Principle and applications of retroreflective vision sensing for discrete part-presentation

For flexible manufacturing of short production runs where a large variety of product sizes, component types, and surface reflectance characteristics are encountered, it is desirable to build flexible computer-controlled systems for feeding parts into machine tools or assembly processes that combine maximum flexibility and reliability with minimum cost and cycle-time. This is not a general bin-picking problem; the parts are assumed to be propositioned approximately in totes/pallets/kits with regularly spaced locations. This article presents a machine vision technique based on the principle of retroreflective vision sensing for part-presentation. Since retroreflective material has a distinctive surface reflectance that is not commonly found in natural or man-made objects, the use of retroreflective surfaces enables reliable high object-to-background contrast images to be obtained for a wide variety of objects. Unlike conventional machine vision techniques, which rely on the variance of the surface reflectance of the objects to generate detailed images, retroreflective vision sensing aims at generating a reliable two-dimensional digital object silhouettes so that the location and orientation of the part can be reliably determined. Two application examples, machine loading and assembly, are illustrated.

Driver detection and recognition of lineside signals and signs at different approach speeds

A study was carried out using simulation to investigate driver responses to lineside signals and signs at various approach speeds. The objectives of the study were: (1) to find out whether train speed would significantly affect signal/sign reading; (2) to examine at which point certain types of signs or signals could be detected or recognised, and (3) to determine a speed cut-off level above which certain types of signs or signals are no longer recognisable or detectable. Fifty-seven train drivers from 12 Train Operating Companies in the UK participated in the trials. Twenty different types of lineside signs and ten types of signals were tested under six different approach speeds ranging from 100 to 350 km/h (62–218 mph). Driver performance measures were ‘time remaining to the signal/sign’ at the point of detection or recognition, and reading error rate. The results showed a significant influence of train speed on driver responses to lineside signals/signs and demonstrated a non-linear relationship between driver responses to signals/signs and approach speed. This has been used to estimate a maximum approach speed limit within which a specific signal or sign can be correctly detected or recognised. The findings and implications of the study are discussed in the paper.     

预处理工艺对硬质合金与金刚石膜间粘结力的影响

在两种经不同预处理的硬质合金YG8基底上，采用微波等离子体化学气相沉积法，在微波功率2kW，压强4.0kPa和6.5kPa，CH4和H2流量分别为1.6cm/s和100.0cm/s的条件下生长金刚石薄膜。利用X射线衍射检测了金刚石薄膜是否存在，用拉曼光谱分析了薄膜的质量，用金相显微镜观察了薄膜的洛氏硬度压痕，标定并比较了不同预处理工艺膜与基底的结合力。实验结果表明，不同的预处理方法对于粘结力的影响不大，最主要的因素是钴含量的多少。     

The Solutions for Adjustment and Reconstruction of Water-Drive Surface Systems in the Old Areas of Daqing Oilfield

Introduction 　　Owing to long-time running, more facilities including stations, pipelines, vessels have become corrosive and aged ,some process has grown old, it has exert more burden for the maintenance and repair.Simultaneously, the fluid production rate, oil production rate and water injection rate has changed greatly so that the inflicts and problems from the established surface systems will become more obvious. Energy cost of production and running has increasing continuously. Capacity has been unbalance in systems and areas. 　　……
