A method for generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of a monolithic part includes performing a plurality of generative actions using a plurality of thought tokens to generate a primary model based on a prompt received at the geometric modelling agent. The primary model is converted to executable code to generate a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) model associated with the primary model. Parametric equations are generated to represent the 3D CAD model based on the executable code. An evaluation metric associated with the 3D CAD model rendered based on the parametric equations is calculated, and the 3D parametric model is generated based on determining that the evaluation metric of the 3D CAD model exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abrégé

The present disclosure relates to a circuit breaker with a lockout tab, and a method of operation thereof. The circuit breaker comprises a housing with a handle and a lockout tab positioned partially therein. The handle is movable between a disengaged position and an engaged position. The lockout tab is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The lockout tab is positioned such that the handle contacts the lockout tab while moving between the disengaged position and the engaged position. A locking member may be installed through the lockout tab while in the extended position. If the locking member is installed, the movement of the handle to the engaged position is impeded. Removal of the lockout device allows the handle to be moved to the engaged position, which results in the movement of the lockout tab to the retracted position.

The disclosure relates to a method for operating a linear motor system, in particular a long-stator or planar motor system, comprising a stator with numerous drive coils and at least one shuttle carrying drive magnets and moving relative to the stator. An electromagnetic field is generated by energizing selected drive coils to interact with the drive magnets and move the shuttle. To improve efficiency and motion control, a motion control unit determines at least one drive variable from a predefined movement profile and/or target movement values and from actual movement values for a given time step. Based on the drive variable, the motion control unit selects the drive coils to be energized and determines their energization to move the shuttle in a desired motion. An artificial intelligence method is used at least for determining which drive coils are energized and how they are energized, using the drive variable input.
