1982 Annual Report

1982 was a year of challenges for all the various members of our unit including the researcher, the extension worker, the forester, and all the support staff. Our program year started on October 1, 1981 and ended on September 30, 1982. From the agriculture standpoint, it has been a difficult year. The fall of 1981 was not favorable to the agricultural producer. Rain, freezing temperatures and even light snow was prevalent in October, 1981. Throughout the winter of 91-82, it was cold and snow was on the ground most of the winter. It was not uncommon for counties in the spring of 1982 to receive five inches or more of rainfall during a week. Parts of the district received nearly 15 inches of rain in two days. This abundance of rainfall caused considerable crop loss not only from the watsr, but from the hail received around the district. The extremely wet weather of May, when most of the winter wheat was flowering, caused many problems. A disease known as head scab attacked much of the wheat south of the Platte River. This was the first time in 31 years that this disease was a problem. Vomitoxins caused by the scab disease were found on the grain and straw which reduced their value. The disease changed a good prospective wheat crop in May to a very poor crop by harvest time. Many of the yields were reduced and test weights were poor. The wheat straw was questionable for use even as bedding for livestock. This fall many farmers were searching for good seed wheat was the germination on some of the 1982 crop wheat was poor. Farmers were pleasantly surprised by the yields and maturity of the fall harvested crops. By mid-August it did not appear that many of our fall crops would mature before the first killing frost. However, the frost was delayed and a good harvest is expected

Mechatronic Systems

Mechatronics, the synergistic blend of mechanics, electronics, and computer science, has evolved over the past twenty five years, leading to a novel stage of engineering design. By integrating the best design practices with the most advanced technologies, mechatronics aims at realizing high-quality products, guaranteeing at the same time a substantial reduction of time and costs of manufacturing. Mechatronic systems are manifold and range from machine components, motion generators, and power producing machines to more complex devices, such as robotic systems and transportation vehicles. With its twenty chapters, which collect contributions from many researchers worldwide, this book provides an excellent survey of recent work in the field of mechatronics with applications in various fields, like robotics, medical and assistive technology, human-machine interaction, unmanned vehicles, manufacturing, and education. We would like to thank all the authors who have invested a great deal of time to write such interesting chapters, which we are sure will be valuable to the readers. Chapters 1 to 6 deal with applications of mechatronics for the development of robotic systems. Medical and assistive technologies and human-machine interaction systems are the topic of chapters 7 to 13.Chapters 14 and 15 concern mechatronic systems for autonomous vehicles. Chapters 16-19 deal with mechatronics in manufacturing contexts. Chapter 20 concludes the book, describing a method for the installation of mechatronics education in schools
