A Data-Driven Approach to Complex Voxel Predictions in Grayscale Digital Light Processing Additive Manufacturing Using U-nets and Generative Adversarial Networks

July 6, 2023
Author(s)
Jason Killgore, Thomas Kolibaba, Benjamin Caplins, Callie Higgins, Jake Rezac
Machine learning models such as U-nets like the pix2pix conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) are shown to predict 3D printed voxel geometry in digital light processing (DLP) additive manufacturing. The models are trained on microscopic voxel

Concentration of Ignitable Liquid Residue from Simulated Fire Debris by Dynamic Vapor Microextraction: Sensitivity to Instrument Settings and Debris Characteristics

July 6, 2023
Author(s)
Jennifer Berry, Mary Gregg, Amanda Koepke, Reta Newman, Kavita Jeerage
Dynamic vapor microextraction (DVME) is a potential method for the extraction and concentration of ignitable liquid (IL) residue in fire debris. This low flow rate, purge-and-trap headspace concentration method collects IL vapors onto a chilled adsorbent
