The shape-adjustable curve constructed by uniform B-spline basis function with parameter is an extension of uniform B-spline curve. In this paper, we study the relation between the uniform B-spline basis functions with parameter and the B-spline basis functions. Based on the degree elevation of B-spline, we extend the uniform B-spline basis functions with parameter to ones with multiple paramet...

The critical currents of Nb/AI, A1--oxide, AI/Nb tunnel junctions of various shapes have been measured as a function of the applied magnetic field. For the square junction and for some special shapes like the diamond, "1 + cosine" and quartic junctions the Ic (B) pattern falls off theoretically as 1/B ", with n respectively equal to 1, 2, 3 and 4. In general the measurements are in good agreeme...

Stitching or merging B-spline curves is a frequently used technique in geometric modeling, and is usually implemented in CAD-systems. These algorithms are basically numerical interpolations using the least squares method. The problem, how to replace two or more curves which are generated separately and defined as B-spline curves, has well functioning numerical solutions, therefore, relatively f...
