Continuously adjustable berry sorter

چکیده
The article has indicated the principle scheme for post-harvest processing of cultural berries according to the possibilities of the developed new berry sorter. The article tackles the constructive features of the post-harvest treatment of berries as well as of the belt sorter that functions on the principle of successive sorting method. The aim of study was to evaluate the technological features of the berry sorter, based on test results, and to determine problematic assemblies in the construction of the device. Continously adjustable gaps between pulleys as new technological solution for belt sorter was tested and initial results are presented in this article with future improvements. Initial results in this article show that novel continuously adjustable berry sorter functioned satisfactorily. The properties of berry fractions produced with novel berry sorter were possible to change with short time. It was also determined that settings to ensure highest berry fraction purity need to be clarify.

A versatile linear insertion sorter based on an FIFO scheme
A linear sorter based on a first-in first-out (FIFO) scheme is presented. It is capable of discarding the oldest stored datum and inserting the incoming datum while keeping the rest of the stored data sorted in a single clock cycle. This type of sorter can be used as a co-processor or as a module in specialized architectures that continuously require to process data for non-linear filters based...
متن کاملDesign, Development and Evaluation of an Orange Sorter Based on Machine Vision and Artificial Neural Network Techniques
ABSTRACT- The high production of orange fruit in Iran calls for quality sorting of this product as a requirement for entering global markets. This study was devoted to the development of an automatic fruit sorter based on size. The hardware consisted of two units. An image acquisition apparatus equipped with a camera, a robotic arm and controller circuits. The second unit consisted of a robotic...
متن کاملA Personalized Time Management Assistant: Research Directions
This paper presents ongoing work to build the Personalized Time Manager (PTIME) system, a persistent assistant that builds on our previous work on a personalized calendar agent (PCalM) (Berry et al. 2004). PCalM was an early test of the hypothesis that in order to persist and be useful, an intelligent agent must learn and adapt to the user’s changing needs. PTIME extends this idea to include mo...
متن کاملBerry Size of Thompson Seedless as Influenced by the Application of Gibberellic Acid and Cane Girdling
The influence of GA3 application on the fruit quality and productivity of cane pruned Thompson seedless was evaluated. Four treatments applied were: GA3, Girdle, GA3 + Girdle and control with no GA3 and no girdle were used. GA3 or GA3 + Girdle berries resulted in heavier berries, hastened berry diameter, and produced larger berries in comparison to the control grapevine trees. In addition, bunc...
متن کاملCreation of Optical Vortices Using an Adjustable Spiral Phase Plate and Computer-Generated Holograms
An adjustable spiral phase plate and computer-generated holograms were investigated as methods for creating optical vortices. The phase plate was created by cutting a plastic microscope cover slip from a corner to its center and separating the resultant tabs by inserting a uniformly thick wedge between them. The computer-generated holograms were designed by mathematically interfering an oblique...
