Abstract: The invention is directed to a process for creating from a mesh an isotopologic set of parameterized surfaces. Said process comprises a step of providing a mesh having a plurality of vertices connected by edges, defining faces, the vertices comprising regular vertices of valence 4 and irregular vertices of valence different from 4. The mesh provided is for example a Catmull-Clark subdivided mesh. Said mesh further has a sharpness value defined on at least one vertex or edge, with a default value, the sharpness being representative of the attractiveness of the vertex or edge on the surface modeled by the mesh. In other words, the sharpness measures the difference between the mesh as it stands at a given subdivision level and the initial mesh. The process further comprises providing at least three different types of parameterized surfaces; and 
- for a face with regular vertices and a default value of sharpness on vertices and edges of the face, applying a first type of parameterized surface; 
- for a face with regular vertices and at least one vertex or edge with a non-default value of sharpness, applying a second type of parameterized surface; and 
- for a face with at least one irregular vertex, applying a third type of parameterized surface.

Abstract: A universal serial bus (USB) locking connector includes a cable, a polymeric body connected to the cable, and a metallic male plug that projects axially from the body. One or more locking prongs extend axially alongside but are spaced from the male plug and are resiliently deflectable toward and away from the male plug. Each locking prong includes a leg having an outer end, and an enlarged tooth defined at the outer end. The enlarged tooth includes an inclined ramp surface and a transverse locking face. When the USB locking connected is mated with a conventional female USB connector, the locking prongs engage a peripheral edge of the female connector and capture the locking connector to the female connector to provide resistance to axial pull-out. In another arrangement, a USB connector locking system includes a female USB connector installed in a housing. A lock ring is movably connected to the housing adjacent the peripheral edge of the female USB connector. The lock ring is manually movable between an unlocked position and a locked position. When moved to its tocked position; the lock ring frictionally engages an associated male USB connector that is mated with the female USB connector to inhibit disconnection of the associated male USB connector from the female USB connector.
