The 2D/3D Best-Fit Problem

In computer systems, the best-fit problem can be described as a search for the best transformation matrix to transform input mea- sured points from their coordinate system into a CAD model coordinate system using a criteria function for optimization. For example, if the criterion is Mini- mum Sum of Deviations, we search for a transformation matrix M that minimizes the sum of all distances from an matrix-transformed measure points to a CAD model

Optimal Cutting Problem

One of the tasks of the Construction office of company STOBET Ltd is to create large sheets of paper containing a lot of objects describing a building construction as tables, charts, drawings, etc. For this reason it is necessary to arrange the small patterns in a given long sheet of paper with a minimum wastage. Another task of the company is to provide a way of cutting a stock material, e.g. given standard steel rods, into different number of smaller sized details in a way that minimizes the wasted material

Исследование энергоэффективности электрического велосипеда

The paper presents a construction of an experimental electric bicycle for evaluation of the energy efficiency. The bicycle is equipped with onboard computer which can store the information about motion and energy consumption. The result concerning power, energy consumption, recharging during brake process, etc. are given. Energy consumption for 3 typical city routes is studied.В статье представлена конструкция экспериментального электрического велосипеда для оценки энергетической эффективности. Велосипед оснащен бортовым компьютером, который может хранить информацию о движении и потреблении энергии. Приведены результаты по вопросам мощности, потребления энергии, подзарядки во время процесса торможения и т.д. Изучено потребление энергии для 3 типичных городских маршрутов
