Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems to settle a transaction involving a plurality of digital assets, comprising receiving a notification of a proposed transaction comprising a plurality of proposed component atomic transactions that atomically transfer at least a portion of the plurality of digital assets from one or more transferring nodes to one or more receiving nodes. The method further comprises at least in part determining or verifying that each transferring and receiving computer node is cryptographically authorized to receive and/or transfer at least some of the plurality of digital assets, and that each transferring and receiving computer node has a sufficient amount of the plurality of digital assets. The method further comprises sending an authorization notification to at least one execution node to transfer the plurality of digital assets from the transferring computer nodes to the receiving computer nodes to settle the proposed transaction.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for locking a digital asset. In one implementation, the system may include a first computer node that reads a private data store associated with the first computer node and/or reads a distributed ledger to confirm a digital asset is unlocked and can be transferred from the first computer node. The first computer node cryptographically signs and sends a proposed digital lock to a second computer node. When activated, the digital lock prevents transfer of the digital asset from the first computer node to another computer node that is not the second computer node. The first computer node also reads a distributed ledger to confirm the distributed ledger contains the digital lock in an activated state. The first computer node transfers the digital asset from the first computer node to the second computer node.

Abstract: A system is provided for programming workpiece feature inspection operations for a coordinate measuring machine. The system includes a computer-aided design (CAD) file processing portion, a geometric relationship analyzer, an inspection motion path generation portion, and a user interface including an editable plan representation of a current workpiece feature inspection plan, a workpiece inspection program simulation portion configured to display a 3D view including geometric features and inspection operation representations, and a context sensitive menu portion. The context sensitive menu portion displays a context sensitive relational command menu that indicates a valid set of relational commands including relational feature or relational measurement commands operable to define a corresponding constructed feature or corresponding relational measurement operation to be included in the current workpiece feature inspection plan.

Abstract: Portions of document contents are separated into individually controlled sections on a user interface of a smaller size client device display. A document viewed on a mobile device may include different content portions such as textual content, tables, slides and graphics. Due to a smaller user interface of the mobile device, some portions of the content may extend outside of the user interface and may not all be visible at the same time. The user may use gestures to scroll through and resize the document to view all of the contents. The system may separate each of the different content portions into individual sections and enable the user to control each section separately, such that the user may navigate, resize, and reposition each individual section without affecting the size and position of the remaining sections of the document for optimally viewing the document on the user interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for efficiently permitting the transmission and receipt of trading messages between message sources configured to use a variety of different protocols. Messaging gateways may be configured to reformat messages for proper transmission across a transport mechanism. Messaging gateways may also insert sequence and group information into message headers to facilitate processing messages in the proper order. Messages may be processed with processing threads that are dynamically allocated by messaging gateways.

Abstract: A system is provided for programming workpiece feature inspection operations for a coordinate measuring machine. The system includes a computer aided design (CAD) file processing portion, an inspection motion path generation portion and a user interface. The user interface includes a workpiece inspection program simulation portion and auxiliary collision avoidance volume creation elements. The workpiece inspection program simulation portion displays a 3D view and the auxiliary collision avoidance volume creation elements are operable to create or define auxiliary collision avoidance volumes that are displayed in the 3D view. In various implementations, rather than requiring a user to model a physical object (e.g., as part of a workpiece or CMM) in a CAD file, the user may instead create and position an auxiliary collision avoidance volume at a location where the physical object is expected to be, so as to prevent collisions that could occur with the physical object.

Abstract: A system is provided for programming workpiece feature inspection operations for a coordinate measuring machine. The system includes a computer-aided design (CAD) file processing portion and a user interface comprising a 3D view, and editable plan representation. Both the 3D view and the editable plan representation are configure to be automatically responsive to operations in a first set of editing operations, regardless of whether the operations are performed in the 3D view or the editable plan representation of the user interface. The first set of editing operations may comprise deleting (or adding) at least one workpiece feature in the 3D view or the editable plan representation of the user interface, for example. Various other portions of the system (e.g. other user interface windows) may also be automatically responsive to the first set of editing operations, regardless of where the editing operations are performed in the user interface.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for programming workpiece feature inspection operations for a coordinate measuring machine. An editing environment is operated to display a 3-dimensional workpiece representation comprising a first surface feature of a workpiece. A first feature surface sampling pattern is created having at least one pattern parameter adjusted to correspond to a first surface feature of the workpiece. A corresponding representation of the sampling pattern includes operative sampling pattern locations located proximate to the first surface feature. User operations in the GUI further adjust pattern parameters of the sampling pattern. The further adjustment of the pattern parameters simultaneously affects a plurality of the sampling pattern locations.

Abstract: A method is provided for programming step and repeat operations of a machine vision inspection system. The machine vision inspection system includes an imaging portion, a stage for holding one or more workpieces in a field of view (FOV) of the imaging portion, a control portion, and a graphical user interface (GUI). According to the method, a user operates the machine vision inspection system to define a set of inspection operations to be performed on a first configuration of workpiece features. The user also operates the GUI to display a step and repeat dialog box, in which he defines a first plurality of parameters defining a set of default step and repeat locations for performing the defined set of inspection operations. The user further operates the GUI to define a set of inspection step and repeat locations, which is a subset of the defined set of default step and repeat locations, where the inspection operations are to be actually performed.
