This paper proposes an automated method for segregating and counting the different colored pencils by non-contact method. The proposed work is carried out in LabVIEW platform based on the image processing techniques. This work consists of two parts, firstly classification of pencils and secondly counting the number of pencils. The proposed work is implemented on a conveyor running continuously,...

a canola seed pneumatic conveyor was designed and constructed to convey canola seed at a 90 g/hr mass flow rate through a 58 mm diameter pipe. physical and aerodynamic properties of the canola seed that are critical to the design process were measured. system pressure drop, comprising air pressure drop and solid pressure drop and which is the most important aspect of pneumatic conveyor design, ...

Harvesting rain-fed chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) from fallow fields in developing countries is currently a manual process performed by laborers in a tedious manner at a low level of efficiency. A tractor-pulled harvester was built in which a chain conveyor transfer harvested material. A tractor-mounted harvester was then redesigned, which incorporated a modified stripper header to detach pods...

Composable Conveyors expose fundamental new problems that must be addressed as the nation transforms its advanced manufacturing infrastructure. Unanticipated fluctuations in workloads caused by the increasingly open and interconnected advanced manufacturing systems makes it significantly challenging to appropriately configure and adapt the operating parameters of conveyor systems that are deplo...

Process improvement is a major requirement for a production manager who aims to reduce cost and achieve the target throughput. To achieve a target throughput, load balancing is commonly conducted, and resource investment is examined such as adoption of automation machine or hiring of new employee In this study, the impact of the waiting time caused by a moving conveyor is investigated based on ...

48 Abstract— There has been significant development in the circuit implementation of current conveyors as a key element because of its low voltage low power characteristics and wide dynamic operating range.The current conveyor agreements numerous benefits over the conventional Op-Amp. Unambiguously the current conveyor circuit can arrange for a higher voltage gain over a larger signal bandwidth...

The paper deals with current conveyor based design criteria for low power Miller operational transconductance amplifier. Its transconductance has been controlled by using second generation current conveyor (CCII), replacing input bias current (Ibias). Current-mode based electronics devices becoming more popular than with voltage mode. The performance is obtained through PSPICE simulations which...

Assembly tasks in flow assembly lines are usually executed using a robot that is mounted on a linear axis. In this way the robot is moved in parallel to the conveyor, such that control is almost as with a fixed object. Control without such a linear axis is more demanding as the conveyor motion has to be overlaid to the task-specific motion of the robot arm. This requires high path accuracy inst...

A new universal current mode filter circuit composed by three multi-output second generation current conveyor circuits (MOCCII), two controlled active resistances and two passive capacitors is presented. This filter can realize all the five standard filter functions, namely low pass, band pass, high pass, notch and all pass, without changing the circuit topology. TSPICE simulation using 0.18 μm...

Coal mine belt conveyor can guarantee the coal mine production stable and efficient. On how to effectively predict abnormal accident occurrence time, this paper puts forward a method to predict the abnormal accident occurrence time based on Hidden Markov Model and Hidden Semi-Markov Model. Large amount of time series is collected through belt conveyor protection sensors. The corresponding HMM o...
