We have developed a simulation program that presents the process of fastening band-shaped cloth objects. These objects are twisted in 3D space to mimic the movements of tying garments such as Kimono sash. Even using extensive collision handling, this simulation is tough. The difficulty lies in the complex object contacts: The movements of different parts of a long contiguous deformable object conflict with each other causing numerous collisions during fastening process; Such collisions cause implausible deformations; Moreover, the collisions in different angles are prone to fatal penetrations that are not simple to remove. We propose three schemes to solve these problems. One is a pre-step mechanical scheme for calculating fastening force to move the object smoothly. Other two are a post-step geometrical correction scheme to smooth deformations and a set of schemes to remove penetrations. These schemes proved to enable robust and visually realistic simulations with low cost.

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is useful for the analysis of biological samples such as serum. Free induction decays (FIDs) are NMR signals that follow a radio-frequency pulse applied at the resonance frequency. Short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is a basic method for time-frequency analyses. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether the STFT of FIDs enables the sensitive detection of changes and differences in serum properties. FIDs were obtained from serum collected from young, healthy, male volunteers ≤ 40 years of age and seniors ≥ 65 years of age. Temporal changes in the instantaneous amplitudes for the time-domain analysis, fast Fourier transform for frequency-domain analysis, and STFT were applied to the FIDs. The STFT-based spectrogram represented the complex frequency components that changed dynamically over time, indicating that the spectrogram enabled the visualization of the features of an FID. Furthermore, the results of a partial least-squares discriminant analysis demonstrated that the STFT was superior to the other two methods for discriminating between serum from younger and older subjects. In conclusion, the STFT of FIDs obtained from proton NMR measurements was useful for evaluating similarities and dissimilarities in the FIDs obtained from serum samples.
