A ceramic reinforced metal composite (CRMC) comprising a composition composite as an interpenetrating network of at least two interconnected composites is described. The interpenetrating networks comprise a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) and a metal matrix composite (MMC). The composition composite is particularly useful as an electrically conductive pathway extending through the ceramic body of a hermetically sealed component, for example, a feedthrough in an active implantable medical device (AIMD).

The disclosure provides for sealing systems including a composite material that includes a thermoplastic lattice structure having interstitial space that is filled with fusible metal. The composite material is formed by additively manufacturing the lattice structure, and then filling the interstitial space with the metal. The composite material may be used to form portions of valves and seals.

A method for forming a component for a gas turbine engine may include forming a first portion of the component that includes a cast metal or metal alloy, forming a second portion of the component that includes presintered preform defining at least one support structure, positioning the second portion on the first portion to define an assembly such that the first portion and the second portion define at least one cooling channel therebetween, and heating the assembly to join the first portion and the second portion and form the component.

A 3D printing and assembly system includes a 3D printer having a build volume; a robotic arm configured to access both within the build volume and outside of the printer. The printing and assembly system and a 3D computer hardware system are connected to both the printer and the robotic arm. An assistive object outside of build volume and accessible by robotic arm is identified. A 3D object assembly to be generated by the printer is identified. The assistive object and the object assembly is real-time analyzed, using the computer hardware system, to generate interdependent sequential instructions for the printer and the robotic arm. The already-generated object is positioned within the build volume using the robotic arm with the sequential instructions for the robotic arm. The object assembly is 3D printed by 3D printing around the already-generated object using the sequential instructions for the 3D printer.

One aspect is an apparatus including a plurality of additively manufactured components each having an adhesive injection channel. The components are connected together such that adhesive injection channels are aligned to form an adhesive path that allows adhesive flow between the components. Another aspect is an apparatus, including an additively manufactured component having an adhesive injection channel and an adhesive flow mechanism comprising at least one of an adhesive side end effector or a vacuum side end effector, the adhesive flow mechanism configured to provide adhesive to the adhesive injection channels.

A capacitor component includes a body, including a dielectric layer and an internal electrode layer, and an external electrode disposed on the body and connected to the internal electrode layer. The internal electrode layer includes zirconium (Zr) and germanium (Ge). A ratio of a sum of contents (at %) of zirconium (Zr) and germanium (Ge), contained in the internal electrode layer, to an entirety of the internal electrode layer is 3.3 at % or more to 3.7 at % or less.

The present disclosure discloses a surface acoustic wave temperature sensor and a manufacturing method thereof. The surface acoustic wave temperature sensor includes a sensing module and an antenna module electrically connected to each other. The antenna module includes a first high-temperature-resistant substrate and a patterned antenna formed on a surface of the first high-temperature-resistant substrate, a recess is formed in a first surface of the first high-temperature-resistant substrate, and the sensing module is fixed in the recess. The sensing module and the antenna module of the surface acoustic wave temperature sensor provided by the present disclosure form a whole. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the volume is greatly reduced, and wireless passive temperature monitoring in a high-temperature and narrow space can be better implemented. Moreover, the sensing module can be integrated in the antenna module, and such a structure is more convenient for batch processing.

A cutting element comprises a supporting substrate, and a cutting table attached to an end of the supporting substrate. The cutting table comprises a first region and a second region. The first region comprising inter-bonded diamond particles and is substantially free of at least highly catalytic metallic compounds, one or more non-catalytic compounds within interstitial spaces between the inter-bonded diamond particles, and voids within interstitial spaces between the inter-bonded diamond particles. The second region comprising inter-bonded diamond particles, one or more non-catalytic compounds within interstitial spaces between the inter-bonded diamond particles, and one or more metallic phases within interstitial spaces between the inter-bonded diamond particles. The first region of the cutting table has a content of elemental metal of at least about 2.6 wt %. A method of forming a cutting element, and an earth-boring tool are also described.

Systems and methods for removing an oxide layer in an additive manufacturing process are provided. A direct write machine may be used to create wire bonds for semiconductors. The direct write machine may deposit a conductive print material between bond pads to create interconnections. The bond pads may comprise aluminum and an aluminum oxide layer on an outer surface. The presence of an aluminum oxide layer may decrease the electrical connection between the wire bond and the aluminum substrate. To remove the aluminum oxide layer, an abrasive tool is provided to ultrasonically abrade the aluminum oxide layer while the conductive print material is being deposited. The conductive print material may include abrasive additives materials to further aid in abrading the aluminum oxide layer.
