Construction System

This paper considers the importance of quickly erectable construction systems, as well as their main purpose and applicability in various situations. Based on the analysis of scientific publications and the results of patent search, the authors suggest the structural features and technological solutions for installation of a new small-size quickly erectable collapsible construction system. The system is designed for temporary accommodation of a group of people involved in construction, geological exploration and other works in hard-to-reach areas, for tourists etc. Such a collapsible construction system can be adapted to serve as a temporary shelter for people surviving natural calamities. The foundation of the suggested system is an enclosed three-dimensional structure (crate) where the necessary structural elements are kept pending the assembly of the construction system, including telescopic legs and other tubular framing structures, rolls of tent covering, set of coupling elements, and supports. The specific features of this new system, as compared to similar space planning solutions, are low labor costs involved in its assembly and dismantling, small weight ensuring transportability of a collapsed and packed system, and reusability. Other benefits of the new small-size construction system include its low overall cost, environmental safety and energy efficiency.

Spatial Geometry

Vocal tract morphology is an important factor in voice production. Its analysis has potential implications for educational matters as well as medical issues like voice therapy. The knowledge of the complex adjustments in the spatial geometry of the vocal tract during phonation is still limited. For a major part, this is due to difficulties in acquiring geometry data of the vocal tract in the process of voice production. In this study, a centerline-based segmentation method using active contours was introduced to extract the geometry data of the vocal tract obtained with MRI during sustained vowel phonation. The applied semiautomatic algorithm was found to be time- and interaction-efficient and allowed performing various three-dimensional measurements on the resulting model. The method is suitable for an improved detailed analysis of the vocal tract morphology during speech or singing which might give some insights into the underlying mechanical processes.

Construction System

Leonardo grids is the name I gave to my bar grid construction system with which I was able to construct domes and spheres out of simple elements using one constructing rule. Most of the constructions I made where planar and static. In this paper I want to focus on the nonplanar and dynamic possibilities of the Leonardo grids.
