Abstract:
A method, a system, and a program product for reconstructing surface geometry from discrete points on an object are disclosed. The method comprises steps of; providing input data derived from said discrete points; generating a graph from said input data, said graph including biconnected graphs; subjecting said graph to triconnected component decomposition to generate a component graph; generating all possible embeddings including possible face loops from said surface geometry; filling said possible face loops with possible surface to reconstruct said surface geometry; examining geometrical acceptance of said surfaces and omitting embeddings, including at least one geometrically unacceptable surface from computation thereafter and scoring said embeddings depending on said examination; and sorting said embeddings with respect to said scores to select embeddings for reconstructing said surface geometry.
Abstract:
If heat is deprived from the upper surface of a fixing roller, fixability of a fixing roller is lowered and may cause fixing failure. Furthermore, output recording material vary in glossiness, or there appears unevenness on the recording materials. A fixing apparatus, which is capable of suppressing reduction of a temperature of the surface of a fixing rotary body on the recording materials, is provided for reducing fixability of a fixing roller or fixing failure.
Abstract:
A method is provided for generating a quadrilateral mesh and a hexahedral mesh. First, a geometric model, which is an object of meshing, is input. The model is either two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Multiple bubbles of a plurality of types are generated in a region of the geometric model. The bubbles are moved according to an interbubble force defined by a predetermined rule, and the bubble count is controlled to adjust a neighboring relationship between the bubbles, so that the stable allocation of the bubbles are determined. By connecting the centers of bubbles of a specific type, a mesh is generated.
Abstract:
A method for automatically generating a mesh (e.g., a quadrilateral mesh, a hexahedral mesh, and the like) includes inputting a geometric model to be meshed, generating a plurality of bubbles within a region of the geometric model, determining a stable allocation of the bubbles by moving the bubbles using a force defined by a potential field provided for the bubbles and controlling a number of the bubbles, and generating the mesh by connecting centers of adjacent bubbles.
Abstract:
A rotary actuator in which, in order to realize cost reductions, the configuration of an extruded material used to form a cylinder body is modified to reduce the weight of the material, and the number of components or the number of manhours needed for machining is reduced by changing the method of installing a solenoid-operated switching valve, speed controllers and an open valve for short circuiting. The cylinder body (11) is produced from an extruded material (1) formed by extrusion. A section of the extruded material (1) that is perpendicular to the direction of extrusion of the extruded material (1) is circular at the inner periphery thereof and has upwardly, downwardly, leftwardly and rightwardly projecting thick-walled portions (12 to 15) at the outer periphery thereof. The outer peripheral portions of the section, exclusive of the projecting thick-walled portions (12 to 15), are generally formed from circular arcs.
Abstract:
A quadrilateral or a hexahedron is used for a virtual object. If, for example, a quadrilateral mesh is composed of perfect squares and a voronoi diagram is dual to them, it is considered that the voronoi diagram comprises the perfect squares whose centers are connected to be a quadrilateral mesh. Accordingly, the quadrilateral mesh is generated by filling the object to be meshed with quadrilateral virtual objects corresponding to the voronoi diagram and connecting their centers.
Abstract:
A vehicle includes a power receiving unit and an RFID tag. The power receiving unit contactlessly receives electric power output from a power transmission unit. The RFID tag preliminarily stores information which is identification information for identifying the vehicle in the power transmission device and can be contactlessly read by the power transmission device. Here, the RFID tag is arranged at a vehicle body front end (a vehicle body trailing end) in a vehicle traveling direction when the vehicle is guided into a parking frame.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electron multiplier and others to effectively suppress luminescence noise, even in compact size, in which each of multistage dynodes has a plurality of columns each having a peripheral surface separated physically, and in which each column is processed in such a shape that an area or a peripheral length of a section parallel to an installation surface on which the electron multiplier is arranged becomes minimum at a certain position on the peripheral surface in the column of interest.
