  • Patent number: 8374829
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating building instructions for a building element model, the model including a plurality of building elements, the building instructions being indicative of a sequential order of construction steps for constructing the building element model, each construction step including adding at least one building element to the building element model. The method comprises determining, from a digital representation of the building element model, a sequential order of deconstruction steps for deconstructing the building element model into building elements, each deconstruction step including removing at least one building element from the building element model; and inverting the determined sequential order of deconstruction steps to obtain the sequential order of construction steps.

  • Publication number: 20120132057
    Abstract: An audio matching method, use of the method in a game system, an audio matching system and a data carrier are provided, where the audio matching method is for comparing an input audio fragment with reference audio fragment variants, the method being an incremental search method, including repeating the steps of: obtaining a number of reference audio fragments variants on the basis of one or more stored audio fragments from a reference storage; and comparing the input audio fragment against the number of reference audio fragment variants to determine a comparison result; whereby repetition of the steps is carried out a predetermined number of times or as long as the comparison result improves.
