Computer-based monitoring system of retort processes for energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction

Retort sterilization is critical in the food industry. However, retorts are not smart enough to fully monitor and calculate their energy usage to reduce their carbon emissions. In this project, sensors and network equipment were installed in a retort, and a PC-based system was used to process the collected data. To monitor the sterilization status and energy consumption, we added flow sensors and electricity meters and built a visual identification system. Carbon emissions were calculated, and energy conservation and carbon emission reduction strategies were explored. According to the monitoring data, the electricity consumption of the air compressor, boiler, and natural gas combustion accounted for 80 % of the total carbon emissions. If the equipment cannot be changed, the cooling water system can be stopped in noncooling stages to conserve energy. This strategy reduced the energy consumption of the cooling system by 70 % and was the most effective strategy for this project.

Selective Neural Entrainment Reveals Hierarchical Tuning to Linguistic Regularities in Reading.

Reading is both a visual and a linguistic task, and as such it relies on both general-purpose, visual mechanisms and more abstract, meaning-oriented processes. Disentangling the roles of these resources is of paramount importance in reading research. The present study capitalizes on the coupling of fast periodic visual stimulation and MEG recordings to address this issue and investigate the role of different kinds of visual and linguistic units in the visual word identification system. We compared strings of pseudo-characters; strings of consonants (e.g., sfcl); readable, but unattested strings (e.g., amsi); frequent, but non-meaningful chunks (e.g., idge); suffixes (e.g., ment); and words (e.g., vibe); and looked for discrimination responses with a particular focus on the ventral, occipito-temporal regions. The results revealed sensitivity to alphabetic, readable, familiar, and lexical stimuli. Interestingly, there was no discrimination between suffixes and equally frequent, but meaningless endings, thus highlighting a lack of sensitivity to semantics. Taken together, the data suggest that the visual word identification system, at least in its early processing stages, is particularly tuned to form-based regularities, most likely reflecting its reliance on general-purpose, statistical learning mechanisms that are a core feature of the visual system as implemented in the ventral stream.

A Principle-Based Approach to Visual Identification Systems for Hospitalized People with Dementia.

A large proportion of hospital inpatients are affected by cognitive impairment, posing challenges in the provision of their care in busy, fast-paced acute wards. Signs and symbols, known as visual identifiers, are employed in many U.K. hospitals with the intention of helping healthcare professionals identify and respond to the needs of these patients. Although widely considered useful, these tools are used inconsistently, have not been subject to full evaluation, and attract criticism for acting as a shorthand for a routinized response. In order for visual identifiers to be used effectively in acute care settings, thorough consideration must be given to the ethical and legal issues that are engaged in this context, and their potential benefits and harms must be weighed and balanced. This paper proposes a set of legal and ethical principles that can be used to guide the implementation of visual identifiers. Together, these principles provide a framework applicable in the design and implementation phases to systematically identify relevant considerations arising from the use of these tools. We outline some tensions that arise between principles and conclude that selecting a preferred moral framework could help to guide decision-making, as does clarity around the purpose and objectives of the identifier.

Brand new: how visual context shapes initial response to logos and corporate visual identity systems

PurposeWhen a new logo is released, it does not have an established meaning in the mind of the viewer. As logos have become more highly scrutinized by consumers and critics, it has become more important to understand viewers’ initial responses to logos. While other studies have researched the impact of aesthetic choices on viewer reaction to logos, this study aims to understand the effect of the surrounding visual identity system when a new logo is introduced.Design/methodology/approachThis study combines a content analysis of 335 posts on the logo review website Brand New with the voting data from their polls to understand how visual context correlates with a viewer’s initial response.FindingsIncreased amounts of visual context correlate to an improved response from viewers. Different types of context that can be presented – from logo variations and environmental examples to videos and animation – have varied effects.Practical implicationsWhen releasing a new logo, companies and organizations may receive a better response from viewers if they provide more visual context. Animations may also provide an improved response.Originality/valueThis study takes a novel approach to exploring viewer responses to logos by combining content analysis with voting data. While most studies use fictitious or abstract logo designs, this study uses actual logos and context to better understand viewer responses.

