Drawing creation method, wire harness manufacturing method, and drawing creation device
Provided are a drawing creation method, a wire harness manufacturing method, and a drawing creation device. A drawing showing a wire harness is created by the drawing creation method. The wire harness is configured with wires bundled together. The wire harness includes wire branch points and branch lines. The drawing is created based on information including following (1) to (3) and at least one of following (4) or (5): (1) a path of the wire harness in a movable body, (2) a distance between path branch points where the path branches, (3) a length from each path branch point to a corresponding connection target of the wire harness, (4) identification information of the connection target of the wire harness, (5) identification information of the connection target of each wire. The drawing reflects a distance between the wire branch points and a length of each branch line.
Hybrid cable assembly
A cable assembly is used to connect elements of a computing system. The cable assembly may include a first cable and a connector. The first cable includes an external portion having a first conductor, an electromagnetic (EMC) shielding jacket for the first conductor and a connector disposed at an end of the first conductor. Further, the first cable includes an internal portion comprising a second conductor and a connector disposed on an end of the second conductor. However, the internal portion lacks an EMC shielding jacket for the second conductor. The external portion of the first cable and the internal portion of the first cable form a continuous cable. The connector device comprises a shield area configured to electrically couple with a chassis of a node of a computer system and a retainer configured to physically couple the cable assembly with the chassis. The connector is configured to electrically couple the external portion of the first cable with the chassis, and wherein the external portion of the first cable meets the internal portion of the first cable at the connector device.

Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to a building automation controller and related method and storage medium including a processor configured, through at least execution of a distributed computer program, to: receive sensor data generated by a sensor, wherein the sensor data is indicative of a state of a defined space, identify an action to be performed by a device to affect the state in accordance with an operating characteristic for the defined space, determine that the device is attached to a second controller of a plurality of additional controllers, and transmit to the second controller, an indication that the action is to be performed by the device, wherein: the distributed computer program is configured to be distributed among the processor and the plurality of additional controllers and, the processor is further configured to apportion work to be performed by the computer program between at least the additional controllers.
Component manufacturing system and component manufacturing method
A component manufacturing system includes a main base, a first production base and a second production base. The main base designs a common wire harness and optional wire harnesses. The main base has a first order function of determining the number of common wire harnesses to be produced based on temporary order information and placing an order with the first production base, and a second order function of acquiring order confirmation information from the customer at a timing closer to a delivery date than the temporary order information and placing an order with the second production base for the completed wire harness based on the confirmation information.
Utility structure modeling and design
Systems and methods are described for modeling and analyzing utility structures according to applied loads. Particularly, a model engine can utilize inputs related to a utility structure, environmental conditions to which the utility structure is subjected, and engineering standards expected of the utility structure, and analyze the structure's loading and performance based on analysis configuration inputs. An engine or multiple engines can be run locally, or can be instantiated in a cloud to assist with multiple or complex calculations. Hybrid and geometric non-linear analyses and outputs can be performed or provided.
Method and apparatus for generalized control of devices
Tools and techniques are described to attach a device to a controller, whereby the controller analyzes the device inputs, looks up information about the device in a database, and then determines which inputs on the device match the defined device inputs. It then may translate information received from the device into an intermediate language. It may also use the information received from the device, the location of the device, and information about the device to create a digital twin of the device.
Control system having an adjacent electronic display for auto labeling and guided wiring
A controller is described with an adjacent electronic display which allows users to input building plans, and to design where devices (e.g., equipment and sensors) are to go. The controller has access to databases of the devices including wiring diagrams and protocols, such that the controller can automatically create a wiring diagram that can be used to wire the building and the controller. The adjacent display can be moved to show controller wiring, while the display shows a wiring diagram which describes a diagram of the controller wiring including devices that are connected, and wiring information about the devices.
Artificial intelligence based robot cable simulation
A system and a method simulate a motion of a cable of a real kinematic system, e.g. robot, containing one or several joints. The method includes the following steps: receiving a virtual representation of the real kinematic system; receiving a target task to be performed by the real kinematic system; perform the target task, and the simulation is configured for calculating a next joint value from a previous joint value. The method is characterized in that each simulation time interval results in a calculation of a next joint value from a previous joint value, and the next joint value is used as an input to a cable position artificial intelligence algorithm trained for outputting a cable position for the next joint value. The outputted cable position for the next joint value is stored.
