A new spiral cutting method and its implementation within a CAD/CAM application software is proposed to save more than 16% in the roughing process of pockets for light alloy aerospace parts. The application prototype developed automatically generates the tool paths related to specific pocket profile geometry. It is shown, through experimentation using the prototype, that the parameters which de...

We produce a detailed map of the perturbed surface density of neutral hydrogen in the outer Milky Way disk, demonstrating that the Galaxy is a non-axisymmetric multiarmed spiral. Spiral structure in the southern half of the Galaxy can be traced out to at least 25 kiloparsecs, implying a minimum radius for the gas disk. Overdensities in the surface density are coincident with regions of reduced ...

The radiation characteristics of a monofilar spiral antenna excited through a helical wire are investigated using the method of moments. The spiral has a circumference of more than two wavelengths (2.3 , where is the wavelength at a test frequency of 6 GHz) to obtain a tilted beam. An input impedance of approximately 50 is realized by appropriately selecting the diameter and pitch angle of the ...

The purpose of the current investigation was to validate an automatic path change feature developed for the ProZone3® system using a case study where a single player was filmed during 97 minutes actual match play. The player’s path changes were analysed in detail by a human observation process and compared to the path changes determined by ProZone3®. A secondary aim was to validate the times wh...

Our key finding system consists of a series of O(n) realtime algorithms for determining key from polyphonic audio. The system comprises of two main parts as shown in Figure 1 [1]. The first part (the upper dashed box) generates pitch class information from audio using the standard FFT and a fuzzy analysis technique. The second component (the lower dashed box) uses the pitch class information to...

The first hints that our galaxy, the Milky Way, might host a large-scale magnetic field came in the late 1940s, from studies of the polarization of starlight. However, optical polarization is a relatively blunt tool and it was only in the late 1950s that radio synchroton observations began to indicate the presence of large-scale fields (e.g. Gardner and Davies 1966). By the early 1980s observat...

Spiral structure in the southern half of the Galaxy can be traced out to at least 25 kpc, implying a minimum radius for the gas disk.

PURPOSE To evaluate the image quality and radiation dose of combined heart, head, and neck CT angiography (CTA) using prospectively electrocardiography (ECG)-triggered high-pitch spiral scan protocol, compared with single coronary CTA. MATERIALS AND METHODS 151 consecutive patients were prospectively included and randomly divided into three groups. Group 1 (n = 47) underwent combined heart, n...
