Curved Fences for Part Alignment
نویسندگان
چکیده
In automated packing or assembly it is often necessary to bring randomly oriented parts into uniform alignment. Mechanical methods such as vibratory bowl feeders are often used for this purpose, although there is no theory for the systematic design of such feeders. A slanted “fence” attached to the stationary sides of a conveyor belt is also capable of orienting a stream of parts and a sequence of such fences has been shown [14] to function as a systematically designable linear parts feeder.

8 Pose Estimation of Multi - Part Curved Objects
Recognizing 3-D objects from a 2-D image is important for many visual tasks. Part of this problem is the estimation of the 3-D pose of the viewed objects. Alignment, introduced by [134], is a very attractive method since it is simple and efficient. Most objects demonstrated under the alignment technique are those for which low-level image features can be identified and matched with model featur...
متن کاملA complete algorithm for designing passive fences to orient parts
Peshkin and Sanderson showed that parts can be aligned as they move on a conveyor belt against a pass ive sequence of fences In this paper we describe the rst complete algorithm to design such sequences for a given convex polygonal part The algorithm is com plete in the sense that it is guaranteed to nd a design if one exists and to terminate with a negative report oth erwise Based on an exact ...
متن کاملPoor construction, not time, takes its toll on subsidised fences designed to deter large carnivores
Large carnivore conservation may be considered as successful in Sweden, as wolf (Canis lupus), lynx (Lynx lynx), brown bear (Ursus arctos), golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos), and wolverine (Gulo gulo) populations have recovered from extinction or near extinction to viable populations during the last three decades. Particularly the wolf and lynx populations have returned at the cost of an increa...
متن کاملFiber Line Optimization in Single Ply for 3D Printed Composites
In conventional manufacturing processes of composites, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) laminates have been made by stacking unidirectional or woven prepreg sheets. Recently, as a manufacturing process of CFRP, 3D printing of CFRP composites has been developed. The 3D printing process of CFRP composites enables us to fabricate CFRP laminates with arbitrary curvilinear fibre plies. This in...
متن کاملLandscape structure and live fences in Andes Colombian agrosystems: upper basin of the Cane-Iguaque River.
Changes in land use have generated a new landscape configuration in the Andino orobiome (mountain range) of the tropical Andes, resulting in a mosaic of cultivation and pastures interrupted by small fragments of forest and live fences. This has resulted in an ongoing decrease in the biodiversity of this biome. In the upper basin of the Cane-Iguaque River (Villa de Levya-Boyacá, Colombia), locat...
