the objective of this research is geometrical optimization of half toroidal continuously variable transmission (cvt) in order to achieve high power transmission efficiency and low weight. after dynamic analysis of the system, the contact between the disk and the roller is modeled according to elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication principles. accordingly, a computer model is created with geometric, th...

Energy-decreasing continuum flows of geometric order parameters are considered. The dynamics of pattern formation for an arbitrary geometric quantity is derived using a generalization of Darcy’s law based on the geometric nature of the order parameter. We consider flows in both Lagrangian and Eulerian formulations. The Lagrangian formulation includes a dissipative modification of fluid mechanic...

This paper describes a procedure that automatically generates parameters for the geometric modeling of kinematic chains. The convention of modeling used is the Denavit Hartenberg convention modified by Khalil Kleinfinger, noted DHKK. The procedure proposed here has two advantages. First the user does not need to calculate the geometric parameters by himself. He simply has to give the directions...

When designing a lowpass filter to eliminate noise in a triangle mesh, the cutoff frequency is typically chosen by a cumbersome trial-and-error process. Therefore, it is important to provide a guideline in selecting filter frequencies. Here, we explore the relation between the frequencies in a mesh filter and the geometric measures of user-selected features. In addition, by combining previously...

Consider a drawing of a graph G in the plane such that crossing edges are coloured differently. The minimum number of colours, taken over all drawings of G, is the classical graph parameter thickness. By restricting the edges to be straight, we obtain the geometric thickness. By additionally restricting the vertices to be in convex position, we obtain the book thickness. This paper studies the ...

Digitally, panoramic pictures can be assembled from several individual, overlapping photographs. While the geometric alignment of these photographs has retained a lot of attention from the computer vision community, the mapping of colour, i.e. the correction of colour mismatches, has not been studied extensively. In this article, we analyze the colour rendering of today’s digital photographic s...

The eccentricity in the Optical Disk Drive (ODD) is the inevitable deviation of the geometric center of circular tracks from the rotating center of the disk. The resulted “runout” in the drive is thus periodic with disk rotation. To overcome the runout, conventional approach is for the pick-up head to go forward to the target track while shaking with the period runout during track accessing. Th...

An optically tunable perfect light absorber as a refractive index (RI) metamaterial (MM) nanobiosensor (NBS) is designed for sensing chemicals, monitoring the concentration of water-soluble glucose, and detecting viruses. This plasmon induced metasurface works based on multiband super-absorption in infrared frequency regime. It consists metal mirror that facilitates MM to work an where pattern ...
