Abstract: A computer system traces an original electronic design automation (EDA) implementation process for electronic hardware designs. The original EDA implementation process includes multiple subprocesses to convert a hardware model to a physically-realized electronic circuit. The system inputs a cryptographic key and design information that includes the hardware model, constraints, properties, implementation settings, and other directives for directing the conversion. The cryptographic key and design information are processed to generate a sequence of instructions to execute and provide traceability of each subprocess.

The melting vessel also includes a length L between the back wall and the front wall, and a width W between the first side wall and the second side wall orthogonal to the center line. A plurality of electrodes extend into an interior of the melting vessel through a bottom wall of the melting vessel, and L/W is in a range from about 2.0 to about 2.4.

Abstract: Apparatuses for interfacing with an electrode provided with a melting furnace including a vessel and an electrode. In some embodiments, a support assembly (50) supports the electrode outside of the vessel, and includes a cart (102) or similar apparatus that permits or facilitates selective vertical movement of the electrode and selective transverse movement of the electrode. In some embodiments, a push assembly (52) interfaces with a rear face of the electrode outside of the vessel, and is operable to apply a pushing force onto the rear face. The push assembly can include one or more tracks (e.g., threaded screw) that supports a body between opposing arms of a fixed frame. The body can translate along the tracks to apply a pushing force onto the electrode.

Abstract: A method of controlling a flowrate of molten material at a downstream location in a glass manufacturing process can include mixing the molten material at an upstream location positioned upstream from the downstream location relative to a flow direction of the molten material with a shaft including a plurality of protrusions. The method can also include measuring a torque of the shaft, measuring a level of the molten material at the upstream location, and calculating a viscosity of the molten material at the upstream location based on the measured torque and the measured level. In addition, the method can include estimating the flowrate based on the calculated viscosity, and controlling the flowrate at the downstream location based on the estimated flowrate.
