  • Patent number: 10311621
    Abstract: Techniques of animating objects in VR involve applying a motion filter to the object that varies with vertices on an object. Along these lines, a VR computer generates an object for an interactive, three-dimensional game by generating a triangular mesh approximating the object surface and bones including vertices defining motion of the vertices based on motion of an anchor vertex. When a user selects a vertex of the object as an anchor vertex about which to move the object, the VR computer generates variable filters for each bone that restrict the motion of that bone based on the distance of that bone from the anchor vertex. Accordingly, when the user produces a gesture with a controller that defines a path of motion for the anchor vertex, the bone including the anchor vertex goes through an unfiltered motion while bones remote from the anchor vertex go through a more restricted motion.

  • Publication number: 20050079047
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotation-locking device of a sector of rectifier blades (5) mounted in a sector of the turbojet housing. A sector of blades comprises a support base (3). A housing sector comprises two recesses perpendicular to the axis of the housing, each receiving an edge (34-1, 34-2) of the support base. At one and the same axial end of the housing sector, each recess opens out into a seat (30-1, 30-2) defining an axial face (32-1). The device comprises an axial stop (26) adapting itself on each side in the seats (30-1; 30-1) of the two recesses, and once the complementary sector of the housing is installed and during operation of the turbojet, bearing on the axial faces (32-1) under the thrust of the complementary sector of rectifier blades in order to provide rotation locking.

  • Patent number: 4279249
    Abstract: Osteosynthesis parts are made of an absorbable polymer composition consisting of a matrix of lactic acid homopolymer, or a copolymer very high in lactic acid units, having discrete reinforcement elements embedded therein. The reinforcement elements are made of glycolic acid homopolymer or copolymers predominant in glycolic acid units. Such a composition may be shaped with a minimum of polymer degradation into osteosynthesis parts exhibiting good resilience, shock resistance, and tensile strength.
