  • Patent number: 12682133
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a simulation framework that facilitates the integration and management of multiple services in a software-in-the-loop simulated environment. A simulation runtime engine can deploy multiple services which may have dependencies upon one another in a simulated environment. Network service calls sent from one simulated services to another service may be intercepted to ensure that the network service call is sent to the simulated instance of the service instead of the actual non-simulated instance of the service. In addition, system time calls are intercepted to ensure that the requested service is provided the simulation time.

  • Patent number: 12682140
    Abstract: A machine learning system for predicting a time dependent property of a material system includes a processor and a memory communicably coupled to the processor. Stored in the memory is an acquisition module and a machine learning module. The machine learning module includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor during each of one or more iterations, to train a machine learning model to learn an initial state vector, Hermitian operators encoding observables, and a Hamiltonian of a material system from the Schrödinger equation of the material system propagated in a time series. The machine learning model also predicts, based at least in part on the learned initial state vector, Hermitian operators, and Hamiltonian, at least one time dependent property of the material system at time not equal to zero.

  • Patent number: 12675614
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method estimates a mass distribution of a physical product comprising a plurality of product parts. The method: a) creates a data structure comprising, for each part, data representing position and orientation of the part, its mass of the part, preferably its tolerance associated to each mass of the part, and its geometry in voxel format; b) decomposes a digital model of the physical product into a plurality of parallel slices (SL1); c) for each slice, uses the data structure for identifying a set of product parts of the data structure overlapping with the slice and determining a respective overlap rate; and d) attributes to each slice a mass value corresponding to a sum of the masses of all product parts overlapping with the slice, weighted by the respective overlap rates. A computer program product, non-transitory computer-readable data-storage medium, a computer system and a Computer Aided Design (CAD) Systems carry out such a method.

  • Patent number: 12617155
    Abstract: The present invention relates to adaptive object fabrication using enriched digital twins that incorporate voxel-based metadata tailored to environmental conditions and material performance. A machine-learned artificial intelligence (AI) engine selects substitute materials and predicts failure modes based on environmental context data, such as temperature, vibration, and chemical exposure. These insights are embedded into a voxel-based model as prescriptive metadata, generating an enriched digital twin configured for precise additive manufacturing. Secure transmission, cryptographic authorization, and compliance indexing ensure controlled and traceable fabrication. Unlike prior approaches, the system transforms digital twins into machine-executable fabrication directives that adapt dynamically to deployment-specific requirements. The invention enables context-aware object replication with improved survivability, regulatory compatibility, and manufacturing efficiency.
