You've got a desperatly empty wall and would like to pay tribute to the most famous plumber ? Then here is a tutorial which will help you building a candy dispenser (for candies starting with M and ending with M) inspired by Mario's first appearance in a video game when he faced a certain Donkey Kong. It's a completely customizable project, you'll be able to build the level of your dreams for your candies. Indeed the course you will create is made of modules that you can assemble as you want in almost any order as in a building game. This project is made using only laser cutting (well, there's a few bolts and some glue and paint involved in the process...) I hope you'll get the feeling of my project and create new modules, or imagine other themes for the decorations. It's up to you !emes for the decorations. It's up to you !)

Each year, an estimated one third of all food produced – equivalent to 1.3 billion tonnes worth around $1 trillion – ends up rotting in the bins of consumers and retailers, or spoiling due to poor transportation and harvesting practices." - United Nations, Sustainable Development Goals Social progress has been stunted in disadvantaged communities which has contributed to the underdevelopment of the citizenstin these communities. As a human race, we can argue that environmental degradation is a result of the unethical production methods used to over-produce goods that we want but don't need. As a human race we even go as far as arguing thag we have to move towards more sustainable methods of producing goods however this "new and more sustainable" knowledge of doing things is only shared with the privileged few. The marginalized and impoverished majority of the human race is not empowered with the knowledge of how they can improve their lives and also be key players in the adoption of new and improved sustainable practices and principles that need to be adopted in order to leave the world that we live in as a better place for future generations to come. To ensure that the concept of sustainable living is adopted across all social classes; equal access to sustainable principals and practices as a knowledge base and complimentary skillsets must be available to all. Urban farming specialist, UFarm KZN Agro, and agri-education expert, The AgriCUL Institute, have paired up as the My Lil' Pumpkin team to answer the Sustainable Development Goal 12 - Sustainable Production & Consumption. We have used recycled PVC pipes, plastic bottles and disposable cups to create a Hydroponics System that can be easily recreated by the youth living in a disadvantaged communities. Having this hydroponic knowledge and skillset will empower the youth to be able to grow their own food, change their perspective of what they understand to be waste/scrap and begin to understand its potential value, understand that it is possible to grow food without harming using soil and thereby degrading our natural soil, how to grow food without using vat amounts of water as well as the importance of water harvesting as a method of water conservation. Introduction to Water Hydroponics '''WHAT:''' “Hydro” is the Greek word for water, and “ponos” means work. In hydroponic gardening, the water does the work—in this case, the work of delivering nutrients to the plant roots. Simply put, hydroponic gardening is a method of growing plants without soil. '''WHY:''' Many experts in agriculture consider hydroponic gardening to be much more than just a cool way for home gardeners to grow a few plants. They see it as the future of food production, because hydroponic gardens can be made to fit just about anywhere and allow even un-farmable areas to grow nourishing food. Because the food is dissolved in water, it goes directly to the roots. Plants grow faster and are ready for harvest sooner. You can grow more plants in the same space as you can with a soil garden, and since there’s no soil, there’s no worry about soil-borne diseases or pests – and no weeding. '''HOW:''' The water culture system is the simplest of all active hydroponic systems. The platform that holds the plants is usually made of Styrofoam and floats directly on the nutrient solution. An air pump supplies air to the air stone that bubbles the nutrient solution and supplies oxygen to the roots of the plants. Water culture is the system of choice for growing leaf lettuce, which are fast growing water loving plants, making them an ideal choice for this type of hydroponic system. Very few plants other than lettuce will do well in this type of system. This type of hydroponic system is great for the classroom and is popular with teachers. A very inexpensive system can be made out of an old aquarium or other water tight container.n old aquarium or other water tight container.)

Rather than being given as dividends, the company's cumulative earnings are turned into free shares.
For instance, if a firm offers one bonus share for two shares, an existing shareholder will receive one more shares for two existing share.
Let’s assume that a shareholder owns 1,000 shares in the company. He will receive 500 bonus shares when the firm releases bonus shares, i.e. (1000 * 1/2 = 500).
The terms '''"record date"''' and '''"ex-date"''' are used when the corporation issues bonus shares to its shareholders. Let's look at what the terms "record date" and "ex-date" mean:
== What is the record date of bonus shares? ==
The record date is the cut-off date set by the corporation for bonus shares eligibility. The corporation will issue bonus shares to all shareholders who have shares in their '''Demat account''' on the record date.
== What is Ex-Date of bonus shares? ==
The record date is one day prior than the ex-date. To be eligible for bonus shares, an investor must purchase the shares at least one day before the ex-date.
== The following are the two different types of bonus shares: ==
1) Bonus shares that are fully paid
2) Bonus shares that are partly paid
=== Bonus Shares that are fully paid ===
Fully paid bonus shares are those that are distributed at no additional expense in proportion to the amount of stock held by investors.
Bonus shares of this type can be obtained from the following sources:
1) Profit and loss account
2) Security Premium Account
3) Capital Reserves
4) Capital redemption reserves
=== Bonus Shares that are paid partly ===
Let's start with a definition of a partly-paid share before moving on to party-paid up bonus shares.
A partly paid share is one that has only been partially paid in comparison to the full issue price. It means that an investor can purchase partially paid shares without having to pay the entire issue price.
However, when the corporation makes calls, the remaining sum for partially paid shares can be paid in installments.
When a bonus is applied to partly-paid shares and changed into fully paid shares without calling out the uncalled amount through profit capitalization, partially-paid up bonus shares are generated.
Partly paid-up bonus shares, on the other hand, cannot be issued through a capital redemption reserve account or a security account, unlike fully paid-up bonus shares.
== Advantages of Bonus Shares ==
'''From the viewpoint of the Investor's'''
1) When investors receive bonus shares from the corporation, they are not required to pay any taxes.
2) Bonus shares are useful to long-term shareholders who want to increase the value of their investment.
3) Bonus shares are issued by the company at no cost to shareholders, increasing the number of outstanding shares of an investment in the company and increasing the stock's liquidity.
4) Bonus shares contribute to an investor's trust in the firm's business and operations by allowing the investor to participate in the company and receive capital in return.

'''From the viewpoint of the company'''
1) The issuance of bonus shares boosts the company's worth and improves its market position and image, earning the trust of existing shareholders and attracting a number of small investors to the '''stock market'''.
2) With the issuance of bonus shares on the market, the companies have more free-floating shares.
3) The issuance of bonus shares helps corporations get out of situations where they are unable or unwilling to pay cash dividends to their shareholders.

What is the author's scientific background and orientation? Is he/she a specialist in the field or new to the field? When cross-reading, always keep your question for the text in mind and critically examine whether and for what you can and would like to use the text. Have the "courage to leave gaps": When you first read the text, leave out chapters or passages that lead you too far away from your question! Note down ideas, associations and cross-references already during the first reading: Even if you are sure that this or that thought is obvious - it often does not come a second time ... Various institutions offer courses in speed reading, which train you to quickly grasp the content of texts without reading word for word. If you are interested in this: Acquire this technique in advance so that you are prepared for the emergency! '''Structuring the material''' Reading and editing your sources in a structuring way is a necessary endeavor, and it also has many benefits: It makes the content of the text clearer; books don't have to be read repeatedly; you create "material" for yourself that you can work with further without problems. With the systematic reading, editing and excerpting of readings, you create material for yourself with which you can continue to work in a well-founded manner. The excerpted material is a first text form that you have created in keywords. The next step is the first formulation of your keywords in complete sentences. The resulting text represents the skeleton of a rough draft, which will be edited again in later work phases, supplemented by further excerpts and quotations, evaluated, etc. '''Excerpting''' Excerpting means to grasp the content of a text, to filter out the core elements and to summarize them in one's own words in as short and concise a form as possible. If such an excerpt contains directly (1:1) adopted passages (quotations), these must be recorded with the correct source citation and indicated in quotation marks in case of a later adoption.

