Abstract: A distributed heterogeneous or homogeneous file storage system divides logical responsibility for data from actual control of the data by using separate file and storage managers. Each file manager provides access to stored files and stores metadata associated with each of the files for which it is responsible. A file manager control component allocates responsibilities among file managers, assigns management responsibilities for individual files, and maintains a record of which files are assigned to each manager. Each storage manager is responsible for managing storage of files on data storage devices and maintains a record of the location of each stored file. A storage manager control component allocates responsibilities among storage managers, assigns responsibilities for individual files, and maintains a record of which files and storage devices are assigned to each manager. A client provides user access, initiates actions within the system, and implements a redundant data recovery and reconstruction scheme.

Abstract: A 3D object according to the invention comprises substrate layers infiltrated by a hardened material. The 3D object is fabricated by a method comprising the following steps: Position powder on all or part of a substrate layer. Repeat this step for the remaining substrate layers. Stack the substrate layers. Transform the powder into a substance that flows and subsequently hardens into the hardened material. The hardened material solidifies in a spatial pattern that infiltrates positive regions in the substrate layers and does not infiltrate negative regions in the substrate layers. In a preferred embodiment, the substrate is carbon fiber and excess substrate is removed by abrasion.

Abstract: A three-dimensional object comprises substantially planar or flat substrate layers that are folded and stacked in a predetermined order and infiltrated by a hardened material. The object is fabricated by positioning powder on all or part of multiple substrate layers. On each layer, the powder is selectively deposited in a pattern that corresponds to tiles that each have a slice of the object. For each slice, powder is deposited in positions that correspond to positions in the slice where the object exists, and not deposited where the object does not exist. The tiles of each substrate layer are folded and aligned in a predetermined order. Multiple folded substrate layers mat be combined into a single stack. The powder is transformed into a substance that flows and subsequently hardens into the hardened material in a spatial pattern that infiltrates positive regions, and does not infiltrate negative regions, in the substrate layers.

Abstract: A 3D object (the “New Object”) is fabricated layer by layer by 3D printing. The shape and relative dimensions of the various parts of the New Object match that of another 3D object (the “Target Object”). In addition, the exterior of the New Object appears to be a photographic likeness of the Target Object. The “photographic” likeness is created by variations in visual characteristics of materials in the layers comprising the New Object, and in particular by variations at or near the surface of the New Object. Thus, the photographic likeness is an integral part of these layers comprising the New Object. An object is scanned, from which a texture map is obtained. A CAD model is sliced into slices (bit maps files) which are then colored by a program with the boundary to match the color or gray scale to color the appropriate pixels, derived from the texture map.

Abstract translation: 3D对象（“新对象”）通过3D打印逐层加工。 新对象的各个部分的形状和相对尺寸与另一个3D对象（“目标对象”）的形状和相对尺寸相匹配。 另外，新对象的外观似乎是目标对象的摄影形象。 “摄影”的相似性是通过在包括新物体的层中的材料的视觉特性的变化产生的，特别是通过在新对象的表面处或附近的变化。 因此，摄影相似性是包含新对象的这些层的组成部分。 扫描对象，从中获取纹理贴图。 将CAD模型切片成片（位图文件），然后通过具有边界的程序对其进行着色，以匹配颜色或灰度级，以从纹理贴图中导出适当的像素。

Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment of this invention, corrugated board is folded into a building system. The building system comprises a plurality of blocks and connectors. The blocks are rectangular cuboid in shape. The bottom and top sides of the blocks have rectangular arrays of holes. The blocks may be releasably connected by aligning the top holes of one block with the bottom holes of another block, and then inserting connectors into the aligned pairs of holes, one connector per aligned paid of holes. The ends of the connectors that are inserted are circular or equiangular polygonal in shape. In some embodiments, compression is used to releasably hold the connectors in place.
