  • Adaptive template system for an automated PCB manufacturing release package system
    Patent number: 8875072
    Abstract: An adaptive template system for an automated PCB manufacturing release package system includes a PCB database including PCB CAD data associated with a CAD file of PCB design. A shape engine is configured to read the PCB CAD data and display simultaneous views of a given PCB from the PCB database including different views of the PCB and configured to create reconfigurable objects displayed simultaneously in the form of different views of the PCB such that any change in the design of the PCB is reflected in the different views. One or more selectable adaptive templates, and an adaptive template object in the shape engine are configured to: read a selected adaptive template, generate a view of the adaptive template which provides for input of user-entered data, and retain the user-entered data in the adaptive template.
    Type: Grant

  • Automated PCB manufacturing documentation release package system and method
    Patent number: 7409666
    Abstract: An automated PCB manufacturing documentation release package system including a PCB database including PCB CAD data associated with a CAD file of a PCB design, and a shape engine configured to display simultaneous views of a given PCB from the PCB database including different views of the PCB and configured to retrieve the data in the PCB database and create reconfigurable objects displayable simultaneously in the forms of different views of the PCB such that any change in the design of the PCB is reflected in the different views.
