Transparent Shading Device as Daylighting System
Building Integration Solutions, 2006Most shading device systems installed in windows or glass walls are used only for protection from overheating and glare, neglecting other possible functions, such as increasing the daylight level in the space or collecting solar energy. The blinds are usually made of opaque or translucent materials, and if they are partially or completely closed, a ...

A system for reliable composite shade matching: Custom shade tabs and an intra‐oral mockup
Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, 2023AbstractObjectiveThis article introduced a systematic approach to matching composite and tooth shades to create esthetic restorations that visually integrate seamlessly with the patient's tooth and surrounding dentition. A basic explanation of color science was presented to aid the clinician in adopting this systematic approach to color matching.

An Area Shading Graphics Display System
IEEE Transactions on Computers, 1979A computer graphics display system for rapidly shading areas on a raster scan screen is described. With the system, the host computer provides the display controller with the parameters of a set of component trapezoids which cover the area to be shaded.

An artist friendly hair shading system
ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2010Rendering hair in motion pictures is an important and challenging task. Despite much research on physically based hair rendering, it is currently difficult to benefit from this work because physically based shading models do not offer artist friendly controls.

Shading can have an impact on both building’s energy balance affecting not only annual energy consumption but peak loads as well. In addition influences users’ visual and thermal comfort. Proper selection of shading system is a key factor for reducing unwanted solar gains satisfying simultaneously daylight adequacy and aesthetic desires.

A Custom Shade Guide System for Composite Resins
Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, 1990Shade guides that are included in most composite kits are not made of the actual resin material. Therefore the true shade, translucency, or opacity of the composite resin is not readily apparent with stock shade guides. Due to this fact, it has become evident that the best solution to the shade guide problem is to construct a custom shade guide from ...

Series-connected shaded modules to address partial shading conditions in SPV systems
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2016With the progress of technology and reduced cost of PV cells, the PV systems are being installed in many countries, including India. Even though this method of power generation has sufficient potential but its effective utilization is still lacking.

A Real-Time Procedural Shading System
2001Abstract : Real-time graphics hardware is becoming programmable, but this programmable hardware is complex and difficult to use given current APIs. Higher level abstractions would both increase programmer productivity and make programs more portable. However, it is challenging to raise the abstraction level while still providing high performance.
