Abstract: A system including a first device having a first communication interface structured to communicate via a first communication protocol and a second communication interface structured to communicate via a second communication protocol, and a second device having a first communication interface structured to communicate via the first communication protocol. The first communication protocol is a short range wireless communication protocol and the second communication protocol is a native internet protocol. The first device is structured to receive data from the second device via the first communication protocol and to transmit the received data via the second communication protocol.

Abstract: An intelligent sensor-activated light control device including at least one ambient light sensor is described herein. In one exemplary, non-limiting embodiment, the motion is detected via one or more motion sensors. An ambient light level is then determined using one or more ambient light sensors, and a light control device causes light to be output at an output light level associated with the determined ambient light level. In one embodiment, the output light level is further determined based on a current time interval during with which the motion is detected.

Abstract: A method and system for computer aided design, (e.g., of products and other items), are disclosed herein. The method may include receiving a CAD model having a behavior defined by a plurality of relationships, receiving a user operation to edit a seed feature in the CAD model, and identifying a set of problem relationships from the plurality of relationships, wherein the set of problem relationships prevent implementation of the received user operation to the received CAD model. A category for each relationship in the set of problem relationships is selected. The behavior of the CAD model is reconfigured based on the selected category for each problem relationship by retaining any user-defined relationships, optionally retaining any optional relationships, and ignoring any relaxed relationships. The user operation is then performed according to the reconfigured behavior to produce a modified CAD model.

Abstract: A method of automatically identifying a network of geometries is performed on a data processing system. The method includes receiving one or more geometries having all or part of a network of geometries; recognizing adjacent tangencies to automatically identify another geometry in the network, or to determine that each geometry is connected to its neighbor through adjacent tangencies; repeating the recognition step until all geometries forming the network of geometries have been determined; and labelling the identified network as a slotdog.

Abstract: Methods for identifying geometric clones in a modelling system, or simulating modifications to construction of a multi-part product and corresponding data processing systems and computer readable media. A method includes choosing a template of a geometric form and generating and storing a map of the template, identifying a candidate geometric form in the system and exploring the identified candidate geometric form from a start point until returning to the start point or reaching a branch. The method includes generating a map of the explored candidate geometric form, comparing the map of the explored candidate geometric form with the map of the template and labelling the candidate geometric form as a clone if it matches a predetermined portion of the template.

Abstract: A foodstuff item characteristic detection system (10) comprising: a magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, apparatus (12); a conveyor (14,16,18) for conveying a plurality of foodstuff items (11) such that the foodstuff items are imaged by the MRI apparatus (12) to produce MRI image data; and a computer configured to process the process the MRI image data to enhance the image data such that a predetermined foodstuff item characteristic is identifiable. The system (10) is configured such that, in use, a plurality of foodstuff items (11) are conveyed by the conveyor (14,16,18) such that all of the foodstuff items (11) are imaged by the MRI apparatus (12) to produce MRI image data and the MRI image data is processed by the computer to enhance the MRI image data such that the predetermined foodstuff item characteristic is identifiable.

Abstract: Methods for simulating modifications to construction of a part of a multi-part product, or editing a model, corresponding data processing systems and computer readable media. A method of includes identifying one or more regions of interest in the model and separating the one or more regions from the model to form a separated region and a base model. The method includes applying a change to the separated region to form a changed separated region; re-connecting the changed separated region to the base model to form a changed model; and outputting the resulting topology.

Abstract: User access to a protected resource is controlled by: intercepting a request from a client browser (80) directed to a server (50); requesting user credentials from the client browser (80); processing user credentials received from the client browser (80) to authenticate the user (20); redirecting the client browser (80) to an authorization server (70) configured to issue a token credential; intercepting an authorization request from the browser (80) to the authorization server (70), and inserting into the authorization request an HTTP header variable indicating the authentication status of the user (20). The authorization server (70) is arranged to issue a token credential, which may be used by the user (20) to obtain a token for indicating to a server (50) hosting the protected resource authorization of the user (20) to access the protected resource.

Abstract: Aided preventive diagnostics of an aircraft system, comprising a plurality of subsystems at least one of which comprises a subsystem configured for monitoring and notifying a detected event, using critical event charts. After receiving a message notifying the occurrence of said detected event, a minimal diagnostic set relative to said at least one detected event, comprising a plurality of elements each represented by a node of said critical event chart is created, each element of said minimal diagnostic set being determined according to at least one logical implication relation of said critical event chart with a node representing said at least one received notification message. At least some of the elements of said minimal diagnostic set are then ranked, said ranked elements forming part of said diagnostic report.

Abstract: Aided analysis of the failure tolerance of an aircraft system, comprising a plurality of subsystems at least one of which comprises a monitoring unit and notification of a detected event, using critical event charts. After selecting at least one receivable notification message represented by a node of the critical event chart, elements of the minimal diagnostic set capable of resulting in the generation of the at least one selected notification message are identified, the identified elements forming part of the failure tolerance report.
