Industrial automation multi-developer control code synchronization

An industrial integrated development environment (IDE) supports collaborative tools that allow multiple designers and programmers to remotely submit design input to the same automation system project in parallel while maintaining project consistency. The industrial IDE also permits localized development of system projects, and provides an infrastructure for intelligently brokering between conflicting edits submitted to common portions of the system project.

Methods and systems for producing ophthalmic lenses background

This disclosure includes methods and systems for producing ophthalmic lenses. Some methods include identifying a plurality of zones within a spatial representation of a lens blank, selecting, for each of the zones, one or more parameters for producing the lens, and producing the lens by removing material from the lens blank according to the one or more parameters of each of the zones.

FOOD PREPARATION APPARATUS AND METHODS

Food preparation apparatus and associated methods. In one method, dough is proofed in an oven compartment and then baked in the same oven compartment. Temperature and/or humidity can be controlled during proofing and/or baking cycles. A blower may be used, for example, to exhaust gas to ambient to reduce heat and/or moisture in the compartment. For example, the blower may be used between proofing and baking cycles to prepare an environment in the oven compartment for the baking cycle.
