A systems model and simulation of the vibratory bowl feeder
Gary P. Maul,M. Brian Thomas +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model of a bowl feeder was developed by using state-space methods to evaluate bowl-feeder parameters, and a computer simulation can predict the velocity of the parts in the bowl and subsequently the part feed rate.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors considered that climate warming is among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses to the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity but also has indirect effects on humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel, low-cost pneumatic positioning system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a design in which position control is realized on a single-rod, double-acting cylinder, where two solenoid valves operate conventionally to fill either chamber of the cylinder, while a third valve uses pulsewidth modulation in metering the exhaust flow.
