Weight-based shape modification of NURBS curves by constrained optimization

A new method for shape modification of non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) curves was presented, which was based on constrained optimization by means of altering the corresponding weights of their control points. Using this method, the original NURBS curve was modified to satisfy the specified geometric constraints, including single point and multi-point constraints. With the introduction of free parameters, the shapes of modified NURBS curves could be further controlled by users without destroying geometric constraints and seem more naturally. Since explicit formulae were derived to compute new weights of the modified curve, the method was simple and easy to program. Practical examples showed that the method was applicable for computer aided design (CAD) system.

筑牢“民心之城”--论党员干部如何修“德”

自古以来我国就重视官德培育。修好为官之德,对党员干部自身修养的提高、党之根基“民心之城”的巩固有着重要作用。培养党员干部的官德品性,既需要自身做到立德、修德、践德的高度个人自觉,也需要制度、考核、监督有形的外部约束,如此才能做一个身怀浩然正气、心连百姓之心的好干部。
