  • Publication number: 20230317035
    Abstract: A predetermined sound interval interlocking mechanism 7 for making opening and closing operations of sound hole covers 4 of an existing sound range interlock with opening and closing operations of sound hole covers 4 of an expanded sound range is provided and a sound hole switching mechanism capable of collectively closing the sound holes of the high-pitched range by one key operation is provided independent from the predetermined sound interval interlocking mechanism 7. By using the above described mechanisms, both ranges can be played only by the operation of selecting the sound range and operating the sound hole covers 4 of the existing sound range. In addition, a slide plate 9 sliding along an inner surface of the tube for forcibly opening and closing the sound holes 3 from the inside of the tube is proposed as the sound hole switching mechanism.

  • Patent number: 5892515
    Abstract: A shape model as an object to be analyzed and division information used to produce a finite element mesh are entered, and a recognition model is produced by allocating each edge line segmented by structural points of the shape model to any one coordinate axial direction in an orthogonal coordinate system. A mapping model is produced in which an orthogonal lattice is produced on a surface and the inside of an approximated shape model, and is displayed on a screen. The mapping model is modified by a system user in an interactive operation. A finite element mesh is generated from lattice points of the modified mapping model. The data input by the system user is processed in an input/output data processing unit, and shape model data of the object to be analyzed is produced in a shape model producing unit. Based on the division information input by the system user, a finite element mesh is generated on the shape model by a finite element mesh producing unit.

  • Patent number: 5760779
    Abstract: Sub-areas divided from a three-dimensional areas to be analyzed are generated by hexahedron meshes as much as possible, and for the sub-areas not formed by the hexahedron elements, tetrahedron meshes are generated by a tetrahedron mesh generation unit. For the mesh generation of the sub-area adjacent to the hexahedron mesh area and the tetrahedron mesh area, the data of other sub-area for which the mesh has been generated which is adjacent to the sub-area for which the mesh is to be generated is searched from a sub-area data area and a mesh shape formed by a plurality of triangles on the surface of the area for which the mesh is to be generated from the mesh shape on the joining plane to the adjacent sub-area to generate a quadrilateral mesh in the area for which the mesh is to be generated.
