Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems 

TL;DR: A system for the control from a distance of machines having displays incls hand gesture detection in which the hand gesture causes movement of an on-screen hand icon over anon-screen machine control icon, with the hand icon moving the machine control icons in accordance with sensed hand movements to effectuate machine control.

TL;DR: In this article, a new service-oriented networked manufacturing model called Cloud Manufacturing (CMfg) was proposed, and differences among CMfg, application service provider and manufacturing grid were discussed.

TL;DR: Methods and apparatuses for assemblying, handling, and fabrication are disclosed in which targets are used on objects in which the targets are removable from the object or covered by another object during an assemblying process.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and process for computer-controlled manufacture of three-dimensional objects is described, which involves dispensing a layer of a first material, such as a liquid, insoluble material onto a platform at predetermined locations corresponding to a cross-section of the object, which then hardens.

TL;DR: A computer-based engineering design system to design a part, a tool to make the part, and the process to making the part by accessing the plurality of feature templates in the memory to locate one or more primitive objects that perform the oneor more predetermined functions.
