Abstract: Computer (or computerized) numerical control (CNC) tools are employed globally. Whilst these may be purchased with an initial set of configurations users must establish any other configurations themselves leading to potentially every CNC tool being configured slightly differently for the same process requirement even before considering new materials, tool elements etc. Accordingly, users and manufacturers would benefit from access to updated process parameters for machine tools that reflect scenarios encountered in manufacturing operations that are new or lead to improved tolerances, yields, reducing process time etc. However, users are not going to employ just any set of parameters given to them as these may damage their CNC tool or tool elements. Embodiments of the invention provide a subscription service providing access to verified settings where the verification is performed by the machine tool manufacturer or machine tool element manufacturer.

Abstract: Methods for intelligent automatic merging of source control queue items are performed by systems and apparatuses. Project changes are submitted in build requests to a gated check-in build queue requiring successful builds to commit changes to a code repository according to source control. Multiple pending build requests in the build queue are intelligently and automatically merged into a single, pending merged request based on risk factor values associated with the build requests. For merged requests successfully built, files in the build requests are committed and the build requests are removed from the queue. Merged requests unsuccessfully built are divided into equal subsets based on updated risk factor values using information from the unsuccessful build. Successful builds of subsets allow for committing of files and removal from the build queue, while unsuccessful builds are further divided and processed until single build requests are processed to identify root cause errors.