Cognitive cloud framework for waste dumping analysis using deep learning vision computing in healthy environment

Increased population and usage of more unnatural particles create dangerous waste in society. Environmental Sustainability is ensured based on proper waste management solutions. There is a need for real-time monitoring of waste dumping in the respective area to alert the individual management team to control it. We specifically investigated a solution to the issue of preventing the illegal disposal of waste in smart cities. In this regard, we will discuss the working model of an automatic visual identification and warning system. The proposed method uses cognitive computing technologies to analyze films taken by cameras located in metropolitan areas. To locate huge trash waste where it shouldn't be and alert the municipality to the situation. Initially, the proposed method develops the application prototype. Next, the Deep learning method Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) MobileNet v2 is used to detect bulky waste data. Finally, the CNN method classifies the data and triggers the alarm system. The alarm system alerts the municipality with warning sounds to remove waste dumping. The proposed method provides an intelligent waste management system and a healthy environment. The simulation outcomes demonstrate that the suggested strategy yields a superior outcome.

The Branding of Kampung Adat Rimbo Tarok Gunung Sariak Village as a Cultural Tourism Attraction

Branding is the process of building a brand to form an image or brand image. One of the thematic villages is Kampung Adat Rimbo Tarok, Gunung Sariak. This village has the potential to develop as an area that can become a thematic village in Padang City. Kampung Adat Rimbo Tarok exhibits unique characteristics, which include traditional house buildings and traditional cultural arts activities. The area of Kampung Adat Rimbo Tarok has not been significantly branded as no promotional media and information are found, and the area has not been properly managed. As a result, not many people know about the existence of this thematic village. These problems inspired the authors to conduct community service activities in this village. The community service aims to brand the village as a thematic village, a program of the local government of Padang City. The local government turns the village into a cultural tourism area. Departing from the facts described, the author intended to brand the area, starting from forming the regional brand or logo to other supporting branding media, such as an information board and other relevant media for branding design. The design stages use the 4D (four D), which is used in designing a design idea and follows stages from defining to dissemination. The expected result of these community service activities is to achieve a cultural tourism identity attached to the community, ranging from the visual identity, corporate media, and sign systems that partners or the local government can implement in local villages.

Digital dynamic visual identities : Prospects at the frontiers of marketing and design

A logo is worth more than a thousand words. But how much are thousands of logos worth? Contemporary visual communication toolkit of companies and brands is becoming more and more technology-driven and extended by Dynamic Visual Identity (DVI) systems.

THE IMAGE OF COOPERATIVE BANKS IN THE RETAIL CLIENT SEGMENT

The aim of the research was to assess the image of cooperative banks in the retail client segment and to identify the factors that determine it. The subject of the research was the actual image of cooperative banks in the retail client segment. Primary information from own research was the main source of data. The survey method was used in the research (n = 400 respondents). The following methods were used to analyze the empirical material: descriptive statistics methods and one-way analysis of variance (F statistics). Based on the conducted research, it can be concluded that the actual image of the analyzed group of banks was assessed as neutral. Opinion on cooperative banks varied depending on gender, age and average monthly income per person in the respondent’s family. As the analysis shows, the assessment of the image of cooperative banks by individual clients is performed by assessing the ability to ensure security. The elements of the visual identification system were considered the least important in assessing the actual image of the bank. In the opinion of the respondents, cooperative banks are reliable institutions, meeting customer expectations, acting in a responsible manner and solving problems quickly. On the other hand, clients did not notice the innovativeness of cooperative banks, which in terms of technological innovations are not inferior to commercial banks. Therefore, bank managers should take a number of actions and initiatives aimed at changing the actual image of cooperative banks in this area.

Consistency as a property of visual identification of the exhibition

The article presents the results of a systematic analysis of the visual identification of exhibition projects and identifies the specifics of designing an exhibition identity, which is an important means of communication that attracts visitors. Within the framework of this article, the authors set the task of generalizing the experience of identifying exhibition projects and identifying the specifics of designing an exhibition identity.The subject of the study is the identity of modern exhibition projects in Russia, Germany, Finland, Australia and China, in which all elements, from the logo, printing products, website to the design of the expositions space are interconnected and represent a single complex. The projects created in large museums with a recognizable brand and established reputation among visitors are analyzed, as well as small exhibition projects, the organizers of which can spend minimal funds on implementation. Based on the Finnish experience of designing museum identity, modern approaches to the creation of exhibition projects of various orientations are systematized, in which the exposition and media about it are designed as a single system in which shaping, typography and visual metaphors form a single imaginative solution, expanding the possibilities of advertising media about the exhibition project and using new channels of information transmission. The conclusion is made about the specifics of the exhibition identity and the factors determining it: the specificity of the exhibition as a special event determines an integrated approach to the development of identity to ensure the synergistic interaction of elements of the visual identification system.

