Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for automatic creation of distributed ledger networks. A request to deploy a distributed ledger network is received by an automation framework. The request comprising a configuration file and is associated with a platform type for one or more platforms for deployment of the distributed ledger network. Configuration prerequisites are determined for performing installations of software components on the one or more platforms. In response to installing the software components, the software components are configured and executed to set up an environment for deploying the distributed ledger network by creating a build folder, copying the configuration file and key files for accessing a source code repository into the build folder, and updating the configuration file according to criteria associated with the platform type.

Abstract: A method of beam failure recovery managed by a transmitter of a communication system, includes: detecting a first occurrence of a beam failure between the transmitter and a receiver; based on the detection of the first occurrence of the beam failure, identifying at least one first reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) for transmitting at least one reference signal; transmitting the at least one reference signal to the at least one first RIS; receiving, from the at least one first RIS, a receiver feedback for the at least one of reference signal; generating an RIS candidate beam list based on the receiver feedback; and transmitting, to the receiver via the at least one first RIS, a radio resource control (RRC) message including the RIS candidate beam list as a beam failure recovery configuration.

Abstract: Tool wear monitoring is critical for quality and precision of manufacturing of parts in the machining industry. Existing tool wear monitoring and prediction methods are sensor based, costly and pose challenge in ease of implementation. Embodiments herein provide method and system for monitoring tool wear to estimate Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of a tool in machining is disclosed. The method provides a tool wear model, which combines tool wear physics with data fitting, capture practical considerations of a machining system, which makes the tool wear prediction and estimated RUL more stable, reliable and robust. Further, provides cost effective and practical solution. The disclosed physics based tool wear model for RUL estimation captures privilege of physics of tool wear and easily accessible data from CNC machine to monitor and predict tool wear and RUL of the tool in real-time.

Abstract: A framework for assessing technical feasibility of additive manufacturing of an engineering design. This framework needs to be based on preliminary identification of key parameters that influence the decision making process. The parameters may also be customized for a particular application. Each of these parameters can be assigned weightage either relative or arrived at by paired comparison using a pre-determined minimum point method. Each of the attributes are then assigned scores which are then multiplied by the weightages assigned. The summation of all such scores on a weighted average basis indicates the potential for 3D printing of that part or assembly. It offers to select the right part to leverage the benefit of additive manufacturing. It narrows down on the ideal manufacturing process for the qualified parts and proposes to reduce subjectivity by using paired comparison of attributes. It also provides a faster assessment of technical aspects of the design.

Abstract: A system for securing a secret word during a read of the secret word from a read-only memory (ROM) is disclosed. The system includes a memory controller coupled to the ROM and a random number generator coupled to the memory controller. The random number generator is configured to generate a random number. The system further includes a number shuffler coupled to the random number generator and the memory controller. The number shuffler is configured to generate a bit read order based on the random number and the memory controller is configured to read bits of the secret word from the ROM according to the bit read order.
