CONTROL PROGRAM GENERATION APPARATUS, CONTROL PROGRAM GENERATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM
A control program is automatically created using an action chart that is easy to create for an automated manufacturing machine with a complex operation. A subchart is pre-created for a set of consecutive subperiods of multiple subperiods included in an action chart. The action chart includes a subchart representation in a subperiod for identifying the subchart to represent the set of consecutive subperiods corresponding to the subchart. The action chart and the subchart are read together. Program elements for element actions in the subperiods on the action chart are combined together. For the subperiod with the subchart representation on the action chart, program elements for element actions assigned to the consecutive subperiods on the subchart are combined together in an order of the consecutive subperiods on the subchart. The control program is thus generated.
SERVERS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR MODELING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF AN INDUSTRIAL PROCESS
In some embodiments, the disclosure is directed to a system that predicts the carbon footprint of an industrial process. In some embodiments, the system is configured to monitor the amount of energy used in one or more process steps in an industrial process. In some embodiments, the system is configured to determine a carbon intensity for each of the one or more process steps. In some embodiments, the system is configured to generate a report including the carbon intensity. In some embodiments, the system is configured to determine the effect different raw material have on each of the one or more processing steps. In some embodiments, the system is configured to generate an optimum blend of raw materials that reduces the carbon intensity of one or more steps. In some embodiments, the system is configured to generate a blend of source fuels that reduces the industrial facilities overall carbon footprint.

Matching Natural Gas Production with Contractual Quantities using Normalized Models
An exemplary method provides matching natural gas subsurface production to contractual quantities or demand. A demand for hydrocarbons and an unconstrained supply from multiple reservoirs according to one or more unconstrained subsurface supply parameters are determined. A constrained supply is calculated according to parameterized constraints associated with wells, facilities, and processing systems of the unconstrained subsurface supply parameters according to a selected model option. Hydrocarbons quantities in the constrained supply are matched with the demand for hydrocarbons.

METHOD FOR VALIDATING A PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
An information handling system includes a processor and a memory. The processor receives a set of validation items to be validated for each of a plurality of platforms of a portfolio of platforms. The processor further determines that a first set of validation items for a first platform includes a first validation item and that a second set of validation items for a second platform includes a second validation item. The processor compares the first validation item with the second validation item to determine if the first and second validation items are duplicate validation items. When the first and second validations are duplicate validation items, the processor maintains the first set of validation items to include the first validation item, and modifies the second set of validation items to exclude the second validation item.

MODELING DEVICES USED IN GUIDED BONE AND TISSUE REGENERATION
This disclosure describes manufacturing of a device configured to guide bone and tissue regeneration for a bone defect. A method may include receiving a three-dimensional digital model or scan representing an anatomical feature to be repaired, generating a simulated membrane using the three-dimensional model, the simulated membrane being configured to cover the anatomical feature to be repaired, generating a digital two-dimensional flattened version of the simulated membrane, and generating code or instructions configured to cause a three-dimensional printer or milling device to produce a trimming guide that includes an opening corresponding to the flattened version of the simulated membrane and that further includes a cut-out configured to hold a premanufactured membrane. The trimming guide may be operative as a guide for marking or cutting the premanufactured membrane through the opening while the premanufactured membrane is held in the cut-out.

Systems for a digital showroom with virtual reality and augmented reality
A system allows a user to select designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. The previews provide photorealistic visualizations in two or three dimensions, and can be presented on a computer display, projected on a screen, or presented in virtual reality (e.g., via headset), or augmented reality. The system can also include a projection system that projects the new designs onto garments on mannequins in a showroom. The garments and the new designs projected onto the garments have a three-dimensional appearance as if the garments having the new designs are worn by people. Software and lasers are used in finishing the garments to produce garments with the new designs and the finished garments have an appearance of the three-dimensional appearance of the garments and new designs on the mannequins with the new designs projected onto the garments by the projection system.
