Brushing up functional materials

Brushing up on Polymers

A symposium on the topic was held at the ACS national meeting in New Orleans last month. It was cosponsored by the Divisions of Polymer Chemistry and Polymeric Materials: Science & Engineering. The symposium was organized by Brittain; University of Houston associate chemistry professor Rigoberto C. Advincula; Duke University senior research scientist Kenneth C. Caster; and Jürgen Rühe, professo...

Daichi's Painting: Brushing Up Painting Skills with BrushDevice

We realize a painting system that imitates painting on real objects in the real world. Many studies have proposed methods of painting simulation on 2D canvas, and the quality of such methods is improving. However, painting on 3D objects is not easy using conventional input devices such as a mouse or graphics tablet with 2D display. We solved this problem by providing a ToolDevice in a mixed rea...

STUDY OF JOINING MECHANISM (S) IN BRASS/STEEL/BRASS SANDWICH MATERIALS PREPARED BY SCRATCH BRUSHING METHOD

In this research, the mechanism of joining three sheets of metals, i.e. brass-steel-brass, by cold roll welding process has been studied. For this purpose, the two surfaces of steel sheets were roughened with stainless steel wire brush by different amounts, then the brass sheets were put on both sides of the steel sheets, before they were subjected to cold roll process. During rolling, peaks of...

Compound Brushing

This paper proposes a conceptual model called compound brushing for modeling the brushing techniques used in dynamic data visualization. In this approach brushing techniques are modeled as higraphs with five types of basic entities: data, selection, device, renderer, and transformation. Using this model, a flexible visual programming tool is designed not only to configure/control various common...
