In this paper, problems and application of the computation of false alarm rate (FAR) and threshold for belt conveyor systems are studied. Based on an information system which is developed to meet the requirements on monitoring and fault detection for large scale belt conveyor systems, the probability distribution of model uncertainty is assumed to be known and will be taken into account for the...

The flow which constitutes the conveyor belt in the Hamburg large-scale geostrophic ocean general circulation model has been investigated with the help of a particle tracking method. In the region of North Atlantic Deep Water formation a thousand trajectories were calculated backward in time to the point where they upwell from the deep ocean. Both the three-dimensional velocity field and convec...

Now a day’s Belt conveyor system not only used in mining industries but also applied in cement industries, power plant, food industries, production industries etc. So it is essential equipment for in house material transportation today. The paper presents the review of belt conveyor design modification and latest technologies or methodologies used in different applications to reduce failures, m...

As electricity prices continue to rise, the increasing need for energy management requires better understanding of models for energy-consuming applications, such as conveyor belts. Conveyor belts are used in a wide range of industries, including power generation, mining and mineral processing. Conveyor technological advances are leading to increasingly long conveyor belts being commissioned. Th...

In this paper, a solution is presented for a robotic manipulation problem in industrial settings. The problem is sensing objects on a conveyor belt, identifying the target, planning and tracking an interception trajectory between end effector and the target. Such a problem could be formulated as combining object recognition, tracking and interception. For this purpose, we integrated a vision sy...

Composites of wind speeds, equivalent potential temperature, mean sea level pressure, vertical velocity, and relative humidity have been produced for the 100 most intense extratropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere winter for the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40) and the high resolution global environment model (HiGEM). Features of conceptual models of cyclone structure—the warm conveyor b...

In poultry industry, cross-contamination due to processing equipment and contact surfaces is very common. This study examined the extent of bacterial attachment to 6 different types and design of conveyor belts: stainless steel-single loop, stainless steel-balance weave, polyurethane with mono-polyester fabric, acetal, polypropylene mesh top, and polypropylene. Clean conveyor belts were immerse...

In recent years, conveyor belt transport systems have taken on a new significance due to numerous research studies on innovative design solutions. The application of these new developed solutions leads to considerable reduction in operational costs of transport systems, while ensuring their high reliability and service life at the same time. Nonetheless, there are still areas that pose challeng...

The synaptic ribbon in neurons that release transmitter via graded potentials has been considered as a conveyor belt that actively moves vesicles toward their release sites. But evidence has accumulated to the contrary, and it now seems plausible that the ribbon serves instead as a safety belt to tether vesicles stably in mutual contact and thus facilitate multivesicular release by compound exo...

Large, outdoor Belt Conveyor Systems for bulk materials are major sources of industrial noise and frequently become an environmental emissions issue for many existing and proposed plants. Deficiencies in the industry’s understanding of the complex, underlying conveyor noise generating mechanisms has meant there are relatively few practical and cost-effective noise management strategies. On the ...
