摘要： A method for carrying out a cyclical manufacturing process produces parts within a predefined quality tolerance. After at least one process adjustment variable is changed, a quality feature of the parts produced with a changed process adjustment variable is checked against the range of the quality tolerance of the produced parts. A process characteristic variable zone is formed in an automated manner using at least one determined process characteristic variable variant that is process-stable and for which the process adjustment variable produces acceptable parts.

摘要： An encoder includes a base portion, a scale portion that is provided to be relatively rotatable with respect to the base portion, and has a plurality of marks, an imaging element that is disposed in the base portion, and images the marks, and an estimation portion that performs template matching on a captured image in the imaging element by using a reference image, in which the plurality of marks include a first mark and a second mark, and the estimation portion counts the number of pixels of the imaging element corresponding to a rotation angle of the scale portion with respect to the base portion until a position of the second mark is detected from detection of a position of the first mark, and performs calibration on the basis of the counted number of pixels and the rotation angle.

摘要： A method for performing quality control on a diagnostic analyzer includes receiving control measurement values from each of a plurality of diagnostic analyzers. A quality control measurement value is received from a target diagnostic analyzer. The quality control measurement value is compared with statistical criteria associated with the plurality of quality control measurement values received from the plurality of diagnostic analyzers. A comparison result is communicated to a user interface associated with the target diagnostic analyzer.

摘要： Provided is a numerical control system of a machine tool that can shorten a cycle time. A command unit of a numerical control system of a machine tool includes: an interpolation block waveform drawing unit that performs a simulation of an NC program, calculates an interpolation pulse of a relationship between speed and time indicating an operation of the respective axes from a command value of an axis address of the respective axes, and sequentially outputs an interpolation command of the respective axes for each block to draw a waveform of the relationship between speed and time in a case of operating the machine tool; a different axis block specifying unit that compares two blocks adjacent in time series which are drawn by the interpolation block waveform drawing unit, and specifies the two adjacent blocks calculated from command values of different axis addresses; and an interpolation overlap block waveform creating unit that obtains an overlappable amount of the two adjacent blocks specified by the different axis block specifying unit, and overlaps the two adjacent blocks on a basis of the overlappable amount to create a waveform of the relationship between speed and time in a case of operating the machine tool.

摘要： Techniques for controlling a robotic picking arm using estimated seal quality metrics. A plurality of candidate contact points for holding an item using a suction device of the robotic picking arm, based on captured images of the item and an n-dimensional surface model of the item. An expected seal quality metric for a first one of the candidate contact points, by processing the n-dimensional surface model of the item and physical properties of the suction device of the robotic picking arm. Based on the expected seal quality metric, embodiments can determine whether to retrieve the item from the storage container by holding the item at the first candidate contact point using the suction device of the robotic picking arm.

摘要： A systematic approach to constructing process plans for hybrid manufacturing is provided. The process plans include arbitrary combinations of AM and SM processes. Unlike the suboptimal conventional practice, the sequence of AM and SM modalities is not fixed beforehand. Rather, all potentially viable process plans to fabricate a desired target part from arbitrary alternating sequences of pre-defined AM and SM modalities are explored in a systematic fashion. Once the state space of all process plans has been enumerated in terms of a partially ordered set of states, advanced artificial intelligence (AI) planning techniques are utilized to rapidly explore the state space, eliminate invalid process plans, for instance, process plans that make no physical sense, and optimize among the valid process plans using a cost function, for instance, manufacturing time and material or process costs.

摘要： A method for minimizing tracking errors in dynamic systems including obtaining desired trajectory data of the dynamic system, obtaining a set of constraints on at least one of the desired and actual trajectories of the dynamic system, obtaining a set of uniform or non-uniform rational B-splines having known original B-spline basis functions but unknown B-spline coefficients, applying a trajectory optimization process to the desired trajectory data including applying forward filtering to B-spline basis functions and utilizing the original and filtered B-spline basis functions to select optimal coefficients of the B-splines, and outputting an optimal motion command signal in response to the trajectory optimization process to the dynamic system such that a resultant actual trajectory is substantially equal to the desired trajectory while satisfying the set of constraints on the at least one of the desired and actual trajectories.

摘要： A layered industrial analytics architecture enables the flow of information from intelligent assets into tools and engines that perform analytics and enable decision-making in substantially real-time. The analytics architecture comprises analytic nodes that are distributed across multiple layers of an industrial enterprise, and includes system features that optimize movement of data across this layered architecture. Each analytic node includes base architectural constructs that host various analytic, data acquisition, and storage elements. These base constructs can operate autonomously, or in conjunction with other instances of base constructs or other elements of the control system. The system design uses a multi-platform compatible implementation that allows the base elements to be deployed on various different computing platforms.
