Fiction Free Form
Fiction Free Form includes a short story, free verse poetry and formal poetry. Arrangement of the collection follows the title of the thesis: the short story is first, free verse is next, and formal verse is last. Themes throughout the collection vary and explore diverse topics such as …

Free form finding of grid shell structures
… can have a great impact on its structural performance. This thesis presents a numerical implementation that finds the funicular form of grid shell structures. Two methods are implemented for the form finding: the potential energy method (PEM) and the force density method (FDM). The PEM, …

Algorithms for three-dimensional free-form object matching
This thesis addresses problems of free-form object matching for the point vs. NURBS surface and the NURBS surface vs. NURBS surface cases, and its application to copyright protection. Two new methods are developed to solve a global and partial matching problem with no a priori information on …

Genealogy Extraction and Tree Generation from Free Form Text
… to come by for ordinary people since their information is not always well established in known databases. There often is free form text that describes a person’s life, but this must be manually read in order to extract the relevant genealogical information. In addition, multiple texts may have …

Ontology-Based Free-Form Query Processing for the Semantic Web
… extraction ontologies to convert conjunctive, free-form queries into structured queries for semantically annotated web pages. AskOntos then executes these structured queries and provides answers as tables of extracted values. In experiments conducted AskOntos was able to translate queries with …

Augmenting free-form annotations with digital metadata for close reading of poetry
… reading, making annotations by hand while performing a detailed analysis of a text. Current digital tools for literary criticism,however, have many limitations with respect to annotation. In this work, we present an ethnographic study of 14 professional literary critics performing free-form …

Free-form optical systems for nonimaging applications = Sistemas ópticos anamórficos con aplicaciones anidólicas
La Óptica Anidólica u Óptica no formadora de imagen (Nonimaging Optics en literatura anglosajona) es la rama de la Óptica Geométrica que estudia la transferencia de energía radiante entre la fuente luminosa y el receptor de una manera eficiente. El término “anidólico” procede del hecho de que para …

Transforming Free-Form Sentences into Sequence of Unambiguous Sentences with Large Language Model
… of natural language programming, translating free-form sentences in natural language into a functional, machine-executable program remains difficult due to the following 4 challenges. First, the inherent ambiguity of natural languages. Second, the high-level verbose nature in user …

Analysis Driven Shape Design of Parametric Geometry Using B-Splines and Free-Form Deformation
… solid model geometry construction with free-form-like local deformation. One method explored uses the control point locations of certain B-splines defining the geometry as design parameters during optimization. A second approach builds on this method, using free-form deformation (FFD) to …

Strumenti e metodi per lo sviluppo prodotto di lenti oftalmiche
The recent introduction of free form NC machining in the ophthalmic field involved a full review of the former product development process both from the design and the manufacturing viewpoint. Aim of the present work is to investigate and to set up innovative methods and tools supporting the …

Bistable Auxetic System -- Programming synclastic curvature into 2D Patterning
… ever-expanding quest in architecture to deliver free-form geometry. Rather than relying on complex formwork, the proposed reconfigurable system can translate free form synclastic surfaces to pre-programmed 2D configuration, providing an attractive potential for the building industry. The work …

High bandwidth rotary fast tool servos and a hybrid rotary/linear electromagnetic actuator
… (ultra-precision lathe) to allow generating free-form non-axisymmetric or textured surfaces on a workpiece. A rotary fast tool servo produces an in-and-out motion of the tool relative to a workpiece by swinging the tool along an arc having a fixed radius. The rotary fast tool servos developed …

Time-optimal CNC tool paths : a mathematical model of machining
Free-form surface machining is a fundamental but time-consuming process in modern manufacturing. The central question we ask in this thesis is how to reduce the time that it takes for a 5-axis CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling machine to sweep an entire free-form surface in its finishing …
