  • Publication number: 20250242514
    Abstract: Embodiments provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for cutting wood workpieces, such as logs and cants, into desired products. In various embodiments, after a log is chipped into a cant, the cant may be scanned and re-optimized based on the new scan data and information about the source log, such as simulated orientation parameters, a 3D model, and/or potential cut solutions. In other embodiments, data from multiple sensor types may be used in combination to detect splits in logs, cants, or both. Optionally, re-optimization and split detection techniques may be used in combination to improve wood volume recovery, value, and/or throughput speed.

  • Patent number: 12225111
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a data storage device. A data port transmits data between a host computer system and the data storage device. A non-volatile storage medium stores encrypted user content data and a cryptography engine connected between the data port and the storage medium uses a cryptographic key to decrypt the encrypted user content data. Multiple manager device records each comprise a first key identical for each of the records, and a second key that different for each of the records. The controller generates an authorization request using the first key and receives a response to the request generated by a manager device. The response is specific to that manager device. The controller uses the response to locate the record; decrypts the located manager device record to obtain key data; and generates configuration data based on the key data to register the device.

  • Patent number: 12175117
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a data storage device. A data port transmits data between a host computer system and the data storage device. A non-volatile storage medium stores encrypted user content data and a cryptography engine connected between the data port and the storage medium uses a cryptographic key to decrypt the encrypted user content data. The access controller generates authorization request data indicative of multiple devices to be authorized, and stores the authorization request data on non-volatile configuration memory of the data storage device. Upon approval of the authorization request data by a manager device that is registered with the access controller as a manager device, the access controller locates the authorization request data of one of the multiple devices to be authorized and registers the one of the multiple devices to be authorized as an authorized device.

  • Publication number: 20240419856
    Abstract: Certain example embodiments model wood product production, including composite wood production such as, for example, plywood. Data is received for different factors, with first and second factors being moisture content distributions for face and core veneers. A first model is developed to model moisture content as a function of at least some of the factors. First and second effects on first and second results of interest are determined based on output from the first model being provided to a second model. First and second curves representing first and second aspects of the production are created based on output from the second model. The first and second result of interest are high and low moisture content related errors, and the first and second curves are indicative of first and second areas where high and low moisture content related errors are to be expected based on first and second sets of conditions.
