Abstract: Systems and techniques for assaying conformance to an activity manipulating a beaded-string smart device are herein described. The beaded-string smart device may include an active bead. The active bead may include at least one processor, at least one sensor, and at least one output device. A set of parameters for a model of the activity may be received to establish a measurable metric for at least a portion of the activity. A set of motion data may be collected. A position of the active bead may be calculated in relation to the remainder of the smart device using the set of motion data. The position of the active bead may be compared to the measurable metric to establish progress of the activity. A perceptible output of the progress may be provided via the at least one output device.

Abstract: A method, for use in meshing a CAD domain in a computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided engineering (CAE) system, comprises carrying out a procedure comprising: obtaining a set of mesh elements by extracting, from a previously-generated mesh of the CAD domain which has undergone a mesh element optimization process in respect of interior elements of the previously-generated mesh, mesh elements which do not satisfy a preselected mesh quality metric; decomposing the set of mesh elements into connected sub-meshes; carrying out a serial mesh element optimization process in respect of each sub-mesh independently and in parallel, under the condition that boundary nodes of sub-meshes are not moved, to obtain optimized sub-meshes; and obtaining an optimized mesh of the CAD domain by integrating the optimized sub-meshes into the previously-generated mesh.
