Patent number: 11947491Abstract: In an aspect an apparatus for geometric part searching is presented. An apparatus includes at least a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the at least a processor. At least a processor is configured to generate a search index as a function of a plurality of part specification files. At least a processor is configured to receive an input part specification file. At least a processor is configured to generate a query for an input part as a function of an input part specification file and a search index. A query is configured to output a comparison of an input part specification file to a part estimation specification file. At least a processor is configured to identify a matching part estimation file from a plurality of query results.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Paperless Parts, Inc.Inventors: Scott M.

Patent number: 8792786Abstract: Data locality constraints are alleviated by a data processing system and method of reorganizing data. Multiple electronic components are configured to modulate a light beam on a shared photonic interconnect and to detect the data according to a global schedule to reorganize data across the multiple electronic components. By constructing data transfer patterns in a shared photonic interconnect, rather than in dedicated reorganization hardware, data is reorganized while in transit, greatly accelerating the reorganization of data, and reducing the amount of power-consuming hardware necessary to achieve the task.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2012Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: David J. Whelihan, Scott M. Sawyer, Jeffrey J. Hughes

Patent number: 8331189Abstract: A dynamic memory module is fitted with a tamper detection circuit and a memory clear circuit responsive to a detected tampering signal for clearing the memory. A power retention circuit powers the memory, the tamper detection circuit, and the clearing circuit in the event that the main power fails. Failure of the main power or a System Reset may also initiate memory clearing.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2010Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Eric T. Pancoast, James N. Curnew, Scott M. Sawyer
