Inventor: PINKERTON JOSEPH F
IPC: B23Q3/154
Filed: 2005-06-17
Abstract: An automated fabrication system is provided that utilizes electromagnetism to manipulate and/or sense the location of raw materials (401) on a platform (419). Tools (421-423; 431, 432) located around said platform may be utilized to fabricate a predetermined structure out of the raw materials.

Additionally, the fabrication system may be mobilized by way of a truck such that structures may be built on-site.
Patent CA-2571204-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALMAN DAVID H
IPC: C09D7/80
Filed: 2005-08-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for predicting the non-color properties of a chemical mixture, such as an automotive paint, using an artificial neural network. The neural network includes an input layer having nodes for receiving input data related to the chemical components of the mixture and environmental and process conditions that can affect the properties of the mixture. An output layer having nodes generate output data which predict the properties of the chemical mixture as a result of variation of the input data. A hidden layer having nodes is connected to the nodes in the input and output layers. Weighted connections connect the nodes of the input, hidden and output layers and threshold weights are applied to the hidden and output layer nodes. The connection and threshold weights have values to calculate the relationship between input data and output data. The data to the input layer and the data to the output layer are interrelated through the neural network's nonlinear relationship. When implemented, accurate predictions of the final properties of the mixture can be obtained.  The invention is especially useful in relating automotive paint formulation variables (e.g., paint ingredient amounts and application process conditions) to physical properties (e.g., viscosity, sag), appearance (e.g., hiding, gloss, distinctness of image) or other measured properties enabling comparison of formula properties to target values or tolerances without expensive experimental work.

Abstract: A browser-based TCP/IP simulator may be used to create and send test messages to one or more TPFs to determine the response of the TPF system. It allows a user or plurality of users to create ISO 8583 messages, send the messages to the TPF systems, receive a response, and display the results to the users. The simulator may also have the ability to send MQseries messages to the TPF  and/or any other MQ-supported operating system. Messages created by the simulator are stored within an ANSI queryable SQL database to make test selection simple. The TPF test messages and results are thus available worldwide. Further, the simulator is server-based, so desktop licenses are not required. The simulator allows a user to either select a preformatted message or derive a new message by selecting the data of interest.
