Vision is a flexible, non-contact sensor that can be used for position feedback in
closed-loop control of dynamic systems. Current vision systems for industrial
automation provide low sample rates and large sample delays relative to other types of
position sensors. Poor sample rates and sample delays are a result of...
Genetic stability of micropropagated and cold-stored Fragaria x anannasa cultivar
'Pocahontas' was evaluated by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay.
Plantlets grown for eight months on M & S medium with 5 μM and 15 μM N6-
benzyladenine (BA) were analyzed. No evidence of mutations was seen in over 200...
A computer program, SAW3DG, was developed to optimize log breakdown
using 3-dimensional log and internal defect shapes. The program was based on
SAW3D, a log breakdown optimization program considering only 3-dimensional log
shape. SAW3D was modified to include internal log defects in 3-dimensional
representation and integrated with SLGRADER, an expert...
