This paper addresses the challenge of reading low contrast text on tyre sidewall images vehicles in motion. It presents first its kind, a full scale industrial system which can read codes when installed along driveways such as at gas stations or parking lots with driving under 10 mph. Tyre circularity is detected using circular Hough transform dynamic radius detection. The arches are then unwar...

The paper presents a static lateral stability of sub-compact tractor MT8-070 Mini in relation to safe operation. Axle weight distribution the was measured calculate vertical and longitudinal coordinates centre gravity (COG). Experiments were aimed at equipped with no four levels rear wheel ballast weights (30.5, 61, 91.5 122 kg) standard extended overall width on tyres. A overturning angle calc...

This paper describes a simulation design procedure aimed to achieve improved performance of the vehicle semi-active suspension. The issues related to the design of vehicle models with skyhook control are discussed. Three basic models with linear parameters are explained: quarter-, halfand full-car. The road profile is generated from a spatial power spectral density (PSD) to represent a typical ...

endoscopic radial artery harvesting (erah) is a feasible and attractive minimally invasive approach for conduit procurement, however there have been concerns about a potential neurological damage occurring at the harvest limb site secondary to injury of the radial nerve during endoscopic harvesting. we present a case of erah in which we evaluated intraoperatively the characteristics of radial n...
