Abstract: A method and a system for scheduling apparatuses in a production line are disclosed. Each of the apparatuses on the production line includes one or more functional modules, each of the functional modules have a task sequence, and a task sequence includes one or more tasks. The method includes: obtaining a queuing time required for executing each of the tasks in the task sequence of the functional module; identifying a task that has a shortest queuing time in the task sequence as a target task; executing the target task; removing the target task from the task sequence and obtaining an updated queuing time required for executing each of the tasks in the task sequence. The method divides the apparatuses on the production line apparatus into a plurality of independent functional modules and executes the task having the shortest queuing time first with respect to each of the functional modules.

Abstract: A system for security health monitoring and attestation of virtual machines in cloud computing systems is provided. The system includes a cloud server having a virtual machine and a hypervisor. The cloud server collects security measurement information and signs and hashes the security measurement information using a cryptography engine. The system also includes an attestation server for receiving the hashed security measurement information from the cloud server. The attestation server also verifies the signature and hash values, and interprets the security measurement information. The attestation server generates an attestation report based on the verification and interpretation of the security measurement information.

Abstract: A method of additively manufacturing a three-dimensional object may be performed using an irradiation sequence that is based at least in part on a predicted location of one or more fume plumes emitted from the powder material when irradiated by a plurality of energy beams. An exemplary method may include determining, with a computing device, an irradiation sequence for selectively consolidating powder material using an energy beam system of an additive manufacturing machine, and providing control commands, from the computing device to the energy beam system, configured to cause the energy beam system to emit a plurality of energy beams to selectively consolidate the powder material.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable mediums for detecting and avoiding loss of separation between vehicles. A first method may include training a vehicle interaction machine learning model to predict future vehicle interactions based on identified vehicle interactions and an identified risk of encounter between two or more selected vehicles. A second method may include obtaining real-time data associated with a vehicle-of-interest; evaluating the real-time data associated with the vehicle-of-interest to form encounter models; monitoring the encounter models with a model access function of the vehicle interaction machine learning model to detect real-time anomalies; and in response to detecting a real-time anomaly, transmitting an alert.

Abstract: A system includes an endoscope including a scope and an image sensor. The image sensor is configured to capture medical image data that includes effective image portion data and a mechanical vignetting portion data, the mechanical vignetting portion data of the medical image data being generated due to mechanical vignetting caused by a difference in the image sensor which generates the medical image data and the scope. There is also circuitry configured to determine evaluation information from image data which is from the effective image portion data, and execute a control process to at least partially control at least one of an autofocus processing, and an auto white balance processing on the endoscope on the basis of the evaluation information.

Abstract: A robotic arm includes a plurality of joints and a plurality of links, each connecting two adjacent joints to one another in a fixed arrangement. At least one of the links includes at least one first casing shell and at least one second casing shell, wherein the first casing shell is connected to the second casing shell in a form-fitting manner in order to form a hollow link, and wherein structure connecting the casing shells includes at least one zip fastener.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a shooting board jig device. The device is comprised of a body having a base plate and a guide fence. The guide fence can be repositioned at a plurality of angles within a 360-degree range of movement atop the base plate and secured in said position via a pin. A hand planer known in the art can further be positioned along any side of the base plate. The generally L-shaped guide fence can then receive a board. The board is then placed towards the hand planer at the selected angle, such that the planar can be used to plane the edge or the end of the board. In this manner, the device allows a user to plane a board at a plurality of desired angles.

Abstract: A miniature smart lock comprises a lock shell, and a magnetic rod, a push head, a bolt, a V-shaped push rod, an anti-prising guide slot, and a positioning guide pin, which are mounted in the lock shell, wherein a magnetic coil is mounted surrounding an outer portion of the magnetic rod; a magnetic rod spring is mounted on the magnetic rod on the left side of the magnetic coil; the push head is mounted at the right end of the magnetic rod; the V-shaped push rod is connected to the right end of the push head via a V-shaped push rod connection pin; and the V-shaped push rod is movably connected to the bolt via an anti-prising pin.

Abstract: A method of producing a custom medical device including a splint or brace for immobilization of a selected region of a patient's body part. The custom medical device is produced in accordance with the following operations: (a) production of a three-dimensional mold of a portion of the patient's body part including the selected region onto which the desired medical device is to be placed; (b) definition of a three-dimensional shape of the desired medical device covering the selected region; (c) generation of a two-dimensional template corresponding to the defined three-dimensional shape, and which corresponds to unfolding in a two-dimensional plane of the three-dimensional shape of the desired medical device; (d) production of at least one plate of moldable material in accordance with the two-dimensional template of the desired medical device; and (e) molding of the plate of moldable material onto the three-dimensional mold to shape the desired medical device.
