Abstract: This invention discloses a method for simplifying geometrical data in higher dimensions and in particular reducing three-dimensional (3D) mesh (801) from an original 3D mesh (800). The simplification method comprises a series of reduction steps combined with operations that map the original data onto the reduced data in subsequent steps. The mapping allows calculation of absolute geometrical metrics, including distance and volume, for bounded simplification.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the creation of large hierarchical computer graphics datasets. The method comprises combination (401) of one or more primitive computer graphics data objects (400) into larger data objects, and simplifying each of the said combined data objects (402). The simplified objects are then reused (405) in further combination steps in order to increasingly create higher order objects. The created hierarchical computer graphics data set is inherently optimized for fast rendering, and a method of rendering such data is also described.

Abstract: The invention relates to an elastomeric device (105), wherein the elastomeric device contains a relief structure with indentations with respect to the base (110), (102) and wherein selected ones of said indentations comprise at least two indentation depths (112), (108) and indentation widths (101), (107). It also relates to a method of making a master for construction of said elastomeric device comprising a procedure to provide a pattern on a substrate of a suitable material. One step in. the construction of said elastomeric device comprises a molding procedure of an elastomer. Methods of using the elastomeric device in printing, fluidic control, sorting, lab-on-a-chip devices are also disclosed.

Abstract: The following invention discloses a type of electronic circuits that is realized directly on textile. The circuit has opto-electronic functions that are realized with a number of components integrated into the textile. These components comprise electronically and/or optically active material, that are supported by fabric elements. The components furthermore include an electrolyte. The components have lest two separated structures of an active material, and the electrolyte is in direct contact with the two separated active structures in that component. The separated structures can control their electrical and optical character through the electrolyte. These types of devices are very suitable for implementation in textile, since they are quite insensitive to the spacing between the separated active structures.
