Assignee:

Autodesk, Inc. - San Rafael CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/50
G06F 7/00

US Classification:

703 1, 715964, 707 3

Abstract:

A computer implemented system, method, and article of manufacture provide access to a drawing. A server computer has one or more server component applications. One or more drawing files are created by a first drawing application and stored on the server computer. A search server component application executes on the server computer and provides a query engine that allows queries of the one or more drawing files to locate data. A conversion server component application executes on the server computer and dynamically convert the drawing files into a drawing file format viewable by a client application executing on a client compute. The server component applications are further configured to provide the one or more drawing files that have been dynamically converted to the client computer.

Appl. No.:

11/125388

Inventors:

Benjamin D. Cochran - San Rafael CA, US
Brian P. Mathews - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

Autodesk, Inc. - San Rafael CA

International Classification:

G06F 15/00

US Classification:

358 113, 358 12, 358 115, 358 118, 345660, 345668

Abstract:

A computer-implemented graphics program that correctly adapts images being printed to the physical capabilities of a printer. A published virtual paper is scaled to a physical paper, taking into account the virtual paper's size, geometry bounds for an image from the virtual paper being printed, balanced geometry bounds calculated from the geometry bounds, the physical paper's size and a printable area of the physical paper, so that the image being printed fits within a printable area of the physical paper.

International Classification:

G06T 120

US Classification:

345506

Abstract:

The present invention discloses an apparatus, method, and article of manufacture for generating graphic images. In accordance with the present invention, an application program receives commands from a computer user via an input device and provides an output command stream to a plurality of renderer programs. The renderer programs selectively modify the output command stream and transmit the output command stream to a graphics peripheral device or to one or more of the other renderer programs.

International Classification:

G06T 7/00
G06T 1/20

Abstract:

A vision analytics and validation (VAV) system for providing an improved inspection of robotic assembly, the VAV system comprising a trained neural network three-way classifier, to classify each component as good, bad, or do not know, and an operator station configured to enable an operator to review an output of the trained neural network, and to determine whether a board including one or more “bad” or a “do not know” classified components passes review and is classified as good, or fails review and is classified as bad. In one embodiment, a retraining trigger to utilize the output of the operator station to train the trained neural network, based on the determination received from the operator station.
