  • Patent number: 11188739
    Abstract: An example method includes: obtaining, from computer memory, information from a three-dimensional (3D) graphical model that represents an object; identifying, based on the information, a first part of the object having an attribute; performing a recognition process on the object based on features of the object, where the recognition process attaches more importance to a second part of the object than to the first part, with the second part either not having the attribute or having less of the attribute than the first part; and providing data for rendering content on a graphical user interface based, at least in part, on recognition of the object performed by the recognition process.

  • Patent number: 11173158
    Abstract: Disclosed is a means for improving the symptoms of a cerebral dysfunction. The present inventors made a new discovery that the activity of brain aromatic monoamines increases when sepiapterin is administered peripherally. Disclosed, therefore, is a medicinal agent, which contains at least sepiapterin or a salt thereof, for preventing or improving cerebral dysfunction. Also disclosed is a beverage/food, which contains at least sepiapterin or a salt thereof, for preventing or improving cerebral dysfunction. Unlike tetrahydrobiopterin and the like, sepiapterin can control reductions in the brain neuron levels of brain aromatic monoamines (serotonin, dopamine, noradrenaline, and the like) and increase the activity thereof even when administered peripherally.

  • Patent number: 11170134
    Abstract: Disclosed is a parametric feature-based 3D CAD system that allows multiple users to simultaneously edit a parametric feature-based 3D CAD model consisting of 3D parts and assemblies of those parts (3D Model). Several CAD users, each using their own computer, phone, or tablet, can edit the same 3D Model at the same time. Editing may be separate and simultaneous—there is no need for users to worry about locking, checking out, or otherwise restricting each other's access to 3D Models. As a result, users see each other's changes occur in real-time, and may also identify what aspects other users are actively modifying through visible Collaboration Cues.

  • Patent number: 11093661
    Abstract: In most of today's computer aided design (CAD), there are many definitive relationship between how components used in a CAD design relate to other components and feature in the same design. These relationships include sizing (a component is sized based upon another component), placement and orientation (a component is position and orientated based upon another component or feature). In addition, certain components can only be used with other specific components within the same design. Various attributes are placed on the CAD components and features that relate to each other that will be used to automatically size, place and orientate components, as well as make sure the component is valid to be used within the design intent. This saves designers considerable amount of design time as well as ensuring accurate component to component relationship as used in their design.