This Spinning Kinetic Sculpture RGB is a sculpture you can fix on a wall or on a support. It is made of 2 main identical wheels that spin in opposite direction, which is creating constructive and destructive visual interferences, it is called the phenomenon of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moir%C3%A9_pattern Moiré]. The concept is purely kinetic (spring), it allows the wheels to spin at different and irregular speeds but most importantly to run for a long time (+30minutes). After you rewind the mechanism the wheels start to spin in opposite direction. As soon as the gravity makes the front wheel reverse its spinning direction and pushes some pawls in the system, the 2 wheels are pushed and start to spin again. This is happening until the spring is fully unwinded. If properly optimised and by reducing the friction, it is possible to get a runtime of more than an hour! I got my inspiration from pre-existing kinetic sculptures, but I decided to make my own design and my own version of the mechanism which is the crucial point of the sculpture. Until the day, I tried, made, changed and improved my design and finally made a fresh new version by accumulating all my efforts and previous trials. The result is a fully working Kinetic Sculpture that costs almost nothing and more importantly: the size of the mechanism is twice smaller than other documented kinetic sculpture online! You can also fix it to a support like a mounting base of a screen which will allow you to move it around but a wall will give you a far better looking result. The center of gravity of the wheel is placed so it acts like a pendulum. The radius of the pendulum plays a major role in the total runtime of the sculpture. It can look complex on the first sight but if you look more closely at each step you will see that it is fairly easy. It is also very instructive because you start to understand that every piece plays a major role in the running of the sculpture. You end up with an almost magical piece of art that creates spectacular effects! You can complete the sculpture with an RGB LED Ring connected to an Arduino, an ON/OFF switch and a battery so it looks even more amazing. Please note that only the LEDs need an electrical source of energy. You can choose to not use the LEDs, it's up to you. You're only limited by your own imagination. Understanding the mechanism doesn't seem easy at first sight but that's exactly why I documented everything and wrote this tutorial with plenty of pictures and videos. What was a pain in the ass for me is going to be very easy for you. Isn't it why Internet exist? to be very easy for you. Isn't it why Internet exist?)

- Action Plan for Cold Prevention: What to Do When You Feel a Cold Coming On + (== Introduction: Understanding the Common … == Introduction: Understanding the Common Cold ==
The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract that affects millions of people worldwide each year. While it's often considered a minor illness, its symptoms can be disruptive and uncomfortable, leading to missed work or school days and reduced productivity. Prevention is key to avoiding the common cold, and knowing what to do when you feel a cold coming on can help you minimize its impact on your life.
== Proactive Measures for Cold Prevention: == Maintain Good Hygiene: Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially after coughing, sneezing, or touching common surfaces like doorknobs and handrails. Avoid touching your face, particularly your eyes, nose, and mouth, as this can introduce viruses into your system. Boost Your Immune System: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to provide your body with essential nutrients and antioxidants. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, herbal teas, and clear broths. Consider taking supplements like vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc, which have been shown to support immune function. Get Adequate Rest: Prioritize sleep and aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Rest allows your body to repair and regenerate, strengthening your immune system's ability to fight off infections. Manage Stress: Chronic stress can weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to colds and other illnesses. Practice stress-reduction techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, yoga, or spending time in nature to promote relaxation and overall well-being. Exercise Regularly: Engage in moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week to enhance immune function and overall health. Aim for a combination of cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and flexibility exercises to keep your body strong and resilient. Practice Social Distancing: During cold and flu season, it's essential to minimize your exposure to viruses by practicing social distancing. Avoid close contact with individuals who are sick, and if you're feeling unwell, stay home to prevent spreading the illness to others. When in public spaces, maintain a distance of at least six feet from others, especially in crowded or poorly ventilated areas. [https://zealux.com/product-category/zealux-air-to-water-heat-pump-manufacturer/ air source heat pump manufacturers] Use Humidifiers: Dry indoor air can irritate the respiratory tract and make you more susceptible to cold viruses. Use a humidifier in your home, especially during the winter months when indoor heating systems can decrease humidity levels. Moist air can help soothe nasal passages, reduce coughing, and make it easier to breathe, reducing your risk of developing a cold. Practice Good Sleep Hygiene: Quality sleep is crucial for maintaining a strong immune system and preventing illness. Practice good sleep hygiene by establishing a regular sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, and optimizing your sleep environment. Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet, and avoid electronic devices such as smartphones and computers before bedtime, as the blue light emitted by these devices can disrupt sleep patterns.
== Reactive Steps When You Feel a Cold Coming On: == Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, herbal teas, and clear broths, to help loosen congestion, soothe a sore throat, and prevent dehydration. Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages, as they can dehydrate the body and worsen cold symptoms. Rest and Relaxation: Listen to your body and prioritize rest when you feel a cold coming on. Take a day off work or school if possible, and allow yourself time to recuperate. Use this opportunity to catch up on sleep, watch movies, read books, or engage in other low-energy activities that promote healing. Use Over-the-Counter Remedies: Over-the-counter cold medications can help alleviate symptoms such as congestion, coughing, and sore throat. Choose products that target your specific symptoms, and follow the recommended dosage instructions carefully. Common ingredients to look for include decongestants, antihistamines, cough suppressants, and pain relievers. Try Natural Remedies: Several natural remedies may provide relief from cold symptoms. Gargling with salt water can soothe a sore throat, while nasal saline irrigation can help clear nasal congestion. Honey and lemon tea can provide temporary relief from coughing and throat irritation, while steam inhalation may help loosen mucus and ease breathing. Seek Medical Attention if Necessary: While most colds resolve on their own within a week or two, certain symptoms may indicate a more serious underlying condition, such as bacterial sinusitis or pneumonia. Seek medical attention if you experience severe or prolonged symptoms, high fever, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or other concerning signs. Stay Warm and Comfortable: Create a cozy environment to help your body fight off the cold virus. Dress in warm, comfortable clothing and use blankets to stay snug. Avoid exposure to cold drafts, as this can exacerbate symptoms such as coughing and nasal congestion. Keep your living space comfortably warm, and consider using a space heater or heated blanket to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Use a saline solution or a saline nasal spray to flush out mucus and irritants from your nasal passages. This can provide temporary relief from nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and post-nasal drip, allowing you to breathe more easily and feel more comfortable as your body fights off the cold virus. Eat Nutrient-Rich Foods: Nutrient-rich foods can help support your immune system and aid in recovery when you're fighting off a cold. Focus on consuming foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other immune-boosting nutrients. Incorporate plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats into your diet. Foods like citrus fruits, leafy greens, garlic, ginger, and turmeric are particularly beneficial for cold relief due to their immune-enhancing and anti-inflammatory properties. Conclusion: By following this action plan for cold prevention and knowing what to do when you feel a cold coming on, you can take proactive steps to protect yourself and minimize the impact of the common cold on your health and well-being.

With the right tools and techniques, installing a pool heater becomes a breeze, offering long-term cost savings while allowing control over the pool's comfort. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing a pool heat pump so you can take charge of your pool's comfort and enjoyment.
== What to Consider Before a Swimming Pool Heat Pump Installation? == Before diving into a heat pump installation for your pool, several key factors should be carefully considered to ensure optimal performance and efficiency: * Pool Size and Usage: Evaluate the size of your pool and how frequently it is used. Larger pools or those used more often may require a more powerful heat pump to maintain desired temperatures.

Heat pumps work most efficiently in moderate climates with relatively stable temperatures. For example, in Europe, regions like the Mediterranean coast experience milder winters and warmer summers, making them ideal for heat pump operation. * Available Space: Assess the available space for installing the heat pump unit. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the unit for airflow and maintenance access. * Electrical Requirements: Determine if your pool's electrical system can support the power demands of the heat pump. You may need to upgrade the electrical infrastructure to accommodate the new equipment. * Installation Location: Select a suitable location for installing the heat pump, taking into account factors such as accessibility, airflow, and noise levels. Ideally, the installation site should be level and stable. * Local Regulations and Codes: Familiarize yourself with any local regulations or building codes that may govern the installation of pool heat pumps. Ensure compliance with all applicable guidelines to avoid any legal issues. Additionally, research any local incentives or rebates offered for installing energy-efficient heating systems such as heat pumps, as these can provide financial benefits and further incentivize the installation process. * Budget Considerations: Assess both the initial investment required for purchasing and installing a heat pump, as well as the potential long-term savings in energy costs. Compare various options to identify the most economical solution that aligns with your budgetary constraints. Although the upfront cost of installing a pool heat pump may seem significant, the enduring benefits in terms of reduced energy expenses and extended pool usage can outweigh this initial expenditure. * Warranty and Maintenance: Review the warranty offered by the heat pump manufacturer and consider any ongoing maintenance requirements. Regular maintenance is essential for ensuring optimal performance and extending the lifespan of the equipment. For example, Zealux pool heat pumps offer a generous 7-year warranty, providing peace of mind and protection against unforeseen issues. Additionally, adhering to recommended maintenance schedules, such as cleaning filters and inspecting electrical components, can help maximize the efficiency and longevity of your heat pump investment.

