    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for generating a subsurface model representing lithological characteristics and attributes of the subsurface of a celestial body or planet. By automatically ingesting data from many sources, a machine learning system can infer information about the characteristics of regions of the subsurface and build a model representing the subsurface rock properties. In some cases, this can provide information about a region using inferred data, where no direct measurements have been taken. Remote sensing data, such as aerial or satellite imagery, gravimetric data, magnetic field data, electromagnetic data, and other information can be readily collected or is already available at scale. Lithological attributes and characteristics present in available geoscience data can be correlated with related remote sensing data using a machine learning model, which can then infer lithological attributes and characteristics for regions where remote sensing data is available, but geoscience data is not.

    Abstract: Techniques for improving a blast pattern at a mining site include conducting an initial blast and recording the initial blast as a high speed optical video. The high speed optical video, and the blast pattern used in the initial blast are sent as inputs to a machine learning model, which correlates one or more characteristics of the region being blasted with measurements associated with characteristics of the region being blasted obtained from the high speed optical video. The machine learning model can then determine an improved blast pattern based on the correlation made. This improved blast pattern can be displayed on a user computing device, or transmitted to a drilling system to automatically drill the improved blast pattern for subsequent blasts.

    Abstract: Systems and apparatus for gas sensing including: a sample inlet; a first sorbent tube and a second sorbent tube each in fluidic communication with the sample inlet, wherein the first sorbent tube is sensitive to a first set of gas analytes and the second sorbent tube is sensitive to a second, different set of gas analytes; an array of gas sensors housed in a chamber that is in fluidic communication with the first sorbent tube and the second sorbent tube; and a desorption system configured to selectively desorb and direct contents from each of the first sorbent tube and the second sorbent tube into the chamber housing the array of gas sensors at different times. Methods for gas sensing are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Techniques for processing ore include the steps of causing an imaging capture system to record a plurality of images of a stream of ore fragments en route from a first location in an ore processing facility to a second location in the ore processing facility; correlating the plurality of images of the stream of ore fragments with at least one or more characteristics of the ore fragments using a machine learning model that includes a plurality of ore parameter measurements associated with the one or more characteristics of the ore fragments; determining, based on the correlation, at least one of the one or more characteristics of the ore fragments; and generating, for display on a user computing device, data indicating the one or more characteristics of the ore fragments or data indicating an action or decision based on the one or more characteristics of the ore fragments.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides an apparatus that includes: a stage defining a build plane; a micro light emitting diode (μLED) array including multiple pixels and configured to emit ultraviolet (UV) light towards the build plane; a two-dimensional (2-D) voice coil manipulator mechanically coupled to the μLED array and configured to align the pixels of the μLED array with the build plane; and a control module programmed to cause the μLED array to illuminate a UV curable material at the build plane to form a stack of layers of the three-dimensional object, wherein the apparatus adjusts a UV illumination pattern for the layers of the UV curable material by varying an output intensity of UV light from the pixels of the μLED array and by varying an alignment between the μLED array and the build plane using the 2-D voice coil manipulator.
