Patent number: 10052794Abstract: The temperature of concrete can be monitored by a temperature probe. Typically, large volumes of concrete such as are typically carried in mixer trucks or mixed in industrial concrete production drums have a relatively stable, or slowly varying temperature, given the high thermal capacity of concrete. A sudden change in temperature can thus be attributed to an external event. A sudden addition of even a relatively small amount of water for instance, which has an even higher thermal capacity, can produce a notable sudden change in temperature. Examples where the detection of the addition of water can be particularly useful in the production and/or transport of concrete are provided herein. Moreover, if the temperature of the added water is known, and the quantity of concrete is also known, the sudden difference in temperature can be correlated to a volume of added water.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2013Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: COMMAND ALKON DUTCH TECH B.V.Inventor: Denis Beaupré

Patent number: 10052812Abstract: A printed target model is formed by 3D printing by inputting target model data, and based on target model data, identifying surface portions requiring support. The surface portions are projected onto a virtual printer table, and one or more virtual support structures having a V-shaped cap portion and optionally a generally planar web are created therefore. The virtual model is then used to control a 3D printer to integrally print-form the target model and support structures.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2016Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF WINDSORInventor: Jill Urbanic

Patent number: 10052814Abstract: An apparatus, method, system for 3-D printing that includes a nozzle and a movable platform, wherein the platform provides for a constant distance configuration of the platform relative to the extrusion emitter or nozzle thereby precluding the need to level the printer. The apparatus includes motion vectors associated with each direction of motion of the movable platform. A central point of origin is further provided for establishing the directions of movement of the movable cantilevered platform. The direction of motion of the motion vectors each pass through the central point of origin thereby providing a movable platform that stays a constant distance relative to the nozzle when moved in any planar direction within each layer.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2017Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: FunFare, LLCInventors: Charles Albert, David G. Capper, Andrew S. Filo, Jason G. Heller

Patent number: 10052819Abstract: A method for creating a vacuum insulated panel including preforming a continuous insulation member having male and female engaging surfaces and providing a barrier film envelope having an opening. The insulation member is disposed within the barrier film envelope and a tooling fixture is pressed against the barrier film envelope to press the barrier film envelope against the male and female engaging surfaces to remove gas from between the barrier film envelope and the male and female engaging surfaces. Substantially all gas is removed from within the barrier film envelope so that the barrier film envelope substantially conforms to an exterior surface of the insulation member. The opening of the barrier film envelope is then hermetically sealed, wherein the barrier film envelope forms a continuous layer over the core insulation member to form a vacuum insulated panel.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2014Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventor: Guolian Wu

Patent number: 10052821Abstract: A method uses a powder bed-based additive production of components such as laser melting. The interior wall of a hollow cylinder is used as a construction platform. Progressive production of the component is possible by rotating the hollow cylinder step-by-step in direction. This allows production of components without set-up times as the components can emerge from the powder bed as rotation continues and can be separated from the hollow cylinder by a separating device. The space requirement for the hollow cylinder in this arrangement is relatively small.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2013Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventor: Olaf Rehme
