  • Patent number: 12288013
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a parameter domain graph application generates UV-net representations of 3D CAD objects for machine learning models. In operation, the parameter domain graph application generates a graph based on a B-rep of a 3D CAD object. The parameter domain graph application discretizes a parameter domain of a parametric surface associated with the B-rep into a 2D grid. The parameter domain graph application computes at least one feature at a grid point included in the 2D grid based on the parametric surface to generate a 2D UV-grid. Based on the graph and the 2D UV-grid, the parameter domain graph application generates a UV-net representation of the 3D CAD object. Advantageously, generating UV-net representations of 3D CAD objects that are represented using B-reps enables the 3D CAD objects to be processed efficiently using neural networks.

  • Publication number: 20250026301
    Abstract: An inflation device that draws air in from two sources, such as air compressor and ambient air, can inflate an object (e.g., air bag). When a valve is opened, airflow from the air compressor is provided from the inflation device to the object. The airflow may cause airflow from an additional source (e.g., ambient air) into the inflation device. Additionally, a button used to control the valve is also used to initiate power to an assembly that includes pressure sensor (used to measure pressure of the airflow) and a display (used to present the current pressure as measured by the pressure sensor). The inflation device can automatically power down at a predetermined time after the button is released.