Level: A level will be needed to ensure that the heat pump unit is installed on a flat and level surface. This will help prevent any issues with the unit's operation and performance. Concrete Pad or Base: If the installation site does not have a suitable surface, you may need to pour a concrete pad or lay a stable base for the heat pump to sit on. Ensure that the pad or base is level and properly cured before installing the heat pump of the pool. Safety Equipment: Safety equipment such as gloves and safety glasses should be worn during the installation process to protect against injury. Instruction Manual: Make sure to have the instruction manual provided by the manufacturer on hand. This will guide you through the installation process and provide important safety information. Installation Tools: Drill Wrench Saw Tape measure Marker Scissors Before starting the installation, make sure you have all the necessary tools and equipment. This will ensure that the installation process goes as smoothly as possible.
== Step-by-Step Pool Heat Pump Installation Guide: == Let's break down the installation process into manageable steps:
=== Step 1: Choose the Installation Site: === Select a level area near the pool equipment where the heat pump can be installed securely. Ensure there is ample space around the unit for airflow and maintenance access.

One area where significant strides have been made is in the development and adoption of energy-saving appliances. These appliances offer numerous benefits, both for the environment and for consumers. In this article, we'll explore what makes energy-saving appliances environmentally friendly.
== 1. Reduced Energy Consumption == The primary feature of energy-saving appliances is their ability to consume less energy than their traditional counterparts. This reduction in energy consumption is achieved through various means, such as improved insulation, more efficient motors, and advanced technology that optimizes energy usage. By using less energy to perform the same tasks, energy-saving appliances help to conserve valuable resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), if every household in the United States replaced their old appliances with energy-efficient models, it would collectively save billions of dollars in energy costs and prevent millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year.
== 2. Lower Utility Bills == In addition to their environmental benefits, energy-saving appliances can also save consumers money on their utility bills. While the upfront cost of purchasing energy-efficient appliances may be slightly higher than traditional models, the long-term savings in energy costs can more than offset this initial investment. For example, ENERGY STAR-certified appliances are guaranteed to be more energy-efficient than standard models, which can result in significant savings over the lifespan of the appliance. This means that consumers not only help the environment by reducing their energy consumption but also enjoy tangible financial benefits.
== 3. Extended Lifespan == Another factor that contributes to the environmental friendliness of energy-saving appliances is their extended lifespan. Energy-efficient appliances are often built to higher quality standards and incorporate advanced technologies that improve durability and reliability. By lasting longer than traditional appliances, energy-saving models reduce the frequency with which consumers need to replace them. This not only saves money but also reduces the amount of waste generated by discarded appliances.
== 4. Resource Conservation == Energy-saving appliances also contribute to resource conservation by reducing the demand for raw materials used in their manufacture. Because these appliances are designed to be more efficient, they typically require fewer resources to produce. Additionally, many energy-saving appliances are made from recycled materials or are designed to be easily recyclable at the end of their lifespan. This closed-loop approach to manufacturing helps to conserve resources and minimize waste throughout the entire product lifecycle.
== 5. Environmental Regulations and Standards == The development and widespread adoption of energy-saving appliances have been facilitated by government regulations and industry standards aimed at reducing energy consumption and mitigating environmental impact. For example, organizations like the EPA and the Department of Energy in the United States have established energy efficiency standards for various types of appliances, incentivizing manufacturers to produce more energy-efficient models. Similarly, international initiatives such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement have set targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, prompting governments and businesses around the world to prioritize energy efficiency and sustainability. [http://zealux.com/ heat pump manufacturers] == 6. Advanced Technology and Innovation == Energy-saving appliances owe much of their efficiency to advancements in technology and innovation. Manufacturers are constantly researching and developing new technologies to improve the energy efficiency of their products. For example, smart appliances equipped with sensors and connectivity features can optimize energy usage based on usage patterns and external factors such as weather conditions. This intelligent functionality ensures that energy is only consumed when necessary, further reducing waste and environmental impact. Additionally, innovations in materials science and engineering have led to the development of more efficient components, such as heat pumps and variable-speed compressors in refrigerators and air conditioners. These technologies not only improve energy efficiency but also enhance performance and reliability.
== 7. Consumer Awareness and Education == Another crucial aspect of the environmental friendliness of energy-saving appliances is consumer awareness and education. While energy efficiency labels such as ENERGY STAR provide valuable information to consumers, many people may not fully understand the benefits of choosing energy-saving appliances or how to maximize their efficiency. Educational initiatives and outreach campaigns can play a vital role in increasing awareness and promoting the adoption of energy-saving appliances. By providing consumers with information about the environmental and financial benefits of energy efficiency, as well as tips for optimizing appliance usage, these initiatives empower individuals to make informed choices that benefit both themselves and the planet.
== 8. Lifecycle Analysis and Environmental Impact == Assessing the environmental impact of appliances goes beyond just their energy consumption during use. A comprehensive understanding of their lifecycle environmental impact is essential for evaluating their overall sustainability. Lifecycle analysis considers the environmental impact of appliances at every stage, from raw material extraction and manufacturing to transportation, use, and end-of-life disposal or recycling. Energy-saving appliances often perform favorably in lifecycle assessments due to their lower energy consumption, longer lifespan, and recyclability.

- What is machine vision + (Machine vision is a technology in the fiel … Machine vision is a technology in the field of artificial intelligence aimed at obtaining and analyzing images through the use of specialized cameras and equipment in an industrial environment. The data obtained can be used to solve a wide range of work tasks, machine vision technologies allow us to abandon less efficient human labor. Machine vision technology allows industrial equipment to "see" and interact with objects, which in turn helps to improve the quality of manufactured products, reduce production costs, and simplify tasks. == Benefits of Machine Vision == Machine vision improves company efficiency, productivity and saves money. The introduction of machine vision systems in production significantly increases its competitiveness, which is due to a number of obvious advantages of robotic labor: # Computer vision is ideal for routine, repetitive tasks where a person can easily lose focus and make mistakes; # In areas that require high precision, such as pharmaceuticals and mechanical engineering, machine vision guarantees the absolute accuracy of tasks; # A significant advantage of machine vision over human labor is the ability of a computer to detect millions of shades and gradations of colors in images that are inaccessible to the human eye; # [https://www.seosakti.com/machine-vision-how-to-teach-a-locomotive-to-help-the-driver/ Machine vision] is able to simultaneously perceive a huge variety of objects, which not only reduces the time to complete tasks, but also expands the functionality of the possibilities. == Machine vision tasks == Typical tasks that are solved using machine vision systems: # compliance with product quality; # detection and search of objects, measurement of sizes; # tool management (machine, robot, etc.); # testing and calibration; # management of production processes in real time; # collection, recognition and identification of information, comparison with a given template; # equipment monitoring; # image recovery; # barcode reading; # sorting/counting objects; # Color analysis. Before turning to practical examples, let's define the most important components. Typically, vision systems are divided into two independent subsystems: # Acquisition of images; # Image processing. Each of them, in turn, includes a different set of components depending on the requirements of a particular application. == Components of a machine vision system == With image processing, everything is more or less clear: # calculator (one or another processor, graphics coprocessor, DSP or FPGA); # mathematical algorithms that work on this calculator. In practice, certain platforms and software are used “as is”, and rarely anything changes in the algorithms themselves. The task of the developer is to choose the types of algorithms and their sequence. And here a tool that allows you to easily and conveniently operate with images becomes of great importance. And here the most important thing begins. But for this they (images) must first be obtained. An image, an array of pixel values, or a cloud of points, in the case of multidimensional representations, can be obtained in various ways, and the developer plays a decisive role in this: # video camera; # thermal imaging camera; # laser 3D scanner; # TOF camera; # and many others. And in each case, the choice is not limited to one type of device. A video camera can be a matrix camera, or it can be linear, color or monochrome, with different resolutions and matrix sizes. Sometimes you have to sacrifice resolution in favor of pixel size, and sometimes a small pixel is preferable (for observing small objects). Depending on the type of camera and the object being examined, you may also need: # Input-output equipment; # Lighting system; # Camera lenses. It is equally useless to use a good, expensive camera with a mediocre, cheap lens, and vice versa. The lens can be ordinary, or it can be telecentric or special for "peeping" into the pipe or, conversely, coverage of 360 °. The light can be shadow, direct, angled, coaxial, white or monochromatic, pulsed or structured. Of course, various combinations of all of the above options are possible. == Selection of machine vision components == The choice of the wrong technical solution for obtaining an image is very difficult to compensate with the most complex mathematical algorithms. Unfortunately, our own experience plays an important role in making a mistake: it is not difficult for a person to receive (see) and process a picture without all these "wisdom". This happens, as it seems to us, instantly and requires much less effort than solving a quadratic equation, with which the computer copes faster than us. From which we draw a simple but incorrect conclusion: obtaining and processing images for a computer is not a very difficult task, because it is so “smart”. But that's not the case at all. Despite the obvious progress in computing power, digital cameras and algorithms, modern machine vision systems are not able to “easily” solve tasks that seem trifling to a person. We tend to underestimate the capabilities of our brain and vision. This is the source of a number of failures and disappointments from attempts to use machine vision systems in industrial applications. Equipment manufacturers often fail to draw the attention of their consumers to the fact that even the most advanced camera with the latest software is a necessary but not sufficient component of success. A perfect camera has not made anyone a professional photographer overnight. Despite a number of "helpers" (auto exposure, auto focus), knowledge and considerable experience are needed to choose the time and point of shooting, lighting, aperture and focus point to get a good picture. In this case, as a rule, the goal is not to obtain a repeatable picture of an object with detail, regardless of its color, external illumination or rotation, to avoid shadows, uneven lighting, hide or emphasize defects in shape or surface - i.e. facilitate subsequent processing as much as possible, increase the reliability and reliability of the algorithms. But these are only a small fraction of the issues without which the operation of machine vision systems will not be effective. From the foregoing, a disappointing conclusion follows: for all the seeming triviality of the task of visual control, the construction of a working machine vision system requires the involvement of professionals at the earliest stages, from the selection of equipment to its installation, training of algorithms and subsequent maintenance. Do not trust sellers who convince you that this "wonder camera" will solve all your problems. Practical experience and knowledge gained in the creation of vision systems that work in production are important as in no other applied engineering field due to the initial high degree of uncertainty of the conditions and the object of study. Corresponding to this (literally and figuratively) is the value of both engineers and companies with such experience. Is this not a reason for young professionals to think about the area of application of their efforts? == Application of machine vision: examples == Even in seemingly simple issues of visual control of juice jars on a conveyor or medicine ampoules, a number of issues may arise that require a systematic approach and certain experience. For example, it is genuinely surprising that the control of an excise stamp glued vertically and horizontally on a round bottle requires different technical solutions. For a more detailed illustration, let's consider the problem a little more complicated. For example, the integration of technical vision into the system of electrical testing of film capacitors in their mass production. The test subject is selected from our practice, but can be easily replaced with smaller or larger items from any production area, be it the food industry or the automotive industry. So, # Visual control of the surface, shape; # Control of machines and feed mechanisms, in this project these are industrial robots; # Accounting (identification, sorting, marking, etc.) In the example under consideration, capacitors are rectangular objects with face sizes from 3 to 20 mm of two types: output - and a surface-mounted version, i.e. without legs - conclusions. The hatcher, in turn, is divided into two types of body: in fact, corpus and pupated. The corpus one has strictly orthogonal parallelepiped shapes, the pupated one has a certain rounded shape, similar to a rectangular lollipop with oval edges. All of them differ in the size of the case, its color, and the output ones also differ in diameter, length of the outputs and the distance between them. In addition, the conclusions can be located on different sides or on one side. The supply of capacitors for testing is carried out in bulk, i.e. bunch out of the box. The list of object manipulations looks like this: # Take an object from the "heap"; # Check its type (in form and marking); # Assess the condition of the case for visible damage, scratches, chips; # Move to electrical testing station; # Carry out electrical tests; # Move from the electrical test station to the appropriate tray depending on the test result (Rejection and sorting by rating). The installation should work with all types of capacitors without significant readjustment, and preferably without it at all. Let's consider the most complex variant with pupated capacitors (that is, having a body shape other than rectangular in two sections). To capture the capacitor from the “heap”, a picture is used from a camera located above the “luminous” section of the vibrating table that feeds. The algorithm selects a “free” capacitor in the image and passes its coordinates to a robot equipped with a pneumatic suction cup for capture. In the absence of a free capacitor, a “shake” command is sent to the feed table controller, after which a new picture is analyzed. The procedure is repeated until the object to be captured appears in the field of view. The robot moves the captured object to the first control zone, where, in addition to evaluating the shape of the body, length and location of the leads, its compliance with the type specified by the program is determined. Pneumatic grip allows you to manipulate objects of different shapes and sizes, but this results in a large spread in the actual position of the product in the grip. In addition, the terminals of the capacitor can be shifted in one direction or another. To determine the positioning error, a machine vision system is used that evaluates the actual position of the product in the grip in the coordinates of the robot. To estimate displacements in the third dimension, the triangulation principle is used with additional laser illumination. Thus, in the next operation, the required accuracy of element placement in the mechanical grip is achieved. In some cases, a decision is made that it is impossible to manipulate this sample, and it is sent to marriage or to a container for "manual" processing. A mechanical gripper with a pneumatic drive aligns the leads for subsequent placement of the device in the connector of the electrical testing station and transfers the product for subsequent manipulations to the second robot. Identical bolts are located at different distances from the camera. The detail on the left is a cylinder extended along the axis of the lens. To increase the reliability of the control of a rounded case, telecentric lenses are used, which allow not only to more accurately estimate the geometric dimensions, but also to increase the depth of field of the image, which makes it possible to work with objects of different sizes. To obtain certain characteristics, various types of LED illumination are used: background, diffuse direct light, laser triangulation. The motion system works in close cooperation with the test station and machine vision subsystems. The electrical testing process is the longest stage - therefore, in order to increase the productivity of the installation, it is important that only products that successfully pass all other tests arrive here. At all stages of control, rejection of the product is provided. Depending on the test results, capacitors can be sorted by rating or other performance characteristics. == The choice of equipment and tools for the development of machine vision systems == The installation consists of several subsystems from different manufacturers: # Feeder, vibrating table Anyfeed (Switzerland), controlled via serial link; # Image capture systems are equipped with ace digital cameras (Basler AG, Germany) with different lenses depending on the selected resolution and subject. An Ethernet interface with built-in power circuits (PoE) provides the required flexibility - cameras are connected via a single cable using a network hub; # Telecentric lenses ([https://www.dzoptics.com/en/ DZOptics], China) are used at several control posts, in other cases - ordinary lenses of the middle price range; # General synchronization and control of mechanisms and robots is carried out using a set of discrete sensors and an industrial controller cRIO (National Instruments Corp., USA); # The electrical testing station was built on the basis of the PXI industrial measuring platform and modular instruments from National Instruments Corp., USA. A single tool for developing machine vision systems allows not only to reduce the cost of creation (one team of developers works or several - they “speak” the same language), but also significantly increases the reliability of the application software, since it does not require the integration of several different programs, developed in different languages. == Machine Vision Development: Conclusions == The successful development and implementation of machine vision in the production process is a rather complex engineering task, despite its apparent simplicity. But this should not become an obstacle to the development of modern technologies, because. The relevance of machine vision is growing rapidly. If you decide to build a vision system yourself, then be prepared for the fact that success will not come immediately. It is generally an iterative process consisting of numerous experiments with cameras, lights, and image processing algorithms. There are a large number of development tools on the market that allow you to solve typical problems without programming, but they all take time to master. In addition, each object of study needs its own, individual approach to finding the optimal technical solution. The easiest way to reduce the number of problems at the initial stage is to describe your task to the supplier of the components of the future system. Professional advice will help you avoid obvious mistakes. If you are offered a “wonder camera” that easily solves any problem, ask to demonstrate it on your sample and make sure that it is really “easy and simple”. If you are not confident in your abilities or if you have more important things to do, entrust the solution to people who have practical experience in working with vision systems and their integration into machines and production processes. #into machines and production processes. #)

