Patent CA-2337360-C (CA)
Inventor: GIOIA PATRICK
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 1999-08-03
Granted: 2007-10-23
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for coding an original mesh (M) representing a three-dimensional object, which consists in determining a simple meshing (M0) having a reduced number of defined faces each defined by vertices and edges, then coefficients in a wavelet base of a function (f) whereof said source mesh is the image defined on said simple mesh (M0), so as to supply successive refined meshes (M j). The method is characterised in that each of the faces of said meshes (M j) is subdivided into a limited number of facets to form the higher level mesh (M j+1), the subdivisions of said surface corresponding only to those required for observing an affinity condition of said function (f) on said face. The invention also concerns the corresponding method for reconstructing the mesh.

Title: Multi-function slot configuration for mounting differently configured shelf accessories to a shelf
Inventor: PUNZEL WILLIAM H
IPC: A47B96/00
Filed: 2002-01-07
Granted: 2007-02-20
Abstract: A shelf includes a slot or opening configuration for use in mounting different types of shelf accessories to the shelf. The slot or opening configuration includes an enlarged primary or central section and a pair of secondary or end sections extending in opposite directions from the primary section. The primary section of the opening receives an axially-extending mounting member associated with a shelf accessory, such as a fastener for mounting a bin divider or the mounting portion of a rod-type shelf divider. The secondary sections of the opening have a width less than the diameter of the fastener or mounting portion, so as to maintain the fastener or mounting portion within the primary area of the opening. A shelf accessory with a tab-type mounting arrangement, such as an upright shelf divider, is mounted to the shelf by positioning the tabs within the aligned secondary sections of the opening, and the tabs extend into and across the primary section. The slot or opening configuration is formed in place of conventional separate elongated slots and circular openings, which creates manufacturing and inventory efficiencies in reducing the overall numbers of different shelves to be manufactured and carried in inventory.
