It is difficult for consumers to judge whether a painting or poster would fit well in their rooms without actually mounting the painting on the wall. A solution is proposed to allow users to their DROID mobile phones to preview what the painting looks like on the wall using the phone’s camera and its screen. The system is a marker-based, augmented-reality system that can place paintings on wall...

The paper reports results on the automation of the spray-painting process in industrial powder coating plants. The automation of the spray-painting process requires a painting model and the definition of appropriate metrics for painting task validation. Two main topics are addressed in the paper: motion planning of paint deposition and paint quality analysis. A paint quality function is formula...

Improving the performance of building envelope is essential to energy conservation and emission reduction. Adaptive (ABE) has potential effectively reduce consumption at a lower cost. Movable window insulation an instantiation ABE with great application in buildings, but it not been systematically studied. Trying fill this gap, paper proposes automatic control system manual rule for movable ins...

Aim: To assess the effect of surface finish and acidic beverage (cola beverage) on hardness fracture toughness zirconia lithium silicate (Celtra press)Methodology: Total n=36 samples reinforced press) plates were divided into two main groups (n=18 glazed n=18 polished samples) then each group was subdivided equal according to immersion solution (artificial saliva & cola beverage). Surface factu...

objective: the objective of this study was to compare the tensile bond strength of metal brackets bonding to glazed ceramic surfaces using three various surface treatments. materials and methods: forty two glazed ceramic disks were assigned to three groups. in the first and second groups the specimens were etched with 9.5% hydrofluoric acid (hfa). subsequently in first group, ceramic primer and...

In this paper,we investigate the problemof scheduling a 6DOF robotic arm to carry out a sequence of spray painting tasks. The duration of any given painting task is process dependent and fixed, but the duration of an ‘‘intertask’’, corresponding to the process of relocating and reorienting the robot arm from one painting task to the next one, is influenced by the order of tasks andmust be minim...

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the influence of neglect and the effect of Prism Adaptation (PA) combined with continuous Theta-Burst Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (cTBS) on the art constructive errors of painting rehabilitation of stroke patients with neglect. Methods: Fourteen patients with neglect and art constructive errors of painting secondary to stroke were randomly as...

EDITOR—In the October 2000 issue of the journal, five new cases of unbalanced translocations with partial monosomy 4p and partial trisomy 8p were described by Wieczorek et al and the authors concluded that de novo translocations causing Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) are more frequent than previously estimated. In particular, unbalanced de novo translocations involving the short arms of chromos...
