Title: System and method to achieve better eyelines in cg characters
Inventor: SHEERIN DANIEL PAUL
IPC: G06T13/40
Filed: 2013-07-03
Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to create better-looking animated eyes for CG    characters. The systems and methods set the rigging of each eye to, rather than precisely converge on a target location, converge but be rotationally or angularly offset by a certain amount to simulate correct physical eye positioning and movements. ln addition, the systems and methods provide even more realistic eye appearance by taking account of the refractive properties of the cornea, e.g., which can make the pupil appear larger than it actually is. The systems and methods may further take account of a shadowing effect of the upper eye caused by the brow, eyelashes, and upper lid (as well as an effect caused by reflection from the underside of the eyelashes). This darkening of the upper portion of the eye addresses vertical eyeline discrepancies caused by the visual and optical illusion of incorrect lighting.

Patent CA-2836116-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FIORE NICOLA
IPC: B24D11/04
Filed: 2011-07-07
Abstract: A multi-abrasive tool is constituted by a support on which abrasive elements are present. Such abrasive elements are arranged in a manner so as to form one or more paths along which the successive abrasive elements have grain size sequentially increasing or decreasing by an arbitrary quantity when passing from on element to the next. Such principle gives rise to abrasive tools with different conformation both for polishing machines and for grindstones. For roto-orbital and planetary polishing machines, and optionally orbital, such support is circular and the grain sequence is circumferential, or radial, or in both directions. A first tool is constituted by contiguous (or non-contiguous) circular rings, that are differently abrasive. A second tool comprises differently abrasive elements arranged along the circular peripheral edge. A third tool comprises differently abrasive elements arranged along a spiral path of 360° starting from the edge. A fourth tool comprises two 180° spiral paths with reversed roughness sequences. A fourth tool comprises pairs of differently abrasive small cylinders fixed to a plate on concentric circumferences. A fifth tool is obtained directly on the plate of the polishing machine by means of reliefs and spacers for fixing differently abrasive sectors. For linear polishing machines, the abrasive support is a belt along which differently abrasive rectangular or oblique zones follow each other. For alternative polishing machines, the abrasive support is a plate shaped like the aforesaid belt. For tools to use with grindstones, the multi-abrasive element has a cylindrical rotation symmetry, or conical with rounded tip, or spherical symmetry.

Abstract: A user's connections in a social networking system are grouped into a number of clusters based on a measure of the connections' relationships, or affinity, to each other. The affinities among the connections are based on the connections' own relationships and indicate a likelihood that the connections are in the same social circles. The clusters are formed based on the affinities among the user's connections, where the clusters tend to have connections that have relatively high affinities with the other connections the same cluster as compared to the connections who are not in the same cluster. An iterative hierarchical clustering algorithm may be used to collapse the connections into clusters based on affinities between pairs of the connections.

The apparatus ((10, 30, 60) includes a movable head (24, 44, 78) housing straightening means for bending the anode in a desired direction in response to feedback received from the sensor. The head is movable in two planes of movement which are transverse to one another. The apparatus further has actuators (27, 28, 48, 49, 81, 83) for urging the straightening means along its axes of movement in the first and second planes respectively so that the anode may be straightened by urging the straightening means in the second plane of movement while moving it in the first plane of movement. The invention also concerns a method of straitening an anode (100) by first bending the anode into a pre-set curvature and thereafter bending it to a theoretically correct curvature, which is preferably a zero curvature.
