  • Patent number: 11426871
    Abstract: A system can be configured to generate and analyze one or more candidate logistics maps based on a set of input parameters and a baseline map of a logistics facility. The system can identify modifications strategies, resource limits, regions of interest, mapping constraints through analysis of the input parameters and the baseline map. The generated candidate maps and the baseline map can be implemented in virtual environments that are configured to replicate one or more operations associated with the baseline map, such as item distribution, item retrieval, and reorganization operations. The virtual environment can further simulate the resource limits associated with the baseline map and compare performance indicators from simulation of the baseline map to performance indicators from simulation of the candidate maps to identify viable improvements over existing logistics solutions.

  • Patent number: 10915302
    Abstract: A system determines what aspects of input sources contribute to code generation and provides associations between the input sources and components of features of the generated code. These associations may be visualized by displaying visual cues of the associations. The input sources may be of different types, including but not limited to a model, a code generator and values for atomic configuration setting for code generation. The visual cue that is displayed may take the form of a visible connection between the input sources and the relative portion or portions of the generated programming code. Suggestions may be generated in response to edits to the generated programming code as to how the sources may be modified to provide desired changes in the generated programming code. Analysis may be performed to identify artifacts in the generated programming code and associations to the sources may be identified to specify what source contributed to portions of the generated programming code.

  • Patent number: 8968929
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed at an electrode and methods for forming such electrode for a battery wherein the electrode comprises silicon clathrate. The silicon clathrate may include silicon clathrate Si46 containing an arrangement of 20-atom and 24-atom cages fused together through 5 atom pentagonal rings and/or silicon clathrate Si34 containing an arrangement of 20-atom and 28-atom cages fused together through 5 atom pentagonal rings. The silicon clathrate may be present as particles having a largest linear dimension in the range of 0.1 ?m to 100.0 ?m.

  • Patent number: 8230797
    Abstract: The present invention relates to corrosion resistance coatings suitable for elevated temperature applications, which employ compositions of iron (Fe), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni) and/or aluminum (Al). The compositions may be configured to regulate the diffusion of metals between a coating and a substrate, which may then influence coating performance, via the formation of an inter-diffusion barrier layer. The inter-diffusion barrier layer may comprise a face-centered cubic phase.
