This paper presents a novel interface for 3D modeling in augmented reality, aiming at developing a form gradually in the early phase of a product design process. Previous VR/AR based modeling systems have focused largely on geometrical algorithms and system performance issues. From a designers’ perspective, this study analyzed the conventional form creating processes and developed a more intuit...

The image of thermal spray splats is difficult to collect due to its high velocity of droplets. Especial in High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) process, the process present higher velocity of flame jet correlated to other thermal spray process. The system presents at this article describes a useful splats catching method to obtaining splats during thermal spray deposited. Capabilities and advantages ...

In this paper we describe an experimental rig which has been built as a result of inspiration from the bombardier beetle. This beetle is such that it has the capacity to fire a spray of hot water, steam and noxious chemicals from a nozzle at the rear end of its abdomen in any direction it wishes (even over its head). An example of controlled combustion in nature, it has led to first to simulati...

The automation of painting process in shipbuilding is arisen as vital issue because of the insufficiency of painting workers and frequent quality claims. The increase of the painting quality is the main achievement made by the automation of the painting process. In order to maintain the good painting quality, even though the spray depth, angle and velocity are considered principally, measuring ...

Spray drift is one of the main sources of pesticide contamination. For this reason, an accurate understanding of this phenomenon is necessary in order to limit its effects. Nowadays, spray drift is usually studied by using in situ collectors which only allow time-integrated sampling of specific points of the pesticide clouds. Previous research has demonstrated that the light detection and rangi...

The statistical behavior of droplets in a kerosene pressure-atomized spray was investigated under swirling and burning conditions. This case was studied in order to better understand individual droplet transport processes downstream of the fuel spray flame. A two-component phase-Doppler particle sizing system was employed to provide information on the droplet size and velocity distributions as ...

This prospective randomized case controlled study was conducted to determine the efficacy of antihistamine (azelastine) nasal spray and compare it to steroid (beclomethasone) nasal spray on the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Seventy five symptomatic patients of allergic rhinitis were included in this study. Diagnosis was made on the basis of history and physical examination. The patients were d...

Runoff and spray drift are important sources of nonpoint pesticide pollution in surface waters, but few studies have directly compared these routes of input in an exposure assessment scenario. To this end, a runoff formula suggested by the Organization for Economic and Cooperative Development (Paris, France) and basic drift values (95th percentiles) were integrated into a geographical informati...
