International Classification:

G06F 15/00

US Classification:

702182, 716 18, 716 1, 716 4, 714 15, 714 38, 324763, 324765, 438 18, 703 13, 703 14, 703 19

Abstract:

A method for detecting and reporting changes in functional features of a simulation model caused by a software revision is disclosed. In one aspect, the method is independent of simulation model architecture. One performs regression testing with a plurality of feature-specific modules. The feature-specific modules are configured to generate a first set of information with the simulation model and compare the first set of information to a second set of corresponding information from the simulation model. In the above-described testing, the first set of information postdates the software revision and the second set of information predates the software revision.

International Classification:

G21K001/12

US Classification:

Abstract:

A image-based system for inspecting objects utilizes an imaging chain that defines a focal plane, a manipulator for translating and rotating either the object under inspection or the imaging chain, a surface mapping system that generates a representation of the surface of the object under inspection, and a controller that uses the representation of the surface of the object to control the manipulator so that a portion of the object under inspection lies within the focal plane of the imaging chain.
