Abstract: A learning and training process that memorizes traces of a learner solving an exercise, attaches meta labels to the learner traces, and compares the learner traces to reference traces of a referent solving the exercise, meta labels being attached to the reference traces.

Abstract: A process and device for simulating a product printed by a virtual press. The process implemented by the device includes creation of a three-dimensional object page, selection of at least one fold among a set of predetermined folds, with the selected folds corresponding to the folds produced on the product to be simulated, for each fold produced and selected, a modification of the three-dimensional object page by the addition of at least one fold line at a given position on the three-dimensional object page, construction of the simulated product starting from the modified three-dimensional object page, and a display of the simulated product constructed in this manner.

Abstract: A flexographic printing press simulation application provides virtual control of various types of flexographic printing presses. Running on an industry standard personal computer, the simulation application allows a user to modify a wide variety of printing process parameters and view the printed results. Process parameters and values can be adjusted for each component of the printing press, as well as for the materials utilized. The print images generated by the simulator reflect the parameter changes as they happen, and can be compared to a “proof” in real time using built-in virtual diagnostic tools. A training module provides for the creation of training curricula based on a library of printing process problems.

Abstract: A diagnostic system for a flexographic printing press operation. The diagnostic system includes a generic database containing problem solving data and a specialized database containing customized, user-specific operations data. The generic database can be stored centrally, while the specialized database is stored locally. An interactive data entry interface permits an operator to indicate print faults and access the databases. The system generates possible solutions to the print faults based on the information in the databases and the fault indicated by the operator. Once a solution is chosen, the databases are updated to further enhance the knowledge available to the system.
