With the rapid development of imaging technology, many methods have been proposed to assist in the management and monitoring of cultural heritage through imaging technology. Most imaging monitoring systems rely on fixed-angle image processing, which significantly increases costs. To address this issue, this paper proposes a monocular camera pose estimation and calibration system.
This is a Collaborative Robotic Arm Used as Assistant in an Electronic Workshop And Controlled by Voice Commands and Capsense Technology. Using a robotic arm as a third arm can be a very good idea in difficult cases in an electronic workshop. Here I am showing three versions of my project,
Healthcare authorities worldwide endorse preventive sealants on newly erupted teeth of children. Sealants are often thin photosensitive flowable resins placed as a layer over select chewing surfaces of natural and healthy back teeth. Once exposed to an appropriate light illumination source for approximately 20 seconds,
There are a huge number of commercial vehicles on the road that still use pneumatic drum brakes. When such vehicles are in use, the brakes must be inspected at a minimum every morning before the first road trip. This is a dangerous process, and in fact may be difficult to perform, due to weather conditions, surface conditions,
A novel control law prevents sinusoidal free response ringing caused by energization transients in an underdamped dynamic system. Designs need no longer endure deleterious ringing. Vintage control law techniques or computerized trial-and-error only partially suppresses ringing. In complete contrast,
Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) can be disabling, persistent, debilitating, depressing, and very expensive as it affects 1/5 of all women and 12th of men, and comes with a combined overall estimated cost burden of over $289B.
Solar panels with strong light transmission may be widely employed, particularly in agriculture, construction, and the energy industry. During the day, the solar panel on the greenhouse's roof produces electricity while also providing shade. A 16m long by 6.25m broad greenhouse roof requires 16 solar panels made of a 2m sq panel; these panels may provide 5kW of electricity,
The Nanolightning-BioEnd product grew out of the J&R Project to reproduce and improve on a well-established (for military applications) antimicrobial self-sustaining dynamic process. The material includes polymer coating paramagnetic iron nanoparticles embedded in epoxy attached to transparent polystyrene.
In recent times, numerous cases of death caused by asphyxiation among well cleaners have been reported, The safety of employees is of utmost concern in homes and workplaces where wells and small spaces are common. so, I have made a solution called "Well Cleaners Early Warning System" or "Well Cleaners EWS.
1) The idea conceptualizes a smart canvas that enables a manufacturing solution architect to design an optimum new product through regenerative process keeping a balanced view of market potential, sustainability, in house capacity utilization and provides a real time estimate of overall cost to do a feasibility study.
