Simpler to put up side walls and a back barrier to prevent the blown piece from leaving the belt.

Suggestion: why not use three cameras simultaneously, each from a different angle, then classify the three images? Those cameras must be nearly free in cost. Also, to get more training data, what about setting up a puffer to blow the part

A laser per bucket could be integrated with no change to existing software. Just AND the valve signal with the laser detection signal.

A simpler way to maintain steady pressure with simultaneous puffs would be to use a oversized manifold, and put the valves on the end of the copper air lines, perhaps mounted on a board or something. Maybe you could gang up a number of puff

I see. So right now, if two pieces are too close together on the belt, they just go into the default bucket? What is the limiting factor determining how many buckets you can operate with? And I may have missed this detail, but you must perf

Is this proof that Lego is the best educational toy for creating engineers? What about an initial bucket for pieces that are too close to be reliablely puffed? Maybe you already do that, I couldn't tell. On the issue pressure drop fro

Both are significant dangers, but radiation from the sun can be shielded fairly easily. Not so high energy cosmic rays.

Compared to ripping the tops of mountains in West Virginia and states nearby and filling in the beautiful valleys to strip mine coal, a huge win.

Considering autism's fundamental causes are unknown, it shouldn't be surprising drugs made to combat it don't work. Why should they? It sounds like blind experimentation combined with a bit of placebo effect.

The author's suggested improvements may not be perfect, but they are 100% in the right direction.

99% of situations are the "easy" part. It is the last 1% that will take a long time. Snow. Rain. Missing headlight. Etc.

The term you want is EROEI. Energy return on energy invested. It has been dropping consistently for decades, in the case of oil. Price does not necessarily reflect cost to extract, because it also depends on market demand. Read "The Un

What can you say? They suck. On the other hand, it might make a nice long term investment strategy, and alternative to the S&P 500 index fund. Buy stock in 200 non-MBA led firms and hold for 15 years.

Can't resist: my parents bought a KitchenAid dishwasher in 1970. It still operates to this day (45 years). For a fun read, find the Smithsonian magazine article about the inventor of the dishwasher. Incredible. I like my Bosch dishwash

I like nuclear fusion. Fission has the risk of meltdown, and isn't economically competitive without epic subsidies. So yes and no. This current situation is totally ironic and shows just how ignorant people are. The nearby residents di

Dry casks at the reactor site are totally the correct approach. It should be made law, that all high level waste be so stored on site. Also, a investment fund, a modest one, should be created to fund the re packing of the waste 50 to 100 ye

The internet was nothing if not hyper free speech back then. So ironic that this shows up now, during the internet's "let's scrub out the fake news" phase.

Good thing this sort of thing doesn't happen in heath care. It would totally destroy people's trust in the medical industry if, for example, drug companies did this sort of thing.

In general, a scaffolding of mental rationalizations is constructed. Happens a lot. And generally, it isn't completely black and white; in this case, roundup has benefits to humanity as well as risks and costs. Further down, we have PR

Any time you see a policy in the medical world (or elsewhere) that appears completely irrational and nuts, ask yourself one question: Does this policy increase medical industry revenue? With the exception of instant death to the patient, me

If I were a spy, I'd certainly make my "malware" look like a common adnet or ransomware app. Surprised this possibility wasn't discussed in the article.

What we see here (in the parent comment) is someone parroting standard nuclear industry propaganda: coal is bad too. While those line at least made a bit of sense 15 years ago, it is totally pointless in 2017. No new coal plants are being b

The emergency spillway operated for a day at 5% of design flow, and that minor flow caused enough erosion to threaten to undermine and collapse the spillway structure. Higher flows, like 100x higher, would have cut a deep channel where the

Very misleading regarding Oroville. It wouldn't have been a "30 ft. wall of water", it would have been half the reservoir volume as the failed emergency spillway "bedrock" quickly eroded. And the emergency spillway
