Central Conics on Parabolic Dupin Cyclides
TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated hyperbolas, ellipses and degenerate conics on parabolic Dupin cyclides and inverted them into planar or spherical conics via inversion.Abstract:
: Hyperbolas, ellipses and degenerate conics on parabolic Dupin cyclides are investigated. These central conics are obtained as the intersections of parabolic cyclides and the planes perpendicular to the two planes of symmetry of the cyclides. They are also the images of central conics in the parametric space. Since the conics are planar curves, they are transformed into planar or spherical curves on Dupin cyclides via inversion. Lemniscates of Bernoulli on Dupin cyclides and Viviani's curves on right-circular cylinders are included in the inverted conics. Two intersecting lines on a parabolic ring cyclide, which are degenerate conics, are inverted into Villarceau circles on a ring cyclides.read more

p-Bézier curves, spirals, and sectrix curves
TL;DR: It is shown that this subset encompasses several classical sectrix curves, which solve geometrically the problem of dividing an angle into equal spans, and also spirals defining the trajectories of particles in central fields.

Blending between right circular cylinders with parabolic cyclides
TL;DR: A method for blending between a pair of right circular cylinders with a parabolic cyclide is presented, which is a kind of variable-radius rolling-ball blend.

TL;DR: This paper considers the problem of obtaining an implicit form for the canal surface whose spine is the arc and the radius changes linearly in respect to the angle and presents a number of different solutions.
