  • Publication number: 20240070331
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software for filtering components, such as hardware components, compatible with computer-modeled structures are presented. A compatible components system provides selection methods that present components compatible with computer-aided design (CAD) models designed in computer modeling software. The system executes methods designed to filter components made available to designers using attribute information of the features and attribute information of the components. Designers may interact with the compatibility methods numerous times, narrowing components through a series or number of filtering steps until a desired compatible component is easily selected. The computer modeling software may include graphical user interfaces for selecting component source locations, filtering types of components presented by the system, and adding components to CAD models.

  • Publication number: 20240054537
    Abstract: A system comprising an electronic pricing system configured to receive information corresponding to a designed product and determine an initial price(s) as well as initial values of other business variables associated with the price. The system allows a user to enter a change to a price or the other business variable to instantly discover how the change affects other variables and optionally how the change affects one or more allowable ranges of acceptable values of other variables. The user can then lock the value of one or more of the variables and prices and change others to instantly discover how a change to one affects the others. The user can then order manufacture of the designed product as a function of values of price and other business variables.

  • Patent number: 10264175
    Abstract: An event venue with a performance area (e.g., a sport field or auditorium stage) and an eventgoer area (e.g., stadium seating or bleachers) may include a set of eventgoer cameras trained on various sections of the eventgoer area and a set of performance cameras trained on the performance area. The event venue may also include sensors. When an event occurrence (e.g., a goal or touchdown) is detected using the cameras and/or sensors, at least one photo or video of the event occurrence may be captured by the performance cameras, and at least one photo or video of the eventgoer reaction may be captured using the eventgoer cameras. Facial recognition may then be used to identify particular eventgoers in each photo or video. Identified eventgoers can then receive photos or videos in which they are identified along with performance photos or videos that were captured at roughly the same time.
