  • Publication number: 20230315757
    Abstract: A method for managing data synchronization for a database having a dynamic schema, the method comprising: generating, at a first client device, a first changeset that is representative of an operation on a data object in a database; transmitting a synchronization request for synchronizing the database with one or more changesets generated by a second client device; receiving a second changeset that is representative of an operation performed by the second client device on the data object, wherein the database is shared between the first client device and the second client device; and merging, at the first client device, the first changeset and the second changeset to update the data object, wherein the merging is performed based on data received from a plurality of the one or more servers operating in parallel to each other.

  • Patent number: 11693868
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods that can extract part data from a PLM database and suggest changes to the manufacturing of the part. In one example, the method may include querying a database for a plurality of values of a part to be manufactured from a plurality of fields of computer-aided design (CAD) file stored in the database, mapping the plurality of fields of the CAD file to a plurality of corresponding fields of a host platform based on a type of the database, extracting the plurality of values from the CAD file and transferring the plurality of values to the mapped plurality of corresponding fields of the host platform, determining changes to one or more manufacturing attributes of the part to be manufactured based on the transferred plurality of values, and outputting the changes to a display.

  • Publication number: 20230137274
    Abstract: A foot rest assembly for a motorcycle, where the foot rest assembly has a main body extending along a main body axis from a first end to a second end, a mounting bracket attached to the first end of the main body, and a rotatable body rotatably supported on the foot rest assembly. The main body is configured to support a foot of a user when the foot rest assembly is mounted to a motorcycle. The rotatable body, which may be one or more wheels and/or rollers, is configured to rotate along the ground when the rotatable body contacts the ground as a result of motorcycle operation. The rotatable body is configured to rotate around a rotary axis, which may be obliquely angled relative to the main body axis.

  • Publication number: 20230032875
    Abstract: A barrier system may include an impact receiving post having a sidewall defining an inner cavity. The impact receiving post may be bendable and may have a proximal end, a distal end, and a post length as measured from the proximal end to the distal end. An insert may be positionable within the inner cavity. The insert may have an insert proximal end, an insert distal end, and an insert length as measured from the insert proximal end to the insert distal end, the insert length being less than the post length. A foundation cage may be coupled to the proximal end of the impact receiving post. The foundation cage may include a plurality of members that form a three-dimensional lattice structure. The foundation cage may be configured for installation beneath a ground surface.

  • Patent number: 11449146
    Abstract: The interactive holographic human-computer interface (H2CI) includes a local system in communication with an external system, and a holographic display unit for constructing and displaying one or more holograms. The one or more holograms emits electromagnetic radiation. The interface further includes a motion detector for detecting motion, type of motion, dwell time, and location of a physical command object relative to the displayed hologram, and sensors on the external system to determine the location of two or more physical objects relative to each other. Emission and detection by the one or more displayed holograms of electromagnetic radiation is used to simulate electrical, vibration, or other physical phenomena characteristic of the physical objects represented by the one or more displayed holograms. The emitted electromagnetic radiation is converted into a command signal when the electromagnetic radiation is detected by another hologram.
