This paper investigates the formation process of a typical microstructure in the glass microfluidic chip, i.e., cuboid microprotrusion, by the soda-lime glass molding process (GMP). The finite element models on the platform Abaqus/Standard were established for simulating the glass molding process. The glass viscoelasticity at pressing temperature was described by the General Maxwell model. The ...

Background & Aims: Various insoles have been developed, but little objective evaluation of their effectiveness has conducted. We investigated the effect supporting cuboid bone and anterior part calcaneus in healthy individuals.

Given a list of d-dimensional cuboid items with associated profits, the orthogonal knapsack problem asks for a packing of a selection with maximal profit into the unit cube. We restrict the items to hypercube shapes and derive a ( 5 4 + )-approximation for the twodimensional case. In a second step we generalize our result to a ( 2 +1 2d + )approximation for d-dimensional packing.

The existing combinatorial methods for iso-surface computation are efficient for pure visualization purposes, but it is known that the resulting iso-surfaces can have holes, and topological problems like missing or wrong connectivity can appear. To avoid such problems, we introduce a graph-theoretical method for the computation of iso-surfaces on cuboid meshes in R. The method for the generatio...

This paper describes a new robot specifically developed for topiary trimming and evaluates its performance through novel evaluation method. Experiments were carried out in real garden letting the trim spherical-, cylindrical- cuboid-shaped boxwood topiaries. The robot's was evaluated using quantitative method, which made accurate 3D point clouds of bush before after photogrammetry. For each the...

I read with interest the article ‘‘Combined double tarsal wedge osteotomy and transcuneiform osteotomy for correction of resistant club foot deformity (the bean-shaped foot) by Elgeidi and Abulsaad [1]. I would, however, like to draw attention to some errors in their description of the double osteotomy technique. In their article the authors mention that the procedure described by Jawish [2] in...

To achieve a mathematics learning goal, it is necessary to understand mathematical concept make easier determine solution. However, in class there are still difficulties achieving these objectives, especially area of surface cube and cuboid. One the students occurs because existence obstacles for known as Learning Obstacles. The research design this study uses qualitative method by identifying ...

Abstract The energy dissipation in sinusoidally driven particle dampers is highly dependent on the motion mode of bed. Especially, for applications low acceleration intensity, i.e., amplitude below gravitational acceleration, only small rates are obtained so far, due to sticking particles. Here, a new and more efficient design introduced such applications, whereby focus horizontal vibrations. p...

Let v1; : : : ; vn be unit vectors in R such that vi ¢ vj = ¡w for i 6= j where ¡1 < w < 1 n¡1 . The points Pn i=1 ‚ivi (1 ‚ ‚1 ‚ ¢ ¢ ¢ ‚ ‚n ‚ 0) form a “Hill-simplex of the first type”, denoted by Qn(w). It was shown by Hadwiger in 1951 that Qn(w) is equidissectable with a cube. In 1985, Schöbi gave a three-piece dissection of Q3(w) into a triangular prism cQ2(2) £ I, where I denotes an interv...

This paper presents a high accuracy stereovision system for obstacle detection and vehicle environment perception in various driving scenarios. The system detects obstacles of all types, even at high distance, outputting them as a list of cuboids having a position in 3D coordinates, size, speed and orientation. For increasing the robustness of the obstacle detection the non-planar road model is...