Whether sitting, standing, or engaging in physical activities, stretch jeans provide a flexible fit that molds to the body's contours without feeling constricting or restrictive. '''Enhanced Mobility:''' Stretch jeans offer improved mobility and freedom of movement compared to traditional denim jeans. The elasticity of the fabric allows for greater flexibility, making it easier to bend, squat, or reach without feeling restricted. This advantage is particularly beneficial for individuals with active lifestyles who require clothing that can keep up with their movements, whether running errands, attending social events, or engaging in outdoor activities. '''Flattering Silhouette:''' Another notable advantage of stretch jeans is their ability to create a flattering silhouette for various body types. The stretchy fabric gently hugs the curves and contours of the body, providing a sleek and streamlined appearance. Stretch jeans can help smooth out any lumps or bumps, creating a more polished and flattering look. Additionally, the flexibility of the fabric ensures that the jeans maintain their shape and fit snugly without sagging or bagging over time. '''Versatile Style Options:''' Stretch jeans come in a wide range of styles, washes, and finishes, offering versatile options to suit different preferences and occasions. From skinny jeans and bootcut jeans to high-rise and boyfriend jeans, there is a style of stretch jeans to complement every wardrobe. Whether dressing up for a night out or keeping it casual for a weekend brunch, stretch jeans provide endless styling possibilities that can effortlessly transition from day to night. '''Easy Care and Maintenance:''' Stretch jeans are known for their durability and easy care requirements, making them a practical choice for everyday wear. Most stretch jeans can be machine washed and dried without losing their shape or elasticity. Additionally, the stretchy fabric is resistant to wrinkles and creases, ensuring that the jeans maintain a crisp and polished appearance with minimal effort. This convenience makes stretch jeans a go-to option for individuals with busy lifestyles who value low-maintenance clothing options. '''Long-lasting Performance:''' Despite their stretchy nature, stretch jeans are designed to withstand regular wear and maintain their shape and integrity over time. The combination of high-quality denim and elastane or spandex fibers ensures long-lasting durability and performance. Stretch jeans are less prone to stretching out or becoming misshapen, even after multiple washes and wears, providing excellent value for money in the long run. '''Conclusion:''' In conclusion, the advantages of stretch jeans are undeniable, offering a winning combination of comfort, style, and versatility. Whether you're seeking a pair of jeans for everyday wear or special occasions, stretch jeans provide the perfect balance of form and function. With their comfortable fit, enhanced mobility, flattering silhouette, versatile style options, easy care and maintenance, and long-lasting performance, stretch jeans have rightfully earned their place as a wardrobe essential for fashion-conscious individuals seeking both style and comfort.ndividuals seeking both style and comfort.)
- 5 Tips to Get the Fastest Cooling from Your Car's Air Conditioner This Summer + (Summer is about to hit Perth, it’s high ti … Summer is about to hit Perth, it’s high time that you prepare yourself and your car to deal with our scorching West Australian summer heat. The air conditioner (AC) in your car is the only saviour that protects us from the blazing sun while we commute to work or run errands. Our expert mechanics in Canning Vale have put down their favourite tips that will help you get the most of your car’s AC to achieve its maximum cooling. Remember before you head out with your car this summer make sure you get its seasonal service done for a smooth run throughout the season. AME Automotive offers an extensive range of [https://ameauto.com.au/auto-services/air-conditioning/ '''car air conditioning services'''] including a car aircon regas service. With their trained experts and industry experience, AME Automotive is the best mechanics in Canning Vale for car AC repair and maintenance. == 5 Ways to Get the Maximum Cooling from Your Car AC == It's perfectly fine if your car’s AC is working well but in Perth when it’s not we soon knows and complains about it fast! Air Conditioning has become the Perth way of life, so how can we maximise getting the most out of the Air Conditioner in our car? Read on we have the top 5 tips to get better and faster cooling from your car’s AC. === 1. Partially Open the Windows === In summer when you start the car and your journey it's better to leave a hot car’s windows partially open. This is so the hot air can escape out of the vehicle. The Perth summer season is notoriously known for heating the insides of your car and filling it up with warm air. When you sit in the car to go on your journey and switch on the Aircon it will have to work on releasing a huge amount of heat before it even begins to cool down. However if you open the windows while the AC is switched on, hot air will escape through the gap. This makes the cooling much faster and reduces the work AC has to do. === 2. Use the Recirculating Mode === When you switch on the car’s AC and after the car begins to cool down, always remember to use the recirculation mode too. Initially the recirculation mode will help the warm air escape faster. Warm air tends to rise with increasing temperature and escape through the vents. The recirculation mode will accelerate the process. Once you have gotten rid of the warm air the same re circulating mode will circulate the cool air throughout the car. The science is cool air being heavy settles on the floor. An external force that recirculates it will facilitate a uniform distribution and enable effective cooling. === 3. Keep a Track on the Refrigerant Level === Sometimes you could be doing everything right and still your car Air Conditioner will fail to cool the temperature inside. This might be a sign of reduced refrigerant. These refrigerants cool the air coming out from the car aircon. If you are testing the air conditioner on full heat (or cold) and the air coming out is still untreated (e.g. Lukewarm this could be a sign that your car AC needs repair or a [https://ameauto.com.au/auto-services/air-conditioning/ '''Car aircon regas service''']. Bring your car into AME Automotive and we can check for you. Get the refrigerant refilled on time and grab your car aircon regas service before the summer hits. In a Car Aircon regas service we will also inspect all your car’s Air Conditioner equipment and refrigerant pipes. Damaged or leaky pipes can cause the refrigerant to drip out and disrupt the AC’s cooling even after getting the refrigerant refilled. === 4. Clean the AC &Air Filters === When your car’s AC sits idle throughout the winter, spring or even when driving the car air filters and the AC collects a lot of dust. Make sure during any service these are pulled out and replaced (or at a minimum cleaned). A clogged filter will be disrupt the flow of cool air and substantially reduce its speed. With the reduced airflow rate it will take a lot longer for the air conditioner to cool the car. Also, since old and dirty filters force your aircon to work harder and push out the cool air, it will lead to a sharp increase in fuel consumption. To avoid this always get your trusted mechanic to inspect and replace the filters. === 5. Park Smart! === So simple but the easiest way to make the most of your car’s Aircon is to park under shade. It always sounds easier than it is as Parking around Perth and in the suburbs can be at a premium sometimes. Most our mechanics would pick a steaming hot car if they can get a fast and easy parking spot without waiting. Aiming for shade (where possible) and avoiding unnecessary heat will keep the temperature of your car low and the air conditioner working less to cool the air faster. '''Pro Tip''' - How to take you’re parking to the next level. If you have to park your car in the sun, can you park near shade and consider if it will cover your car if the sun moves in the right direction?? Remember if you don't get a shaded parking spot, keep the windows of your parked car just cracked (but not accessible) to enable air circulation (again providing you feel parking is secure and low threat) – Now is a good time to remind you NEVER to leave valuables in the car and ESPECIALLY in plain sight if you don’t want it broken into. == Wrapping Up == Driving around in the Perth Summer in a stinking hot car is ridiculously uncomfortable. Aa unserviced and slow Air Conditioner will only make matters worse. If you focus on even a couple of these top tips you will improve the performance of your car’s AC and ensure comfortable car rides even though this Perth summer.table car rides even though this Perth summer.)
- Swimming Safety 101: Tips for Safe Swimming + (Swimming is a refreshing and enjoyable act … Swimming is a refreshing and enjoyable activity, whether you're taking a dip in a pool, lake, or ocean. However, it's crucial to prioritize safety to prevent accidents and ensure a pleasant experience for everyone involved. Whether you're a seasoned swimmer or just dipping your toes in the water, these tips will help you stay safe and confident in any aquatic environment.
== 1. Learn to Swim == The first and most important step in swimming safety is learning how to swim proficiently. Enroll yourself and your children in swimming lessons taught by certified instructors. These lessons not only teach essential swimming skills but also cover water safety techniques such as floating, treading water, and recognizing dangerous situations.
== 2. Supervise Constantly == Never swim alone, and always supervise children near water, even if they know how to swim. Designate a responsible adult to keep watch at all times, especially in crowded pools or open water settings where visibility might be limited. Avoid distractions like phones or reading materials while supervising, as every second counts in an emergency.
== 3. Know Your Limits == Understanding your swimming abilities and physical limitations is crucial for staying safe in the water. Don't attempt to swim beyond your skill level or endurance capacity, and never engage in breath-holding contests or other risky activities that can lead to shallow water blackout or drowning.
== 4. Respect Water Conditions == Be aware of the current water conditions before entering any body of water. Check for signs warning of dangerous currents, rip tides, or hazardous marine life. If swimming in open water, such as the ocean or a lake, familiarize yourself with the area's topography and potential hazards before diving in.
== 5. Wear Appropriate Gear == Always wear appropriate swimwear when swimming, avoiding loose clothing that can impede movement or become entangled in underwater obstacles. Additionally, consider wearing a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket, especially if you're not a strong swimmer or if swimming in open water where currents can be unpredictable.
== 6. Practice Sun Safety == Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by applying waterproof sunscreen with a high SPF before swimming, even on cloudy days. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or more frequently if swimming for extended periods. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and UV-protective sunglasses can also provide additional sun protection. [https://zealux.com/product-category/inverboost-pool-heat-pump/ pool heat pump] == 7. Stay Hydrated == Swimming can be deceptively strenuous, leading to dehydration if not properly hydrated. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after swimming to maintain optimal hydration levels. Avoid alcoholic beverages, as they can impair judgment and increase the risk of accidents in the water.
== 8. Be Cautious Around Pool Drains == Pool drains and suction outlets can pose a serious safety hazard, especially for young children. Teach children to stay away from pool drains and never to play or swim near them. Additionally, ensure that pools are equipped with proper drain covers and safety mechanisms to prevent entrapment incidents.
== 9. Know Emergency Procedures == Familiarize yourself with emergency procedures and rescue techniques, such as CPR and basic first aid. Keep a phone or other communication device nearby in case of emergencies, and know how to quickly and accurately relay your location to emergency responders if needed.
== 10. Follow Pool Rules and Signs == Whether swimming in a public pool, private pool, or natural body of water, always adhere to posted rules and signs. These regulations are in place to protect swimmers and ensure a safe and enjoyable swimming experience for everyone. Ignoring posted warnings or rules can lead to accidents or injuries.
== 11. Buddy System == Swimming with a buddy is an effective way to enhance safety in the water. Choose a swimming partner who is at a similar skill level and agrees to keep an eye on each other throughout the swimming session. The buddy system ensures that help is readily available in case of an emergency, and it provides an extra layer of support and encouragement during swims.
== 12. Check Weather Conditions == Before heading out for a swim, check the weather forecast to ensure safe swimming conditions. Avoid swimming during thunderstorms, as lightning poses a significant risk of electrocution and injury. Pay attention to wind speed and direction, as strong winds can create hazardous waves and currents, especially in open water environments. If inclement weather is forecasted, consider postponing your swim or choosing a safer location for aquatic activities.
== 13. Be Mindful of Exhaustion == Swimming can be physically demanding, especially for inexperienced swimmers or those swimming in challenging conditions. Watch out for signs of fatigue or exhaustion, such as muscle cramps, heavy breathing, or difficulty staying afloat. Take regular breaks to rest and hydrate, and listen to your body's signals to avoid overexertion. If you feel tired or unwell while swimming, exit the water immediately and seek assistance if necessary.
== 14. Utilizing Swimming Pool Heat Pumps: == In the realm of swimming safety, maintaining appropriate water temperature is crucial for comfort and enjoyment.

