Ingredients utilized in many culinary products, such as dried tomatoes used to make tomato powder and also used in sandwiches, are made via solar drying. When compared to damp products, dried items are more expensive. Used in various sectors, such as drying floor mats, in addition to drying food goods. Compared to drying in the open sun, solar drying produces superior outcomes. We also examine the temperature change and moisture decrease rate between solar drying and open sun drying. Solar drying was created to address some drawbacks, including dust, unpredictable temperature, and pollution. In these, we carry out an experiment in which we contrast solar drying with drying in the open sun. We can maintain the necessary temperature and shorten the drying period by employing solar drying. Solar drying was used to produce a high-quality product. For best results, we employed mixed mode type solar drying on them. Climate, ambient air temperature, solar air heater temperature, dryer chamber temperature, kind of food material, and atmospheric moisture all have a significant impact on the process.
We present a new feature for endoscopy wherein an endoscopist can palpate to assess abnormalities during the procedure and can experience the visual and haptic playback of the procedure later on when the patient returns. In our prototype, tactile sensors mounted on the endoscope help gather the force information, which is not only displayed to the practitioner but is also stored for later use. The recorded event that includes the video and the force data can be accessed using an endoscopic haptic simulator to re-create the experience for the clinician to help in diagnosis and treatment. We demonstrate our concept with a 2D setup shown in the attached figure, which comprises a scaled stomach model, a Falcon robot augmented with a tactile sensor, and a second Falcon to play the event back. Finite element analysis is integrated within the haptic loop. The recorded path is displayed to guide the user.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
