“…The results of the tests report that when the feeding belt speed increases, the efficiency and purity index decrease while the sorting error and error index increase. These results confirm the outcome of the trials on the Golden Delicious apples and those from the study of Nieoczcym et al [23] that pointed out that accelerating the sorting process had a crucial effect on the apple sorting efficiency.…”

Sorting is one of the most critical factors in the marketing development of fruit and vegetable and should be performed without any damage to the product. This article reports results of the development and testing of a prototype of a low-cost mechanical spherical fruit sorter based on a belt-and-roller device built at the State University of Tabriz, Iran. The efficiency and damage effect of the prototype of the machine was tested at different sorting rates on apples (Red Delicious and Golden Delicious) and oranges. Performance tests indicated that the speed of the feeding belt and transporting belt as well as the spherical coefficient significantly affect the machine’s sizing performance and damages. The results of the test showed a 95.28% and 92.48% accuracy in sorting for Red Delicious and Golden Delicious, respectively, and 94.28% for orange. Furthermore, the machine sorts fruits without any significant damage.

“…Use of an optical grading system can offer a potential solution to the prevalent challenge. These have been successfully used for the grading of cranberries (Berne, 1994), beans (Anon, 1995) and apples (Nieoczym et al, 2018). Optical sensors installed on the grading lines collect the color information of the produce using cameras or lasers.…”

PurposeOf the global carrot production, 20–30% is outgraded as carrot rejects and waste (CRW) at the primary processing level, which is partially used toward animal feed and the remaining ends in the landfills. This study was undertaken to identify the hurdles and seek potential solutions for using CRW in food processing.Design/methodology/approachCRW were procured from the processing unit in Ontario, Canada, as (1) outgraded carrots (OGCs) and (2) processed discards (PDs). The physical parameters of CRW, imperfections responsible for their separation from the graded carrots and shelf-life studies were recorded.FindingsA significant difference with p ≤ 0.05 was recorded for both the physical parameters and the nature of imperfections in CRW. Discolored carrots (42.37 ± 3.59%) and the presence of vertical splits (52.71 ± 3.18%) were among the top defects in the OGCs. In contrast, the presence of broken tips (54.83 ± 2.52%) and vertical splits (40.56 ± 2.65%) were among the primary cause for the generation of PDs. In total, five percent of CRW were initially infected, which later increased to 30% during the seven days storage period.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitation of the study was that only two varieties of carrots were considered and these were procured from one processor (the authors’ industry partner) at different time intervals of the year. Microbiological analysis could not be completed and reported due to prevailing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) situation but is included for future studies.Practical implicationsDevelopment of specialized post-harvest packaging and handling protocols and separation of infected fragments are essential before suggesting the use of CRW in food processing.Originality/valueNumerous studies report on the post-harvest management and processing of graded carrots, but limited to no studies are published on the usage of CRW in food processing.

“…According to this information, some parallels can be seen in the technical solutions all over the world. Exactly this kind of movement can be noticed in combustion engines (crank shaft -connecting rod -piston), from other examples can be mentioned, including cam mechanism, pantographic mechanism or hydraulic or pneumatic pistons performing the wanted movement [2,3,8,5]. The simplest way would be the hydraulic one.…”

This article is focused on the height adjustment of a front car seat. The goal was to design seat movement in pure vertical direction. The article begins with a theoretical introduction, in which the functions and parts of car seats were described. The next part contains possible schematic designs of a mechanism, as well as the reasons for possible changes of the contemporary mechanisms. Afterwards, some functional parameters of the chosen schematically-designed mechanism were calculated, the results could then be used for further calculations needed for the creation of a three-dimensional model of the mechanism. The article deals mainly with the theoretical principles, and there are many further possibilities for development within the subject.
