Abstract: This invention teaches a quality assurance system for additive manufacturing. This invention teaches a multi-sensor, real-time quality system including sensors, affiliated hardware, and data processing algorithms that are Lagrangian-Eulerian with respect to the reference frames of its associated input measurements. The quality system for Additive Manufacturing is capable of measuring true in-process state variables associated with an additive manufacturing process, i.e. those in-process variables that define a feasible process space within which the process is deemed nominal. The in-process state variables can also be correlated to the part structure or microstructure and can then be useful in identifying particular locations within the part likely to include defects.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-executable instructions for reorganizing a physical layout of data of a database a database. A workload is selected from previously executed database operations. A total resource consumption of the previously executed database operations and of the workload is determined. The total resource consumption of the workload is more than a predetermined threshold of the total resource consumption of the previously executed database operations. Optimization operations for the database are determined using the workload. A cloned database of the database is created. The optimization operations are executed on the cloned database. A database operation is received for the database. The database operation is executed on the database and the cloned database. The performance of the cloned database is verified as being improved compared to the performance of the database based on the executing of the database operation on the database and the cloned database.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for leveraging query executions to improve index recommendations are described herein. In an example, a machine learning model is adapted to receive a first query plan and a second query plan for performing a query with a database, where the first query plan is different from the second query plan. The machine learning model may be further adapted to determine execution cost efficiency between the first query plan and the second query plan. The machine learning model is trained using relative execution cost comparisons between a set of pairs of query plans for the database. The machine learning model is further adapted to output a ranking of the first query plan and second query plan, where the first query plan and second query plan are ranked based on execution cost efficiency.

Abstract: An optical manufacturing process sensing and status indication system is taught that is able to utilize optical emissions from a manufacturing process to infer the state of the process. In one case, it is able to use these optical emissions to distinguish thermal phenomena on two timescales and to perform feature extraction and classification so that nominal process conditions may be uniquely distinguished from off-nominal process conditions at a given instant in time or over a sequential series of instants in time occurring over the duration of the manufacturing process. In other case, it is able to utilize these optical emissions to derive corresponding spectra and identify features within those spectra so that nominal process conditions may be uniquely distinguished from off-nominal process conditions at a given instant in time or over a sequential series of instants in time occurring over the duration of the manufacturing process.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to the monitoring and control of additive manufacturing. In particular, a method is shown for removing errors inherent in thermal measurement equipment so that the presence of errors in a product build operation can be identified and acted upon with greater precision. Instead of monitoring a grid of discrete locations on the build plane with a temperature sensor, the intensity, duration and in some cases position of each scan is recorded in order to characterize one or more build operations.

Abstract: A network device may detect an error associated with a packet based on error information being generated from processing the packet at a layer of a network stack. The network device may determine, based on detecting the error, metadata associated with the packet. The network device may generate telemetry data to include the metadata. The network device may provide the telemetry data to a network analyzer for policy enforcement.

Abstract: This invention teaches a multi-sensor quality inference system for additive manufacturing. This invention still further teaches a quality system that is capable of discerning and addressing three quality issues: i) process anomalies, or extreme unpredictable events uncorrelated to process inputs; ii) process variations, or difference between desired process parameters and actual operating conditions; and iii) material structure and properties, or the quality of the resultant material created by the Additive Manufacturing process. This invention further teaches experimental observations of the Additive Manufacturing process made only in a Lagrangian frame of reference. This invention even further teaches the use of the gathered sensor data to evaluate and control additive manufacturing operations in real time.
