Research on applications of cyclides in solid modelling will be            conducted.  Cyclides are a class of fourth-order surfaces with                  circular lines of curvature, discovered by Dupin in the early 19th              century.  They possess interesting properties that can be                       algorithmically exploited to enhance the capability of the current              solid modelers.  The impact of cyclides in the realm of computer                aided geometric design is envisioned to include application in:  (1)            the generation of offsets of complex solids and (2) variable radii              blends of solids.  Both are important problems with varied                      applications.  Initial investigations indicate the cyclides can be              successfully used to solve both problems.  This work deals with                 specific research issues that pertain to the use of cyclides in                 offsets and blends of solid models.
