Experts forecast that globalization and open economy will be the characteristic of the 21 century. Industry in developing countries must be well prepared and competitive in order to have a vital role. These countries will not be able to access global markets unless they procure the needed technology to manufacture high quality, up to the standard products. Automated visual inspection is one of ...

Recent modeling of filopodia--the actin-based cell organelles employed for sensing and motility--reveals that one of the key limiting factors of filopodial length is diffusional transport of G-actin monomers to the polymerizing barbed ends. We have explored the possibility of active transport of G-actin by myosin motors, which would be an expected biological response to overcome the limitation ...

Abstract This paper presents a block-chain enabled inkjet-printed ultrahigh frequency radiofrequency identification (UHF RFID) system for the supply chain management, traceability and authentication of hard to tag bottled consumer products containing fluids such as water, oil, juice, wine. In this context, we propose novel low-cost, compact UHF RFID antenna design liquid bottles, with 2.5 m rea...

Machine vision is today a well-established technology in industry where especially conveyer belt applications are successful. A related application area is the situation where a number of objects are located in a bin and each has to be picked from the bin. This problem is known as the automatic bin-picking problem and has a huge market potential due to the countless situations where bin-picking...

The equipment in underground mines provides a continuous production flow, depending on the way their quality is preserved during operation. TR-7A scraper conveyer subassemblies, which function Jiu Valley coal basin and are subjected to abrasion wear, showed high failure frequency (chains, chain elevators, driving turning drums), as well hydraulic couplings certain electric of same machinery. da...
