Title: Innovations by Pascal Pradeau
Introduction
Pascal Pradeau is an accomplished inventor based in Suresnes, France. He has made significant contributions to the field of computer graphics and modeling. With a total of 2 patents, his work focuses on enhancing the efficiency of graphical manipulation.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a three-dimensional graphical manipulator. This invention provides a method and apparatus for manipulating a computer-generated model and visualizing a change in the projection plane before entering a projection creation command. After selecting a projection plane on the 3-D model, a generative drafting document can be created, wherein the projection plane becomes the plane of the screen. The system can display a visualization of the projection of the model in plane with the screen, without generating a fully computed projection. This display of visualization increases efficiency in processing time compared to a fully computed projection. The system also features a graphical manipulator that includes a circular central region with a button in the middle. Clicking on this button can serve as a command to the system requesting the creation of the projection. The graphical manipulator software tool includes quadrants, each associated with a direction in relation to an orthogonal axis. The four quadrants are defined as left, right, up, and down. Clicking on a quadrant can cause the projection plane to rotate by 90 degrees or another predetermined amount around two orthogonal axes of the model in the projection plane. The direction of rotation correlates with the quadrant selected. Additionally, the manipulator tool can include a pin tracking the circumference of a circle displayed on a computer screen. Selecting the pin and rotating it can cause the projection plane of a computer-generated model to rotate about an axis that is perpendicular to the projection screen.
