  • Publication number: 20190213338
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods for verifying the integrity of an additive manufacturing process during or after a three-dimensional (3D) print job. The methods include at least one of three validation layers: an acoustic layer, a spatial sensing layer, and a material verification layer. For the acoustic layer, the method includes determining the presence of a signature audio signal. For the spatial sensing layer, the method includes comparing a recorded trajectory with a reference trajectory. The method also includes determining the presence of a signature trajectory. For the material verification layer, the method includes determining the location of a special material in a 3D printed object based on a predetermined pattern in which the special material embedded in a filament. The methods allow for detecting alteration in the additive manufacturing process.

  • Publication number: 20190187662
    Abstract: A calibration system for a food processing machine has a conveyor for conveying a workpiece, scanning system for scanning the workpiece and creating a digital image of the workpiece, and a cutting device downstream from the scanning system for cutting the workpiece. A calibration object is conveyed through the food processing machine by the conveyor and scanned. A controller, with a memory, is in communication with the cutting device and the conveyor such that the controller can track position of the cutting device as the cutting device is moved into alignment with the calibration object and store calibration values on the memory corresponding to the movement of the cutting device into alignment with the calibration object. The controller is configured to calibrate movement of the cutting device relative to the workpiece based on the digital image of the workpiece and the calibration values to thereafter accurately cut the workpiece.

  • Publication number: 20190143875
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle having a fixed room and a slide-out room which extends and retracts relative to the fixed room. The slide-out room having a floor sliding under the main RV floor. The slide-out room is able to locate over the vehicle wheel wells with the slide-out floor lower than the top of the wheel well allowing for a much lower vehicle profile. The fixed room includes a main floor section, sidewall sections, and a roof section. The slide-out room includes a floor section which has more than one level of flooring to cover the wheel well and the step-down entrance door well section. Furthermore, when the slide-out room is retracted, the slide-out floor slides under the main floor to tuck underneath the main floor.

  • Publication number: 20190003264
    Abstract: A departure device couples to a bit using a connector that facilitates release of the bit from the departure device. The connector may be more millable than the departure device and can transmit axial and torque loads between the bit and the departure device. The connector may include a material having lesser strength or hardness than the departure device, and may be millable by the bit. Another example connector may have connection points with the bit, and a movable member of the departure device may a force to the connector and contribute to releasing the connection between the bit and the departure device. A tensile connector between the bit and the movable member may apply a tension force to the movable member, urging the movable member toward an extended position in which the movable member is aligned coherently with a sloped face of the departure device.
