Design Of A Security System Tool For Tapis Fabric Object In Lampung Museum Based On Internet Of Things (IoT) Technology

The Lampung Museum has many historical collections, one of which is tapis cloth. The tapis cloth collection at the Lampung Museum is still not safe because the layout is still open and the distance is far from CCTV. This study aims to design a series of security systems using two Passive Infra Red (PIR) sensor inputs and a buzzer output and a VC0706 camera at the Lampung Museum which can be monitored directly remotely with notifications on the Telegram platform. The research method used is design and testing (subsystem testing and overall system testing). The data from this research are the results of system design, how the security system works on filter cloth objects and the overall system. The security system was tested using Telkomsel, Indosat and Tri providers. The results obtained for image quality 640 x 480 Pixels obtained an average delivery time from Telkomsel providers for 25.2 seconds, providers for Indosat 27.4 seconds and Tri providers for 28.6 seconds. then an experiment was carried out with 3 different image qualities, namely 640 x 480 Pixels, 320 x 240 Pixels and 160 x 120 Pixels with Telkomsel provider with an average sending value for image quality 640 x480 Pixels for 25.2 seconds, image quality 320 x 240 Pixels for 20.5 seconds and 160 x 120 Pixel image quality for 17.7 seconds. Then testing sending Telegram notifications remotely from a security system tool and obtained that the time sent notifications from the Arduino IDE serial monitor is the same as the time received notifications on the Telegram platform, which means sending notifications takes place in real time.

The tourism industry keeps beaches clean in Mozambique

In this study, we conducted the first assessment of the litter abundance, diversity and predictors in Mozambique, by collecting approximately 2 tons of litter along six beaches across the country. We tested whether population, touristic industry, fishing, and recreation activities predict the quantity of macro litter for each of the 11 types and 141 subtypes of litter. Overall, we found that plastics made up 60.1 % of the items across all sampled beaches. Following plastics, clothing objects accounted for the second most weight (20.4 %) while foam objects were the second most abundant (15.7 %). More importantly, our results show that the tourism industry is a strong predictor for lower levels of litter across most types of litter while population density and fishing activity were strong predictors for higher levels. Our findings suggest that the tourism industry plays a crucial role in the country by maintaining the beaches clean.

Outskirt: The skirt as a queer object

The queer thought supports identities that blur the boundaries between social categories, blending them through different hybrids. In this article, the queer involvement with the subject world is projected on the world of objects, focusing on clothing objects. Unlike the tight, western wardrobe organized in an upright logic, the skirt is an object with diverse, free and hybrid possibilities for cultural definition, calling upon a discussion for identity aspects. These are embodied in the possibilities for identity performance while presenting protection and concealment or as self-expression and exposure. In this article, the view on the skirt is paused, creating de-automatization in its regard; the article examines the skirt’s material qualities using ‘anthropology of the object’, in which the material aspects are examined while considering its history understanding its sociological and cultural role. The article claims that the skirt’s changing, contradictory and fluid characterizations mark it as a different, unusual dress in the modern wardrobe array. Therefore, it is a free and ‘other’ factor, the wardrobe’s queer. The article states that it is an object containing diverse, free and hybrid possibilities for cultural definition, gender fluidity and the ability to undermine the binary division of wearable objects.

Household Cloth Object Set: Fostering Benchmarking in Deformable Object Manipulation

Benchmarking of robotic manipulations is one of the open issues in robotic research. An important factor that has enabled progress in this area in the last decade is the existence of common object sets that have been shared among different research groups. However, the existing object sets are very limited when it comes to cloth-like objects that have unique particularities and challenges. This paper is a first step towards the design of a cloth object set to be distributed among research groups from the robotics cloth manipulation community. We present a set of household cloth objects and related tasks that serve to expose the challenges related to gathering such an object set and propose a roadmap to the design of common benchmarks in cloth manipulation tasks, with the intention to set the grounds for a future debate in the community that will be necessary to foster benchmarking for the manipulation of cloth-like objects. Some RGB-D and object scans are also collected as examples for the objects in relevant configurations. More details about the cloth set are shared in http://www.iri.upc.edu/groups/perception/ClothObjectSet/HouseholdClothSet.html.

