This paper concerns with free form surface reorganization and assessment of free formmodel complexity, grouping particular surface geometrical properties within patch boundaries, using self organized Kohonen neural network (SOKN). Neural network proved itself as an adequate tool for considering all topological non-linearities appearing in free form surfaces. Coordinate values of point cloud dis...

This paper presents the progress in the development of a 4096 element MEMS deformable mirror, fabricated using polysilicon surface micromachining manufacturing processes, with 4μm of stroke, a surface finish of less than 10nm RMS, a fill factor of 99.5%, and bandwidth greater than 5kHz. The packaging and high speed drive electronics for this device, capable of frame rates of 22 kHz, are also pr...

Many real-world planning problems require generating plans that maximize the parallelism inherent in a problem. There are a number of partial-order planners that generate such plans; however, in most of these planners it is unclear under what conditions the resulting plans will be correct and whether the planner can even nd a plan if one exists. This paper identiies the underlying assumptions a...
