Application of Detecting Part's Size Online Based on Machine Vision

AbstractIn order to use a method untouched to measure part's size, detection system is built. The research is on characteristic point detection, CCD camera calibration and distance detection between two special points. Firstly, the theory of edge detection based on Gauss point spread function is introduced. Secondly, it is calibrated using the characteristic points on the edge. Then a simple CCD calibration method of resolving the solution is deduced to solve the related parameters of model. Finally, 3D special coordinates of characteristic points detected can be obtained by the model. It is realized to detecting part size process online by calculating the distance between two special points. The experimental result shows that when physical length is 0.6 times than focal length, the given precise of measuring result can reach nearly 0.006mm. The precise of image is stable

Dynamics Analysis and Biomass Productivity Optimisation of a Microbial Cultivation Process through Substrate Regulation

A microbial cultivation process model with variable biomass yield, control of substrate concentration, and biomass recycle is formulated, where the biochemical kinetics follows an extension of the Monod and Contois models. Control of substrate concentration allows for indirect monitoring of biomass and dissolved oxygen concentrations and consequently obtaining high yield and productivity of biomass. Dynamics analysis of the proposed model is carried out and the existence of order-1 periodic solution is deduced with a formulation of the period, which provides a theoretical possibility to convert the state-dependent control to a periodic one while keeping the dynamics unchanged. Moreover, the stability of the order-1 periodic solution is verified by a geometric method. The stability ensures a certain robustness of the adopted control; that is, even with an inaccurately detected substrate concentration or a deviation, the system will be always stable at the order-1 periodic solution under the control. The simulations are carried out to complement the theoretical results and optimisation of the biomass productivity is presented

Diaqua­bis(5-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxyl­ato)copper(II)

In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Cu(C10H7N2O2)2(H2O)2], the CuII ion occupies an inversion centre and exhibits a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The phenyl and pyrazole rings of the ligand are twisted by an angle of 11.36 (8)°. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked into a two-dimensional network parallel to the (010) plane by O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds
