ZERO SPEED OR MOTION DETECTION Motion detection is a valuable resource for improving productivity in many plants. As production speeds increase and more sophisticated assembly lines and conveyor systems are used, there is a greater need to monitor and control conveyor speed. This is particularly true since there are more motors, transmissions and belts that can fail, causing the system to halt....

This paper is a tutorial introduction to field-programmable analog arrays, as well as a review of existing field-programmable analog array architectures, of both educational and industrial origin. Circuit issues relevant to the development of high-bandwidth FPAAs are presented. A current conveyor-based architecture, which promises to achieve video bandwidths, is described. Test results are pres...

The development of knowledge-based systems (KBS) enables accumulated experience and knowledge to be applied to the intelligent monitoring in the field of large-scale belt conveyor systems. The first step of building knowledge bases in a KBS is referred to the knowledge acquisition (KA). KA from domain experts and field experiments has often been considered as the most difficult task and time-co...

This paper introduces a new type of CMOS-based current conveyor: current controlled fully balanced second generation current conveyor (CFBCCII) element which has a pair of differential Y terminals, a pair of differential X terminals and two pairs of Z terminals. The proposed circuit offers electronic tuning possibilities by means of a current adjustable intrinsic resistance at its X terminal. A...

Field Programmable Mixed-Signal Arrays (FPAA) designs are reviewed and standard building blocks described with respect to circuit parameters and design limitations. The second-generation current conveyor is introduced as an analog building block with properties similar to those of an operational amplifier, and which has the potential for high frequency operation. A current conveyor can be imple...


 Pendistribusian bahan baku maupun hasil produksi pada dunia industri dilakukan oleh alat pemindah bahan, seperti conveyor. Conveyor memiliki beberapa jenis, yaitu belt conveyor, screw apron dan pneumatic Belt conveyor merupakan peralatan angkut material secara horizontal dengan cara mentransport muatan berupa unit curah di atas sabuk yang digerakkan drive / head pulley terhubung puli tra...

A project work was done within the time frame of January to December 2004 in Islamic University of Technology, Gazipur, Bangladesh. The main objective of this work is to design a Flexible Material Handling System (FMS) that can automatically synchronize its speed as per requirement. The system is designed for two types of conveyor system where the speed of the horizontal conveyor belt will be r...

Three-dimensional (3D) ac electro-osmotic (ACEO) pumps have recently been developed that are much faster and more robust than previous planar designs. The basic idea is to create a "fluid conveyor belt" by placing opposing ACEO slip velocities at different heights. Current designs involve electrodes with electroplated steps, whose heights have been optimized in simulations and experiments. Here...

This paper presents a novel quadrature sinusoidal oscillator using second-generation current conveyor transconductance amplifier as an active building block. The proposed circuit employs only a single second-generation current conveyor transconductance amplifier, four passive components. The proposed circuit offers the advantages of independent control of the condition of oscillation and freque...

ABSTRACT: Floating inductor circuits using minimum number of passive elements namely two resistors and one capacitor is reviewed in this paper. All the circuits considered in this paper are floating. Previously reported non-floating circuits are modified to be floating and new floating circuits are introduced as well. The active elements used in this paper are floating conveyor building blocks ...
