We present a new haptic augmented reality system that modulates the perceived stiffness of a real object by changing the perceived material with vibratory subtraction and addition. Our system consists of a stick with a vibrotactile actuator and a pad with an elastic sheet. When a user taps the pad, the innate vibration resulting from the tapping is absorbed by the elastic surface. Simultaneousl...

The work presented concerns the design, specification and realization of a wireless sensor network node.In this paper, we introduces the original Mobile Intelligent System (MIS). The system is based on an embedded Co-Design FPGA architecture, including a microprocessor core and several dedicated IP (Intellectual Property). Real tests in network sensor of variable topology have been carried out ...

as a generalization of the triple i method, the universal triple imethod is investigated from the viewpoints of both fuzzy reasoningand fuzzy controller. the universal triple i principle is putforward, which improves the previous triple i principle. then,unified form of universal triple i method is established based onthe (0,1)-implication or r-implication. moreover, the reversibilityproperty o...

We present a general variable viscosity and variable density immersed boundary method that is first-order accurate in the variable density case and, for problems possessing sufficient regularity, second-order accurate in the constant density case. The viscosity and density are considered material properties and are defined by a dynamically updated tesselation. Empirical convergence rates are re...

The material point method (MPM) is a meshfree mixed Lagrangian-Eulerian method which utilizes moving Lagrangian material points that store physical properties of a deforming continuum and a fixed Eulerian finite element mesh to solve the equations of motion for individual time steps. MPM proved to be successful in simulating mechanical problems which involve large deformations of history-depend...

The logics treated here are the intermediate propositional logics of the form LJ + Ni(a), where Ni(a)’s are axioms of only one variable studied in Nishimura [6]. As is easily seen, the problem of the disjunction property of LJ+Ni(a) starts from i = 10 and the case of odd i can be trivially neglected. The case of i = 10 was solved by Kreisel and Putnam [5] and other cases except i = 14 were solv...

this paper is in search of designing the cellular manufacturing systems (cmss) under dynamic and flexible environment. cm is proper for small-to-medium lot production environment that helps the companies to produce variable kind of productions with at least scraps. the most important benefits of cm are decline in material handling, reduction in work-in-process, reduction in set-up time, increme...

Abstract. This paper presents new formulations of the boundary-domain integral equation (BDIE) and the boundary-domain integro-differential equation (BDIDE) methods for the numerical solution of the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation with variable coefficients. When the material parameters are variable (with constant or variable wave number), a parametrix is adopted to reduce the Helmholtz equa...

Large and variable polarization is an inherent property of a majority of blazars. Systematic rotations of the polarization vector have been claimed for several blazars. In some cases, however, the reality of these rotations may be questionable. We suggest an additional method for the verification of the reality of polarization position angle rotations based on the correlation of the normalized ...
