The first and second electrodes are optionally disposed on the same surface of the substrate. An integrated control circuit is located on the substrate proximate the first and second electrodes, and is electrically coupled to the first and second electrodes.

A system for processing spatially-referred information (spatial data), the information defines objects in a n-dimensions space and includes for each object information of form, information of position and information of attributes. The system includes structuring the spatially-referred information, by separating the topological information from the information of attributes, cutting each topologic information into geometric information constituting information of form and information of position, ordering descriptions of the objects into elementary families having the same attributes, by applying criteria formed into a hierarchy, and organizing structured information into two distinct tables comprising a block of information. The tables include a topologic table, referred to as the corpus, containing, for each elementary family, all the geometric forms defining objects with similar attributes, and a table of attributes, referred to as the index, containing the semantic and formal attributes, associated with the objects.

Disclosed are processes for the conversion of isomerizable halogenated C2-C6 olefins from one geometric form to a more preferred geometric form. Preferred process aspects involve converting C2-C6 olefin in a cis-form to a trans-form under conditions effective to convert at least about 50 percent, and even more preferably at least about 70 percent, of the cis-form compound to the trans-form compound. In preferred embodiments the C2-C6 olefin comprises tetrafluoropropene, with cis-1,3,3,3 tetrafluoropropene (cis-HFO-1234ze) being converted, preferably at high conversion rates and high selectivity, to trans-1,3,3,3 tetrafluoropropene (trans-HFO-1234ze). In preferred embodiments the conditions effective to achieve the desired high levels of conversion and selectivity include exposing the feed to a metal based catalyst selected from the group consisting of halogentated metal oxides, Lewis acid metal halides, zero-valent metals, and combinations of these, preferably under reaction conditions, including reaction temperature and residence time, effective to convert at least about 5% of the cis-form of the compound to other compounds and to further achieve a selectivity to the trans-form of the compound of at least about 70%.

In implant dentistry, scan templates, also known as scan appliances or radiographic guides, are fabricated according to patients' anatomy, and later on transferred into surgical guides through CT scan, image segmentation, surface reconstruction, CAD modification, and manufacturing. This approach may be also applied to other kinds of surgery. The final manufactured surgical guides can hardly match the actual geometry of the initial scan templates, thus cannot fit well into patients' mouths, which can pose serious risks for surgery.This invention introduces calibration features to design and make a scan template, and accordingly the workflow to perform treatment planning with the template. Calibration features are geometric form features or their patterns. Iterations are utilized to make sure the reconstructed model of a scan template can replicate or match with the calibration features. After treatment planning, calibration features are removed from the model (an optional step), and a surgical guide is designed and fabricated. This invention also includes some special calibration feature designs. The treatment planning workflow is greatly improved with calibration features introduced.

An assembly includes a flexurally deformed panel, which is connected to a membrane tie by a linear connector and is tied by the membrane tie to form a geometrically stable pre-stressed structure. More than one panel may be flexurally deformed and tied together in an assembly and more than one membrane tie may be present within an assembly. Panels are typically semi-rigid sheet materials, for example metal sheets, plastic sheets, or sheets of composite materials, such as glass or carbon fibre reinforced plastics or resins. Membrane tie members are typically flexible, for example plastic films, fabrics or nets or arrays of rods or cables. The assemblies have many different geometric forms and many different practical applications. Assemblies may be relatively large, for example demountable and reusable shelters or flat-pack point-of-purchase display assemblies, or may be relatively small, for example a photograph or postcard display system.

A method, apparatus, system, and computer-readable storage device is configured to perform three-dimensional (3D) modeling. A modeling tool is activated in a 3D modeling application executing on a multi-touch device. An input touch event and input gesture for creating a new 3D geometric form is received. Dynamically, in real-time as the input gesture is received, the new 3D geometric form is created and displayed. The shape of the new 3D geometric form corresponds to the input gesture.

In a vehicle information notification device, a crossing form information acquisition unit acquires crossing form information related to a geometric form of a crossing. A safe-condition check operation detection unit detects a right-and-left safe-condition check operation of a driver on an automotive vehicle. A safe-condition check state evaluation unit evaluates a safe-condition check state of the driver before entering the crossing based on both the crossing form information and the safe-condition check operation. Given information for supporting running of the vehicle in the crossing is notified to the driver based on an evaluation result from the safe-condition check state evaluation unit.
