SELECTION OF OPTICAL SYSTEM PARAMETERS AND METHODS FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNICAL VISION COMPLEX FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING
Subject of Research.The paper presents the study of methods for control of rapid prototyping processes with the use of technical vision hardware and software system. Product monitoring is a crucial function of any manufacturing process. It becomes more important when the monitoring is performed during the the product manufacturing. Three-dimensional printing technology requires this kind of monitoring system in order to improve the visual and durable qualities of the product, optimize the material costs and the speed of manufacturing. Method. The parameters of the optical system for capturing images in the printing process are defined in theory. Optical systems are selected providing the necessary image quality. The analysis of the camera placement configuration has been carried out to match optimally the task. The analysis was based on overall dimensions of the 3D printer, its working area and free space in the printer case. The ways for solution of software part problems were analyzed. Main Results. A mathematical apparatus was developed for calculation of the optical system parameters of a technical vision complex. Different variants of optical systems were selected for efficiency verification of the hardware and software system. Different methods for development of programs and algorithms for data processing from video cameras were considered. Practical Relevance. The development of the hardware and software system that controls the rapid prototyping process has a significant benefit in expanding the possibilities of automating rapid prototyping processes. The results of the work can be useful in quality control of the product during its manufacturing, in disclosure of deviations from the virtual three-dimensional model, in development of recommendations for control commands update in order to improve the quality and increase the speed of product manufacturin
Estimation of coupling between oscillators from short time series via phase dynamics modeling: limitations and application to EEG data
We demonstrate in numerical experiments that estimators of strength and
directionality of coupling between oscillators based on modeling of their phase
dynamics [D.A. Smirnov and B.P. Bezruchko, Phys. Rev. E 68, 046209 (2003)] are
widely applicable. Namely, although the expressions for the estimators and
their confidence bands are derived for linear uncoupled oscillators under the
influence of independent sources of Gaussian white noise, they turn out to
allow reliable characterization of coupling from relatively short time series
for different properties of noise, significant phase nonlinearity of the
oscillators, and non-vanishing coupling between them. We apply the estimators
to analyze a two-channel human intracranial epileptic electroencephalogram
(EEG) recording with the purpose of epileptic focus localization.Comment: 22 pages, 7 figures, the paper is to be published in Chaos, 2005,

S=O...S=O Interactions as a Driving Force for Low-Temperature Conformational Rearrangement of Stable H-Bonding {S(O)-Ch2-Ch2-OH···}2 Synthon in two Modifications of Diastereomeric Pinanyl Sulfoxides Co-Crystal
Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. (Graphical Abstract) For the triclinic and monoclinic modifications of diastereomeric pinanyl sulfoxides co-crystal, remarkable alterations in unit cell parameters by transition from 293 to 150 were ascertained. Such alterations are accompanied by conformational restructuring of a stable hydrogen-bonded synthon from an "unfolded" to a "folded" form. The driving force of this restructuring is the tendency to form S=O.S=O interactions, which show up in the lowerature phases of both polymorphs. These are well-supported by the methods of quantum chemistry (DFT, B97-D/6-31G(d,p), AIM All)
Search for lepton-flavor-violating decays into a lepton and a vector meson using the full Belle data sample
Charged-lepton-flavor-violation is predicted in several new physics
scenarios. We update the analysis of lepton decays into a light charged
lepton ( = or ) and a vector meson ( =
, , , , or ) using 980
fb of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB collider. No
significant excess of such signal events is observed, and thus 90% credibility
level upper limits are set on the branching
fractions in the range of (1.7--. These limits are
improved by 30% on average from the previous results.Comment: 19 pages, 5 figures; added one sentence in Acknowledgments; added a

Measurement of Angular Coefficients of : Implications for and Tests of Lepton Flavor Universality
We measure the complete set of angular coefficients for exclusive
decays (). Our analysis
uses the full Belle data set with hadronic tag-side
reconstruction. The results allow us to extract the form factors describing the
transition and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element
. Using recent lattice QCD calculations for the hadronic form
factors, we find using the BGL
parameterization, compatible with determinations from inclusive semileptonic
decays. We search for lepton flavor universality violation as a function of the
hadronic recoil parameter , and investigate the differences of the electron
and muon angular distributions. We find no deviation from Standard Model
expectations
First measurement of the Michel parameter in the decay at Belle
We report the first measurement of the Michel parameter in the
decay with a new method proposed just
recently. The measurement is based on the reconstruction of the
events with subsequent muon
decay-in-flight in the Belle central drift chamber. The analyzed data sample of

approximately pairs. We measure
, which is in
agreement with the Standard Model prediction of . Statistical
uncertainty dominates in this study, being a limiting factor, while systematic
uncertainty is well under control. Our analysis proved the practicability of
this promising method and its prospects for further precise measurement in
future experiments.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev. Let

strong decay is expected to dominate in the processes. We also measure the ratios of branching
fractions and , which are consistent with isospin symmetry. The
second ratio is the first measurement of this quantity. Here, the first
uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic
