1.1 These methods cover procedures for planing, shaping, turning, mortising, boring, and sanding; all of which are common wood-working operations used in the manufacture of wood products. These tests apply, in different degrees, to two general classes of materials:

1.1.1 Wood in the form ...

1.1 This guide covers general procedures for the material selection and fabrication of reference blocks made of metal or metal alloys and intended to be used for the pulsed longitudinal wave ultrasonic examination of the same or similar production materials.

1.2 This guide covers the fabri...

To combat packet loss and realize robust video transmission over Internet and wireless networks, a new multiple description (MD) video coding method is proposed. In the method, two descriptions for each video frame is first created by group of blocks (GOB) alternation. Motion information is then dup...

Combined with the fact that information asymmetry between two belligerent parties is very common in information-based warfare, the bidirectional influence of asymmetric information on both sides is analyzed. A new damage coefficient is formed based on the analysis, and a generalized Lanchester warfa...

Based on building footprints (building polygons) on digital maps, we are proposing the GIS and CG integrated system that automatically generates 3D building models with multiple roofs. Most building polygons' edges meet at right angles (orthogonal polygon). The integrated system partitions orthogona...
