摘要:
A machine-vision system, method and article is useful in the field of robotics. One embodiment produces signals that emulate the output of an encoder, based on captured images of an object, which may be in motion. One embodiment provides digital data directly to a robot controller without the use of an intermediary transceiver such as an encoder interface card. One embodiment predicts or determines the occurrence of an occlusion and moves at least one of a camera and/or the object accordingly.
摘要:
A container for bulk flowable materials in capacities greater than 500 litres, comprising a tubular inner member adapted to withstand pressure from the contained material as hoop stress in the tubular inner member and therefore to prevent bulging of the container walls, and a co-axial outer polygonal section member, the same length as, or larger than, the inner member, designed to withstand column loading from a plurality of similar containers stacked one on top of the other. The container is typically provided with end caps and a liner bag having an outlet spigot.The outer member is preferably octagonal and constructed from multi-wall corrugated fibreboard.
