English | ISBN: 1509558012 | 2023 | 128 pages | EPUB | 254 KB
In our busy and hurried lives, we are losing the ability to be inactive. Human existence becomes fully absorbed by activity - even leisure, treated as a respite from work, becomes part of the same logic. Intense life today means first of all more performance or more consumption. We have forgotten that it is precisely inactivity, which does not produce anything, that represents an intense and radiant form of life.

Free Download Visualization of Shock Wave Phenomena by Kazuyoshi Takayama
English | EPUB | 2019 | 719 Pages | ISBN : 3030194507 | 1006.5 MB
This book presents a wealth of images of shock wave phenomena, gathered by the author over the past 40 years. Shadowgrams and interferograms of basic shock-dynamic topics such as reflection, diffraction, refraction, and focusing of shock waves in gases and liquids are sequentially displayed. Though the images themselves are self-explanatory, brief explanations of the experimental conditions are included, so as to facilitate analysis and numerical reproduction of the image data.

Free Download Visual Sensing and its Applications: Integration of Laser Sensors to Industrial Robots by Zhongxue Gan , Qing Tang
English | PDF (True) | 2011 | 269 Pages | ISBN : 3642182860 | 24.1 MB
"Visual Sensing and its Applications: Integration of Laser Sensors to Industrial Robots" provides comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of research and development on this robotic vision system. A laser-structured light is the main concern in discussions of visual sensing. Also addressed in this book are all components of the robotic vision system and an emphasis on how to increase the accuracy of the system using three levels of calibration. This includes calibration of the vision system (eye calibration), calibration of eye-to-hand configuration and calibration of robot kinematics (hand calibration). With the integration of the laser sensors to industrial robots numerous applications in the field of robotic welding, grinding, machining, inspection, and palletizing are illustrated based on practical engineering projects in order to demonstrate how the visual sensing is performed. The book will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and engineers in the areas of robotics and machine vision.
