Patent number: 10521938Abstract: Techniques for smoothing curves used in computer animation are disclosed. In one embodiment, a smoothing application determines a number of tangents to a curve in response to a modification to a knot or the addition of a new knot, by first determining phantom tangents at knots that are neighbors of each knot that is processed. The smoothing application then (1) determines a length of each side of the tangent at each knot being processed as 1/N times the x-axis distance to a neighboring knot on the same side, (2) determines initial angles of the tangent at each knot being processed by pointing a tip of each side of the tangent at a near tip of a previously determined phantom tangent on the same side, and (3) reconciles the initial angles determined for the tangent at each knot being processed by taking a weighted sum of those initial angles.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: PixarInventors: Jayson G. Price, Thomas A. Hahn

Patent number: 10288091Abstract: An ultrasonic displacement measurement system for hydraulic accumulators (3) has a movable separating element (5) separating two media chambers (9, 11) from each other in a media-tight manner within a housing (7). One media chamber (9) holds a compressible fluid or an incompressible fluid. The other media chamber (11) holds a compressible working gas. The particular position of the movable separating element (5) within the housing (7) can be detected by an ultrasonic sensor (13) that performs the position detection of the separating element (5) on the side of the media chamber (11) having the compressible fluid. A method for ultrasonic displacement measurement uses that system.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2014Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: HYDAC ELECTRONIC GMBHInventors: Mathias Leo Jirgal, Joerg Steffensky, Horst Mannebach, Thomas Hahn-Jose

Publication number: 20180363451Abstract: A tool for detecting leaks in downhole pipe comprises wave generator devices (30, 40) for coupling ultrasound waves into the surrounding fluid. The waves are scattered, e.g. reflected, at inhomogeneities (60) in the fluid, for example particles, scatterers and/or water in oil, thereby generating reflections (70) which are measured with a receiver device (25) and evaluated for determining the positions of the inhomogeneities in the fluid in order to detect e.g. crossflows (15) generated by leakage (65).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2016Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventors: Wilhelmus Hubertus Paulus Maria Heijnen, Thomas Hahn-Jose
