 The main purpose of the paper is to present the new convenient, reliable and affordable possibilities of the Internet to use software as a service for the solution of complex measurement problems in quality control. The focal point is directed on innovative vision sensor systems for fast, contactless and non-destructive measurements of dimensions and colours. For these systems new developed i...

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a ground breaking membrane based technology to purify water by separating the dissolved solids from feed stream resulting in permeate and reject stream for a wide arena of applications in domestic , industrial and wide array of applications. Reverse osmosis or other membrane separation processes has an innovative vision which is extremely targeted towards environmental p...

The vision of Home Environment is changing towards living interaction space populated of interconnected devices, services that encapsulate the functionality, and multiple interfaces through which the user can interact with these devices, in accordance with vision of ubiquitous computing. This paper presents a pervasive services platform for ubiquitous spaces based on distributed architecture P2...

The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between family involvement and innovative capability in Chinese small-medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Although previous studies based on behavior agency model have investigated how financial factors could influence capability, there a dearth with an emphasis impact non-financial factors. Notably, moderating role played by firms’ human...

This paper presents a European integrated project in the domain of innovative hybrid assembly the combination of self-assembly and robotics. Robotics allows for high precision and flexibility with full control of the assembly process. Self-assembly, on the other hand, offers massively parallel, unsupervised processing and thus provides high throughputs that cannot be reached with simple robotic...

In the last decade the Indian auto industry has shown increasing levels of technological sophistication and significant growth. The Indian auto industry consists of local firms with indigenous design and development capability, well established global brands and has marketing presence in Indian as well as other emerging markets. This paper tracks capability development in the Indian auto indust...

Human-computer interaction (HCI), especially in the games domain, targets to mimic as much as possible the natural human-to-human interaction, which is multimodal, involving speech, vision, haptic, etc. Furthermore, the domain of serious games, aiming to value-added games, makes use of additional inputs, such as biosensors, motion tracking equipment, etc. In this context, game development has b...

The rhino mouse, a single gene recessive mutation, is characterized by abnormal epidermal differentiation and maturation leading to the loss of hair at 1 month of age as well as follicular and epidermal hyperkeratoses. We evaluated the lids and corneas of nine rhino mice and their normal litter mates at various ages from 3 months to 1 year. Tissue specimens were studied by light microscopy, sca...
