In this paper, we present the ZenRobotics Recycler, a system that sorts construction and demolition (CND) waste by picking valuable objects from a conveyor belt using robotic hands. It is the first CND recycling system that reaches a useful purity of wood, stone, and metal without resorting to human sorters. We describe how we applied machine learning to solve some of the key problems such as r...

Production waste recovery has economic and environmental benefits but carbon quotas limit it. To avoid future high-cost technologies, we present an example of Starkelberg model between a recycler manufacturer, focusing on recycling exhaust gases containing metal elements from production waste. From the perspective recycler, this paper outlines process recycling, processing, sales, highlighting ...

The collection of recyclables is a widespread activity among urban poor, particularly in countries with large socio-economic disparities. The health of recyclers is at risk because of unsafe working conditions, socio-economic exclusion, and stigmatization. Our study focuses on health problems and occupational risks of informal recyclers (in Brazil known as catadores). In 2005 we conducted an in...

+ Email:[email protected] * Operated by University Research Association under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy. The Fermilab Recycler Ring is being built at Fermilab to support the Run-II and beyond physics goals of Fermilab. The role of the Recycler Ring is to provide more antiprotons for the Tevatron, which proportionally increases the luminosity. This paper will describe the Recycle...

Motivation Plasmids and other mobile elements are central contributors to microbial evolution and genome innovation. Recently, they have been found to have important roles in antibiotic resistance and in affecting production of metabolites used in industrial and agricultural applications. However, their characterization through deep sequencing remains challenging, in spite of rapid drops in cos...

Various classes of persistent halogenated compounds (PHCs) can be released into the environment due to improper handling and disposal of electronic waste (e-waste), which creates severe environmental problems and poses hazards to human health as well. In this review, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), polybrominated phenols (P...

This conference paper presents a series of electron cloud measurements in the Fermilab Main Injector and Recycler. A new instability was observed in the Recycler in July 2014 that generates a fast transverse excitation in the first high intensity batch to be injected. Microwave measurements of electron cloud in the Recycler show a corresponding dependence on the batch injection pattern. These e...

It is not unusual to place multiple accelerators in a common enclosure to save on civil construction costs. This often complicates operations, especially if accelerators are affecting each other. At Fermilab, the influence of a rapidly cycling Main Injector (MI) synchrotron on an antiproton storage ring (Recycler), placed in a common tunnel, was initially found to be unacceptable for a reliable...

The Organic Bin Recycler machine is designed on a small scale to be placed in the kitchen and functions as special trash can for organic waste. design of this aims reduce problems related disposal food waste waste, environmental pollution, produce compost. Composting done by adding bioactivator. carried out with catia v5 software accordance calculations that have been done. has two main compone...
