In a recent project the authors have proposed the adoption of Optimization Systems [1] as a bridging element between Computer-Aided Innovation (CAI) and PLM to identify geometrical contradictions [2], a particular case of the TRIZ physical contradiction [3]. A further development of the research [4] has revealed that the solutions obtained from several topological optimizations can be considere...

Structure-based protein design offers a possibility of optimizing the overall shape of engineered binding scaffolds to match their targets better. We developed a computational approach for the structure-based design of repeat proteins that allows for adjustment of geometrical features like length, curvature, and helical twist. By combining sequence optimization of existing repeats and de novo d...

In digital media transfer, geometrical transformations desynchronize the communications between the encoder and the decoder. Therefore, an attempt to decode the message based on the direct output of the channel with random geometrical state fails. The main goal of this paper is to analyze the conditions of reliable communications based on structured codebooks in channels with geometrical transf...

The typical description of a VLSI layout is the geometrical description of masks. Layout verification [4] is the testing of a layout to see if it satisfies design and layout rules. An important problem in layout verification is layout device extraction, which involves detection of capacitors, resistors, transistors etc. from the geometrical description of masks. The layout extraction process st...

The role of computers and of computer-aided design tools for the creation of geometrical shapes that will be judged primarily by aesthetic considerations is reviewed. Examples are the procedural generation of abstract geometrical sculpture or the shape optimization of constrained curves and surfaces with some global “cost” functional. Different possibilities for such “beauty functionals” are di...

Background: The design of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans is difficult and time-consuming. The retrieval of similar IMRT plans from the IMRT plan dataset can effectively improve the quality and efficiency of IMRT plans and automate the design of IMRT planning. However, the large IMRT plans datasets will bring inefficient retrieval result. Materials and Methods: An intensity-m...

Geometry is a base tool for establishing unity in Iranian architecture and is always considered by architects due to the discipline and rule that gives architecture to architecture. The architecture of the house in terms of its specific functional role, sought to adapt the geometrical principles to the best possible shape and achieve the proper understanding of the proportions and proportions o...
