Automated Seam Folding and Sewing Machine on Pleated Pants for Apparel Manufacturing
The applied research is the design and development of an automated folding and sewing machine for pleated pants. It represents a significant advancement in addressing the challenges associated with manual sewing processes. Traditional methods for creating pleats are labour-intensive, prone to inconsistencies, and require high levels of skill, making automation a critical need in the apparel industry. This research explores the technical feasibility and operational benefits of integrating advanc…

Man, it took me a while to warm up to Costco, but it's really is one of the better corners of capitalism. They pay people fairly, sell only quality stuff, didn't disavow DEI, and aren't owned and run by hedge fund assholes.
It's amazing how nice it is not to have to evaluate every purchase. If it is there, it's usually because it has been proven to make customers happy and thus earned its shelf space.
And, no surprise, the CEO dogfoods himself.

Heegaard Floer theory and pseudo-Anosov flows II: Differential and Fried pants
In earlier work, relying on work of Agol-Guéritaud and Landry-Minsky-Taylor, we showed that given a pseudo-Anosov flow $(Y,ϕ)$ and a collection of closed orbits $\mathcal{C}$ satisfying the `no perfect fit' condition, one can construct a special Heegaard diagram for the link complement $Y^\sharp= Y \setminus ν(\mathcal{C})$ framed by the degeneracy curves. In this paper, we demonstrate how the special combinatorics of this diagram can be used to understand the differential of the associated …

Ordering curves on surfaces
We study the order of lengths of closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces. Our first main result is that the order of lengths of curves determine a point in Teichmüller space. In an opposite direction, we identify classes of curves whose order never changes, independently of the choice of hyperbolic metric. We use this result to identify short curves with small intersections on pairs of pants.

Today in Bergen, Norway, I actually encountered a fascist on a hike along sandviken.
He confronted me, saying my appearance didn’t fit the Nordic race and called me a disgrace for not dressing “appropriately,” and claimed that the Nordic Resistance Movement is winning big.
I told him “Em, actually, I’m an anarchist, and I don't give a shit about your opinion”, and then told him to “fuck off”, and he did.
Fascism doesn’t belong here, or anywhere, ever!

Self-intersecting curves on a pair of pants and periodic orbits of Hamiltonian flows
The character variety $\mathscr{X}(S,G)$ associated to an oriented compact surface $S$ with boundary and a real reductive Lie group $G$ admits a Poisson structure and is foliated by symplectic leaves. When $G$ is a matrix group, any closed curve $c\inπ_1(S)$ induces a trace function $\mathsf{tr}_c\colon[ρ]\mapsto \mathsf{tr}(ρ(c))$ on $\mathscr{X}(S,G)$. In this article, we study the Hamiltonian flows of trace functions associated to self-intersecting curves. We prove that when $G=\mathsf{PS…

"I don’t believe anyone was thinking about [the] 51st state idea. Truthfully, the intent was to not get political, but to focus on social, cultural, and economic ties."
I hate this nonsense. With great respect and in kindness: Mr. City Councillor in Bellngham needs to put on his big boy pants and admit that yes it is political and yes it is about the 51st state rhetoric and all the scary border stuff from his federal government.
His choice not to admit that and speak against that, and worse, to act like it doesn’t exist, is a further insult and will not help to get BC/Canadians to resume visits.

Hyperbolic spaces not quasi-isometric to curve complexes
We identify a condition that prevents a hyperbolic space from being quasi-isometric to the curve complex of any non-sporadic surface. Our result applies to several hyperbolic complexes, including arc complexes, disk complexes, non-separating curve complexes, (hyperbolic) pants complexes, and to free splitting complexes of free groups.
