Moreover, a solid-solid collision model is coupled to calculate the collision and debris bed deformation during the falling process of the debris particles. In this way, the momentum exchange, energy transfer and phase transition between different phases are taken into account, and the computational instability caused by the large physical difference between phases is mitigated.

  • Patent number: 12052337
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for syntonizing machines in a network. A coordinator accesses probe records for probes transmitted at different times between pairs of machines in the mesh network. For different pairs of machines, the coordinator estimates the drift between the pair of machines based on the transit times of probes transmitted between the pair of machines as indicated by the probe records. For different loops of at least three machines in the mesh network, the coordinator calculates a loop drift error based on a sum of the estimated drifts between pairs of machines around the loop and adjusts the estimated absolute drifts of the machines based on the loop drift errors. Here, the absolute drift is defined relative to a drift of a reference machine.

  • Patent number: 12045834
    Abstract: Some embodiments comprise integrating information from a social network into a multi-tenant database system. A plurality of information from the social network is retrieved, using a processor and a network interface of a server computer in the multi-tenant database system, wherein the plurality of information is associated with a message transmitted using the social network. Metadata related to the transmitted message is generated, using the processor. A conversation object is generated, using the processor, based on the plurality of information associated with the transmitted message and the metadata related to the transmitted message. The conversation object is then stored in an entity in the multi-tenant database system, using the processor of the server computer.

  • Patent number: 12034844
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for performing compound operations on a security module. In some embodiments, a hardware security module (HSM) comprises executable code that, as a result of execution by one or more processors of the HSM, causes the HSM to obtain a request to perform a compound operation, parse the compound operation to determine a sequence of operations, perform the sequence of operations within a protected execution environment, wherein one or more intermediate results of the sequence of operations are programmatically unexportable from the protected execution environment, determine, based on complete execution of the sequence of operations, an output, and export the final output from the protected execution environment, thereby making it available to external devices.

  • Patent number: 12031803
    Abstract: An arena test system for characterizing fragments from a warhead. An entry panel and an exit panel are arranged in a wedge configuration with a wedge-shaped air space between them. Fragments are imaged as they pass through this wedge. A soft catch box is located behind the exit panel such that fragments that pass through the exit panel enter the soft catch box and are decelerated within the soft catch box.

  • Patent number: 12025975
    Abstract: Methods and systems (100) for modeling operations of a physical plant (110) are presented. For instance, a system (100) includes at least a first component (111) and a second component (112). The first and second components (111), (112) have at least one physical connection (130a). First and second model operational parameters of the physical connection are received from first and second models 121, 122, respectively. The first and second models (121), (122) are updated with the second and first model operational parameters, respectively. In one example, the first and second models (121), (122) run on different computer systems. In another example, real-time operational data is received from the first and second components (111), (112), and the first and second models (121), (122) are updated with the real-time operational data received from the second and first components, respectively. In a further example, the system (100) may receive and process simulation input.

  • Patent number: 12007502
    Abstract: Embodiments of a system for simulating a radio frequency (RF) scene associated with a moving maritime surface are generally described herein. An RF scene is generated using an RF scene generation model and a moving maritime surface is generated using a maritime surface model. The RF scene is integrated with the moving maritime surface model. The RF scene generation model is configured to apply a radar model to generate and update the RF scene based on simulated radar returns at a radar pulse repetition frequency (PRF) and the maritime surface model is configured to update the moving maritime surface at a maritime surface update rate, access previous and current maritime surfaces, and interpolate surface facet properties to pulse times of the radar model. The maritime surface model is configured to update the moving maritime surface once every subdwell.

  • Patent number: 12001765
    Abstract: The present document describes techniques associated with a textile-material model for vibroacoustic structural simulation. The techniques described herein provide a nontrivial methodology to test a textile and simplify its representation, which can enable prediction of acoustic performance (e.g., rub and buzz) of an electronic-speaker device having a textile mounted thereon. The textile is modeled as a textile-material model based on an elongation stiffness obtained from a time-temperature superposition curve of the textile, which is based on a dynamic mechanical analysis test of the textile in each of course and wale directions. The textile-material model is then applied to an assembly model of the electronic-speaker device to simulate a vibroacoustic response of the textile relative to the assembly model to predict a likelihood of rub and buzz.
