    Abstract: An electronic obsolescence registry holds network user-searchable obsolescence information. End users and component manufacturers can post obsolescence information using hashtags to it. The registry has different entries for different pieces of component obsolescence information. Each entry employs a respective component specific hashtag. End-users search the registry for component obsolescence information relating to a certain component by using one or more hashtags associated with the certain component.

    Abstract: One goal in automated product designing of additive manufacturing is to obtain designs having overhangs without support structures if the criterion for overhangs is rigorously geometrical. In an embodiment of the present invention, designers can request automated optimization and design, using simulation and sensitivity-based optimization, of structures having overhangs in the print direction that do not need any support structures. In an embodiment, a method includes, at a processor, calculating model design responses and model sensitivities of a computer-aided engineering (CAE) model in a CAE system based on design variables of the CAE model for various design responses being either applied in objective or constraints. The method further includes optimizing values of the design variables. The method further includes calculating physical design variables by employing a penalty function. Additionally, the calculations can also be in conjunction with employing material interpolation schemes. The method further includes generating an optimized CAE model using the calculated physical design variables. The optimized CAE model is free or partly free of support structures. The method further includes printing the optimized CAE model being free or partly free of support structures.

    Abstract: An embodiment provides a virtual reality experience by defining a model representing an object that includes experimental parameters. After defining the model, a model simulation is performed, using variations of the experimental parameters, that produces results for each of the one or more variations. The results include a value for a behavior of interest of the model for each of the variations. Next, the results are compressed to an interpolant comprising discrete polytope bins with continuous surrogates of the behavior of interest. Responsive to user provided values of the experimental parameters, a value of the behavior of interest is predicted using the interpolant. In turn, a virtual reality experience is provided by displaying to the user an effect on the model for the user-provided values of the one or more experimental parameters where the displayed effect on the model reflects the predicted value for the behavior of interest.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for touch input via a multi-touch surface includes displaying an input widget via the multi-touch surface, wherein the input widget includes at least one control field and at least one element bar. A finger contact is detected along the multi-touch surface and substantially within the control field or the element bar. In response to detecting the finger contact, the contents of the element bar are adjusted.

    Abstract: A method and corresponding system upgrades a live computer system. The method begins with migrating a copy of data from a first system to a communicatively coupled second system at a first time. Next, at one or more subsequent times, a copy of changed data is migrated from the first system to the second system until a threshold is reached. Finally, in response to reaching the threshold, a copy of the remaining changed data is migrated from the first system to the second system. A further embodiment of the method comprises: disabling access to the first system during the migration of data at the first time, enabling and maintaining access to the first system at the one or more subsequent times during the migration of the copy of changed data, and disabling access to the first system during the migration of the copy of the remaining changed data. In this manner, the system being upgraded is still highly available throughout the upgrade process.

    Abstract: Customized 3D-printing can provide users with customized products, but need to be verified for quality and durability. In an embodiment, a method for three-dimensional (3D)-printing a customized product includes loading a 3D-font from a database. The 3D font includes multiple character relations. Each character relation connects any two given characters of the 3D font. The method also includes generating a 3D-representation of a customized product based on the 3D-font. The customized product is based on a plurality of characters received from a user. A 3D-font as described herein can provide customized, on-demand, 3D-printed products of a particular threshold of quality and durability.
