Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention disclosed herein provide techniques for generating a design autocomplete recommendation. The techniques include determining one or more first components included in a first design. The techniques further include analyzing, via the processor, a plurality of designs included in a database to select a second design that includes one or more second components that correspond to the one or more first components. The techniques further include selecting, via a processor, one or more third components included in the second design that are not included in the first design. The techniques further include causing an autocomplete recommendation that includes the one or more third components to be output.
Abstract:
A computing device for receiving a design problem statement describing a design problem in a controlled natural language (CNL) that defines permitted lexicons and syntax structures. The design problem statement is processed using the CNL lexicons and syntax structures to produce a job description executable by a design application for generating a design solution for the design problem statement. An improved CNL user interface that assists users to produce valid design problem statements that are CNL-compliant. The CNL user interface receives user-selectable terms that are compliant with the CNL lexicons and generates candidate problem statements that are compliant with CNL syntax structures and receives a selection of a candidate problem statement that is added to the design problem statement. A graphical user interface may display a graphical representation of a design problem statement that can be directly modified. A dialogue-based design process to explore possible design intentions and design solutions.
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for designing a four-bar linkage mechanism. The technique includes receiving an input coupler curve that defines motion within a plane with respect to a point that is to be included on the four-bar linkage mechanism; generating a set of sample points, wherein each point in the set of sample points corresponds to a different location on the input coupler curve; and implementing a global optimization solver to generate a first design for the four-bar linkage mechanism. The first design includes at least one value for each geometric variable included in a set of geometric variables associated with the four-bar linkage, where at least one of the geometric variables is based on one of the sample points. The first design generates an output coupler curve that approximates the input coupler curve.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention disclosed herein provide techniques for generating an alternative design recommendation. The techniques include determining, via a processor, a first function associated with one or more first components included in a first design. The techniques further include analyzing, via the processor, a plurality of components included in a database to select one or more second components associated with a second function that corresponds to the first function. The techniques further include causing an alternative design recommendation that includes the one or more second components to be output for display.
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for providing application command recommendations to a privacy-sensitive client device. The technique includes receiving a command log from each general client device included in a plurality of general client devices and analyzing the command logs to generate a command recommendation file. The command recommendation file may indicate a relationship between one or more application commands executed by at least one of the general client devices and one or more application commands that are available for execution by the privacy-sensitive client device. The technique further includes transmitting the command recommendation file to the privacy-sensitive client device.
