摘要:
Embodiments of the invention provide a renderer-agnostic method for representing materials independently from an underlying rendering engine. Advantageously, materials libraries may be extended with new materials for rendering with an existing rendering engine and implementation. Also, new rendering engines and implementations may be added for existing materials. Thus, at run-time, rather than limiting the rendering to being performed on a pre-determined rendering engine, the rendering application may efficiently and conveniently manage rendering a graphics scene on a plurality of rendering engines or implementations.

A direct-drive brushless DC motorization apparatus comprises an outer rotor with poles constructed with segments of permanent magnet material alternatively magnetized north and south. The outer rotor is adapted to be part of a wheel and rotating with the wheel about an axis thereof. A stator core of ferromagnetic material is spaced inwardly of said rotor to define a clearance gap with the rotor such that the rotor is rotatable about the stator core. The stator core has forty-two slots and defines teeth therebetween. A three-phase winding with coils of insulated wire is wound around the teeth of the stator core. The three-phase winding is divided in two sets of consecutive teeth for each of the three phases, with each of the two sets of a same phase being diametrically opposed in the stator core.

An ultrasonic interferometry technique for composite structures such as metal/polymer/metal structures exhibits high sensitivity to interfacial properties, even at usual ultrasonic wavelengths. A model for the ultrasonic response of multilayered media accounts for viscoelasticity. Results of numerical calculations point out scaling features for interfacial properties in terms of specific stiffness S. A method is provided for characterizing the interfacial adhesion in a multilayer composite in terms of the parameter S. The multilayer composite is ultrasonically irradiated with a pulsed signal to obtain a signal characteristic of the interfacial adhesion between the multilayers. A model is provided of the multilayer composite that includes at least two additional layers which model the behaviour of the interface between the composite layers. From the model, given various input parameters such as thickness of the two additional layers and the viscoelastic properties of the layers, a plurality of spectra, characteristic of interfacial adhesion between the modeled multilayer composite are obtained. The spectrum related to the ultrasonic signal is compared to the plurality of the modeled spectra and a best fit or match is obtained. The value of S relating to the best fit model is determined to be the value which characterizes the interfacial adhesion between layers of the irradiated composite.

A method for projecting a data set from a first object to a second object includes the steps of defining one or more sub-objects, wherein each sub-object represents a portion of the second object, associating the first object with a first sub-object, expanding a projection cage to substantially encompass both the first sub-object and the first object, and transferring the data set from the first object to the first sub-object using the projection cage. The disclosed method advantageously allows the first sub-object to be defined in a way that avoids undesirable cage intersections, thereby enabling the data set from the first object to be transferred without tedious manual manipulations of the projection cage.

Apparatus and method for detecting shear resonances includes structure and steps for applying a radiation pulse from a pulsed source of radiation to an object to generate elastic waves therein, optically detecting the elastic waves generated in the object, and analyzing the elastic waves optically detected in the object. These shear resonances, alone or in combination with other information, may be used in the present invention to improve thickness measurement accuracy and to determine geometrical, microstructural, and physical properties of the object. At least one shear resonance in the object is detected with the elastic waves optically detected in the object. Preferably, laser-ultrasound spectroscopy is utilized to detect the shear resonances.

摘要:
A method and system is disclosed for determining a property of an object by measuring ultrasonic attenuation. With the proposed method, a measured ultrasonic interaction signal of the object is compared with a reference signal produced using the same generation and detection setup, but using a reference part. The reference ultrasonic signal has low attenuation, and exhibits equivalent diffraction properties as the object, with respect to a broadband ultrasonic pulse. The difference is attributable to the attenuation of the object. The attenuation as a function of frequency, the attenuation spectrum, is fitted to a model to obtain a parameter useful for identifying one of the many properties of an object that varies with ultrasonic attenuation.
