  • Publication number: 20240424738
    Abstract: A computer system for dynamically controlling a thermoset printer (100) may comprise one or more processors (210) and one or more computer-readable media having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, configure the computer system to perform various acts. The computer system may receive a thermoset printing data packet that comprises an indication of a desired final material property of the target object to be printed. The computer system may also receive an indication of one or more thermoset materials (250a,250b) that are available to the thermoset three-dimensional printer and access a material attribute dataset that describes different material properties. Based upon the material attribute dataset, the computer system may determine a particular mixture configuration for the one or more thermoset materials and generate a command to cause the thermoset three-dimensional printer to implement the particular mixture configuration.

  • Publication number: 20230296880
    Abstract: Methods of forming a resist model for angled gratings on optical devices. In one example, a method includes designing a model with a model area and a verification area with initial mask patterns having a first grating pattern with a first angle and a first critical dimension and fabricating test masks with the model area having a first model angle and a first model critical dimension and the verification area having a first verification angle and a first verification critical dimension. The method also includes patterning a substrate with the test masks, measuring the first model angle, the first model critical dimension, the first verification angle and the first verification critical dimension, and fabricating a new device mask if the first verification angle is within the threshold range of the first desired angle and the first verification critical dimension is within the threshold range of the first desired critical dimension.

  • Publication number: 20230256678
    Abstract: A computer system for part production using flow infill design receives a computer-aided design file that describes physical dimensions of a target object (120). The computer system identifies a physical boundary portion (300) of the target object within the CAD file. The computer system generates a first tool path to additively manufacture the physical boundary portion (300). Additionally, the computer system sends instructions to a computer system in communication with a dispenser (130) that cause the dispenser to implement the first tool path while dispensing a boundary material. Further, the computer system generates a command to dispense the coreactive infill material (310) within the physical boundary portion.

  • Patent number: 10147688
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a package and at least two leads exposed external to the package to permit electrical connections to the package. A first die situated in the package has a first substrate and at least a first terminal electrically coupled to a first one of the leads. A second die situated in the package has a second substrate and at least a second terminal electrically coupled to a second one of the lead. An adhesive material holding the first and second die in place forms a voltage-triggered conduction path between the first and second die electrically that isolates the second die from the first die under a first condition and provides an ESD current path between the first one of the leads and the second one of the leads under a second condition.
