  • Patent number: 10761867
    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.

  • Patent number: 10699042
    Abstract: First FEA mesh model representing 3-D geometry of a carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRC) product/part, pre-forming fiber orientation and desired reference fiber direction at a particular location on the product/part are received. First FEA mesh model contains finite elements associated with respective material properties for carbon fibers and binding matrix. Pre-forming fiber orientation includes number of fibers and relative angles amongst the fibers. Pre-forming 2-D shape of a workpiece used for manufacturing the product/part is obtained by conducting a one-step inverse numerical simulation that numerically expands the first to a second FEA mesh model based on numerically-calculated structural behaviors according to respective material properties. Pre-forming fiber orientation is superimposed on the second FEA mesh model with the desired reference fiber direction being preserved.
