Rapid and timely acquisition of the crushing rate can help in assessing performance combine harvesters, which is very important for agricultural production. The spectral reflectance soybean provides an alternative method to classical physical chemical analysis laboratory. Therefore, hyperspectral imaging be used rapidly obtain soybean. In this study, was employed, application inter-correlation ...

Agricultural production is characterized by the seasonality of technological operations, ability to carry out which in a strictly set time depends on many factors external environment and reliability agricultural machinery. The harvest grain other crops combines occupies special place among field works. Operative carrying these works without down grain-harvesting techniques provides minimum los...

In agricultural harvesting processes, the infield logistics of transporting the crop from the harvesters' tanks to a street transporter at the field border with an unloading vehicle is challenging. The harvesters have to be unloaded while driving and in time to prevent the loss of expensive process time. The path planning for the unloading vehicle has to consider the unharvested area as a dynam...

The data presented in this article is in relation to the research article "Vibration energy harvesting based monitoring of an operational bridge undergoing forced vibration and train passage" Cahill et al. (2018) [1]. The article provides data on the full-scale bridge testing using piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters on Pershagen Bridge, Sweden. The bridge is actively excited via a swept ...

This paper reports the fabrication and characterization of fully-integrated, fully-batch-microfabricated electromagnetic vibrational energy harvesters. The 4 – 15 mm structures utilize embedded NdFeB powder micromagnet technology, and represent some of the smallest magnetic energy harvesters demonstrated to date. Of three different designs, the best performing demonstrated 13.2 μVrms at the dev...

Recent portable electronic devices have strict requirements regarding size, weight, and power. The power needed directly impacts the size of the required batteries, and larger batteries compromise the sizes and weights of portable devices. In order to design successful portable devices that maximize power and minimize size, devices should be operated in lowpower-consuming or self-powered mode. ...

The paper introduces the notion of “entropy harvesting” in physical and biological systems. Various physical and natural systems demonstrate the ability to decrease entropy under external stimuli. These systems, including stretched synthetic polymers, muscles, osmotic membranes and suspensions containing small hydrophobic particles, are called “entropic harvesters”. Entropic force acting in the...

Total Allowable Catch (TAC)-regulating schemes have been introduced in most fisheries. TAC distribution following the Proportional Rule, based on historical catches, implies that harvesters or vessel groups that have captured more in the past and contributed to overfishing are getting larger quotas than groups that have contributed less to overfishing. In contrast to this rule, a more egalitari...

This paper presents results from experiments performed with the COMBINE Interworking Unit, showing that good TCP performance is possible with the shaper size dimensioned to 2000 cells. The shaper itself had been dimensioned using a Poissonian packet arrival model, assuming that the notorious burstiness of data traffic was a problem for higher layer congestion control. These results verify the v...
