A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for simulating bristle brush behavior and generating vector output from such simulations. User input may represent a stroke made by a paint brush comprising multiple bristles sweeping across a canvas. A vector representation of the brush stroke's effects may be generated by, for each of the plurality of bristles: determining a path along which the bristle has swept, and generating a vector representation of the path along which the bristle has swept (e.g., a set of Bézier curves, or straight line segments). The vector representation of the effects of the brush stroke may comprise the vector representations of the paths along which each of the plurality of bristles has swept. The vector representations of the paths of each bristle sweep may be composited over each other in an image editing application to depict the brush stroke for display and/or for printing.

A modular paintbrush head and handle system using a plurality of lightweight ergonomic handles adjustably and detachably connected to a plurality of paintbrush heads. A complete array of brush sizes and types have standard connections that cooperate with connections on an array of handles. The connections create a pivot point such that the brush head may be pivoted about at least one axis for adjustment, and then fixedly held at the desired angle. One or more adapters can be disposed between the handle and brush head to increase the number of axes of rotation of the head in relation to the handle and thereby allowing for compound angles of the brush head relative to the handle.

A system and method for protecting bristles that includes a sleeve sized and shaped to be slideably received over a handle attached to the bristles, the sleeve formed of breathable material to facilitate drying of the bristles, and the sleeve formed of rigid material to support the handle and the bristles in a vertical orientation and to protect the bristles, the sleeve formed of a length sufficient to cover the bristles, and to cover at least a portion of the handle. In accordance with a method of the invention, the sleeve is slid over the proximal end of the handle and moved down the handle to a position where the sleeve covers the bristles and a first end of the sleeve extends beyond the bristles, and the handle is placed in a vertical orientation so that the first end of the sleeve bears against a supporting surface to hold the handle and the bristles in a vertical orientation.

The invention discloses an intelligent terminal, and a multimedia teaching system and method adopting the intelligent terminal. An audio noise-reducing processing circuit is arranged inside the intelligent terminal.

The invention further discloses a multimedia teaching system which achieves multimedia teaching operations through a remote controller. The remote teaching application field is further expanded. When accessing to a remote teaching system, the remote controller can simulate mouse functions and use button trigger events to operate the system so that applications simulating a paintbrush, a laser pen, etc. are achieved. Meanwhile, a user-friendly design is also realized. Teachers are enabled to control multimedia courses in a more convenient way.

An inventive method and system for allowing visitors of a web site to customize design elements into a final unique design through the use of an intuitive drag-and-drop or click-and-place method of assembly is presented. The inventive method and system enable better simulation of the highly visual, interactive, experimental and iterative creative design process employed by people when building artistic designs including jewelry. The drag-and-drop or click-and-place technique of putting gemstones into settings is analogous to an artist creating a painting by iteratively picking up a particular paint color with a paintbrush and placing the selected paint on a particular spot on a canvas.

The paintbrush-cleaning device includes a housing with an open top, a bottom drain and a means to hold paintbrushes into the housing's central space, which has paintbrush-cleaning liquid therein. A pair of rotatable radial brushes brackets the paintbrushes in the central space and are powered by an electric motor connected to the housing. A number of spaced upwardly directed jet nozzles are disposed in the central space for directing streams of cleaning liquid under pressure upwards towards the paintbrushes. An impeller pump may be connected to a manifold in the central space, from which manifold the jet nozzles extend. Two radial brushes may be used, with the members disposed opposite each other adjacent the sides of the top opening. The radial brushes bear a bristle portion comprising cleaning bristles, which is configured in a spiral along the length of the radial wound brush so that the radial brushes transport cleaning fluid upward and forward from the central space to the paintbrushes via the Archimedes screw principle. The device is simple, durable and efficient.

A paintbrush constructed in an environmentally conscious manner. In one embodiment, a paintbrush is constructed from a bamboo handle, stainless steel ferrule and a mixture of natural and artificial bristle. This mixture of materials results in substantially less environmental impact than conventional paintbrush materials.

A painting apparatus facilitating the painting of a surface that lies adjacent to another surface that is not to be painted contemporaneously. The apparatus comprises a roller applicator, a shield, a paintbrush, a handle, and a platform. The shield can rotate between a paint loading position and a paint application position. The handle is connected to the platform by a universal joint which allows the handle to be disposed at any angle relative to the platform, which, in turn, allows the painting apparatus to be used in conjunction with an extension pole in edging a wall along a ceiling without requiring the use of a ladder.
