We propose a constructive solution to the problem of finding a cubic parametric curve in a plane if the tangent vectors (derivatives with respect to the parameter) and signed curvatures are given at its end-points but the end-points themselves are unknown. We also show how these curves can be applied to construct blending curves subject to curvature, arc length, inflection and area constraints.

We consider texture modeling techniques which are exemplar-based, i.e. techniques which use several example texture images to learn pixel arrangements. The motivation for these techniques is that the structure of a texture can be characterized by the spatial distribution of pixels in a neighborhood of the image or the multiresolution pyramid. To get another instance of the same type of texture,...

Study the effect of blending hydrophilic agent and water and oil repellent agent on cotton fabric property of antifouling and easy decontaminating. The study shows that blending could make the fabric have property of antifouling and easy decontaminating.

This study presents an investigation of optimal slope design in the second degree Kronecker model for mixture experiments four dimensions and its application blending selected fruits to prepare punch. The centers around weighted centroid designs, with model. is guided by fact that class designs a complete Kiefer Ordering. To overcome problem estimability, concise coefficient matrix defined aid ...

This paper presents some evolutions over the locomotion planning problem for digital actors. The solution is based both on probabilistic motion planning and on motion capture blending and warping. The paper particularly focuses on a new collision avoidance technique: while the legs and the pelvis of the digital actor follow a planned path, the animation of the upper part of the body is updated ...

In this paper, we discuss model predictive control applied to blending processes. Blending processes are ubiquitous in the chemical process industries since reactants usually need be mixed before entering a reactor. Many times, is trivial as pure streams of mixed. We consider non-trivial problems which non-pure with The motivating example problem that occurs cement production. raw mix for kiln ...

The use of blending and filleting operations in solid modeling and computer-aided geometric design is well established. The question of filling a gap between two (or more) surface boundaries or rounding a sharp edge has been extensively investigated. The vast majority of the prior work on blending and filleting concentrated on a wide variety of fitting schemes as well as attempts to establish a...

During the past decade, many corporations world-wide have embraced hybrid training programmes to derive benefits of the conventional face-to-face (F2F) learning environment coupled with those of online learning environment for their employees. A majority of researches on hybrid learning focus upon blending of existing F2F programmes of brick ‘n’ mortar institutions with online component. This p...

In this letter, nanocomposites based on maleic anhydride grafted high density polyethylene (HDPE-g-MA) and amine-functionalized nanodiamond (ND) were fabricated via one-step reactive melt-blending, generating a homogeneous dispersion of ND, as evidenced by transmission electron microscope observations. Thermal analysis results suggest that addition of ND does not affect significantly thermal st...
