Abstract: A model-based functional hazard assessment (FHA) is disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus for generating a model-based FHA associated with a product includes an associator to associate a function of the product to a failure condition to define a first association, and associate a hazard assessment with the failure condition to define a second association, and associate a safety requirement with the hazard assessment to define a third association. The apparatus also includes an organizer to generate the FHA based on the first, second, and third associations. Disclosed examples include automated FHA data validation capabilities.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and apparatus for automating design, analysis, and product management synchronization in a model-based systems engineering environment. An analysis template is linked to a system architecture representing a product to be manufactured. A set of properties for an architectural element of the system architecture is extracted based on an analysis instance created from the analysis template. The set of properties is converted into a variable input-output structure. An analysis is run using the variable input-output structure to generate results. The results are linked to the analysis instance such that the analysis instance provides a time-based record of the analysis; to the system architecture to update a set of architectural elements impacted by the results; and to a product management tool, thereby synchronizing the design, the analysis, and the product management of the product to improve an efficiency in the design and manufacturing of the product.

Abstract: A method for internet communication is presented. An identifier is embedded in an internet-accessible computer readable medium, and an internet address is embedded in the internet-accessible computer readable medium in a relation to the identifier. The identifier is located to provide an identifier location, and the internet address is located based on the identifier location.
