Abstract: A method for imputing data to a time series of events include collecting data relating to a plurality of events, storing the collected data in a database, defining a set of rules based on patterns observed, defining a new data relating to one of the plurality of events based on the set of rules. Defining additional rules and new data is iteratively performed based on new data and rules established in a prior iteration. The iterations may be stopped when no new rules or data is established in a previous iteration. The new data may be sequential temporal information of the event in the time series or may be a tag relating to the class of the event. The new data may be generated using rule mining. The new data is propagated to the rule mining and additional rules are defined based on the new data.

Abstract: The invention relates to an additive manufacturing method in which a component (10, 42, 43, 44, 45) is produced in layers using an energy beam (8, 41, 58) which solidifies a starting material (4) and is irradiated by energy beam irradiating means (9, 22, 31, 38, 39, 55, 59, 61) while the starting material (4) is held by a base surface (3, 15, 30, 36, 52) arranged on a base element (2, 16, 29, 35, 51). While the starting material (4) is being irradiated with the energy beam (8, 41, 58), the base element (2, 16, 29, 35, 51) is moved by a rotational component which has a base element rotational axis, wherein the starting material (4) is held on the base surface (3, 15, 30, 36, 52) by a centrifugal acceleration generated by the rotational component. The invention is characterized in that a rotational movement is produced for at least some of the energy beam irradiating means (9, 22, 31, 38, 39, 55, 59, 61).

Abstract: In a method and a device for recycling a thermoplastic fibre-reinforced composite material, which is in at least one deposition layer in a component (1), it is suggested that said fibre-reinforced composite material should be pulled off from the remaining component (1), in the direction of a main fibre direction, in at least one pull-off layer (10) comprising fibres and matrix material.
