Sobh, Tarek M.; Henderson, Thomas C. | A dynamic framwork for intelligent inspection | CAD Computer Aided Design typically involves the design manufacture and inspection of a me chanical part. The problem of reverse engineering is to take an existing mechanical part as the point of departure and to inspect or produce a design and perhaps a manufacturing process for the part. ... | CAD; Manufacture; Inspection; Intelligent inspection | 1992 |

The programming language jigsaw: mixins, modularity and multiple in heritance | This dissertation provides a framework for modularity in programming languages. In this framework known as Jigsaw, inheritance is understood to be an essential linguistic mechanism for module manipulation. In Jigsaw, the roles of classes in existing languages are "unbundled," by providing a suit... | Jigsaw framework; Mixins | 1992 | |

Bruderlin, Beat | Robust boolean set operations for manifold solids bounded by planar and natural quadric surfaces | This paper describes our latest effort in robust solid modeling. An algorithm for set operations on solids bounded by planar and natural quadric surfaces, that handles all geometrically degenerate cases robustly, is described.

Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh | Dynamic reordering of high latency transactions in time-warp simulation using a modified micropipeline | Time warp based simulation of discrete-event systems is an efficient way to overcome the synchronization overhead during distributed simulation. As computations may proceed beyond synchronization barriers in time warp, multiple checkpoints of state need to be maintained to be able to rollback inva... | Asynchronous design; Micropipelines; Dynamic instruction reordering; Time warp simulations | 1992 |

Bruderlin, Beat | Robustness in geometric modeling - an intuitionistic and tolerance-based approach | An intuitionistic geometry approach is taken to develop two tolerance-based methods for robust geometric computation. The so called analytic model method and the approximated model method are developed independently of a specific application or a geometric algorithm.

Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh | HOP: A formal model for synchronous circuits using communicating fundamental mode symbolic automata | We study synchronous digital circuits in an abstract setting. A circuit is viewed as a collection of modules connected through their boundary ports, where each port assumes a fixed direction (input or output) over one cycle of operation, and can change directions across cycles. No distinction is ma... | HOP | 1992 |
