A Virtual Jacob’s Ladder
نویسندگان
چکیده
An algorithm for modelling and simulating a virtual Jacob’s ladder is presented. Its motion is computed using our physically based simulator Iota. The model used to represent the Jacob’s ladder is dynamically restructured during the simulation via scripted events, but can also be performed interactively by the user. Modelling a Jacob’s ladder is achieved by reducing the problem to two dimensions by observing that the connectivity of blocks results in the loss of a degree of freedom in the hinges. Simulating the motion of the model is affected by dynamically altering the connectivity of blocks in the model. Finally, we show the Jacob’s ladder in the context of a virtual environment in which a user can navigate and drive the simulation in real-time.

The Great Chain of Being
William Blake’s iconic painting Jacob’s Ladder was inspired by the Old Testament story in the book of Exodus (28:10-19). Jacob, the son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham, was fleeing from his twin brother Esau who had vowed to kill him. On his way to a relative’s house, Jacob lay down for the night. As he was dreaming, he had a vision of a ladder between heaven and earth. God’s angels were on it...
متن کاملVirtual Adversarial Ladder Networks For Semi-supervised Learning
Semi-supervised learning (SSL) partially circumvents the high cost of labelling data by augmenting a small labeled dataset with a large and relatively cheap unlabeled dataset drawn from the same distribution. This paper offers a novel interpretation of two deep learning-based SSL approaches, ladder networks and virtual adversarial training (VAT), as applying distributional smoothing to their re...

This paper describes a pair of virtual Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. These virtual simulations were built using virtual devices that simulate industrial processes, emulate control system ladder logic functionality, utilize control system communication protocols, and implement industrial Human Machine Interfaces (HMI). The first of these focuses on a comprehensive vir...

A young male presenting with a history of progressive midfacial symmetry and limitation of mouth opening was found to have a unilateral coronoid hyperplasia forming an osteochondromatous pseudojoint with the expanded zygomatic arch (Jacob’s disease). This paper reviews the differential diagnoses of problems, especially in developing countries, that can cause restricted mouth opening, highlighti...
متن کاملVirtual prototyping of PLC-based embedded system using object model of target and behavior model by converting RLL-to-statechart directly
Abstract A domain-specific virtual prototyping approach is proposed that can reduce the risks involved in programmable logic controllers (PLCs)-based embedded system programming. The proposed approach is based on an object-oriented real-time modeling concept, plus an algorithm is defined that can mechanically convert a PLC program, written in relay ladder logic (RLL), to a statechart model. In ...
