Simple geometric objects and transformations appear in representations and algorithms of geometric facilities in computer applications such as modelling, robotics, or graphics. Usually, these applications only support objects and transformations fully describable by rational parameters, and a comput

β¦ Synopsis
This paper studies some geometrical properties of conic sections and the utilization of these properties for the generation of conic section representations of object boundaries in digital images. Several geometrical features of the conic sections, such as the chord, the characteristic point, the guiding triangles, and their appearances under the tessellation and noise corruption of the digital images are discussed. The study leads to a noniterative algorithm that takes advantage of these features in the process of formulating the conic section parameters and generating the approximations of object boundaries from the given sequences of edge pixels in the images. The results can be optimized with respect to certain different criteria of the fittings.

## Abstract The medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) is thought to create and update a dynamical representation of the animal's spatial location. Most suggestive of this process are grid cells, whose firing locations occur periodically in space. Prior studies in small environments were ambiguous as to wh
The influence of boundary conditions on the frequency characteristics of a rotating conical shell is studied using the Galerkin method. The results obtained include the relationships between the frequency parameter and circumferential wavenumber and between the frequency parameter and rotating veloc
