  • Publication number: 20170109120
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for preventing reference invalidation when reversing operations in synchronous collaborative applications may include (i) storing, on a client, a shared model of an engineering object including one or more features, (ii) receiving, from a user, an operation to be performed on the feature, (iii) before performing the operation, storing, in a command stack on the client, information sufficient to restore the feature to a state prior to performing the operation, (iv) receiving, from the user, a request to reverse the operation, (v) determining whether reversing the operation will create an invalid reference due to a conflicting operation having been performed on the feature at a second client, and (vi) in response to determining whether reversing the operation will create an invalid reference, reversing the operation or performing a resolution operation to prevent the reference invalidation. A system corresponding to the above method is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9577185
    Abstract: An integrated fluxgate device, which includes a magnetic core, an excitation coil, and a sense coil. The magnetic core has a longitudinal edge and a terminal edge. The excitation coil coils around the longitudinal edge of the magnetic core, and the excitation coil has a first number of excitation coil members within a proximity of the terminal edge. The sense coil coils around the longitudinal edge of the magnetic core, and the sense coil has a second number of sense coil members within the proximity of the terminal edge. For reducing fluxgate noise, the second number of sense coil members may be less than the first number of excitation coil members within the proximity of the terminal edge.

  • Publication number: 20160098494
    Abstract: As disclosed herein, a computer-implemented method includes detecting a first change made to a local CAD model by an analysis module on a first CAD client, propagating the first change to a centralized CAD model via a collaborative CAD server, receiving a second change from the centralized CAD model via the collaborative CAD server, wherein the second change was communicated to the centralized CAD model by a second CAD client that originated the second change, and updating the local CAD model with the second change. A corresponding computer system and computer readable medium are also disclosed herein.

  • Publication number: 20150363094
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and program product are disclosed for collaborative project management. One apparatus includes a selection module that receives a selection by a local user of an information handling device to display an application screen of a remote user of multiple remote users. The application screen of the remote user displays a project used by the multiple remote users in a collaborative environment. The apparatus includes a display module that displays on the information handling device the application screen of the remote user. The application screen of the remote user is updated immediately as modifications to the project are made.

  • Publication number: 20150350273
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and program product are disclosed for collaborative project modification. One apparatus includes an enabling module that enables a first group of users to modify a first portion of a project in a collaborative environment. The apparatus includes a blocking module that blocks a second portion of the project from being modified by the first group of users. The apparatus includes an updating module that, for the first group of users, conducts immediate updates to the first portion of the project after a user of the first group of users modifies the first portion of the project and conducts deferred updates to the second portion of the project after a user of a second group of users modifies the second portion of the project.

  • Patent number: 9163410
    Abstract: A roofing laminate includes a roofing membrane, preferably a white roofing membrane, which is covered with a protective sheet. The protective sheet is tinted so that it has a coloration distinguishable from the roofing. The roofing laminate is applied to a roof surface and the release liner protects the outer surface of the membrane from scrapes and dirt during installation. Once the roof is installed the protective sheets are removed from all of the membrane sheets, exposing a clean surface.

  • Publication number: 20150169844
    Abstract: A system and method for managing treatment of a disorder of a person are disclosed. Data from multiple sources is collected in a data warehouse by a server computer. The data is associated with the disorder, and the sources including a clinical data source and a real-time monitoring source associated with the person. The collected data is normalized against a population of persons sharing the disorder. The normalized data is then associated with the person to generate a treatment regime of the disorder. A compliance by the person with the treatment regime is then calculated based on operational metrics for the population and the data collected from the plurality of sources.

  • Patent number: 8734876
    Abstract: A confectionary product has a hollow, pliable tube containing a flowable confectionary material and an enlarged head secured to one end of the tube, the opposite end of the tube being sealed. The head has one or more dispensing openings on its outer surface. In one case, the head is solid and a passageway extends through the head from an inlet end communicating with the tube at one end and at least one dispensing opening at the other end. In another case, the head is hollow and has a plurality of openings. The wall of the tube can be squeezed to force the flowable confection through the head and out through the opening or openings for consumption. In one embodiment, the head is of edible material such as hard candy and is consumed after substantially all of the confectionary material is squeezed out of the tube and consumed.