On the same principle it would be possible to print[http://commeungardon.blogspot.com/2017/03/le-diaphragme-contraceptif.html diaphragmes]. Not everyone has access to the Internet to buy it online, enough money to buy a ready-made one, a vacuum chamber to mold it and buy silicone. My idea is to send the model and the tpu filament for example in fablabs and it would be possible to print it quickly. Anyone can participate in the fablab for example by making a free donation in a box next to the 3D printer, for example. We will therefore be able to apply this principle in developing countries and in all places where there is a person in need. It all started on Thingiverse and with @Totdahl who was able to print the prototype0 and give me feedback on the file. She also posted it on the 3D printing group on Facebook ,which allowed me to get positive as well as negative, disgusted or amused feedback. Unintentionally they all participated in a discussion about the female body and the taboos it still represents today. In the meantime I was able to meet @JessicaCL from Mission Control Lab, one of the creators of [[Www.openfem.org/|openfem.org]] which had as its project to generate open source contraceptive and protection solutions.

- CCD-or CMOS-lab-on-a-chip based on discrete converters of different physical and chemical parameters of samples into the optical signals with positional sensitivity for morphometry of non-optical patterns + (The literature analysis suggestes that a c … The literature analysis suggestes that a complex characterization of physiological activity of a living organism requires dozens or hundreds of chips depending on the task. For example, there are both active and passive chips used in biophysical, molecular metabolomic and genomic studies in fundamental and applied molecular medicine: a. allergology (Taira, 2009; Lupinek, 2014; Seyfarth, 2014; Zienkiewicz, 2014; Williams, 2016); b. haematology and transfusiology (Hassan, 2015; Nguyen, 2015; Chen, 2015; Kuan, 2015; Rafeie, 2016; Mielczarek, 2016), including blood-brain barrier research / modeling (Shao, 2016; Bonakdar, 2016; Brown, 2015; Deosarkar, 2015); c. lymphology (Hanna, 2003; Shimizu, 2007; Moura, 2016) and phlebology (Franco, 2012; Brivo, 2012; Zhou, 2012; Ryu, 2015); d. cardiology (Tanaka, 2007; Chean, 2010; Grosberg, 2011; Agarwal, 203; Wang, 2014; Rismani, 2015; Jastrzebska, 2016; Marsano, 2016; Zhang, 2016); e. gastroenterology-on-a-chip (Yang, 2009; Esh, 2012, 2014), including gut-on-a-chip techniques (Bjerketorp, 2008; Kim, 2008, 2016; Tottey, 2013; Lee, 2016); f. cellular neurophysiology-on-a-chip and neuromorphogenesis-on-a-chip (Millet, 2010; Ling, 2010; Kim, 2014; Huang, 2014; Wei, 2014; Kunze, 2015; Yamada, 2016); g. endocrinology (Marchesini, 2007; Bovet, 2007; Srivastava, 2014); h. immunology (Yakovleva, 2002; Yang, 2005; Corgier, 2007; Liu, 2011; Zhang, 2011; Kayo, 2013; Wang, 2015; Ali, 2016); i. general “splanchnology-on-a-chip” based on N principally equivalent approaches: “organ-on-a-chip” (Wikswo, 2013; Ahmad, 2014; van der Helm, 2016; Mousavi, 2016) / “organ-on-a-chip” (Lee, 2013; Bhise, 2014; Odjik, 2015; Kim, 2015; Caplin, 2015; Sticker, 2015; An, 2015; Zheng, 2016; Cho, 2016), “organoid-on-a-chip” (Skardal, 2016) and “physiome-on-a-chip” (Stokes, 2015), which can be integrated in the frame of concept “body-on-a-chip” (Esh, 2011, 2016; Williamson, 2013; Reif, 2014; Sung, 2014; Kelm, 2014; Ryu, 2015; Perestrelo, 2015); {etc.} The above problem made the study so complicated, that it became quite unfeasible, since the “multi-chip” analysis (see Terminological remark No. 1) turned to be very expensive and the large sample volume required for such a complex analysis could not satisfy the principles of non-destructive diagnostics on a chip (for example, see (Takahashi, 2004; Feng, 2015)) due to many biomaterial sampling points (for example, see (Ando, 1987; Nikolaidis, 2012)) standardized in the protocols for biomedical and veterinary diagnostics. On the other hand, the difference and variety of the sampling and the sample preparation techniques for different microchips and standard diagnostic methods made the problem of analyzing the complex biochemical physiological state of the organism unimplementable and poorly informative. It is quite obvious that for the purpose of compatibility and comparability of the measurement using different analytical devices (see Terminological note No. 2) it is necessary to provide the compatibility and comparability of the sampling and the sample preparation methods. In the ideal case, all the analytical procedures should be performed with a single uniformly calibrated device using the same sample for all the tests without moving the sample from one device to another. To date there are independent calibration methods for chips (Gillot, 2007; Binder, 2008; Karsunke, 2009; Nakamoto, 2010; März, 2010; Song, 2012; Buchegger, 2014), as well as the calibration protocols for other analytical methods (including the imaging ones) using chips (Su, 2016; Garnica-Garza, 2009). Hence, we need an equivalent of cross-calibration in the interpretation close to that given by NIST for cytometry (Hoffman, 2012), although the term was used much earlier in radiology (including tomography) and nuclear medicine (Paans, 1989; Genant, 1994; Tothil, 1995; Grampp, 2000; Geworski, 2002; Hetland, 2009; Garnica-Garza, 2009), as well as in the number of spectroscopic methods applied for the biomaterial analysis (Kwiatkowska, 2008; Wang, 2012; Poto, 2015; Liu, 2016). In addition, when we deal with the structured samples such as biological tissues, it is also important to obtain information on the spatial distribution of the substance or property analyzed in the image form, for example: o magnetic field imaging; o electrochemical parameters and field gradient; o laser beam transmission outside the visible spectral range; o distribution of the emitting regions in autoradiography; o polarization characteristics and the angular fluorescence polarization; o the local temperature of the sample at different points on a chip{etc.} Moving the sample from one microscope to another makes it difficult to establish the correspondence (colocalization) between the regions of interest (ROI) for different wavelength ranges (or different physical characteristics) allowing to perform the mapping and identification of the components under investigation due to the difference of visualization in different spectral ranges (or different physical “descriptors”). This prevents one from combination of the signal distribution maps from different spectral regions, and hence, makes it impossible to establish the correlations between the presence and distribution of the certain components or physical and chemical properties in the sample / tissue. Since different components of the analyte possess a number of colocalized characteristics in different spectral ranges (Zimmermann, 2005; Gavrilovic, 2009), it is possible to perform either a simultaneous or a sequential mapping and identification of several tissue components based on the physically different properties. For example, some target components can be visualized using non-spectral properties, such as magnetic fields (Gruschke, 2012; Kim, 2015; Hejazian, 2015), labeled atom diffusion (for example, see: Parker, 1981; Galbraith, 1981; Blakely, 1986; Hein, 1986; Nemecz, 1988; Pouteau, 2003), temperature maps (Choudhury, 2012; Rosenthal, 2014; Karadimitriou, 2014; Meng, 2015; Lo, 2016) or redox maps (including ratiometric those (Herman, 2005; Hilderbrand, 2008; Zhang, 2015; Chen, 2015; Pan, 2016)) on a chip (Jezierski, 2013; Gashti, 2016). We propose to implement a full range of methods for mapping the biological tissue parameters with or without specific labels using planar transducers / converters of the non-optical signal to the optical one, as will be described below. This will also result in the substitution of a number of independent expensive diagnostic devices with a simple unified complex diagnostic and analytical device. The operator of such a complex lab-on-a-chip will predominantly perform data analysis and processing (a so-called data mining, which is now mainly used not in the active mapping or imaging chips, but in the passive chips for genomic and peptidomic investigations (Lee, 2001; Smith, 