  • Publication number: 20240316857
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) printing system includes a build vessel, a build plate, a vertical movement mechanism, a lower light engine, an upper light engine, and a controller. The build vessel is configured to contain a column of photocurable liquid above a transparent sheet. The vertical movement mechanism is configured to vertically position the build plate. The controller is configured to operate the vertical movement mechanism, the lower light engine, and the upper light engine to fabricate: (a) a lower 3D article upon a lower surface of the build platform by selective solidification of the photocurable liquid at the lower build plane using the lower light engine, and (b) an upper 3D article upon an upper surface of the build platform by selective solidification of the photocurable liquid at the upper build plane using the upper light engine.

  • Publication number: 20240074435
    Abstract: An antimicrobial composition is provided that comprises about 10.0 to about 40.0 wt. % of one or more C1-8 alcohols, based on the total weight of the antimicrobial composition; and two or more of a surfactant; an enhancer; and a buffer. The pH of the composition is less than or equal to about 6.0 and the composition achieves a microbial log reduction of greater than 4.0 log CFU/ml at a contact time of 1 minute, in accordance ASTM E2783.

  • Patent number: 10889965
    Abstract: A hydraulic circuit for a pair of cylinders of an articulation system includes a pump, a reservoir, a directional control valve (DCV), a pair of actuator valves (AVs) and an articulation charge circuit (ACC). The DCV is fluidly coupled to the pump, the reservoir and the pair of cylinders via a supply line, a fluid return line and a pair of cylinder supply lines (CSLs) respectively. Each CSL has a load check valve (LCV) therein. The AVs are fluidly coupled with the DCV and the pump via a pilot supply line (PSL) for actuating movement of the DCV. The ACC, associated with the PSL and each cylinder supply line downstream of the associated LCV, charges a corresponding CSL with fluid from the PSL for increasing a pressure in the corresponding CSL when the pressure in the corresponding CSL falls below the pressure of fluid associated with the PSL.

  • Publication number: 20180346017
    Abstract: A hydraulic system is provided for a steering system of a vehicle. The hydraulic system includes a pump that supplies pressurized fluid during an operation of the steering system. The hydraulic system also includes an accumulator that is in independent and selective communication with each of the pump and the steering system. When the pump is in the operational state to support the operation of the steering system, some of the fluid may be routed into the accumulator and stored in the accumulator for later use. In the event of failure of the pump when the steering system is in operation, the accumulator provides the required amount of fluid to continue operation of the steering system until charge in the accumulator depletes to a value that is no longer sufficient to support operation of the steering system.
