Contour crafting technology: the toothpaste for constructions [PDF]
Business & IT, 2021 The raw concrete material, that influenced architecture in the 1950's is back. The comeback can be found in the building automation called Contour crafting.

The Contours of Locke’s General Substance Dualism
Journal of Modern Philosophy, 2022 In this paper, I will argue that Locke is a substance dualist in the general sense, in that he holds that there are, independent of our classificatory schema, two distinct kinds of substances: wholly material ones and wholly immaterial ones. On Locke’s view, the difference between the two lies in whether they are solid or not, thereby differentiating ...

Computing contour generators of evolving implicit surfaces [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2006 The contour generator is an important visibility feature of a smooth object seen under parallel projection. It is the curve on the surface which seperates front-facing from back-facing regions. The apparent contour is the projection of the contour generator onto a plane perpendicular to the view direction. Both curves play an important role in computer

A push-pull CORF model of a simple cell with antiphase inhibition improves SNR and contour detection. [PDF]
, 2014 We propose a computational model of a simple cell with push-pull inhibition, a property that is observed in many real simple cells. It is based on an existing model called Combination of Receptive Fields or CORF for brevity. A CORF model uses as afferent

Scientific Reports, 2023 The field of radiomics continues to converge on a standardised approach to image processing and feature extraction. Conventional radiomics requires a segmentation. Certain features can be sensitive to small contour variations.

Dielectric Resonator Antenna Geometry-Dependent Performance Tradeoffs
IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation, 2021 A flexible shape generation technique (Surface Contour Shape Generation) is combined with multiobjective evolutionary optimization algorithms in order to synthesize geometrically-diverse dielectric resonator antennas and explore the impact geometry has ...

Volume Contouring of Generic Unstructures Meshes
Journal of the Brazilian Computer Society, 1997 This paper describes a generic algorithm for iso-line, iso-strip, iso-surface, and iso-volume visualization of unstructured 3D meshes, such as finite element models. The four types of visualization are integrated in the same data representation. Consequently iso-volume contouring is trivially implemented as a combination of iso-strip and iso-surface ...

Shrinking tube mesh: combined mesh generation and smoothing for pathologic vessels
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2020 We present a mesh generation algorithm which is able to produce smooth meshes from point clouds derived from histological slices. In this work, the shrinking tube mesh generation is used on histologic images depicting pathologic vessels.

Evaluation of the safety of VASERTM in liposuction surgery to improve body contour [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica, 2019 Introduction: Liposuction has been improved continuously since it was first introduced. The third-generation ultrasound technology VASERTM (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) facilitates liposuction, providing improved safety and ...
