a canola seed pneumatic conveyor was designed and constructed to convey canola seed at a 90 g/hr mass flow rate through a 58 mm diameter pipe. physical and aerodynamic properties of the canola seed that are critical to the design process were measured. system pressure drop, comprising air pressure drop and solid pressure drop and which is the most important aspect of pneumatic conveyor design, ...

This paper proposes the Parallel WiSARD Object Tracker (PWOT), a new object tracker based on the WiSARD weightless neural network that is robust against quantization errors. Object tracking in video is an important and challenging task in many applications. Difficulties can arise due to weather conditions, target trajectory and appearance, occlusions, lighting conditions and noise. Tracking is ...

Efficient image sequence coding exploits both intraand inter-frame correlations. SPIHT is efficient in intra-frame decorrelation for still images. Based on SPIHT, differential-SPIHT removes inter-frame redundancy by re-using the significance map of a SPIHT coded frame. The motion differential SPIHT (MD-SPIHT) automatically decides the coding methods for each frame, according to the inter-frame ...

A (K1,3, λ)-frame of type g u is a K1,3-decomposition of a complete upartite graph with u parts of size g into partial parallel classes each of which is a partition of the vertex set except for those vertices in one of the u parts. In this paper, we completely solve the existence of a (K1,3, λ)-frame of type g .
