Diameter pipe.robot, called the Multifunctional Robot for IN-pipe inSPECTion. In-pipe robots, which have a long history of development in robotics, can be.This paper describes a mobile feeder pipe inspection robot that can minimize the irradiation dose to human workers by automating the measurement process.Recently, many pipe inspection robot systems have been developed. Initially, development ...

Arc-shaped forceps are important in pharyngeal cancer surgery, endoscopic sinus surgery, and single port surgery. Rotating the gripper of an arc-shaped forceps with respect to its shaft axis can improve the manipulability of the forceps. Concentric pipe structures consisting of inner and outer pipes are often used for this purpose. The inner pipe transmits rotations from its proximal end to dis...

The functioning of the first type, the flue or labial pipe, was already investigated within previous extensive research projects. The second pipe type, the reed pipe, is less often installed in pipe organs, and only little research was done in this field so far. This is why this pipe type is now the focus of research of the working group ‚Musical Acoustics ‘ at the Fraunhofer Institute for Buil...

*Prepared in the Program Division, B u reau of Employment Security. D U R I N G 1946, employers subject to State unemployment insurance laws were taxed at an estimated average rate of 1.4 percent of taxable pay rolls (table l ) 1 —the lowest average rate since the first year of the program (1936) when the Federal tax rate was only 1 percent. The 1.4percent revenue rate is expected to yield $828...

The restriction of Pipe, a potential glycosaminoglycan-modifying enzyme, to ventral follicle cells of the egg chamber is essential for dorsoventral axis formation in the Drosophila embryo. pipe repression depends on the TGFalpha-like ligand Gurken, which activates the Drosophila EGF receptor in dorsal follicle cells. An analysis of Raf mutant clones shows that EGF signalling is required cell-au...

Several literatures presented automated systems for detecting or classifying sewer pipe defects based on morphological features of pipe defects. In those automated systems, however, the morphologies of the darker center or some uncertain objects on CCTV images are also segmented and become noises while morphology-based pipe defect segmentation is implemented. In this paper, the morphology-based...

CRA-lined pipelines, i.e. pipes with an inner pipe of a corrosion resistant alloy inside of a ferritic steel pipe carrying the hoop stress, pose a challenge to inspect with conventional in-line inspection technologies. Existing UT technology is not able to inspect through the interface of a CRA and a ferritic steel component. Additionally, current MFL technology is not able to sufficiently magn...