In recent years, eMarketer data shows that Indonesia's e-commerce transactions reached 69.8 trillion in 2016. Even in 2018 it is predicted that it will continue to increase to IDR 144.1 trillion.The most influential satisfaction factor is the customer's perception of what is shown in the catalog.This study aims to visualize consumers using the products contained in the catalog. using Augmented Reality (AR) technology. The results show that the use of AR technology, which is built using TensorFlow, is able to recognize dimensional points on the human body so that clothing objects can be visualized on the consumer's body.

Real-Time Cloth Simulation for Hula Costume CAD Development

In recent years, 3D computer graphics (3DCG) technology has been applied in various fields such as AR technology, VR technology, movies, games, and virtual fitting of clothes. Among them, there is the problem of contact between clothing and other objects (such as the body). In this paper, we focus on that problem. Since this research is part of the development of CAD for the design of hula costumes, and since we assume that the users of the CAD will have PCs with not very high performance, we took an approach that does not require a large amount of computation. As a representation of the cloth, we used a mass-spring model in which springs and mass points are connected in a grid. We also compared how the three methods of calculating position and velocity, Euler method, FB Euler method, and Runge-Kutta method, affect the simulation results.

Real-Time Cloth Simulation Using Compute Shader in Unity3D for AR/VR Contents

While the cloth component in Unity engine has been used to represent the 3D cloth object for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), it has several limitations in term of resolution and performance. The purpose of our research is to develop a stable cloth simulation based on a parallel algorithm. The method of a mass–spring system is applied to real-time cloth simulation with three types of springs. However, cloth simulation using the mass–spring system requires a small integration time-step to use a large stiffness coefficient. Furthermore, constraint enforcement is applied to obtain the stable behavior of the cloth model. To reduce the computational burden of constraint enforcement, the adaptive constraint activation and deactivation (ACAD) technique that includes the mass–spring system and constraint enforcement method is applied to prevent excessive elongation of the cloth. The proposed algorithm utilizes the graphics processing unit (GPU) parallel processing, and implements it in Compute Shader that executes in different pipelines to the rendering pipeline. In this paper, we investigate the performance and compare the behavior of the mass–spring system, constraint enforcement, and ACAD techniques using a GPU-based parallel method.

Adornando el cuerpo femenino: objetos de moda y género en "La de Bringas" (1884) de Benito Pérez Galdós

espanolThis essay explores the sociocultural relevance acquired by women’s clothing objects in Benito Perez Galdos’s La de Bringas (1884). The garments depicted in the novel constitute a discursive space to critically approach the complex relationship women established with modernity. Through her interaction with fashion objects, protagonist Rosalia de Bringas forges a modern identity, transcending domestic boundaries marked by the patriarchal structure, beyond the conventional image of the “angel of the home”. Likewise, this article addresses the importance of urban spaces that, like the Sobrino Hermanos store depicted in La de Bringas, favored women’s entry into the public sphere in the second half of the nineteenth century. espanolEl presente articulo explora la relevancia sociocultural que adquieren los objetos de vestir femeninos en La de Bringas (1884) de Benito Perez Galdos. Las prendas en la novela conforman un espacio discursivo a partir del cual es posible aproximarse desde una lente critica a la compleja relacion que la mujer establecio con el proyecto decimononico de la modernidad. A traves de su interaccion con articulos de moda, la protagonista Rosalia de Bringas forja una identidad moderna, evadiendose de los limites domesticos marcados por la estructura patriarcal y rebasando el arraigado modelo de angel del hogar. Asimismo, este articulo analiza la emergencia de espacios urbanos que, como el comercio Sobrino Hermanos retratado en La de Bringas, favorecieron el ingreso de la mujer en la esfera publica de la segunda mitad del XIX.

