  • Patent number: 10442555
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting a structure. The apparatus may comprise a support, a load-balancing structure associated with the support, and a set of connection devices associated with the load-balancing structure. The set of connection devices may be configured to connect to the structure to form a set of control points. Each of the set of connection devices may be configured to independently control a location of a corresponding control point in the set of control points.

  • Patent number: 10181175
    Abstract: Methods for preprocessing pixel data using a Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine during a data transfer of the pixel data from a first memory (e.g., a DRAM) to a second memory (e.g., an SRAM) are described. The pixel data may derive from a color camera or a depth camera in which individual pixel values are not a multiple of eight bits. In some cases, the DMA engine may perform a variety of image processing operations on the pixel data prior to the pixel data being written into the second memory. In one embodiment, the DMA engine may be configured to determine whether one or more pixels corresponding with the pixel data may be invalidated or skipped based on a minimum pixel value threshold and a maximum pixel value threshold and to embed pixel skipping information within unused bits of the pixel data.

  • Patent number: 10133300
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a method of executing instructions in a processing core of a microprocessor. In one embodiment, the method comprises, in a first clock domain, receiving an input from a second clock domain external to the first clock domain, the input comprising an indication from the second clock domain regarding whether to execute an instruction in the first clock domain. The method further comprises synchronizing the input from the second clock domain with the first clock domain, if the instruction is a predicatable instruction and the indication matches a predicate condition that indicates not to perform the instruction, then not performing the instruction, and otherwise performing the instruction.

  • Publication number: 20180312277
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining a selected configuration for a structure. Metrology data for a support system is received while the support system holds the structure. A determination is made as to whether a current configuration of the structure is within selected tolerances of the selected configuration for the structure based on the metrology data. The support system is moved to move the structure held by the support system into the selected configuration in response to a determination that the current configuration of the structure is not within the selected tolerances of the selected configuration for the structure.

  • Publication number: 20180281318
    Abstract: A system and method for forming a composite part. The method comprises positioning a prepreg material relative to a composite forming tool. The composite forming tool comprises a frame associated with a shaping system, a base comprising at least one mold, and the shaping system associated with the frame and configured to move relative to the frame, the base, and the prepreg material. The method also lowers the shaping system of the composite forming tool towards the prepreg material. The method applies pressure to the prepreg material with a centerline presser of the shaping system. The method also applies a force to the prepreg material using a number of compliant elongate members of the shaping system to uniformly apply the prepreg material to the at least one mold of the base of the composite forming tool.

  • Patent number: 10000298
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining a selected configuration for a structure during a manufacturing process for forming a product using the structure. Metrology data for a support system is received. The support system holds the structure during the manufacturing process. A determination is made as to whether a current configuration of the structure is within selected tolerances of the selected configuration for the structure based on the metrology data. The support system is reconfigured to move the structure into the selected configuration in response to a determination that the current configuration of the structure is not within the selected tolerances of the selected configuration for the structure.

  • Publication number: 20180101799
    Abstract: The problem of business reliance on expert judgement is solved through charge number coding with an added code line for the complexity or work difficulty (a ‘complexity factor’). A complete charge number code provides the means to automate many business functions that are traditionally conducted through expert judgment. The primary purpose of the charge number code with Complexity Factor is to automate or assist in cost and schedule estimating. The use of a Complexity Factor in stored performance information provides the additional means for automating many Program Management, Business Development Management, and Personnel Management functions. These functions include personnel projections, scheduling, and assessment, program performance reporting, and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) creation. The complete charge number code also provides the means for data navigation through the System and an integrated Business and Program Information Systems.

  • Publication number: 20180029064
    Abstract: A robotic apparatus for painting a workpiece includes a redundant axis robot for use in a robotic painting system. The redundant axis of rotation provides the robot arm additional flexibility in avoiding obstacles and reaching an interior of the workpiece to apply paint thereto. The robotic apparatus could be a seven-axis robot arm or a five-axis parallel link panel opener robot arm for opening and/or closing the panel. The robot arms are mounted on at least one vertically oriented column adjacent a path of travel of the workpiece through a painting booth and the robot arms can be mounted on a common base.

  • Patent number: 9880867
    Abstract: The current document is directed to methods and subsystems for communication between virtualization layers and guest operating systems. A hardware baseboard management controller (“BMC”) provides an out-of-band communications link and management interface to a computer system that can be accessed by a system administrator through a remote console. A virtualization layer may provide a virtualized BMC (“vBMC”) that provides a data-and-command-exchange medium between a guest operating system and the virtualization layer. The virtualization layer may transmit commands, query status and configuration information, and transfer data through this data-and-command-exchange medium to the guest operating system.

  • Patent number: 9710878
    Abstract: Methods for preprocessing pixel data using a Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine during a data transfer of the pixel data from a first memory (e.g., a DRAM) to a second memory (e.g., a local cache) are described. The pixel data may derive from an image capturing device (e.g., a color camera or a depth camera) in which individual pixel values are not a multiple of eight bits. In some embodiments, the DMA engine may perform a variety of image processing operations on the pixel data prior to the pixel data being written into the second memory. In one example, the DMA engine may be configured to identify and label one or more pixels as being within a particular range of pixel values and/or the DMA engine may be configured to label pixels as belonging to one or more pixel groups based on their pixel values.
