Automatic visual inspection is an arising field of research. Especially in security relevant applications, an automation of the inspection process would be a great benefit. For wire ropes, a first step is the acquisition of the curved surface with several cameras located all around the rope. Because most of the visible defects in such a rope are very inconspicuous, an automatic defect detection...

As fundamental research for human-robot interaction, this paper addresses the rhythmic reference of a human while turning a rope with another human. We hypothyzed that when interpreting rhythm cues to make a rhythm reference, humans will use auditory and force rhythms more than visual ones. We examined 21-23 years old test subjects. We masked perception of each test subject using 3 kinds of mas...

Order Preserving Encryption (OPE) schemes have been examined to a great extent in the cryptography literature because of their prospective application to database design. OPE is an appealing method for database encryption as it permits to execute sort and range queries in an efficient manner without decrypting the data. Databases such as CryptDB are beginning to employ encryption to guard sensi...

Magnetic clouds are a subset of interplanetary coronal mass ejections characterized by a smooth rotation in the magnetic field direction, which is interpreted as a signature of a magnetic flux rope. Suprathermal electron observations indicate that one or both ends of a magnetic cloud typically remain connected to the Sun as it moves out through the heliosphere. With distance from the axis of th...

Automatic visual surface inspection is a challenging task, which has become important for quality assurance in the last years. Wire rope inspection is a special problem within this field. Usually, the huge and heavy ropes cannot be detached. Thus, an inspection of the ropes must be conducted, while the ropes are in use. The rope surface exhibits various appearance characteristics so that the ex...

coordination, body and limb designs are related to the environmental objects and events. the aim of this study was to investigate the necessity to implement rope jumping program in iran schools and since one of the major problems in learning how to write is eye–hand coordination, the effect of a rope jumping training course on eye–hand coordination was investigated in the fourth grade elementar...

The propagation of elastic waves along composite wire rope is considered. The rope is modeled as co-axial layers of cylindrically anisotropic material. Simple kinematical assumptions lead to a ‘‘rod theory’’ for the wire rope, consisting of three coupled onedimensional wave equations. Solutions of these equations are found. Results for a particular aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) con...

The behavior of rope-guided conveyances is so complicated that the rope-guided hoisting system hasn't been understood thoroughly so far. In this paper, with user-defined functions loaded, ANSYS FLUENT 14.5 was employed to simulate lateral motion of rope-guided conveyances in two typical kinds of shaft layouts. With rope-guided mine elevator and mine cages taken into account, results show that t...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a dance music jump rope exercise on changes Pulmonary Function and body mass index in female overweight subjects in their 20's. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were randomly assigned to the dance music jump rope exercise group and the stationary cycle exercise group. All subjects have conducted the exercises three times a week...
