  • Global optimization of networks of locally fitted objects
    Patent number: 10628533
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include global optimization of networks of locally fitted objects. An electronic representation of a network of intelligent objects is received. The network includes a plurality of intelligent objects and a plurality of gaps greater than a threshold between at least three of the intelligent objects. An aligned model of the network is created where all gaps in the aligned model of the network are less than the threshold. The creating includes optimizing a first plurality of the intelligent objects towards an axis of a second plurality of intelligent objects, and aligning the second plurality of intelligent objects towards the first plurality of intelligent objects. The optimizing and aligning are iteratively performed until a stopping condition is met. The aligned model of the network is output.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for producing computer-assisted real-time systems
    Patent number: 7085198
    Abstract: A method for producing a computer-assisted real-time system that includes at least one processing unit. Data exchange between the processing unit and the environment or one or more additional processing units is synchronous or asynchronous. At least one real clock is allocated to the processing unit to correlate data exchange.
