Extracting useful and robust feature points from a cylinder image for 3D pose determination is a relatively difficult task, since there are no feature points or lines on the cylinder. In this study, a key vector from a cylinder image is found to yield a transformation. The cylinder is then "reprojected" from the original image to obtain a new image using the transformation. The new image reveal...

The exact solution is found for the Stefan problem of inwards freezing of a nonhomogeneous cylinder whose specific heat and latent heat depend upon the inverse square of the radial distance. The freezing time for the corresponding annular cylinder is found exactly. The validity of the pseudo-steady-state approximation for the solvable cylinder problem is verified explicitly. It is argued that t...

(Belfer) holds nearly 20,000 cylinder recordings produced during the 'cylinder era' of 1895-1929. Many cylinders have become deteriorated over the past one hundred years and cannot be played without suffering serious physical damage inflicted by the sharp styli (needles) of traditional mechanical playback machines. In some cases, even one pass of a stylus may irrevocably damage a cylinder. In r...

the only justification for the einstein velocity addition law appeared to be its empirical adequacy, so that the intrinsic beauty and harmony in einstein addition remained for a long time a mystery to be conquered. accordingly, the aim of this expository article is to present (i) the einstein relativistic vector addition, (ii) the resulting einstein scalar multiplication, (iii) the einstein rel...

‎‎in cite{fr 1‎, ‎fr 2} using faithful complex representations of cyclically pinched and conjugacy pinched one-relator groups we proved that any limit group has a faithful representation in $psl(2,c)$‎. ‎further this representation can be effectively constructed using the jsj decomposition‎. ‎in this note we show that any hyperbolic cyclically pinched one-relator group with maximal amalgamated ...

We analyze recent experiments that show that a cylinder can be suspended in a stable position by placing it on a vertically moving belt that is covered by a thin layer of very viscous oil. The weight of the cylinder is supported by viscous forces in the fluid layer, and the cylinder rotates with respect to its axis in the direction of the belt motion. We propose a simple model for stable suspen...

write: A pump has been constructed as a possible solution to a problem posed by one of us (D.W.)-namely, to produce a device which would wash out the bladder after prostatectomy vwithout breaking the closed drainage system (which could result ia an infection) and which could be used by relatively unskilled staff. The pump with its associated valves is composed of only two parts-a piston and a c...

This is the first study to quantify the measurement error due to the physical thickness of Fujifilm for several material combinations relevant to orthopaedics. Theoretical and experimental analyses were conducted for cylinder-on-flat indentation over a series of forces (750 and 3000 N), cylinder diameters (0 to 80 mm), and material combinations (metal-on-metal, MOM; metal-on-polymer, MOP; metal...

In this paper, the flow-induced oscillation of a prismatic body, viz., a square section cylinder (test cylinder) under interference conditions is analysed considering it as representing a typical building structure. The analysis is carried out using a data-mining tool called ‘Decision Tree’ mainly in view of assessing the safety of the structure (test cylinder) with respect to the vibratory amp...
