service, thereby ensuring that a relay terminal selected by a remote terminal that expects to access the emergency service can provide a relay service for the emergency service.
