  • Patent number: 11928400
    Abstract: A model-based engineering system (MBSE) tool includes functionality for sharing an MBSE model with multiple outside vendors using multiple versions of the MBSE model. A restricted version of the MBSE model is managed by a model maker (or other user with access rights) inside of an organization includes all of the model's engineering elements. The engineering elements are tagged with metadata that is analyzed to determine which elements are shareable and which are unshareable outside of the organization. An unrestricted version of the MBSE model is then created, either directly from the restricted version or through an intermediary version (referred to as the “stripped version”), to include only shareable engineering elements. This unrestricted version may then be shared with the outside vendors, and changes made by either in the restricted or unrestricted versions may be incorporated in the other versions, providing a truly collaborative MBSE experience.

  • Patent number: 11928407
    Abstract: A three-dimensional object model is divided into slices that are targeted for an additive manufacturing process operable to deposit material at a variable deposition size ranging between minimum and maximum printable feature sizes. For each of the slices, a thinning algorithm is applied to contours of the slice to form a meso-skeleton. Topological features of the thinned slice are reduced over a number of passes such that a portion of the meso-skeleton is reduced to a single pixel wide line. Based on the number of passes, a slice-specific printable feature size within the range of the minimum and maximum printable feature sizes is determined. An adjusted slice is formed by sweeping the meso-skeleton with the slice-specific printable feature size. The adjusted slices are assembled into an object model which is used to create a manufactured object.

  • Patent number: 11928437
    Abstract: Techniques for identifying one or more missing fragments within input text are disclosed. A discourse tree (DT) is generated for the input text (IT) received, the IT having any suitable number of sentence fragments. An indication that the IT is likely missing one or more sentence fragments may be identified based on determining that one or more rhetorical relationships of the DT matches one of a set of predefined rhetorical relationships. A query is generated one or more sentence fragments of the IT and executed against a knowledge base to obtain a set of search results. A most-relevance search result can be utilized to identify a set of candidate sentence fragments. A subset of those candidate sentence fragments can be identified based on comparing them to the sentence fragments provided in the IT, each candidate sentence fragment of the subset being implied but excluded from the IT.

  • Patent number: 11928444
    Abstract: A technique is described herein for assisting a user in editing a file. The technique involves producing current context information that includes an input message and selected file content. The input message describes a user's editing objective, while the selected file content describes a portion of the file to which the editing objective is to be applied. The technique then requests a pattern-completion engine to generate edit information based on the current context information. The edit information describes one or more changes to the selected file content that satisfy the objective of the user. The pattern-completion engine uses a machine-trained autoregressive text-completion model that is trained on revision history information. The model can be trained in a process that incorporates various tests to ensure that the edit information that is generated works as expected, satisfies various performance metrics, and fulfills the editing objectives of the user.

  • Patent number: 11928445
    Abstract: A complier produces a configuration file to configure a fracturable data path of a configurable unit in a coarse-grained reconfigurable processor to concurrently generate different address sequences generated using different address associated with different operations. The fracturable data path includes multiple computation stages respectively including a pipeline register. The compiler analyzes a first address calculation and a second address calculation and assigns a first set of stages to the first operation to generate the first address sequence and a second set of stages to the second operation to generate the second address sequence using the second set of stages, based on the analysis. A configuration file for the configurable unit is generated by the compiler that assigns the first set of stages to the first operation and the second set of stages to the second operation and includes two or more immediate values for each computation stage.