Enhancement of Diversity in Production and Applications Utilizing Electrolytically Polymerized Rubber Sensors with MCF: The Second Report on Various Engineering Applications.

We investigated the proposed hybrid skin (H-Skin) for the requirement of haptic sensibility in rubber using our proposed consummate fabrication process together with a multi-layered magnetic compound fluid (MCF) rubber and stocking-like porous rubber permeated by liquids, which was demonstrated in our previous report. The objective was to assess its applicability to sensing normal force and temperature, as well as fields dominated by shear force. For normal force, we investigated the piezo-electricity and electric current induced voltage, as well as the piezo-resistivity of the MCF rubber sensor under pressure. Additionally, we clarified the viability of measuring the softness and texture of materials using the MCF rubber sensor. For the shear motion, we clarified the characteristics of the friction coefficient using the MCF rubber sensor. The MCF rubber sensor can capture the reactions of paper, cloth, convex- and concave-shaped objects such as plant leaves and metal, and the skin of the human finger. Therefore, it is useful to investigate its texture and biological surfaces. Our obtained outstanding results indicated the feasibility of sensing the surface texture for any material in fields such as paper, fashion, apparel manufacturing, and cosmetic industries, which was impossible until now.

Clothed memories and clothed futures: A wardrobe study on integration and modest fashion

This article takes its departure in a study of eight immigrant women and their wardrobes in the period of autumn 2017–spring 2018. The study was conducted in the Danish municipality of Kolding as part of the initial steps in the research programme THREAD – a 33-month innovation project about integration through textile skills hosted by the Centre for Textiles Research in Copenhagen. The study should be perceived as part of a design anthropological investigation consisting of multiple approaches, with the purpose of developing opportunities for job creation and self-employment of immigrant women in the Danish fashion and textile sector. Methodologically, it is based on the so-called ‘wardrobe method’, which means that clothing objects stored in the homes of respondents form the material base of the study around which issues of integration, modesty, appropriateness, change, memory, aspirations, dreams, etc. are negotiated on a daily basis. The article further showcases examples of how the insights were pooled together with other explorative activities and later brought into play in the three E’s of THREAD – empowerment, employment and entrepreneurship.

Secret and safe: The underlife of concealed objects from the Royal Derwent Hospital, New Norfolk, Tasmania

This paper focuses on a collection of objects deliberately concealed beneath the verandah of a ward for middle-class, female, paying patients at Australia’s longest continuously operating mental health institution, the Royal Derwent Hospital in Tasmania. Cached in small discrete mounds across an area of some 50 square metres, the collection was probably concealed in the mid-20th century and contains over 1000 items of clothing, ephemera and other objects dating from 1880 to the mid-1940s. In achieving a possessional territory of such magnitude, this patient achieved a level of personal self-expression that is rarely encountered archaeologically, particularly within an institutional context. Analysis of this collection as an ‘underlife’ illuminates both functional aspects of the hospital and the hopes and desires of this particular, though still anonymous, patient and her vibrant world of things.

Subdivision-Based Nonlinear Multiscale Cloth Simulation

Cloth simulation is an important topic for many applications in computer graphics, animation, and augmented virtual reality. The mechanical behavior of cloth objects can be modeled by the Kirchhoff--Love thin shell equations, which lead to large-scale, nonlinear, ill-conditioned algebraic equations. We propose to solve these nonlinear problems efficiently using the recursive multilevel trust region (RMTR) method. Our multilevel framework for cloth simulations is based on Catmull--Clark subdivision surfaces, which facilitates generation of the mesh hierarchy and also provides the basis for the finite element discretization. The prolongation and restriction operators are similarly constructed based on the subdivision rules. Finally, we leverage a reverse subdivision operator to transfer iterates from fine levels to coarser levels. The novel use of this fine-to-coarse operator provides a computationally efficient alternative to the least-square approach used elsewhere. Using the resulting RMTR variant, we present numerical examples showing a reduction in the number of iterations by several orders of magnitude when compared to a single-level trust region method.

