  • Patent number: 11958250
    Abstract: An additive manufacturing apparatus can include a stage configured to hold one or more cured layers of resin that form a component. A radiant energy device can be operable to generate and project radiant energy in a patterned image. An actuator can be configured to change a relative position of the stage relative to the radiant energy device. A reclamation system can be downstream of the stage and can be configured to remove at least a portion of the resin from a resin support. The reclamation system can include a first collection structure configured to accept a resin support therethrough along a resin support movement direction. A first scraper is positioned within the first collection structure. The first scraper has an elongation axis that is offset from the resin support movement direction by an offset angle that is less than 90 degrees.

  • Patent number: 11951679
    Abstract: An additive manufacturing apparatus can include a stage configured to hold a component formed by one or more layers of resin. A support plate can be positioned above the stage. A radiant energy device can be positioned above the stage. The radiant energy device can be operable to generate and project energy in a predetermined pattern. A feed module can be configured to operably couple with a first end portion of a resin support and can be positioned upstream of the stage. A take-up module can be configured to operably couple with a second end portion of the resin support and can be positioned downstream of the stage.

  • Publication number: 20240105285
    Abstract: A reaction pathfinder system can leverage historical chemical reaction data and determine a synthesis route in a reaction network. The reaction pathfinder system can account for various performance criteria of chemical reactions such as a highest yield for a molecule or a minimal number of reaction steps. A reaction pathfinder system receives a user request for a synthesis route including one of a user-specified molecule or a user-specified reaction. The reaction pathfinder system may then query a reaction network that has various synthesis routes and represents reactions of reactants to produce respective molecules. The reaction network may be composed of molecule nodes and reaction nodes. The reaction pathfinder system determines, using the reaction network, the synthesis route from the synthesis routes to fulfill the user's request.

  • Publication number: 20220212375
    Abstract: A stabilizer composition for producing a polymeric hollow article in a rotomolding process has stabilizing amounts of: (i) at least one chroman-based compound according to Formula (V): wherein at least one instance of R21 is OR27, R27 is COR?? or Si(R28)3, and R??, R22, R23 R24, R25 and R26 are as defined herein; (ii) at least one phosphite or phosphonite; and (iii) a basic co-additive selected from alkali metal or alkaline metal salts of higher fatty acids. A polymeric hollow article is made by a process comprising: a) filling a mold with a polyolefin and a stabilizing amount of the stabilizer composition described herewith; b) rotating the mold around at least one axis while heating the mold in an oven, thereby fusing the composition and spreading it to the walls of the mold; c) cooling the mold; and d) opening the mold to remove the resulting polymeric hollow article.

  • Publication number: 20220153959
    Abstract: Polyolefin compositions of a polyolefin, a chroman-based compound according to Formula (V): and a basic co-additive selected from alkali metal or alkaline metal salts of higher fatty acids are disclosed. Amounts of the chroman-based compound and the basic co-additive are selected to enhance processing stability of the polyolefin composition when subjected to extrusion, even in the absence of antistatic agents and organic phosphites and phosphonites. Masterbatch compositions of a first polyolefin, the chroman-based compound and the basic co-additive can be blended with a second polyolefin, identical to, or compatible with, the first polyolefin to form a stabilized polyolefin composition. Molded articles produced by molding the polyolefin compositions are also disclosed. R21, R22, R23, R24, R25, R26, and R27 are also described.
