NGRAIN-TM- Software Brings Advanced 3D Capabilities to Product Knowledge Management.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers VANCOUVER, BC--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 2003 Enhancements to NGRAIN Knowledge Module and Mobilizer deliver improvements in the way companies capture, manage and communicate product knowledge for training, maintenance and service applications Responding to a growing need for more effective ways to support product knowledge management within organizations, NGRAIN(TM) Corporation, a leading interactive 3D visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all and simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. developer, today announced significant advances in its innovative products, Knowledge Module 2.1 and Mobilizer 2.1. NGRAIN revolutionizes the way organizations maintain and communicate complex product and equipment knowledge.

Designed to function more like a portable writing tablet than previous tablet-based computers, it includes handwriting recognition as well as the ability to retain handwritten words . NGRAIN Knowledge Objects provide a powerful visual index to reference materials and knowledge, through an on-demand virtual product experience available to anyone, anywhere. "NGRAIN has extended its knowledge-capture capabilities and - for the first time - allows users to integrate NGRAIN 3D graphics content directly into familiar applications like Microsoft(R) Word and PowerPoint(R). With these capabilities, users can easily access and understand product knowledge, wherever and whenever they need it - in the classroom, on the factory floor or out in the field," said Gabe Batstone, General Manager, NGRAIN Product Knowledge Management.

NGRAIN's capabilities extend the return on investment of an organization's existing 3D assets, such as CAD drawings, and enable the reuse reuse - Using code developed for one application program in another application. Traditionally achieved using program libraries. Object-oriented programming offers reusability of code via its techniques of inheritance and genericity. of this data across multiple application areas, within the organization and beyond. "We're constantly seeking ways to improve support to our e-Learning customers," stated Dane Mullenix, Senior Scientist, Alion Science and Technology Alion Science and Technology (pronounced: ah-LYE-un) is an employee-owned technology solutions company delivering technical expertise and operational support to the Department of Defense, civilian government agencies and commercial customers. . "NGRAIN helps us achieve that goal, with the added benefit of potential cost savings that result from the inherent reusability The ability to use all or the greater part of the same programming code or system design in another application. reusability - reuse of NGRAIN-derived content across sales, tech support and training applications." Knowledge Module 2.1 allows employees with no 3D background or programming experience to add links, logic and animation to 3D models in minutes. This powerful tool allows users to easily transform 3D models into interactive Knowledge Objects by enabling the capture of complex product information and expert product knowledge. Mobilizer 2.1 brings interactive 3D to standard computer systems, without the need for graphics acceleration hardware. Users are able to access and manipulate Knowledge Objects as an interactive, visual index to complex product knowledge. This capability dramatically improves the way users locate critical information and - due to its interactive nature - increases retention and comprehension comprehension Act of or capacity for grasping with the intellect. The term is most often used in connection with tests of reading skills and language abilities, though other abilities (e.g., mathematical reasoning) may also be examined. .