Следящая фильтрация показаний радиолокационной станции при обнаружении БПЛА

Unsanctioned intrusion of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on the territory of the guarded object is primarily detected by specialized radio surveillance systems. The results obtained by radio surveillance systems are used for aiming of UAV visual identification and radio jamming systems. In this work, the problems of UAV detection and tracking of the target trajectory are considered. The known tracking filter systems for radio surveillance application were analyzed and a specialized matrix tracking filter system was proposed, which uses in its algorithm a dynamically changing energy potential of the radio surveillance system. The developed tracking filter system efficiency is evaluated using methods of matrix calculation, mathematical modeling, and probability theory. It has been established that the developed tracking filter system lets the radio surveillance equipment most effectively initiate trajectories of UAV, set its movement window, consider radio surveillance equipment characteristics, and approximate the trajectory of UAV at times of missed detections connected to radar cross-section fluctuations of moving targets. A high efficiency of the developed system has been achieved by decreasing the inaccuracy of the target position prediction two times in comparison with the known tracking filter systems. The obtained results allow easy scaling of the developed tracking filter system for its application as a part of any radio surveillance system.

The convolution neural network model is used to identify several typical rotating machine faults. The repeatability experiments and different training sets show that the method has good universality. A visual fault identification system is built, and the effect of the system is verified by experiments.

Dynamic Visual Identities

Recent years were marked by a growing demand for dynamic visual identities, observed not only in their increasing numbers but also in the research conducted in the field. In this work, the authors survey the current state-of-the-art, addressing the origins and history of this type of visual identity, as well as the different approaches to analyse and classify them. Current approaches lack objectivity, which is necessary for comparing different dynamic visual identities. The authors propose a novel model for the analysis of dynamic visual identities, based on the difference between variation mechanisms used to attain dynamism and features achieved. In order to assess and evaluate the model, it was applied to a set of dynamic visual identities and the results are discussed. Overall, the model allows an easy comparison between dynamic visual identities and the creation of objective categories. In addition, it is oriented towards the development of new visual identity systems and may serve as a supporting framework for designers to address specific necessities of the client, such as giving an active role to its public and fostering proximity to the brand.

Design a system for measuring individual cow feed intake in commercial dairies

Monitoring individual cow feed intake is necessary for calculating the cow individual feed efficiency. The cost and maintenance time necessary for research systems make them impractical for most of the commercial producers. We developed a measurement system with producer convenience and low investment as key design criteria. The goal of this study was to design the system and validate its ability to rank cows by their feed conversion efficiency in commercial farms. The new system consisted of three principal parts: (a) a hanging weighing system, (b) a visual cow identification system and (c) an automatic cleaning system. The weighing system consisted of hanging a single load cell to provide feed mass measurements. The image-based cow identification system (replacing Radio-Frequency Identification) entailed cameras installed above the feeding area and an image processing algorithm that recognized cows by their collar numbers. The new system worked within normal farm routines: the feed supplying truck distributed the animal feed, and a tractor cleaned feed residual. To validate the accuracy and convenience of the system and to rank the cows by their efficiency, an experiment with six scales and 12 cows was conducted in a research barn, succeeded by eight-scale system in a commercial farm with 16 cows. The feed intake of each cow participating in the experiments was monitored for one month. The validation experiment showed that the system had the following specification: scales were accurate within 120 g; the visual cow identification rate was greater than 96%; feeding duration was accurate to 52 s; and routine farm practices (feed distribution, pushing, and residual removal) continued as usual. The cost for a feeding station (utilized consequently for a number of cows) was about 1 500 USD. An example of application of the system to rank cows by their efficiency under commercial conditions was shown. The system can potentially be used for ranking cows by their efficiency in commercial facilities.
