Machine vision has become an integral component of automated manufacturing processes. In older automated manufacturing lines, less efficient methods were used to corral a product part down a conveyor and into a precise position for fixation. This more manual process often required additional hardware to corral pieces down the assembly line in the proper direction or would require pre-fixturing a part with manual labor. This not only was more time intensive but also made manufacturing processes...

Hydronic cooling systems (also known as chilled water systems) are closed-loop, tempered water systems that convey heat away from a conditioned space or process, using water as the heat transfer medium. These systems use standard compressed refrigerant in tubes or coils, or evaporative cooling, to cool the water. The cooled water is pumped through the system piping to an end-point heat exchanger/cooling coil. The heat-exchanging coil surface is cooled by the chilled water. Air-to-air heat exch...

The introduction of HVAC systems established the need for duct insulation. A forced air duct system is designed to be a conduit for the supply and return of fresh and conditioned air to and from occupied spaces of a building. Insulation is used to control duct-borne noise, reduce heat loss or heat gain through duct walls, and minimize water vapor condensation. An internally-lined duct system safely conveys fresh and conditioned air, quietly, throughout occupied spaces at the correct design temp...
