This paper summarizes a principle for measurement of inner diameter or profile of pipes and tubes using optical method. Based on this principle, compact probes have been developed for industrial applications such as car industry, heavy industry and civil engineering. In addition to large probes for pipes, tubes and tank-like objects with diameter larger than 1meter, such small size probes as 5m...

Incorporation of radio controller units into heavy equipment used in the electricity industry provides numerous advantages including: improved electrical isolation between plant and operator, ability to incorporate an additional remote operator, and reductions in vehicle wiring and hydraulic hoses for equipment control. However, secure operation of vehicles and plant incorporating radio control...

Ceramic Bonding, Inc. (CBI) was founded in 1987 to develop technology for reliable, inexpensive, on-site conversion of heavy metal hazardous wastes to safe, useful materials, such as fine aggregate for construction applications. CBI’s principal mission is to provide equipment that can be used by industry to eliminate the need for costly and environmentally unwise disposal of toxics at Class I d...

Efficient syntheses of aldehydes and primary alcohols from terminal olefins are critical to the chemical laboratory and industry. Heavy emphasis has been placed on regioselective olefin functionalization in recent decades. This perspective mainly focuses on advances in the Wacker-type oxidation and tandem hydration of terminal olefins with anti-Markovnikov selectivity.

The 95 percentile billing mechanism has been an industry de facto standard for transit providers for well over a decade. While the simplicity of the scheme makes it attractive as a billing mechanism, dramatic evolution in traffic patterns, associated interconnection practices and industry structure over the last two decades motivates an obvious question: is it still appropriate? In this paper, ...

In the intensive livestock production systems, with decrease in grazing land and intensification of agriculture, the animal feeds are most likely to be contaminated with pesticides, dioxins, radionuclide, heavy metals, bacterial, fungal / mycotoxin contaminants etc., which may , market, it is the need of the hour to produce the livestock products free from contaminants. The feeds and fodders ar...

Prescriptive regulation of hours of service is the norm for control of fatigue in drivers of heavy vehicles in most developed countries. Since the initiation of prescriptive regulation, and particularly in recent years, understanding of the nature and causes of fatigue has grown. Little of this increased understanding has yet been embodied in regulatory approaches to the management of heavy veh...
