Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of proximal contour of class II composite restorations placed with straight or contoured matrix band using composite resins with different modulus of elasticity on stress distribution by finite element method. Methods: In order to evaluate the stress distribution of class II composite restorations using finite element method, upper ...

Internal traverse grinding (ITG) using electroplated cBN tools in high-speed conditions is a highly efficient manufacturing process for bore machining single axial stroke. However, control difficult. Due to the direction of feed, changes normal force and thus radial deflection tool workpiece spindle system, lead deviations contour along length bore, especially at exit. Simulations including thi...

We present a new active contour model in spatiovelocity space which is based on the probability data association lter (PDAF) approach. It employs a directional-based measurement model of image potential and of opticalow along the contour points. The proposed directional approach of measurements is the basis for the velocity-based discrimination between measurements of the object to that of imag...

Emotions influence a person’s way of speaking, and it is possible to identify the emotional state of a speaker by merely listening to spoken utterances. The purpose of this study is to distinguish between basic emotions by prosodic features, in particular by characteristics of the fundamental frequency (F0). In addition to the measurement of global features (e.g. average F0 or frequency range) ...

In this paper we present a framework for real-time tracking of deformable contours in volumetric datasets. The framework supports composite deformation models, controlled by parameters for contour shape in addition to global pose. Tracking is performed in a sequential state estimation fashion, using an extended Kalman filter, with measurement processing in information space to effectively predi...

This document provides technical details about the data presented in SNO’s NCD flux publication An Independent Measurement of the Total Active B Solar Neutrino Flux Using an Array of He Proportional Counters at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory [1]. It describes how SNO uses the data in this publication to produce its own MSW contour plots; as well as how someone can combine the SNO data with ot...

Query-by-Humming (QBH) is an increasingly prominent technology that allows users to browse through a song database by singing/humming a part of the song they wish to retrieve. Besides these cases, QBH can also be used to track the performance of a user in applications such as Score Alignment and Real-Time Accompaniment. In this paper we present an online QBH algorithm for audio recordings of si...

Given a cloud of measurement points from the surface of a 3D object, we address the problem of recognizing and reconstructing special surface types. We survey our work on this problem, which is based on approximation in the space of lines and in the space of planes. Moreover, we discuss new generalizations which also use a recently developed technique for parametric surface fitting with an acti...
