Abstract: The present application relates to an apparatus and method for three-dimensional printing. The apparatus comprises a gantry, a tilting print head and a rotary table. The tilting print head comprises an extruder, an elongated nozzle connected to the extruder and a filament tube connected to side-entrance of the extruder. The extruder is configured to rotate around the tilting axis. The filament tube is configured to feed the printing material into the extruder. The tilting print head is configured to control the printing material to enter the extruder through the filament tube, spiral through the extruder and enter the elongated nozzle. As the entrance is arranged on the side of the extruder and the filament tube is close to the tilting axis, the printing material can be more stable when the tilting print head rotates upward or downward.

Abstract: A data warehouse system comprising a warehouse database and a data warehouse manager communicatively coupled to the database. The warehouse manager is to store data to and retrieve data from the warehouse database and perform metadata reconciliation to update metadata of objects in the data warehouse to reflect a change in metadata of a first object in the warehouse by identifying a first set of objects impacted by the change to the metadata of the first object, identifying a second set of objects on which the first object depends, identifying at least one task that has to be completed to propagate the impact of the change in the metadata of the first object to objects in the first and second sets of objects, performing the task, and dynamically computing additional tasks based on whether or not definitions of objects in the first or second sets of objects changes based upon completion of the at least one task.

Abstract: A garment inspection system uses a digital measuring tape measure to measure and check dimensions of produced garments. The measured dimensions are transmitted to a computer via a wireless radio frequency connection between the digital tape measure and the computer. A software program is installed in the computer in a stand-alone or networked environment to read, store, analyze and manage the data and inspection results.

Abstract: An approach for reconciling a data warehouse includes automatically identifying, based upon a change made to a definition of an object, one or more other objects in the data warehouse that are affected by the change made to the definition of the object. The object and the other objects may be any type or form of data, for example, database tables or routines, and the invention is not limited to any particular type of object. Dependency analysis is used to evaluate dependency data to identify the one or more other objects affected by the change made to the definition of the object. The dependency data specifies dependencies between the object and the one or more other objects. The dependency data may also specify dependencies between the one or more other objects. As described in more detail hereinafter, the dependency data used may vary depending upon a particular function to be performed.

Abstract: A method for determining the dependencies between objects in a system is provided. Determining the dependencies between objects involves analyzing data about the objects and applying rules to the data about the objects. According to one embodiment, a first set of dependencies between a plurality of objects may be based on data in a set of sources and dependency rules, whereas a second set of dependencies between the plurality of objects may be based on data from a different set of sources but the same dependency rules. According to another embodiment, a first set of dependencies between a plurality of objects may be based on data in a set of sources and dependency rules, whereas a second set of dependencies between the plurality of objects is based on data from the same set of sources but different dependency rules.

Abstract: A micro-fluidic device has a micro-fluidic circuit layer and a charged-particle detection layer disposed proximate the micro-fluidic circuit layer.
