Takahiko Tanahashi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7152017
    Abstract: The numerical analysis system of the invention analyzes the dynamical state of the compressible fluid employing Hybrid Grid Adaptation Method by Finite Volume Method. The initial grid data are created by way of free combination of tetrahedral cells, hexahedral cells and pentahedral cells. The divide-delete index is calculated according to the density of the fluid in each cell. A triangular face of the cell is divided into triangular faces and the quadrilateral face is divided into quadrilateral faces when the cell is divided. The cell is divided only when three conditions are satisfied. The first condition is that the volume of the cell is greater than the minimum volume. The second is that the dividing level of the cell is not the maximum level. The third is that the divide-delete index is greater than the dividing threshold.
