International Classification:

US Classification:

709/315000

Abstract:

A framework enables data source components to be developed independently of data consumer components. A mediation layer, typically implemented as a group of APIs (application programming interface), handles and defines the mediation and interface between the source and data components. The framework, called XIS (extensible information system), is especially suited for development of information-handling systems and applications. Data source components and data consumer components are typically designed to communicate with each other via several interfaces. Domain, relationship, attribute/metadata, and change event interfaces are defined within the mediation layer. Other interfaces may also be defined. Data source components that are written for non-XIS aware environments or frameworks may still be used with XIS by “wrapping” such source components with code to conform to the interface requirements. Java objects are examples of data source components. Data consumer components thus are able to use or consume various source components regardless of the data types and the data source. Thus, once a data consumer component is developed within the XIS framework, any data source components within the XIS framework may be consumed by a data consumer component.

International Classification:

C25D 1/00
B33Y 10/00
B33Y 30/00

Abstract:

Described herein are electrochemical additive manufacturing systems and methods of using such systems. In some examples, a method comprises flowing an electrolyte solution into the gap formed by an electrode array and a deposition electrode and depositing (electroplating) a target material onto the deposition electrode. The method also comprises changing one or more characteristics of the electrolyte solution within the system, e.g., to remove deposition byproducts, replenish consumed components, and/or change the solution composition to modify various properties of the deposited target material (e.g., composition, morphology) without major changeovers within the system. These electrolyte changes can be performed dynamically while the system continues to operate. The changed characteristics can be acid concentration, feedstock ion concentration, additive concentration, temperature, and flow rate. In some examples, the solution is flowed into the gap from a supply reservoir and recirculated back into the supply reservoir after exiting the gap.

Abstract:

An apparatus for stereo-electrochemical deposition of metal layers consisting of an array of anodes, a cathode, a positioning system, a fluid handling system for an electrolytic solution, communications circuitry, control circuitry and software control. The anodes are electrically operated to promote deposition of metal layers in any combination on the cathode to fabricate a structure.
