The determination of hardness and approximate mineral composition of rocks and classifying these litholo-gies aids in controlling various processes in the plant, such as reducing the grinding process, which accountsfor ...

This paper describes a car detection method by combining data obtained from a laser and a camera. Data from the camera and the laser range finder (LRF) are combined after a calibration method has been performed. The ...

Mine operations in the future will require automatic rock characterization at many different stages, since it can be used to supervise and optimize various processes in the laboratory as well as at the mine locations for ...

Controlling microbial growth is crucial for many biomedical, pharmaceutical and food industry applications. In this paper, we used a femtosecond laser to microstructure the surface of chitosan, a biocompatible polymer that ...

Laser surface texturing is an efficient way to control the friction and wear properties of materials. Although described in many papers, most previous work relates to a pure topographic view of laser-textured surfaces. ...