Foldsketch

While folds and pleats add interest to garments and cloth objects, incorporating them into an existing design manually or using existing software requires expertise and time. We present FoldSketch , a new system that supports simple and intuitive fold and pleat design. FoldSketch users specify the fold or pleat configuration they seek using a simple schematic sketching interface; the system then algorithmically generates both the fold-enhanced 3D garment geometry that conforms to user specifications, and the corresponding 2D patterns that reproduce this geometry within a simulation engine. While previous work aspired to compute the desired patterns for a given target 3D garment geometry, our main algorithmic challenge is that we do not have target geometry to start with. Real-life garment folds have complex profile shapes, and their exact geometry and location on a garment are intricately linked to a range of physical factors such as fabric properties and the garment's interaction with the wearer's body; it is therefore virtually impossible to predict the 3D shape of a fold-enhanced garment using purely geometric means. At the same time, using physical simulation to model folds requires appropriate 2D patterns and initial drape, neither of which can be easily provided by the user. We obtain both the 3D fold-enhanced garment and its corresponding patterns and initial drape via an alternating 2D-3D algorithm. We first expand the input patterns by allocating excess material for the expected fold formation; we then use these patterns to produce an estimated fold-enhanced drape geometry that balances designer expectations against physical reproducibility. We use the patterns and the estimated drape as input to a simulation generating an initial reproducible output. We improve the output's alignment with designer expectations by progressively refining the patterns and the estimated drape, converging to a final fully physically reproducible fold-enhanced garment. Our experiments confirm that FoldSketch reliably converges to a desired garment geometry and corresponding patterns and drape, and works well with different physical simulators. We demonstrate the versatility of our approach by showcasing a collection of garments augmented with diverse fold and pleat layouts specified via the FoldSketch interface, and further validate our approach via comparisons to alternative solutions and feedback from potential users.

Parallel cloth simulation with effective collision detection for interactive AR application

In this paper, we present a parallel cloth simulation with an efficient collision detection algorithm for interactive AR applications. In the first step of the proposed method, a set of sphere colliders is automatically defined for the 3D moving object colliding with a cloth model for the effective collision detection even on low-end devices. In the second step, the collision detection and handling between a set of sphere colliders and a cloth model are performed in parallel. We propose an efficient collision handling method based on a sphere to prevent the penetration of cloth into the object which can be happened due to the low mesh resolution of the cloth model. The proposed method was implemented as a plugin for Unity which is widely used for the real-time game development. Comparative experimental tests with the cloth object basically provided by Unity was performed in order to analyze the performance of the proposed method. As a result, we confirmed that the proposed method can reduce the cumbersome work to manually build colliders on a 3D model, and can effectively express more accurate and plausible behavior of the cloth that collides with the object.