2005; Abascal, 2008; Ghanekar, 2008; Usui, 2009; Nussbeck, 2013)) rather than routine analytical procedures (such as sampling and dropping (Fang, 2002; Du, 2005; Cellar, 2005; Huynh, 2006; Zhang, 2007; Do, 2008; Jang, 2009; Kertesz, 2010; Sun, 2010; Coskun, 2010; Wu, 2012)) due to an automatic machinery. This is in consistence with the modern trends in the development of the information society and the extension of the applicability of the chemoinformatic (“chemobioinformatic” (Basak, 2012)) software for biomedical and pharmaceutical (Weinstein, 2001; Shedden, 2003; Shedden, 2004; Parker, 2004; Ghose, 2006; Kong, 2008; Speck-Planche, 2014; Capasso, 2015; Gromova, 2016), agrobiological and biotechnological problems (Speck-Planche, 2012; Grädow, 2014). In this regard, the design of the above proposed complex devices for multi-parametric analysis and mapping of the samples is of great importance for analytical practice both for improving the quality and information content of the analysis and for the rational use of the working time of the analyst. The possibility of connecting such devices to the PC and mobile network resources (Lillehoi, 2013; Wu, 2014; Pan, 2014; Koydemir, 2015; Bhavnani, 2016) allows to improve the quality of telemedicine (Fleck, 1999; Bishara, 2011; Balsam, 2015), GIS – coupled analysis / sample analysis in the field conditions with the geodetic reference (Senbanjo, 2012 Gerald, 2014; Ferguson, 2016), quality control on a chip (Shearstone, 2002; Hartman, 2005; Zhang, 2005; Stokes, 2007; Pierzchalski, 2012) in chemical and biotechnological industry using SCADA and similar systems (Gieling, 1996; Ozdemir, 2006; Smith, 2006; Moya, 2009). The implementation of the technology proposed will increase the labor productivity of the analysts and researchers, since the performance of N analyses with a single device equals to the N-times reduction of the amount of the auxiliary routine work compared to the performance of each analysis with an independent device requiring different sampling procedures and sample treatment protocols. Since the first labs-on-a-chip were developed by the author for his own research problems and were tested in the routine research practice, he could easily appreciate the ergonomics and usability of such devices with the maintenance of the quality and increase in the rapidity of the analysis. '''Novel approach''' The contemporary analysis of the literary and the preliminary calculations, suggested using an optical channel for analytical data acquisition with the CMOS and CCD detectors. However, the serial CMOS and CCD allow detection only the optical parameters providing the analyte concentration measurements by absorbance or transmittance or fluorescence of a selectively bound dye. Modern CMOS- and CCD-based labs-on-a-chip fail to perform visualization of a number of characteristic descriptors for many biological and medical samples, such as magnetic fields, temperature profiles, localization of radioisotope sources and selective emission from cells and tissues in autoradiography, etc. Meanwhile, nothing prevents us from using the primary signal converters of the required parameters / variables into the optical signal. There are known: · magnetooptical converters and indicator films (Anderson, 1968; Harms, 1980; Aulich, 1980; Papp, 1980; Arkhangel’skii , 1986, 1989; Challener, 1987; Mao, 1989; Challener, 1990; Krafft, 2004; Fratello, 2004); · radiation-optical (spectro-)colorimetric converters (Apanasenko, 1981; Kulagin, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1987; Bazylev, 1992; Mikhailov, 1996; Kulagin, 2003, 2006; Kulagin, 2007; Sadulenko, 2009) and thin film scintillators (Albul, 1968; Avdeyev, 2001; Garcia-Murillo, 2003; Berdnikov, 2013; Tolstikhin et, 2014; Inami, 2015; Rincón-López, 2016; Park, 2016); · thermo-optical effect transducers-converters (Malashko, 1974; Dolgov, 1979; Pálfalvi, 2004; Liberts, 2005; Gunyakov, 2006; Nedosekin, 2007; Loiko, 2012), including thermochromic ones (Soloway, 1955; Chivian, 1972; Yang, 1979; Mazumder, 1995; Qazi, 2003; Siegel, 2009; Sia, 2009; Shelton, 2010; Qian, 2012; Heo, 2012; Zhou, 2013; Funasako, 2013; Li, 2013; Bond, 2013; Seeboth, 2014; Kim, 2014; Wan, 2015; Liu, 2016; Zhang, 2016), including infrared-sensitive metamaterials; · chemo-optical active interfaces (van Gent, 1990; Wroblewski, 1997), colorimetric or flouorimetric indicator films (Chen, 1997; Nakamura, 2003; Kowada, 2004; Lü, 2006; Thomas, 2009; Gao, 2011; Kassal, 2014; Mills, 2016; Choi, 2017) and papers (Yeoh, 1996; Ostrovsakaya, 2004; Gaiduk, 2009; Ganesh, 2014); · electroluminescent (Vlasenko, 1966; Shaposhnikov, 1970; Ramazonov, 1972; Samokhvalov, 1993; Brigadnov, 1993; Gurin, 1997; Savikhib, 1997; Zabudskii, 2000; Maltsev, 2011; Rodionov, 2013; Meshkov, 2014; Evsevichev, 2016) and cathode-luminescent indicators / phosphors (Tebrock, 1968; De Mets, 1971; Suzuki, 2009; Obraztsov, 2013; Kaz, 2013; Shi, 2014; Li, 2016) and other position-sensitive target signal converters into the optical signal[1], which allow a direct realization of the “two-level conversion” including a first conversion of the analytical signal into the optical one by the planar converter located above the photosensitive CMOS / CCD detector with the subsequent conversion of the optical signal into the electrical one by the optoelectronic converter (CMOS or CCD). The above converters being placed into the cartridge or cassette system, or the rotating disc (this is a reversible idea from lab-on-a-disc design (Park, 2012; Glass, 2012; Hwang, 2013; Bosco, 2013; Delgado, 2016)) can be replaced by one another in real time allowing to vary the measuring parameters, and hence, providing the sequential mapping and measuring of the above parameters. At the first step the single devices (chips and the corresponding readers) have been developed for the single parameter registration (e.g. a special compact device for magnetic field visualization has been designed using the magnetic film converter (flux detector) and a similar radiographic visualizer has been developed based on the scintillation plates). Later these devices were combined into a single hybrid device with the incomplete set of the primary converters for the purposes of the complex analysis (see Figures 1-3). At the final step we are going to overcome those limitations and to develop a hybrid multi-functional lab-on-a-chip allowing to perform in a single run of the cassette with the cartridges-converters the full position-sensitive mapping of the spatial distribution of the following parameters: I. spectral / colorimetric, densitometric and fluorescent parameters of the analyte for histochemistry and immunofluorescent analysis; II. luminosity distribution beyond the optical spectral range for laser diagnostics or the on-chip LDV, LDA, LDF, laser-accisted PIV; III. magnetic field for selective staining of biological tissues with the magnetic nanoparticles or for the on-chip testing of the pharmaceuticals' targeting in the external field; IV. distribution of the emitting regions in autoradiography and for the sample analysis with the radioactive contamination; V. polarization parameters and the fluorescence polarization for those cases when the rotation of the polarization plane is a diagnostic criterion, from simple saccharimetry to the chirality-based analytical methods introduced from molecular biology; VI. the slide temperature (for the living slices and tissue cultures) for determination of the biothermogenesis intensity or the redox transformation intensity, which is one of the most important diagnostic criteria of the neoplastic processes in biopsy; VII. pH, Eh, pX, etc. using discrete indicator films by the colorimetric, spectrocolorimetric or fluorescence response signal (see Figure 4). The cartridges-converters can be either built into the chip reader (the most suitable configuration for the ultracompact disposable chips without the recording and processing units) or implemented directly into the autonomic chips in the case of the autonomous reusable devices. In the early prototypes developed by the author the chip was combined with the reader forming a so-called self-reading chip capable of the telemetric data translation through a radiofrequency channel (Notchenko, 2012, 2013).frequency channel (Notchenko, 2012, 2013).)

