  • Publication number: 20240139820
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides three-dimensional (3D) printing systems, apparatuses, software, and methods for the production of at least one requested 3D object. The 3D printer includes a material conveyance system, filtering system, and/or an unpacking station. The material conveyance system may transport pre-transformed material (e.g., powder) against gravity. The 3D printing described herein facilitated reducing interruptions of (e.g., providing non interrupted) (ii) material recycling, and/or (i) material dispensing through a component of the 3D printer such as a layer dispenser. The material conveyance system may operate above ambient pressure, e.g., while performing a suction operation. The present disclosure provides three-dimensional (3D) printing processes, apparatuses, software, and systems for controlling and/or treating gas and gas borne debris in an atmosphere of a 3D printer.

  • Patent number: 11909584
    Abstract: Particular embodiments may detect, by a core network, a change in network traffic types from a first network traffic type to a second network traffic type. The core network includes one or more network functionality components. Each of the one or more network functionality components is decomposed into multiple service types. The core network may determine several service instances for deployment in response to the change in the network traffic types. Each of the service instances may belong to one of the multiple decomposed service types. The core network may deploy several service instances to one or more server machines of the core network according to a decomposed service type of a respective service instance.

  • Patent number: 11853339
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of a system, techniques and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that enable the selection of a response document template for generating an appropriate response to notification document. Respective components may generate an electronic document from the notification document. A common theme between two or more of the electronic documents may be identified. The electronic documents identified as having the common theme may be grouped in a notification document corpus. The notification document corpus may be analyzed with reference to received notification documents stored in a document repository. Based on results of the analysis, a template of a notification response document appropriate for responding to a specific notification document received by the enterprise may be selected. The selected response document template may be forwarded to a client device for further processing.
