Estimating the number of distinct values is a wellstudied problem, due to its frequent occurrence in queries and its importance in selecting good query plans. Previous work has sh...
A simple, fast, and approximate voxel-based approach to 6DOF haptic rendering is presented. It can reliably sustain a 1000 Hz haptic refresh rate without resorting to asynchronous...
