    摘要: In examples, a method of bonding portions of fabric to one another includes dispensing a plurality of liquified adhesive spots onto a first fabric portion so that the plurality of liquified adhesive spots are spaced apart from one another and applying a second fabric portion to the adhesive spots to adhere the second fabric portion to the first fabric portion. In examples, the spacing defines a plurality of unbonded gaps between the adhesive spots. In examples, the adhesive spots are dispensed along a length so that the adhesive spots are spaced along a dispensed line requiring at least 30% less adhesive as compared to a solid line having the same length. In examples, a fabric article includes a first fabric portion having adhesive spots spaced apart from one another and a second fabric portion adhered to the first fabric portion by the adhesive spots.

    摘要: Systems and methods for adaptive preventative maintenance are disclosed. In a method to determine a maintenance interval estimate for equipment, a first maintenance interval estimate associated with the equipment is provided. The first maintenance interval estimate is expressed according to a usage metric associated with the equipment. An indication that the equipment has been replaced may be received. An elapsed usage of the equipment in a time period may be determined. The time period may span from a reference time point associated with the first maintenance interval estimate to a later replacement time point associated with the replacement of the equipment. A second maintenance interval estimate may be determined based on the elapsed usage of the equipment. The second maintenance interval estimate may be expressed according to the usage metric associated with the equipment.