A History Not to be Forgotten: Mass Burials in Mongolia

˜ ˜ ˜ ® n the summer of 2003, while Smithsonian physical anthropologist Bruno Frohlich was surveying burial mounds in the Hovsgol aimag (province), he was informed by Naran Bazarsad of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences that mass burials had been discovered earlier that year at Hambiin Ovoo outside Ulaanbaatar. The mass burials had been excavated by monks, but there were many concerns that the mass graves had not been documented adequately for historic and forensic purposes. A few miles outside the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, construction workers removing fill for housing construction had found the remains of many individuals with Buddhist monks’ clothing and religious objects. They notified the lamas at Ulaanbaatar’s Gandan Monastery, whose leader Lama Purevbat decided to have the monastery lamas retrieve as many bodies as possible and render Buddhist ceremonies and burial practices for the dead. The number of crania and femora (thigh bones) uncovered in their work suggested that the grave site contained more than 600 individuals. Following the removal of the bodies with large construction equipment, the lamas performed rituals for the dead and cremated the remains at the mass grave site. Subsequent negotiations between the Mongolian Academy of Sciences and Lama Purevbat and his associates from the Gandan Monastary resulted in a plan for continued excavation of the burial site at a later time through the application of modern forensic techniques and evidence collection. As part of this negotiation, Bruno Frohlich visited the Gandan Monastery where Lama Purevbat gave him a fascinating introduction to Buddhist mortuary practices, Buddhist anatomical learning, and the traditional treatment of human remains. The Mongolian Academy of Sciences agreed to coordinate with the Gandan Monastery and notify the Smithsonian Institution when the scientists could proceed with further study. A few months later, the Mongolian Academy of Sciences approved the continued documentation and investigation. Frohlich and Naran were to organize survey and excavation at the Hambiin Ovoo site with the assistance of Smithsonian physical anthropologist David Hunt and Erdene Batshatar, Tsend Amgalantugs, Enkhtur Altangerel, Batsukh Dunburee, and Jamsranjav Bayarsaikhan from the Institute of Archeology and the National Museum of Mongolian History.

Analysis and Simulation of the Shear Deformation for Woven Cloth

Woven fabrics are used in a wide variety of products, and they are prized for their flexibility, formability, and high specific strength. However, modeling woven cloth is difficult due, in particular, to complex mechanical properties. In this paper, the shear behavior of plain woven fabric is studied. Through the analysis, a mechanical model is proposed which take the shearing properties into account. It uses physical-based model for animating cloth objects. Furthermore, we demonstrate the efficiency of this method with examples related to accurate cloth simulation from experimental shear curve measured on actual materials.

Predictive vehicle safety using cooperative sensory systems

Continental as the coordinator of the research initiative Ko-FAS shows together with 17 partners which potential cooperative sensory systems have to increase traffic safety. The introduction of transponders into the traffic infrastructure can increase the safety of participants in road traffic. Integration of these transponders into clothing objects, satchels or even mobile phones is quite conceivable. But also track guidance of vehicles could be supported substantially.

Animation wrinkling

Moving garments and other cloth objects exhibit dynamic, complex wrinkles. Generating such wrinkles in a virtual environment currently requires either a time-consuming manual design process, or a computationally expensive simulation, often combined with accurate parameter-tuning requiring specialized animator skills. Our work presents an alternative approach for wrinkle generation which combines coarse cloth animation with a post-processing step for efficient generation of realistic-looking fine dynamic wrinkles. Our method uses the stretch tensor of the coarse animation output as a guide for wrinkle placement. To ensure temporal coherence, the placement mechanism uses a space-time approach allowing not only for smooth wrinkle appearance and disappearance, but also for wrinkle motion, splitting, and merging over time. Our method generates believable wrinkle geometry using specialized curve-based implicit deformers. The method is fully automatic and has a single user control parameter that enables the user to mimic different fabrics.

The Rodent Trade of Tzeltal Indians of Oxchuc, Chiapas, Mexico

Wildlife has always been an important natural resource for human societies to satisfy their need for food, clothing, medicine, tools, fuel, and ritual objects (Fa et al. 2002; P?rez-Gil et al. 1995). In particular, wild mammals have been a major source of protein for rural societies throughout Latin America (Ojasti and Dallmeier 2000; Redford and Robinson 1987; Robinson and Redford 1991). In Mexico alone, around 100 wild mammal species have known uses by local communities (Lopez-Wilchis et al 1992; Naranjo et al. 2004; Uribe and Arita 1998). In spite of the fact that small rodent species represent a significant part of mammalian diversity (Ceballos et al. 2002), the recorded use of rodents in Mexico has focused on large and medium-sized species (Guerra 2001; Jorgenson 2000; Naranjo 2002). However, there is evidence of the use of small rodents as sources of
