  • Publication number: 20240168460
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures include, in at least one aspect, a fully automatic method of converting a generative design into an editable, watertight B-Rep by leveraging the generative solver input and representation to: (1) embed the exact input solid boundary surfaces where the design coincides with the input, (2) approximate everywhere else the design boundary with globally smooth, editable “organic” surfaces, and (3) join all surfaces to form a generative design output B-Rep.

  • Publication number: 20240141281
    Abstract: The information processing device includes: a cultivation information acquisition unit configured to acquire cultivation information of a cell; and a recommended condition generation unit configured to generate a recommended condition for detaching the cell from a to-be-processed vessel in which the cell is cultured, the cultivation information including information about the to-be-processed vessel, the recommended condition being a condition for detaching the cell by applying vibration to the to-be-processed vessel, the recommended condition generation unit being configured to generate the recommended condition based on the cultivation information, with use of a learned model, the learned model being learned with use of information about a cultivation condition and information about a detachment condition, the information about the cultivation condition including information about a culture vessel, the information about the detachment condition including information about a condition for applying vibration t

  • Publication number: 20240141314
    Abstract: The information processing device includes: a cultivation information acquisition unit configured to acquire cultivation information of a cell; and a recommended condition setting unit configured to set a recommended condition for detaching the cell from a to be-processed vessel in which the cell is cultured, the cultivation information including information about the to-be-processed vessel, the recommended condition being a condition for detaching the cell by applying vibration to the to-be-processed vessel, the recommended condition setting unit being configured to set the recommended condition based on the cultivation information, with use of information concerning an association relationship between information about a cultivation condition and information about a detachment condition, the information about the cultivation condition including information about a culture vessel, the information about the detachment condition including information about a condition for applying vibration to the culture vess

  • Publication number: 20230056614
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for computer aided design of physical structures using data format conversion (e.g., of output(s) from generative design processes) and user interface techniques that facilitate the production of 3D models of physical structures that are readily usable with 2.5-axis subtractive manufacturing, include: modifying smooth curves, which have been fit to contours representing discrete height layers of an object, to facilitate the 2.5-axis subtractive manufacturing; preparing an editable model of the object using a parametric feature history, which includes a sketch feature, to combine extruded versions of the smooth curves to form a 3D model of the object in a boundary representation format; reshaping a subset of the smooth curves responsive to user input with respect to the sketch feature; and replaying the parametric feature history to reconstruct the 3D model of the object, as changed by the user input.
