Abstract: Techniques for improved efficiency of sintering in additive fabrication are described. According to some aspects, mechanisms for depositing and leveling source material are combined with a mechanism for heating the material. In some embodiments, one or more heating elements may be arranged to lead and/or follow a material deposition mechanism such that heat may be applied to the build region in concert with deposition of material. As a result of this technique, the heating and depositing steps may be performed closer together in time and/or heat may be applied more directly to the material than in conventional systems. As a result, greater control over material temperature may be achieved, thereby avoiding excess temperature exposure and subsequent undesirable changes to the material.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods of automatically generating unique content including natural language text based on a corpus of previously generated response documents and discrete requirements defined in a requirements specification. The system may use generative stitching that includes multi-layer processes that execute to influence the generation of unique content including natural language text through an artificial intelligence (AI) language transformer model trained to output the content based on previously written material that is semantically relevant to the discrete requirements and is weighted against labeled attributes. The labeled attributes may determine the influence asserted against the language transformer, thereby generating unique on-target content that may be combined to create a computer-generated response document.

Abstract: Generating luminance uniformity in a rear projection display system is provided. The method comprises calculating luminance generated by a projector on a rear projection screen relative to a design eye position in front of the screen. A baseline luminance is determined for each primary color according to the luminance. Luminance of all locations on the screen is corrected toward the baseline. Correction is allocated between an optical filter and electronic correction. Luminance is measured at calibration points on the screen. The electronic correction for a color image is adjusted according to the allocation and the luminance at the calibration points to produce a corrected color image for projection from the projector. The corrected color image is projected from the projector and through the optical filter. The optical filter is configured to dim specified areas within the corrected color image according to the allocation.
