Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to move the solving of multi-physics engineering simulations away from specific CAE, or combination CAD and CAE, applications. In one embodiment, an Application Programming Interface (API) is provided that can be integrated into any device, system, application, or software workflow. The API exposes a series of functions or modules that a user can use to create a simulation file that includes parameters such as a model for the simulation, physics for the simulation, timings for the simulation, and other parameters. The simulation file may then be executed on one or more nodes of a cloud-based computer cluster, and the results of executing the simulation can be provided back to the user. The user may then visualize the results using their preferred device, software, application, or workflow.

Abstract: Injector (14) for injecting a liquid formulation into a molten polymer includes outlet (21) at one end and, at its other end, is arranged to be connected to upstream conduit (25) via a coupling housing (26) so that liquid formulation can pass from conduit into the injector, and further includes an elongate conduit (27) in which an elongate pin is slideably arranged being capable of expelling all liquid formulation from conduit. To address the risk the outlet could become blocked in use, whilst avoiding the need to depressurize and/or stop the flow or polymer in extruder (19), the injection apparatus includes a spool (34) which is rotatably mounted within wall (35) of the extruder and is arranged to be rotated about an axis which extends substantially perpendicularly to the elongate extent of the extruder through which a polymer stream (18) flows.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for producing a regenerated hydrogenation catalyst from a fouled hydrogenation catalyst having a total surface area and at least one associated impurity. The method can include maintaining contact between the fouled hydrogenation catalyst and a flushing medium that comprises water, oxygen, and an inert or diluent gas at a regeneration temperature and a regeneration pressure sufficient to remove at least a portion of the at least one impurity from the hydrogenation catalyst to produce the regenerated hydrogenation catalyst, where the regenerated hydrogenation catalyst is characterized as retaining at least 70% of the activity of the hydrogenation catalyst.

Abstract: A container (10) and a method facilitating measuring a member, for example measuring the length or perimeter of a user's lower leg e.g. the calf and/or ankle. The method comprises aligning and locating a first datum (24) of the container (10) against a second datum on the member followed by rolling the container's perimeter relative to a section of the member to be measured. Measurement is complete when the container (10) has rolled from the first datum (24) along the minor surfaces until a point of the container (10) reaches an extremity of the member/dimension being measured; the extremity may be the second datum, where a circumference of a member is being measured. When rolling the perimeter of the container (10) is complete a point of the container face (12) will be aligned with a point representing the extremity of the dimension being measured or the second datum. Alignment of two points at the extremity of the measured member is indicative of the dimension of the member.

Abstract: A handheld controller may include a movable control that is usable for activating and deactivating a motion control feature of the handheld controller based on a detection of, or a failure to detect, a finger contacting a surface of the movable control. For example, a touch sensor associated with the movable control may provide touch sensor data indicative of a proximity of a finger relative to the movable control, and based on this touch sensor data, the motion control feature of the handheld controller can be toggled on and off, depending on whether the finger is contacting the movable control or not. When the motion control feature is activated, motion sensor data from a motion sensor(s) is sent to an application (e.g., a video game) as application input. When the motion control feature is deactivated, the motion sensor data is not used as application input.

Abstract: A force sensing resistor (FSR) that is constructed with a first substrate made of polyimide disposed underneath a second substrate that is resistive and flexible. A handheld controller for an electronic system may include the FSR having a first substrate made of polyimide. The FSR may be mounted on a planar surface of a structure within the controller body, such as a structure mounted within a handle of the controller body, and/or a structure that is mounted underneath at least one thumb-operated control that is included on a head of the controller body. The FSR may be configured to measure a resistance value that corresponds to an amount of force applied to an outer surface of the handle and/or an amount of force applied to the at least one thumb-operated control.

Abstract: A refrigeration cabinet assembly for a refrigeration appliance (1) comprises a cabinet (20) having five closed faces and an open front face providing access to an interior of the cabinet. A lateral stiffening arrangement (50, 51) is provided within the cabinet to resist bending or bowing of the side walls, particularly when the cabinet includes upper and lower compartments, the upper compartment having a door hinged to the cabinet. The lateral stiffening arrangement reduces door droop. A torsionally stiff structure may also be fixed to one of the five closed faces (23) or a structure (31) could be added to one of the five closed faces (23) so that together with that closed face a torsionally stiff structure results. The torsional stiffness of the assembly is thereby increased beyond that of the cabinet alone so that the insulated cabinet has an improved ability to resist twisting, further reducing door droop.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated resource allocation during a computational simulation are described herein. An example method includes analyzing a set of simulation inputs to determine a first set of computing resources for performing a simulation, and starting the simulation with the first set of computing resources. The method also includes dynamically analyzing at least one attribute of the simulation to determine a second set of computing resources for performing the simulation, and performing the simulation with the second set of computing resources. The second set of computing resources is different than the first set of computing resources.

Abstract: Logic of a handheld controller can implement sensor fusion algorithms based on force data provided by a force sensing resistor (FSR) in combination with touch data or proximity data provided by a touch sensor or an array of proximity sensors, respectively. An example sensor fusion algorithm can be used to re-calibrate the FSR when an object contacts an associated control, as detected by the touch sensor. Another example sensor fusion algorithm can be used to ignore spurious inputs detected by the FSR when an object is in contact with an adjacent control. Another example sensor fusion algorithm can be used to detect a hand size of a hand grasping a handle of the controller, as detected by the array of proximity sensors, and to adjust the threshold force to register a FSR input event at the FSR according to the hand size.
