The implementation of a virtual-lab for testing designs of drum-type washing machines is discussed. It is applied to the analysis of an industrial washing machine (120 Kg load capacity) manufactured by Fagor Industrial. The virtual-lab has been completely programmed using Modelica language. The washing machine dynamic model has been developed using MultiBody Modelica library. The interactive vi...

The main focus of this work was to design, develop and implementation of competitively robot arm with enhanced control and stumpy cost. To control the robot we used Lab view, which performs inverse kinematic calculations and communicates the proper angles serially to a microcontroller that drives the servo motors with the capability of modifying position, speed and acceleration.

We discuss the properties of cosmic ray nuclearites, from the point of view of their search with large nuclear track detector arrays exposed at different altitudes, in particular with the SLIM experiment at the Chacaltaya high altitude lab (5290 m a.s.l.). We present calculations concerning their propagation in the Earth atmosphere and discuss their possible detection with CR39 and Makrofol nuc...

Desktop applications for managing dental laboratories operation are available; however, these applications are not sufficient. Many information need to be shared between dentists, assistant, laboratory technicians and others. With the development of the Internet technology, there is a need for an effective web application to manage such operation and to control accessing this shared information...

Erroneous computer entry problems [here: ‘e-errors] in hospital labs threaten the patients’–health carers’ relationship, undermining the health system credibility. Are e-errors random, and do lab professionals make them accidentally, or may they be traced through meaningful determinants? Theories on internal causality of mistakes compel to seek specific causal ascriptions of hospital lab eerror...

This chapter introduces techniques for the capture and efficient display of dynamic three-dimensional non-stationary gas flows. We describe a flexible Schlieren-tomographic system consisting of multiple consumer camcorders. A special choice of background pattern for Background Oriented Schlieren (BOS) imaging provides for flexibility in the experimental setup. Optical flow techniques are used t...

Development of the blended learning module integrating remote laboratory experiments into Moodle learning environment for an engineering master course in DSP, is described in this paper. New Moodle block called Remote Lab View (RLV) is created allowing remote experiments time scheduling as well as synchronous chat session available for teacher present in the laboratory and for students who acce...

Optimization of the cereals drying operation requires a model containing the operating variables for dryers. Modeling of grain dryer is still uncertain since the drying process is unpredictable and relies on empirical parameters. The paper present the main mathematical models proposed in the last years for describing the drying phenomena. The main objective is to develop a model that would desc...
