Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems of controlling the placement of micro-objects on the surface of a micro-assembler. Control patterns may be used to cause phototransistors or electrodes of the micro-assembler to generate dielectrophoretic (DEP) and electrophoretic (EP) forces which may be used to manipulate, move, position, or orient one or more micro-objects on the surface of the micro-assembler. A set of micro-object may be analyzed. Geometric properties of the set of micro-objects may be identified. The set of micro-objects may be divided into multiple sub-sets of micro-objects based on the one or more geometric properties and one or more control patterns.

Abstract: Techniques for modeling a droplet-based additive manufacturing process are disclosed. An example method includes obtaining training data, setting one or more hyperparameter values in a data-driven surrogate model architecture, and training, by a processing device, the surrogate model architecture on the training data to generate a trained surrogate model. The trained surrogate model is to be used in lieu of a physics-based model to make predictions about the results of an additive manufacturing process. The training data includes pairs of input data and output data, wherein the input data describes an initial state of a substrate and a molten droplet inside a moving subdomain prior to the molten droplet impacting the substrate and the output data describes a final state of the substrate inside that moving subdomain after the molten droplet has impacted the substrate and coalesced with previously deposited droplets making up the initial state of the substrate.

Abstract: An electrochemical system has a first reservoir receiving a feed stream. The feed stream includes a solvent and a solute different than the salt. A second reservoir receives a brine stream with a higher salt concentration higher than the feed stream. Electrodes contact a loop of redox-active electrolyte material causing reversible redox reactions. The reactions cause the loop to accept a first ion from the salt in the first reservoir and drive a second ion into the brine stream in the second reservoir. Three ionic exchange membranes of alternating type define the first and second reservoirs. A concentrate stream is output from the first reservoir, the concentrate stream having a second solute concentration greater than the first solute concentration.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method and a system for computing diagnoses for a physical system. During operation, the system can obtain a design of the physical system, generate a design of a diagnostic system by augmenting the design of the physical system based on a number of fault-emulating subsystems, and convert the design of the diagnostic system into a polynomial formula comprising a plurality of variables. The plurality of variables can include inputs and outputs of the original physical system and a number of ancillary variables. The system can further embed the polynomial formula on a hardware-based solver configured to perform optimization using the polynomial formula as an objective function to obtain a diagnostic vector used for explaining faults in the physical system.

Abstract: A transistor includes a first layer comprising a group III-nitride semiconductor. A second layer comprising a group III-nitride semiconductor is disposed over the first layer. A third layer comprising a group III-nitride semiconductor is disposed over the second layer. An interface between the second layer and the third layer form a polarization heterojunction. A fourth layer comprising a group III-nitride semiconductor is disposed over the third layer. An interface between the third layer and the fourth layer forms a pn junction. A first electrical contact pad is disposed on the fourth layer. A second electrical contact pad is disposed on the third layer. A third electrical contact pad is electronically coupled to bias the polarization heterojunction.

Abstract: A system is provided which obtains images of a physical object captured by an AR recording device in a 3D scene. The system measures a level of diversity of the obtained images, for a respective image, based on at least: a distance and angle; a lighting condition; and a percentage of occlusion. The system generates, based on the level of diversity, a first visualization of additional images to be captured by projecting, on a display of the recording device, first instructions for capturing the additional images using the AR recording device. The system trains a model based on the collected data. The system performs an error analysis on the collected data to estimate an error rate for each image of the collected data. The system generates, based on the error analysis, a second visualization of further images to be captured. The model is further trained based on the collected data.

Abstract: This disclosure provides techniques for automatically generating a geometric representation based on a system-level model (e.g., a lumped parameter model, or LPM). The geometric representation may include a three-dimensional (3D) or cross-sectional shape, resulting from topology optimization within a design space automatically generated without human intervention. An example method may include identifying one or more constraints for each of two or more components of an LPM. One or more conditions are generated for the LPM. The one or more conditions are mapped to the one or more constraints. A processing device may generate a design space for a geometric representation to perform functions represented by the LPM. The geometric representation is subject to the generated one or more conditions. The processing device may then perform topology optimization of the geometric representation in the design space to generate an optimized geometry (e.g., a converged and/or final output).

Abstract: A heating circuit having an array of switching heating elements (e.g., field effect transistors, thin film transistors) provides a transient heat pattern over a surface (e.g., substrate, imaging member surface, transfer roll surface) moving relative to the heating circuit, to produce a pixelated heat image and heat a target pattern on the surface. Heat is generated by current flow in the heating elements, and the power developed by the heating circuit is the product of source-drain voltage and current in the channel. Digital addressing may accomplished by matrix addressing the array. Current may be supplied along data address lines by an external voltage controlled by digital electronics understood by a skilled artisan to provide the desired heat at a respective heating element pixels addressed by a specific gate line. The circuit may include a current return line that may be low resistance, for example, by using a 2-dimensional mesh.

Abstract: A 3D object printer is disclosed. The 3D object printer advantageously incorporates one or more optical systems and optical devices that improve the operation and output of the 3D object printer including, for example, a laser heating system or an optical monitoring system. A variety of arrangements of optical structures and systems are provided to guide light beam(s), such as laser beams, illumination beams, reflected light beams, etc., into or out of the fabrication environment of the 3D object printer. These optical structures and systems overcome structural and spatial constraints of the 3D object printer, which might otherwise prevent effective operation of the laser heating system or the optical monitoring system.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) metal object manufacturing apparatus is operated to form sloping surfaces having a slope angle of more than 45° from a line that is perpendicular to the structure on which the layer forming the slope surface is formed. The angle corresponds to a step-out distance from the perpendicular line and a maximum individual step-out distance determined from empirically derived data. Multiple passes of an ejection head of the apparatus can be performed within a layer to form a sloped edge and the mass of the sloped structure is distributed within the sloped edge so the edge is formed without defects.
