Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for generating a user interface. A sketch (e.g., wireframe) of a portion of a user interface is received. The sketch is analyzed to predict a set of intended sketches using artificial intelligence based on historical data and/or the user's asset library. A set of intended final sketch renderings of the user interface is then generated and displayed using the set of predicted intended sketches based on historical data or a model trained to extract visual characteristics from existing user interface screens. If the user selects one of the intended final sketch renderings of the user interface as being directed to the intended design of the user interface and indicates that the selected intended final sketch rendering of the user interface corresponds to the final intended design, then code is generated to render the selected final sketch rendering of the user interface.

Abstract: Disclosed are a machining method and a machining device improving machining efficiency and preserving workpiece surface integrity. The machining method improving machining efficiency and preserving workpiece surface integrity includes: setting a workpiece (300) and a machining unit (400); and machining the workpiece (300) by the machining unit (400) at a preset machining speed, wherein the preset machining speed is not lower than a machining speed corresponding to the embrittlement of the workpiece material. By the machining method, the machining speed of the machining unit (400) is set during machining, which results in “skin effect” of subsurface damage caused by the embrittlement of the workpiece material (300) and enables the damage depth of the workpiece (300) to be confined in a shallow subsurface layer, so that the damage depth of the workpiece (300) is reduced, the workpiece integrity is preserved, and the machining quality and the machining efficiency are improved.

Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a metal pipe from a metal plate using a forming tool, the position of the tool is optimized simply and correctly by incorporating individuality of the raw material plate into setting of the tool position. As a preparatory stage, a forming process is analyzed by simulation for each plate. Based on result of the analysis, correlation between a deformed shape value of a raw pipe and tool position information is acquired. Then, the forming process for each plate is stored as correlation between the deformed shape value of the raw pipe and the tool position information. During pipe manufacturing, a deformed shape value of the raw pipe is measured actually while a plate is passed. On the basis of the actually measured deformed shape value, a forming process for the raw pipe is expected and assumed (by using the correlation). Tool position information necessary for implementing the expected and assumed forming process is retrieved from the stored correlation.

Abstract: An adaptive measurement and calculation method for luminescence values of a chemiluminescence analyzer is provided. A fixed step length is adopted for continuous multi-point reading to obtain a complete correspondence diagram of detection positions and luminescence values. Two nearest luminescence values on the left and right sides of a maximum value are selected, the nearest luminescence values on both sides are connected to form a straight line, and an intersection of two straight lines is taken as an approximate maximum luminescence value. The measurement and calculation method can adapt to random positions of the detected object, and stably obtain the approximate maximum luminescence value, thus reducing increased complex hardware design and cost to confirm accuracy of the measurement position.
