Teach pendant is the most widely used means of robot teaching at present. Despite the difficulties of using the motion command buttons on the teach pendant, it is an economical, robust, and effective device for robot teaching task. This paper presents the development of a force/moment direction sensor named COSMO that can improve the teach pendant based robot teaching. Robot teaching experiment...

A new algorithm for ship wake detection is developed with the aim of ship heading and velocity estimation. It exploits the Radon transform and utilizes merit indexes in the intensity domain to validate the detected linear features as real components of the ship wake. Finally, ship velocity is estimated by state-of-the-art techniques of azimuth shift and Kelvin arm wavelength. The algorithm is a...

cosmo-theological argument is one of the theological arguments for [proving] the existence of god, which has been mooted since long ago and has recently been recognized in the theo-philosophical tradition of the west and become famous as theological argument. while examining the viewpoints related to the appearance of the world, particularly the big bang theory, this article undertakes to analy...

The technology for numerical air pollution prediction operating in the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia is based on calculations with CHIMERE and COSMO-ART chemical transport models (CTMs) a grid horizontal step 2.2 km using EMEP inventory data atmospheric emissions updated 2013 meteorological COSMO-Ru2 atmosphere model. paper presents results testing model forecasts pollutant (NO2, CO, PM1...

A Mw 7.1 earthquake struck the Eastern Anatolia, near the city of Van (Turkey), on 23 October 2011. We investigated the coseismic surface displacements using the InSAR technique, exploiting adjacent ENVISAT tracks and COSMO-SkyMed images. Multi aperture interferometry was also applied, measuring ground displacements in the azimuth direction. We solved for the fault geometry and mechanism, and w...

In this paper we study the likelihood that digital forensic evidential traces could be corrupted or otherwise compromised by extra-terrestrial physical processes and their epiphenomena. Specifically, we consider cosmic rays with solar, galactic and extragalactic origins. The potential of such cosmic rays or radiation to alter the individual bits of current memory devices (hard disc ferromagneti...
