| 20220297191 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FORMING MATERIAL SUBSTRATE PRINTER - The present disclosure relates to a system for manufacturing a part via an additive manufacturing process. The system uses a reservoir for containing a heated solution forming a mixture of a volatile component and meltable powdered material particles, the heated solution being heated to a point where the heated solution is at least about to begin boiling. A nozzle associated with the reservoir channels a quantity of the heated solution onto at least one of a substrate or a previously formed material layer. A processor controls a flow of the heated solution through the nozzle onto at least one of the substrate or the previously formed material layer. A heat source responsive to the processor generates heat to melt the powdered material particles. The heat source is controlled to melt the powdered material particles after the volatile component has at least substantially evaporated from the mixture. The volatile component cools a previously formed material layer before heating of the powdered material particles takes place, and the heating of the particles fuses the particles into a single structural layer, thus forming the part exclusively from the particles. | 2022-09-22 |

| 20220297290 | DEVICE AND METHOD TO IMPROVE LEARNING OF A POLICY FOR ROBOTS - A computer-implemented method for for learning a policy. The method includes: recording at least an episode of interactions of the agent with its environment following policy and adding the recorded episode to a set of training data; optimizing a transition dynamics model based on the training data such that the transition dynamics model predicts the next states of the environment depending on the states and actions contained in the training data; optimizing policy parameters based on the training data and the transition dynamics model by optimizing a reward. In the method, the transition dynamics model comprises a first model characterizing the global model and a second model characterizing a correction model, which is configured to correct outputs of the first model. | 2022-09-22 |
