  • Patent number: 10872184
    Abstract: A sewing analysis system includes: a sewing instruction unit, providing an instruction on an alignment position of a stitching line, seam allowance widths, and a stitching pitch; a cloth mesh creation unit, creating cloth meshes; a temporary stitching line creation unit, creating a temporary stitching line; a beam element creation unit, creating a beam element on the temporary stitching line; a spring element connection unit, connecting the beam elements of first paper pattern outer shape data and second paper pattern outer shape data by spring elements; a spring element connection unit, connecting the beam elements and the cloth meshes; and a seam allowance folding setting unit, folding seam allowances by applying loads in opposite directions respectively to the stitching lines and to peripheral edges on sides of the stitching lines of the first paper pattern outer shape data and second paper pattern outer shape data.

  • Patent number: 10600217
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a computational framework with related methods and systems to enhance the analysis of genomic information. More specifically, the disclosure provides for a graph-based reference genome framework, referred to as a GNOmics Graph Model (GGM), which represents genomic sequence information in edges with nodes representing transitions between edges. The disclosed GGM framework can represent all known polymorphisms simultaneously, including, SNPs, indels, and various rearrangements, in a data-efficient manner. The edges can contain weights to reflect the likelihood of a path within the GGM incorporating any particular edge. The disclosure also provides for systems and methods for using the GGM as a reference model for the rapid assembly of short sequence reads and analysis of DNA sequence variation with enhanced computational efficiency.

  • Patent number: 9355052
    Abstract: A dynamic DMA window mechanism can resize DMA windows dynamically by increasing one DMA window at the expense of reducing a neighboring DMA window. The dynamic DMA window mechanism can decide to dynamically resize DMA windows based on a request from a system administrator, based on a request by an operating system device driver for an I/O adapter, or based on a performance monitor determining such a resizing would benefit system performance. Once one DMA window has been increased by allocating a portion of a donor DMA window, device drivers for the I/O devices corresponding to the two windows are updated to reflect the new DMA window sizes.
