Low-Cost Automatic Coffee Bean Classifier

One key issues regarding coffee production is the bean selection process, which is a tedious task that nowadays is often manually done. Since traditional selection techniques are based on size and density, most of them do not consider faded, mottled, and blotchy beans. However, beans with these characteristics should be discarded because they affect coffee quality.

Mechanism To Eliminate Or Minimize The Effect Of Aerodynamic Forces On Buildings Or Other Objects Subject To Airflow

Problem:

Every object in an environment is subject to air flow and so subject to the aerodynamic forces like drag, lift. Objects should be designed properly to bear these forces and their effects easily by using aerodynamics, streamlining principles.

But tall objects have some limitations:

1. These objects like towers, chimneys cover more surrounding space because of their supports.

MWCNT Based Nanocomposite For Spinning Rings

In ring-yarn-spinning, the ring and traveler combination is the limiting factor for the maximum spindle speed.

The important factors in the design of ring-traveller are (1) the traveller stability during its high speed rotation while being clipped onto the ring flange and (2) the space for yarn passage between ring and traveller.
