This paper deals with the development of a Jacobean model for a 4-axes indigenously developed scara robot arm in the laboratory. This model is used to study the relation between the velocities and the forces in the robot while it is doing the pick and place operation. Keywords—SCARA, Jacobean, Tool Configuration Vector, Computer Control , Visual Basic , Interfacing , Drivers,

UNLABELLED The 32-bit Windows application START is implemented using Visual Basic and C(++) and performs analyses to aid in the investigation of bacterial population structure using multilocus sequence data. These analyses include data summary, lineage assignment, and tests for recombination and selection. AVAILABILITY START is available at http://outbreak.ceid.ox.ac.uk/software.htm. CONTAC...

In a recent building simulation project, the significant effort required to calculate and enter casual gains and air flow data into the ESP-r modelling software was found to impede progress and increase the risk of error. A software tool, implemented as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet using VBA, has been developed that avoids these problems by generating the required ESP-r data files automaticall...

Measures that describe and summarize sediment grain-size distributions are important to geologists because of the large amount of information contained in textural data sets. Statistical methods are usually employed to simplify the necessary comparisons among samples and quantify the observed differences. The two statistical methods most commonly used by sedimentologists to describe particle di...

Since 1997, the rupiah currency has a tendency to change at any time since the economic crisis that hit Indonesia. One of the currencies of the most widely traded on international exchange market is the U.S. dollar. This paper will forecast the exchange rate by using back propagation neural networks. Variables that affecting currency exchange rates is inflation, gross national product and inter...

Researchers and professionals know the importance of the documentation for the efficient maintenance of legacy software. Unfortunately , many legacy systems lack this important artifact. Maintenance then becomes a difficult process where software engineers must study and understand the system over and over again. A possible solution out of this situation is to re-document the legacy system. In ...

Visual relationships capture a wide variety of interactions between pairs of objects in images (e.g. “man riding bicycle” and “man pushing bicycle”). Consequently, the set of possible relationships is extremely large and it is difficult to obtain sufficient training examples for all possible relationships. Because of this limitation, previous work on visual relationship detection has concentrat...

The present paper explains a feature recognition module and design advisor system for sheet metal components. In this system features of sheet metal components are extracted automatically from 3-D model. These data are modeled based on object oriented. The proposed system will aid the designer right at the design stage with useful design and manufacturability recommendations that have been gath...

We describe an automatic classroom capture system that detects and records significant (stable) points in lectures by sampling and analyzing a sequence of screen capture frames from a PC used for presentations, application demonstrations, etc. The system uses visual inspection techniques to scan the screen capture stream to identify points to store. Unlike systems that only detect and store sli...

We formulate and describe a visual compactification of the Teichmüller space by Weil-Petersson geodesic rays emanating from a point X. We focus on analogies with Bers’s compactification: due to non-completeness, finite rays correspond to cusps, and such cusps are dense in the visual sphere. By analogy with a result of Kerckhoff and Thurston, we show the natural action of the mapping class group...
