Abstract: When the screw moves forward, resin backflow occurs. The backflow acts on the screw, applying torque to the screw. During forward movement of the screw, screw torque is produced as shown in FIG. 3A if the check ring is not worn, or as shown in FIG. 3B if the check ring is worn, because wear increases the backflow and delays the closure of the check ring. The magnitude of the peak screw torque and the associated time and screw position vary depending on the presence or absence of wear, so wear of the check ring is estimated from variations in these physical quantities. The state of wear of the check ring, screw head, check seat, and other parts inside the barrel can be estimated

Abstract: Motion may be transferred between portions of two characters if those portions have a minimum topological similarity. The portions or structures of the source and target character topologies may be represented as one or more descriptive files comprised of a hierarchy of data objects including portion identifiers and functionality descriptors associated with portions of the respective source or target topology. To transfer motion between the source and target characters, the motion associated with the portions or structures of the source character identified by a subset of source portion identifiers having corresponding target portion identifiers is determined. This motion is retargeted to and attached to the corresponding portions or structures of the target character identifiers. As a result, the animation of the portions of the target character effectively animates the target character with motion that is similar to that of the source character.
