Nowadays, developed and applied hydrology become very important thing in the life due to the wide verity advantages for the applications of this field. Hydraulic Structures such as crump weir are placed in channels to estimate or measure flow rate and flow control devices. In this study there is a new performance for crump weir which appears by adding opening holes in the model  of crump weir. ...

For efficient use of water, accurate measurement of flow in (field/laboratory) channels is required for many water resource projects. The present work is aimed to study the flow characteristics of a twin plate weir (two sharp-crested plates are placed one behind the other at some distance) under free and submerged flow conditions. Experiments are performed with four spacing of the twin plate we...

Thermoplastic use as labyrinth seals in rotating equipment is continuing to gain acceptance in the process industries. Presented in this paper is a discussion on thermoplastic use as a labyrinth seal material in centrifugal process compressors. Labyrinths made from engineering thermoplastics are used to improve efficiency, reliability, and installation time. An introduction to the polymer mater...

The paper presents an algorithm for planning the path of a mobile robot in a labyrinth. The algorithm uses an image, obtained by a camera. The algorithm processes the image to convert it into a matrix, presenting the labyrinth with obstacles and walls. Afterwards the algorithm finds the shortest path to a final target in the labyrinth. As opposed to the classical Dijkstra’s algorithm, the prese...

In this paper an artificial vision system for the analysis of the trajectory of an object is presented, which allows to solve a robotic labyrinth analyzing the routes of a moving object in the space. The prototype consists of a labyrinth with a unique solution at the center, so that regardless the position where a mobile object is placed, it is recognized and mapped to a coordinate system. Depe...

1. A new concept of endolymph flow in the vertebrate vestibular system is presented. This approach describes quantitatively the flow in the entire system of three semicircular ducts interconnected by the utriculus and the crus commune. This approach is quite distinct from the classical theory in which the labyrinth is generally conceived to consist of three separate duct circuits. 2. The presen...
