Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, a system and method for automatically updating a multi-hierarchal representation of the system when building and tracking an automation engineering environment, wherein navigation schemes that automatically search for and connect to engineering objects based on predefined relations in multi-dimensional hierarchies are defined within an engineering object of the automation project in order to react to changes within a multi-disciplinary automation project, where the engineering object also includes an intelligent extraction port that automatically extracts predefined property data from a source engineering object when the source engineering object is connected to the engineering object.

Abstract: In the case of a method for automatically controlling an electrohydraulic pressing tool, in particular for producing pipe connections, to actuate the pressing tool a hydraulic piston is moved, in that fluid is pumped into a hydraulic cylinder by a hydraulic pump driven by an electric motor. When a limiting pressure in the hydraulic cylinder is reached, a pressure relief valve opens, and so the hydraulic fluid can flow into a reservoir. With the aid of a control device, a current drop at the motor is detected when the valve opens. The electric motor is switched off when the current falls by a predetermined value (?I) and/or decreases over a predetermined time period (?t) after reaching a limiting current.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program for preserving design intent of a Non-Uniform Rational B-spline (NURBS) surface without representation of a parent surface, comprising representing an output surface having control points that is independent from a refinement of the surface; interpolating a base surface from the output surface; calculating a delta vector that is a difference between the output surface and the base surface; and transforming the delta vector based upon a local coordinate system of a normal vector and a tangent plane of the base surface and appropriate means and computer-readable instructions.
