摘要： A feedback-based system and method that identifies characteristics of one or more cells and utilizes the characteristics to initiate and adjust a field applied to the one or more cells to control the cells' functioning and motility is provided. Machine learning can be leveraged to automatically identify characteristics of the one or more cells and adjust the parameters of the field based on the characteristics. Sensors are utilized during the application of the field to monitor characteristics of the one or more cells and parameters of the field. Specifically, characteristics of at least some of the cells are measured at different points, and the measurements are used to determine whether the desired effect has been achieved or whether unintended consequences are taking place. Based on the measurements, parameters of the field can be adjusted to achieve the desired effect on cell functioning, cell motility, or both.

摘要： A feedback system that identifies characteristics of one or more cells being grown on a metasurface and utilizes the characteristics to initiate and adjust a field applied to the metasurface to control adhesion of the cells to and from the metasurface. The metasurface includes a plurality of structures whose resonances (localized or non-localized) have a wavelength range of 250 nm-3 microns. In one embodiment, the system leverages machine learning to automatically identify characteristics of the one or more cells or the metasurface and adjust the parameters of the field based on the characteristics. Sensors are utilized during the application of the field to monitor characteristics of the one or more cells or the metasurface and parameters of the field. Based on the measurements, parameters of the field can be adjusted to achieve the desired effect on the detachment of the cells.

摘要： A feedback system that identifies characteristics of a colloid and utilizes the characteristics to initiate and adjust a field applied to the colloid is provided. In one embodiment, the system leverages machine learning to automatically identify a condition of the colloid and adjust the supercooling parameters. Sensors are utilized during supercooling to monitor a condition of the colloid being supercooled. Specifically, characteristics of the colloid are measured at different points, areas, or volumes on the colloid and the measurements are used to determine whether supercooling is being achieved or whether the colloid is starting to freeze or undergoing another undesirable phase change. Based on the measurements, parameters of the field can be adjusted to ensure supercooling of the colloid without freezing or causing another undesirable phase change. When phase change is desired, rate of phase change can be controlled to achieve desired characteristics of the colloid.

摘要： A transfer member for a printing device includes a shaft, a rigid cylindrical core member, mounted on the shaft, an outer layer supported on the rigid cylindrical core member, and optionally a conformable intermediate layer, spacing the cylindrical core member from the outer layer. The outer layer defines an outer surface of the transfer member, and is configured for receiving a toner image thereon. The cylindrical core and outer layer have a same axis of rotation as the shaft. The rigid cylindrical core and/or the conformable intermediate layer, where present may be electrically biased, relative to a photoconductor drum of the printing device.

摘要： An aqueous inkjet printer also ejects drops of UV material on an aqueous ink image and exposes the aqueous ink image and the UV material to UV radiation before passing the aqueous ink image and UV material through a thermal dryer. The exposure to UV radiation pins the UV material to the aqueous ink image and underlying substrate and the thermal dryer fixes the aqueous ink image to the substrate while releasing free radicals from the UV material. Thus, the printer produces textured prints that do not have free radicals that can irritate skin or produce noxious odors.

摘要： A method of producing thermoplastic particles may comprise: mixing a melt emulsion comprising (a) a continuous phase that comprises a carrier fluid having a polarity Hansen solubility parameter (dP) of about 7 MPa0.5 or less, (b) a dispersed phase that comprises a dispersing fluid having a dP of about 8 MPa0.5 or more, and (c) an inner phase that comprises a thermoplastic polyester at a temperature greater than a melting point or softening temperature of the thermoplastic polyester and at a shear rate sufficiently high to disperse the thermoplastic polyester in the dispersed phase; and cooling the melt emulsion to below the melting point or softening temperature of the thermoplastic polyester to form solidified particles comprising the thermoplastic polyester.

摘要： A three-dimensional (3D) metal object manufacturing apparatus is equipped with two solid metal moving mechanisms that are independently operated to move two different metals into the receptacle of a vessel in a melted metal drop ejecting apparatus. The ejector is operated to form object features with melted metal drops of one of the two different metals and to form support features with melted metal drops of the other of the two different metals. The thermal expansion coefficients of the two metals are sufficiently different that the support features easily separate from the object features after the object and support features cool.