- Water probe + (The water probe is a relatively simple dev … The water probe is a relatively simple device. Its workings rely upon the fact that pure water does not actually carry an electric charge very well. So what we’re really doing with this device is assessing the concentration of conductive particles that are floating in the (mostly nonconductive) water. Water is very seldom just the sum of its basic chemical formula: two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Typically, water is a mixture that also includes other substances that have dissolved into it, including minerals, metals, and salts. In chemistry, water is the solvent, the other substances the solutes, and combined they make a solution. Solutes create ions: atoms that carry an electric charge. These ions are what actually move electricity through water. That’s why measuring conductivity is a good way to learn how pure (really, how impure) a water sample may be: the more stuff that’s dissolved in the watery solution, the faster electricity will move through it.e faster electricity will move through it.)

=== The size ===
You need to consider the size of the tripod, not just when it's fully collapsed, but also when it's extended. The volume of the tripod in its folded form will help you judge whether it is easy and convenient to carry around when traveling or on the go.
The size of the tripod deployed will determine its maximum height, when the legs and center column are fully extended. The best thing would be to choose a [https://www.justcast.com/shows/graphicinsider/audioposts/1252258 photo tripod] that gives you the greatest possible working comfort, in other words neither too small so that you don't have to spend the whole day leaning forward, nor too big so you don't have to spend more or encumber yourself if you don't. is not necessary.
You need to consider the stability it will provide once your camera is installed. The one that will guarantee the safety of your equipment and the sharpness of your camera. The stability of the tripod with a camera mounted on it is one of the most important things to consider.
Depending on their material of manufacture, we will find more or less heavy tripods. Lightweight tripods are easy and convenient to transport but are also susceptible to movement and vibration, while tripods are heavy and provide stability and load capacity but are therefore also generally bulkier and more difficult to transport.
=== The material ===
You can choose between plastic, aluminum and carbon fiber. Plastic tripods are the most economical but also the least durable, while aluminum tripods are the most common since they can support a large load capacity but they are also very heavy. A relatively new material is carbon fiber, which makes tripods lightweight, versatile and durable but, it must be said, also very expensive.
=== Charge capacity ===
Do not confuse the weight of the tripod with the weight it can support. A tripod's load capacity refers to the maximum weight the tripod can work with, so you'll want to make sure that the camera and any accessories you'll be installing (lens, flash, mic, etc.) not exceed this weight limit. Learn more on [https://www.dzofilm.com/ dzofilm.com].
Don't venture to assemble a camera heavier than your tripod can support because you risk breaking it and damaging your camera as well.
=== Ball joint ===
This is probably the least considered aspect and yet one of the most important because it is the element that supports the camera. It is absolutely necessary to pay attention to the maximum weight that the ball head can support and choose one, if the tripod does not have one, which is balanced by the weight of the tripod legs.
The ball head will allow you to choose from several axes of movement and degrees of inclination. Most tripods include a fixed ball head, while higher end tripods allow you to change it.
=== The budget ===
Finally -and this is not the least important-, you have to take into account the budget, unless your wallet is filled like a mille-feuille. The economic aspect is practically the one that will largely determine the purchase of a new photo tripod. This will be the first filter to pass, so you will have to find the perfect balance between what we have, what we want and what we can. You'll find a wide variety of tripods (and monopods too) on Photo24, so you might just find the one you're looking for.

- Word Clock + (Well, It had to happen. I first published … Well, It had to happen. I first published my WordClock project in September 2009. It was a Microchip PIC based clock, using a PIC16F877A microprocessor. In the last year and a half, I have been constantly improving it, and have adapted it to the Arduino, and even designed an updated controller board for it. Well, It got better. I have discovered how to cut Vinyl stencils, and have been experimenting with Perspex, so I thought it was time to share what I have been playing with. The beauty of using cut vinyl as a stencil, is that you can create a clock that is up to 45cm x 45cm (or larger if you have the vinyl). My previous PCB based stencils were limited to 150mm x 150mm. As with all of my clock designs, this is completely open. I encourage everybody to make one either using the details from this site. It is much simpler than it looks. If you want, I can provide parts, complete kits, or even complete clocks from my web site at http://www.dougswordclock.com. :-) This clock uses an updated Arduino controller PCB. It has a DS1302 RTC onboard, to ensure that the timing is accurate, and an automatic dimming function kicks in between 7pm, and 7am, so you can still sleep if the clock is installed in your bedroom. It is powered from a 12V DC, 400mA power supply. I have considered battery power, but LED clocks don't run for very long on batteries, so that is not an ecologically sensible idea. My old clocks used to run from an AC source, but i moved to DC when I implemented the RTC chip. I hope you enjoy building one of these clocks, and that it inspires your own projects.s, and that it inspires your own projects.)

- The Benefits of Romaine Lettuce for Cats + (When it comes to your cat's diet, providin … When it comes to your cat's diet, providing a balanced and nutritious meal is essential for their overall health and well-being. While cats are obligate carnivores, meaning their diet primarily consists of meat, they can also benefit from certain fruits and vegetables in moderation. Romaine lettuce, with its crisp texture and mild flavor, is one such vegetable that can offer some nutritional benefits to your feline friend when incorporated into their diet appropriately. In this article, we'll explore [https://www.petfoodmark.com/blog/194-can-cats-eat-romaine-lettuce can cats eat romaine lettuce] and the potential benefits of romaine lettuce for cats and how you can safely incorporate it into their meals. === Nutritional Content of Romaine Lettuce === Romaine lettuce is a leafy green vegetable that is low in calories and rich in essential nutrients. It is an excellent source of dietary fiber, which can aid in digestion and help prevent constipation in cats. Additionally, romaine lettuce contains vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and manganese, all of which play vital roles in supporting your cat's overall health. === Hydration and Digestive Health === One of the benefits of incorporating romaine lettuce into your cat's diet is its high water content. Feeding your cat romaine lettuce can help increase their overall hydration levels, especially if they are not drinking enough water from their water bowl. Adequate hydration is essential for maintaining healthy kidney function and preventing urinary tract issues in cats. Additionally, the fiber content in romaine lettuce can promote healthy digestion and regular bowel movements, reducing the risk of constipation and other digestive problems. === Weight Management === Another potential benefit of feeding romaine lettuce to your cat is its low-calorie content. As obesity is a common issue among cats, especially those that lead a sedentary lifestyle, incorporating low-calorie, nutrient-dense foods like romaine lettuce into their diet can help with weight management. By replacing high-calorie treats with small amounts of romaine lettuce, you can provide your cat with a satisfying snack without contributing to excess weight gain. === Dental Health === Feeding your cat crunchy vegetables like romaine lettuce can also have benefits for their dental health. Chewing on fibrous vegetables helps promote healthy teeth and gums by reducing plaque buildup and preventing dental issues such as tartar accumulation and gum disease. However, it's essential to ensure that the romaine lettuce is cut into small, bite-sized pieces to prevent choking hazards and make it easier for your cat to chew and digest. === Incorporating Romaine Lettuce Into Your Cat's Diet === While romaine lettuce can offer some nutritional benefits to your cat, it's essential to introduce it into their diet gradually and in moderation. Start by offering small pieces of washed and thoroughly dried romaine lettuce as a treat or as part of their regular meals. Monitor your cat's response and digestion, and adjust the amount accordingly based on their individual preferences and tolerance. === Precautions and Considerations === While romaine lettuce is generally safe for cats to consume, there are some precautions and considerations to keep in mind: * '''Avoid Seasonings and Dressings:''' When feeding romaine lettuce to your cat, ensure that it is plain and free from any seasonings, dressings, or toppings. Cats have sensitive digestive systems and may not tolerate added ingredients well. * '''Monitor for Allergies:''' Some cats may have food sensitivities or allergies to certain vegetables, including romaine lettuce. Monitor your cat for any signs of allergic reactions, such as itching, vomiting, or diarrhea, and discontinue feeding if any adverse reactions occur. * '''Consult Your Veterinarian:''' If you have any concerns about incorporating romaine lettuce or any other new food into your cat's diet, consult with your veterinarian for personalized advice and recommendations based on your cat's individual health needs. === Conclusion === Incorporating romaine lettuce into your cat's diet can provide some nutritional benefits, including hydration, digestive health, weight management, and dental health. However, it's essential to introduce romaine lettuce gradually and in moderation, monitor your cat's response, and consult with your veterinarian if you have any concerns. With proper care and attention, romaine lettuce can be a healthy and tasty addition to your cat's diet, offering a crunchy and refreshing treat that they're sure to enjoy.You can check more details [https://www.petfoodmark.com/blog/list/1-article/p-1 from here].rk.com/blog/list/1-article/p-1 from here].)
