Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the "Waterjet cutting tool interface apparatus and method." This invention provides an improved cutting device control system that analyzes designs, blueprints, and other drawings. It creates low-level computer instructions to fully automate the cutting process. The program utilizes several algorithms, constraints, and program features to eliminate the need for an operator to input cutting, moving, or operating instructions. The apparatus includes a microprocessor and associated memory to store various programming steps and data tables, implementing the algorithms and programmed constraints. Additionally, it features communication devices for transmitting generated codes to the electronic controller of the cutting device.
Another significant patent is the "Rule based parametric design apparatus and method." This invention utilizes predetermined designs, including draw primitives and other objects. The designs for the draw primitives are created by artists who refine them into a set of rules residing in a computer program. This allows the original design to be automatically adapted to differently shaped and sized windows while maintaining the unity of the overall artwork. A computer with associated memory implements the algorithms and program constraints related to this invention.
