Direct slicing of CAD models to generate process planning instructions for solid freeform fabrication may overcome inherent disadvantages of using STL format in terms of the process accuracy, ease of file management, and incorporation of multiple materials. This paper will present the results of our development of a direct slicing algorithm for layered freeform fabrication. The direct slicing algorithm was based on a neutral, international standard (ISO 10303) STEP-formatted NURBS geometric representation and is intended to be independent of any commercial CAD software. The following aspects of the development effort will be presented: 1) Determination of optimal build direction based upon STEP-based NURBS models; 2) Adaptive subdivision of NURBS data for geometric refinement; and 3) Ray-casting slice generation into sets of raster patterns. Feasibility studies applying the direct slicing algorithm to example models and the generation of fabrication planning instructions involving multi-material structures will also be presented.

The invention provides an automatic server cluster detecting method and system. The method comprises steps as follows: IP addresses of all operating cluster servers are collected and saved; a first script is operated according to the collected IP addresses, and all the cluster servers are logged in without account passwords; a second script is operated, the resource use condition and the state information of all the operating cluster servers are detected, and a detecting result is filed and saved. The first script is used for logging in the cluster servers without passwords and is pre-written with an SSH (secure shell) remote login authentication method; the second script is used for detecting the operating cluster servers and is pre-written through SHELL. According to the method and the system, no server is required to be purchased alone for deployment, no third-party business software is adopted, automatic detection is used to replace manual operation, the workload of a system administrator is reduced, the working efficiency is improved, and the cost is lower.

Layering techniques are applied to business software integration, in order to provide an integration package that is usable “out of the box,” i.e., substantially upon installation thereof and after a brief configuration process.

Described is a method and system for producing and displaying a required analytical report based on user-determined rule-set, selectively including contextual information that is specifically linked to the analytical report. Certain report-attributes, e.g., role ID, subscriber ID, and report ID/what-if ID, which are characteristic of the required report, are inputted into a user's system/framework to obtain outputs specific to the required analytical report by narrowing down/filtering the selection from available contextual information to obtain specific contextual information used for selective display. The method includes specific steps to use filter/narrow-down choices, considering what-if and different possible scenarios. The method can be part of commercial software that is tailored to the user's requirements and sold as a package. The analytical report might include contextual metadata, associated analytics for a particular analysis scenario, event alerts and operational metadata as part of a contextual knowledge panel. The display may have an L shaped configuration.
