Abstract: A system and method for delivering materials for deposition is described. The system includes reservoirs for holding materials, heating elements for liquefying the materials (unless they are to be delivered as solids). Once in a desired state, pressure and material delivery systems to move the materials to a deposition nozzle. In the deposition nozzle, or thereabouts, the materials combine and are prepared to be deposited. An agitation element is used to break up the material and push it out of the nozzle tip in an atomized or droplet form. Changes in the material composition/concentration result in adjustment in heat, pressure or deposition agitation.

Abstract: An advanced multi-material capable deposition apparatus, system and method is described. The deposition apparatus and system include a print nozzle and material delivery path to deposit material of varying characteristics. An extrusion system processes the material under while controlling material and system variables based on sensor feedback to ensure a desired print. An actuation mechanism is used to control deposition of the material from the nozzle. A controller adjusts operational variables based on designed and measured material characteristics including print settings and environmental variables to precisely deposit the material in the form of an object.

Abstract: An atomized, functionally graded multi-material capable deposition apparatus, system and method is described. The deposition apparatus and system include a print nozzle and material delivery path to deposit material of varying characteristics. An internal chamber within the print nozzle receives the material under pressure and temperature control. An actuation mechanism within the print nozzle is used to control deposition of the material from the nozzle. A controller adjusts the temperature, pressure and actuation frequency based on material characteristics and print settings to precisely deposit the material in the form of an object.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for synchronizing identifiers associated with a plurality of users. The method comprises receiving the data associated with a plurality of users, and thereafter integrating the data associated with the plurality of users and a pre-stored data of the identity management system in such a way to maximize the scale and quality of overall data. The plurality of users has respective computing devices and the computing devices are communicably coupled to the identity management system in operation through a data communication network. The method further comprises comparing the data associated with the plurality of users and the pre-stored data of the identity management system to generate at least one graph indicating at least one pattern between the data associated with the plurality of users and the pre-stored data of the identity management system.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a data communication system and methods of controlling data flows within a data communication system. The data communication system includes a data communication network to which users are coupled when the data communication system is in operation. The data communication system also includes a data server. The users have associated user identifiers, and can interact with the system via user devices. The method includes: receiving the user identifiers; determining matched pairs of the user identifiers; comparing the matched pairs of the user identifiers with each of the received user identifiers, and determining a similarity score for the matched pairs and the user identifiers; mapping the user identifiers onto at least one single customer view identifier, each customer view identifier is distinctly mapped to user identifier(s) for generating a mapping function; and using the mapping function for selectively controlling distribution of data content to the users.

Abstract: A process for producing industrially important chemicals from renewable resources is disclosed. This “biobased” process employs readily available, renewable resources comprising fatty acids rather than exploiting fossil sources, such as coal and petroleum. In one embodiment of the process 1-octene, along with methyl-9-decenoate and butadiene, is produced from linoleic acid via an enzymemediated isomerization reaction, followed by a metathesis reaction with ethylene. Linoleic acid can be isolated from vegetable oils, such as soybean oil.
