The mixtures, grains, and residues in the ratooning rice harvesting machine need to be conveyed forward, backward, upward, downward. Due such operations, often accumulation blockage take place at intersection of a horizontal-vertical screw conveyor, resulting low efficiency, high power consumption, even grain damage. In this study, CFD-DEM approach was applied address above problems. Firstly, p...

In previous work, we have proposed a dynamic, interactive system for conveying visual information via hearing and touch. The system is implemented with a touch screen that allows the user to interrogate a two-dimensional (2-D) object layout by active finger scanning while listening to spatialized auditory feedback. Sound is used as the primary source of information for object localization and i...

The chapter analyzes the system of focus-sensitive particles in Vietnamese. EVEN/ ALSO/ONLY foci are discussed across syntactic categories, and Vietnamese is found to organize its system of focus-sensitive particles along three dimensions of classification: (i) EVEN vs. ALSO vs. ONLY; (ii) particles c-commanding foci vs. particles c-commanding backgrounds; (iii) adverbial focus-sensitive partic...

In this study, the degradation of wood pellets and dry roasted coffee beans in a pneumatic conveyor was evaluated for high-speed impacts. The change particle size generation fine particles were used as an indicating parameter degradation. A four-bends industrial scale conveying system study lean phase conveying. effects operating parameters on investigated, including velocity concentration. exp...

This paper provides an overview of existing technologies to measure flow parameters, such as material velocity and material concentration, in industrial transportation processes of particulate and powdery solids with a focus on pneumatic conveying. Restrictions, advantages and drawbacks of state of the art measurement principles are discussed. We show that capacitance-based sensing with suitabl...

A major part of politics is the conveying of ideas. This is the function of political communication. Of the multitude of ways this conveying can take place, deliberation in a public sphere is one that Habermas (1994) termed optimal. Both public spheres and deliberative democracy presuppose an equality of all participants in a debate and the superiority of good arguments. Presently, both feature...

A numerical prediction for axial and swirling gas-solid flows in a vertical pipe was carried out with an Eulerian approach for the gas and a stochastic Lagrangian approach for particles, where particle-particle and particle-wall collisions were taken into consideration. The kε turbulence model was used to characterize the time and length scales of the gas-phase turbulence. Models predicting the...

This paper proposes a method for conveying emotions in face-toface communication by superimposing comic book images on real world using augmented reality technology. We implemented a system named “Intra-expo” that superimposes comic book images which influence our estimation of emotional state around the user. In order to build the system, we analyzed how subjects estimated the emotional state ...
