Laser projection, such as that used in laser light shows, usually uses computer-drawn graphics. However, some restrictions are imposed by laser-scanned displays on these vector-based drawings. This paper presents a general vector-oriented drawing method to display computer vector graphics on different laser-scanned displays with optimization. The method considers how to solve the three fundamen...

The two dimensional steady state Stokes equations are solved by using a novel MLPG-Mixed Finite Volume method, that is based on the independent meshless interpolations of the deviatoric velocity strain tensor, the volumetric velocity strain tensor, the velocity vector and the pressure. The pressure field directly obtained from this method does not suffer from the malady of checker-board pattern...

Previous approaches to trajectory generation for rigid bodies have been either based on the so-called invariant screw motions or on ad hoc decompositions into rotations and translations. This paper formulates the trajectory generation problem in the framework of Lie groups and Riemannian geometry. The goal is to determine optimal curves joining given points with appropriate boundary conditions ...

there are various ways for estimating velocity of money in economic literature and each has its own specific weaknesses and strengths. particularly, since a great deal of financial innovations and changes have recently taken place affecting the velocity of money, many traditional methods can no langer calculate the equilibrium velocity of money, and they are no longer dependable from the econom...

In a strapdown magnetic compass, heading angle is estimated using the Earth's magnetic field measured by Three-Axis Magnetometers (TAM). However, due to several inevitable errors in the magnetic system, such as sensitivity errors, non-orthogonal and misalignment errors, hard iron and soft iron errors, measurement noises and local magnetic fields, there are large error between the magnetometers'...

We present simultaneous pseudo-timestepping as an efficient method for aerodynamic shape optimization. In this method, instead of solving the necessary optimality conditions by iterative techniques, pseudo-time embedded nonstationary system is integrated in time until a steady state is reached. The main advantages of this method are that it requires no additional globalization techniques and th...

MEASUREMENT OF MUSCULOSKELETAL MOTION USING VECTOR TISSUE DOPPLER IMAGING Avinash Eranki, Master of Science George Mason University, 2010 Thesis Director: Dr.Siddhartha Sikdar The goal of this project is to develop, characterize and validate vector tissue Doppler imaging (vTDI) to measure dynamic musculoskeletal motion. We have developed a vector tissue Doppler imaging system using a clinical u...

We developed a three-beam Doppler optical coherence tomography (OCT) system that enables measurement of the velocity vector of moving particles in three-dimensions (3-D). The spatial orientation as well as the magnitude of motion can be determined without prior knowledge of the geometry of motion. The system combines three spectral-domain OCT interferometers whose sample beams are focused at th...

Ultrasonic wind speed measurement technique obtains more and more extensive use in the field of Meteorology and Environmental Protection etc. When designing an ultrasound wind vector instrument, synthesizing wind vector information, containing wind velocity vector and wind angle, is of prime importance to accomplish accurate measurement. This paper presents synthesis algorithm of ultrasonic 2D ...
