Abstract:
A network device adapted to communicate with other devices over a network, the device being arranged to, when the device is connected to a physical data carrier, automatically store a representation of a security key on the data carrier, and to provide at least one service over the network only to other devices making use of the security key.
Abstract:
A dual beam concentric polar axis scanning machine for allowing flat parts to be easily scanned and measured. Flat shaped parts are placed on a glass datum type part support surface. The dual beam laser type scanners are positioned on a motion stage beneath the part support surface and move in the x and y planes parallel to the part support surface. Detectors above the surface receive the beams and move in unison with the scanners. Initially, the beams trace the external outline of the part and measure all grooves, side indentations and the like. Next, the beams pass over the surface of the part locating and mapping the locations of any openings therethrough. Finally, the beams trace perimeter edges of each of the openings for their measurements. The dual beams include an outer rotating beam also referred to as a forward looking beam, and an inner rotating beam where the forward looking beam restricts the inner a beam to continuously and consistently measure the exterior side edges of the part, the opening locations in the part, and the side edges of the openings of the part.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for determining and calibrating a K-factor for material and to methods and systems for calibrating forming devices, forming device controls, and/or forming device components. The disclosed systems and methods can dynamically provide exact and calibrated values for the parameters needed to produce correct and accurate flat patterns based on any type of material or any tooling combination. As such, the systems and methods of the present disclosure can be used to achieve a first run perfect or near-perfect part capability that does not currently exist.
Abstract:
A data processing device for detecting and correcting data errors of a re-writable memory via an error correction algorithm. In one embodiment, the data processing device includes a coding unit implemented in hardware and an error correction unit implemented in software. In one embodiment, the coding unit is capable receiving a first set of data to be written to the memory and processing that data in accordance with an error correction algorithm to form a second set of data. The second set of data may be output to memory. In one embodiment, the coding unit receives data from the memory and processes that data in accordance with the error correction algorithm to determine whether the data contains an error. In one embodiment, the error correction unit receives data that contains an error and produces corrected data via an error correction algorithm. The corrected data may be output to the memory.
