A method for use in deformation of an object. The method includes providing a high-resolution model of the object and providing a control cage for the model that includes control faces each defined by control vertices. The method includes generating a thin-layer segment for each of the control faces including extruding a set of the control vertices a distance toward the model. The method includes binding the control cage to the high resolution model based on the thin-layer segments. Each of the thin-layer segments includes a segmented mesh corresponding to a set of the control faces surrounding each face as it is used as seed for a segment. The method includes determining heat diffusion weights for the segments and using the weights along with mean value coordinates to statically bind the cage to the model and to determine influences of segments during deformation of the model with the cage.

A method of manipulating at least a portion of a character model into a pose involving a library data having a plurality of deformations, where each deformation is associated with index values of one or more distance measurement nodes. One or more distance measurement nodes are defined for the portion of the character model, wherein each distance measurement node comprises a number of points on a surface defined by the geometry of the character model, wherein the points are separated by a distance value. A particular pose is selected for the character model portion to establish an initial model by selecting values for the pose controls. For the particular pose, a value of the distance measurement nodes is determined. At least one deformation is selected from the library data based in the value of the distance measurement nodes and applied to the initial model to generate a deformed model.

A set of animation data for an element in an animation is statistically sampled to obtain a common context. The common context is a subset of a plurality of frames of the set of animation data. Further, output of a data-driven model for the animation, which utilizes at least a subset of the common context, is compared with output of a computational model for the animation. The computational model has a first set of logic. The data-driven model has a second set of logic that has less logic than the first set of logic. In addition, an error between the computational model and the data-driven model is computed.

An apparatus includes a container having a base for receiving a drive, and a clam having a first end that is rotatably coupled to the base, a second end, and a body extending from the first end to the second end, the clam rotatable relative to the base so that the clam can be placed at a first position and a second position, wherein when the clam is at the first position, the container allows the drive to be placed therein, and wherein when the clam is at the second position, the clam secures the drive relative to the container. A frame includes at least sixteen slots to receive respective drive storage devices, which store respective SFF8201 7 mm drives, in EIA RS310D 1U space. A frame includes at least forty-eight slots to receive respective drive storage devices, which store respective SFF8201 7 mm drives, in EIA RS310D 2U space.

A fault detection system 50 includes first and second serial data shift register stages 74, 94 which are connected to a logic circuit under test 106, and a third serial data shift register stage 84 which is logically connected between the first and second serial data sift register stages 74, 94. The fault detection system 50 permits all paths of the logic circuit under test 106 to be sensitized and allows for the detection of all propagation delay type faults at substantially the operational speed of the logic circuit under test 106.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for testing for stuck- open faults in integrated circuits (10) having a plurality of combinational logic devices (18, 20). The apparatus includes a chain of shift register stages (22), with each stage including at least two latches (L1 and L3). The bits of an initialization test are shifted down the shift register and loaded into one of the latches (L3), while the bits of a detection test pattern are subsequently shifted down the chain and stored in the other latch (L1). A multiplexer (50) is provided for selecting one of the outputs from the two latches (L1, L3) so that the initialization test pattern and then the detection test pattern can be quickly applied to the combinational logic so as to minimize hazards which could invalidate the test results.

A test pattern data generator 16 may be made to create and generate all of the unique test vectors associated with it. These test vectors may have an arbitrarily selected programmable length 26(a-d) and may be generated in an arbitrarily selected programmable quantity 28(a-d). Furthermore, a unique test vector may be generated in a number of clock periods approximately equal to the number of shift registers (156, 158) contained in a scan or application interface unit 20. All these features are accomplished by initially placing a seed initialization value in the test pattern generator 16 and having the test pattern data generator cycle through a number of states, the second state of the test pattern generation being inputted to a seed register 12. The contents of the seed register 12 are used as the seed initialization value for the second test vector to be generated by the generator 16. This process is continued until all of the unique test vectors have been created.

Systems and methods are described for leveraging distributed computation systems to split animation application processing of node graphs into two components: 1) a low complexity, primary node graph, that is evaluated by the application of the local device; and 2) one or more, higher complexity, companion node graphs that connect to the primary node graph, and are evaluated by a distributed computation system. As the local device evaluates the original, low complexity node graph, an artist is provided with fast, direct manipulation of an animated object. At the same time, the distributed computation system evaluates the higher complexity, companion node graphs, thereby providing a user of the local application with higher fidelity versions of the primary node graph as they are computed.
