Firstly construct a G1-continuous composite Coons surface patch, and then compute the intersection of the surface patch and the given surface. The desired interpolation curve is the intersection curve. Unlike some existing methods, several free parameters were introduced into the method that can be used in subsequent interactive modification so that the last curve's shape meets the demand. Experiments demonstrate the method is simple, feasible and applicable to computer aided design and computer graphics, etc.展开更多

To this simplified tumor model, a nearest neighbor search method is used to determine intermediate configuration and goal configuration, which the treatment head and ultrasound focus must pass in their localization to target volume. Based on the decided configurations, the continuity condition of combined Bezier curve in Euclidean space and De Casteljau algorithm on Lie group SO(3) are integrated to construct a combined Bezier positioning path of C2 continuity at junctional configuration, and an illustration of different positioning path planning is analyzed based on a liver tumor case.展开更多

The size of a minimum restricted edge cutof a graph G is called its restricted edge connectivity, and is denoted by λ′(G). Let ξ(G) bethe minimum edge degree of graph G. It is known that λ′(G) ≤ξ(G) if G contains restrictededge cuts. Graph G is called maximal restricted edge connected if the equality holds in thethe preceding inequality. In this paper, undirected Kautz graph UK(2, n) is proved to bemaximal restricted edge connected if n ≥ 2.展开更多

X is a 3-restricted cut of G, if G- X is not connected and every component of G- X has at least three vertices. The 3-restricted connectivity κ3(G) (in short κ3) of G is the cardinality of a minimum 3-restricted cut of G. X is called κ3-cut, if |X| = κ3. A graph G is κ3-connected, if a 3-restricted cut exists. Let G be a graph girth g ≥ 4, κ3(G) is min{d(x) + d(y) + d(z) - 4 : xyz is a 2-path of G}. It will be shown that κ3(G) = ξ3(G) under the condition of girth.展开更多

First, according to the starting track-point and the starting track-direction of the curve, make a new fimction F(x, y)=0 where the same curve withf(x, y)=0 is defined. Then we trace the curve between the two domains where F(x, y)〉0 and F(x, y)〈0 alternately, according to the two rules presented in this paper. Equal step size or adaptive step size can be used, when we trace the curve. An irregular planar implicit curve (such as the curve with large curvatures at some points on the curve), can be plotted if an adaptive step size is used. Moreover, this paper presents a scheme to search for the multiple points on the curve. Our method has the following advantages: (1) it can plot Co planar implicit curves; (2) it can plot the planar implicit curves with multiple points; (3) by the help of using the two rules, our method does not need to compute the tangent vector at the points on the curve, and directly searches for the direction of the tracing curve; (4) the tracing procedure costs only one of two evaluations of function f(x, y)=0 per moving step, while most existing similar methods cost more evaluations of the function.展开更多

First, we use a simple method to get rid of redundant points on every contour, then we interpolate them by using cubic Bézier spline curve. For corresponding points of different con- tours, we interpolate them by the cubic Bézier spline curve too, so the whole surface can be reconstructed by the bi-cubic Bézier spline surface. The reconstructed surface is smooth because every Bézier surface is patched with G2 continuity, the reconstruction speed is fast because we can use the forward elimination and backward substitution method to solve the system of tridiagonal equations. We give some reconstruction examples at the end of this paper. Experiments showed that our method is applicable and effective.展开更多

The microstructure and texture evolutions were characterized by optical microscopy (OM) and electronic backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The results reveal that the basal texture intensity of continuously bent and annealed (CBA) sample is drastically weakened. A large number of twins are induced on the concave surface by the 1st pass bending and the density of twins obviously declines during the 2nd pass bending owing to the occurrence of detwinning. Due to the asymmetric tension?compression strain states between the outer and inner regions during V-bending, twinning and detwinning are generated alternatively during the CB process. The Erichsen value is 5.2 mm which increases by 41% compared with that of as-received sample. This obvious improvement of formability can be attributed to the weakened basal texture, which leads to a smaller plastic strain ratio (r-value)together with a larger strain-hardening exponent (n-value).展开更多

Although manufacturing errors, elastic deformation, kinematic pair clearance and friction factors all will have synthesis effect on the position accuracy of the mechanical system, the essential factor to guarantee the movement precision remains the kinematic dimensions. Combining the classical theory of mechanical synthesis with the modern error theory and the numerical method, the authors put forward a systematic and complete process and method of computer aided design for the instrument crank-coupler mechanism in which the follower takes the linear displacement approximately within a certain limited domain, with the design result of least transmission ratio error.展开更多

The kinetic parameters of the fermentation process were determined from the batch experimental data. The continuous fermentation was modeled to be carried out in a stirred tank reactor. The effect of hydraulic retention time on the steady state continuous fermentation process of glucose by Aspergillus niger to produce gluconic acid was investigated. The result showed that increasing the hydraulic retention time caused the cell amount and gluconic acid concentration at the outlet stream increased but the glucose concentration at the outlet stream decreased. The steady state simulation result was useful for fermenter size determination. Dynamic behaviour of gluconic acid production through fermentation by Aspergillus niger was also studied for a fermenter with 24 h hydraulic retention time. Applying step change of inlet substrate concentration resulted in first order response of cell, substrate and product concentration with all having positive gain. On the other hand, applying step change of inlet cell concentration has resulted in positive gain for cell and product concentration and negative gain for substrate concentration with first order response for all those three parameters.展开更多

According to the coupled modetheory and the waveguide structure, the performance of the curved waveguide coupler (CWC) is analyzed. The results showthat CWC can accommodate wider multiplexing bandwidth than parallel straight waveguide coupler (SWC) due to thecompensation effect of the effective coupling length. The two variables, curvature radius and minimum spacing, increasethe design flexibility of the waveguide device. A 4-channel wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system based onCWC is designed. The deviation of the center wavelength, due to the errors of curvature radius and minimum spacingduring fabrication process, is investigated. The smaller the curvature radius and the minimum spacing are, the larger thecentral wavelength deviation caused by the error of the curvature radius and the minimum spacing is, which provides someuseful theoretical basis for the design and the fabrication of polymer waveguide devices.展开更多
