Abstract: A method and an arrangement for producing a workpiece using additive manufacturing techniques involve pre-process, in-process and post-process measurement in order to determine individual characteristics of one or more workpiece layers. In particular, dimensional and/or geometrical characteristics of a workpiece layer are measured before the next workpiece layer is produced. Advantageously, production parameters are controlled in response to individual material characteristics determined prior to the production process. Also advantageously, measurement results are fed back into a production process in order to increase accuracy, reliability, repeatability and precision of the production process.

Abstract: A facility for organizing worker records is configured to assist users in assigning training classes to the workers. The facility obtains new worker records identifying one or more workers and accesses existing worker records from a repository of worker records. The facility merges the new worker records and the existing worker records, and identifies duplicate records within the merged records. The facility removes the duplicate record from the merged records. The facility presents visual information describing one or more training classes which may be assigned to the one or more workers. The facility obtains user input specifying that at least one of the one or more training classes be assigned to at least one of the one or more workers.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for the wireless transmission of a signal transmitted from a sensor to a supply apparatus (for example a control system) via at least one line, having electrical connections for the line and having an electronic transmitter apparatus that has an electronic circuit for tapping the signal and a transmitter with which the tapped signal can be wirelessly transmitted. The device is in the form of a plug adapter that has a plug housing, wherein a first plug part and a second plug part are attached to the plug housing, wherein the first plug part is connected to the second plug part via at least one signal conductor arranged within the plug housing for wired transmission of the signal, and wherein the electronic transmitter apparatus is arranged in the plug housing in order to tap off the signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for electronically analyzing a time-variant signal (Ue(t)) having at least one extreme value, the amplitude and time of which are to be detected, by means of a detection circuit that operates as a peak value store and follows the time-variant signal after a threshold value (Us) is exceeded until the maximum amplitude is reached, wherein exceedance of the extreme value results in a peak indicator signal (Usi(t)) being generated and the maximum amplitude being stored, which is characterized in that to capture more than one extreme value in the time-variant signal, the tracking of the signal (Ue(t)) is deactivated after production of the first peak indicator signal and after a drop below the threshold value and, after the signal exceeds the threshold value again as time progresses, further tracking of the signal (Ue(t)) is activated until the next extreme value to be detected is reached and a further peak indicator signal (Usi(t)) is generated and this further maximum amplitude

Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium to provide a service to members enrolled with the service, the method including obtaining non-public transaction information concerning transactions between business trading entities belonging to a networked platform, the non-public transaction information including details of, at least, buying and selling of goods and services between the entities; storing the non-public transaction information in a centrally accessible storage facility; anonymizing the non-public transaction information; analyze the non-public transaction information based on, at least, an aggregation of the non-public transaction information; and delivering a record of the analysis to members of a business network.

Abstract: Embodiments detect differences between software systems by comparing statements collected therefrom in an order of execution. Highlighting point(s) of divergence between the executed statements allows rapid localization of differences between the software systems, which may be minor and otherwise difficult to discern within large volumes of underlying code. In some embodiments a highlighted departure in statement order may be attributable to slight code differences between the two software systems. In other embodiments the software systems may have identical code but reference different configuration data (e.g. as configuration files), a subtle distinction also revealed by comparing an order of executed statements. Certain embodiments may perform tracing/comparison between an order of execution of only selected statement types (e.g., SQL operations, database access, kernel events) based upon their specificity and ability to reveal significant functional differences.

Abstract: The testing of services techniques include a method, a system, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. In some embodiments of these techniques, the method includes receiving a first payload generated by a first service. The first service transmits the first payload to a system. The method further includes receiving a second payload from a second service. The second payload is generated based on data received from the first service. The method further includes receiving a schema associated with the second payload. The schema is configured to define the structure of the second payload. The method further includes determining one or more discrepancies between the second payload and the first payload using the schema associated with the second payload.
