Abstract: Various embodiments include nested emulation for a source application and source emulator. Duplicate source ISA libraries redirect the source emulator library calls to a target library, thereby forcing the native emulator through proper emulation channels between first and second ISAs. Other embodiments concern accelerating dynamic linking by determining certain function calls that, rather than being processed through emulation of PLT code, are instead directly called without the need for PLT code translation. Some embodiments address both nested emulation and accelerated dynamic linking but other embodiments include one of nested emulation and accelerated dynamic linking. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: Additive manufacturing systems and methods used for creating 3D parts from continuous-fiber reinforced composites such as, e.g., carbon-fiber or glass-fiber pre-impregnated tape are provided. The systems and methods lay tape in successive layers and cut each layer according to a 2D slice of a 3D CAD file. During the placement of each piece of tape, a laser welds the tape to other tape, eliminating the need for post-processing of each layer. By utilizing tape instead of large fiber-reinforced sheets, the systems and methods described herein reduce waste compared to known manufacturing techniques.
