It’s like receiving your favorite package of cookies with each product perfectly shaped, sized and facing the proper direction, in pristine packaging.Creating the ideal environmentThe conditions required to create such an environment with high-precision tooling operated by robotic limbs at high-speed and high-performance are extremely difficult to attain in situations where particle dust and/or leftover residues are abundant. One of the biggest problems most assembly lines encounter in today's fast-turnover production environments is the cross-contamination of materials from other robotic-assisted processes that occur elsewhere along the supply and assembly lines. Consider the following environmental conditions in food manufacturingAs cookies movie along a conveyer belt and into a vibratory bowl feeder, the resulting rotational and centrifugal forces cause the delicious sweets to bump along the sides of the feeder panels and into each other; thus a crumb trail begins to appear. The once perfectly-shaped cookie becomes asymmetrical, and picks up debris along its path.How to create a no-crumbs process Photosensitive sensors can be deployed along the supply line to detect residue and ensure material integrity. Some sensors are equipped with infrared high-performance LEDs, allowing for cleaning cycles, as sanitation and consistency of products are key factors in the automation of industrial food processing. While the growing demand for various shapes and sizes of food products continues to increase the diversity of manufacturer selections, reducing the crumb trail left behind by part-feeding systems through light sensors has the potential not only to minimize cross-contamination, but to get one step closer to that consistently-perfect cookie!Find out more about part-feeding solutions that avoid the crumb trail.          Sources:https://www.di-soric.com/static/pages/2019/09/mz_en.htmlhttps://www.autodev.com/vibratory-parts-feeding-tips/parts-feeding-tip-eliminating-dead-spotshttps://www.hoosierfeedercompany.com/food-and-beverage  - [Why the turkey WASN’T proposed as the bird for America’s Great Seal, and other surprising turkey facts](https://trelectronic.com/article-why-turkey-wasnt-proposed-bird-americas-great-seal-and-other-surprising-turkey-facts/): Although it isn’t true that Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be used on America’s seal, it is true that he felt the turkey would be a better choice than the bird that has become a symbol of America’s strength and freedom, the bald eagle.As a member of the original committee tasked with working on the design for the Great Seal, Franklin’s suggestion was actually a Biblical scene, depicting Moses standing on shore and extending his hand over the sea, in what he felt was a strong depiction of the motto, “Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” Many years later, after seeing the final design for the Great Seal featuring the bald eagle, Franklin wrote to his daughter:I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly… The turkey is, in comparison, a much more respectable bird, and a true original native of America.While the turkey didn’t find its place on America’s seal, it has found a place of honour on tables as the focus of the Thanksgiving feast. In fact, Americans eat 46 million turkeys each Thanksgiving, another 22 million for Christmas dinners, and 19 million at Easter.Here are some other curious facts about the Thanksgiving bird: - [Visitors discover TR Electronic innovation and opportunity at PCC Oktoberfest](https://trelectronic.com/article-visitors-discover-tr-electronic-innovation-and-opportunity-pcc-oktoberfest/): Members of the TR Electronic team recently attended PCC Oktoberfest for the fifth consecutive year.

Broomsticks in flight. Black cats curled up by a fire that’s heating a cauldron filled with a bubbling, spooky potion. Many myths and assumptions come to mind when one thinks of witches. The reference to Salem Witch Trials brings to mind the persecution of witches in Salem, Massachusetts, along with the assumption that those found guilty of the crime of witchcraft were burned at the stake. But this too is a myth, as are other things believed to be true about the witch trials in Salem.Here are three common so-called facts about the Salem Witch Trials that are actually myths.Trials spurred by religious beliefs and paranoiaOf course religion played a part in the trials, but with a war raging in nearby areas, refugees fled to the other colonies, including colonial Salem Town. The displaced people drew upon the town’s resources, creating concern among the town’s Puritans about access to the area’s wealth and agriculture. In fact, the wife of one of the town’s religious officials, Minister Cotton Mather, was one of the women accused during the trials. The idea that religion fueled the accusations, trials and resulting executions, is likely linked to the European history, where tens of thousands witches were executed in the name of Christianity.Salem witches were burned at the stakeThis myth is also probably rooted in the European history. Think of Joan of Arc, whose story of being convicted of witchcraft and burned at the stake is widely known. From the 1300s to the 1600s in particular, many convicted witches across Europe were burned (at the stake, or otherwise), but in the case of the Salem Witches, 19 of those who were found guilty were hanged on a ledge overlooking the town, and some died during their time of imprisonment.The only victims were women (and, therefore, humans)The focus always seems to be on witches – females – as the victims of the witch trials in Salem. But, there were wizards, too. A number of men were also accused, five of whom were among the 19 people executed. But not being human didn’t guarantee safety from accusations or the consequences. Two canines were accused of causing children to convulse, and both were killed as a result.Find out more about the bewitching history of the Salem Witch Trials. - [The digital (mis)information age](https://trelectronic.com/article-digital-misinformation-age/): When German inventor Johannes Gutenberg invented the modern printing press 560 years ago, it was a painstaking task to arrange wooden block letters to form words for transfer onto paper. Hours of work could be wasted due to a spelling error or an incorrect sentence, requiring additional work before publication. People have been fascinated with publications since before the existence of the printing press – from classic writings to academic journals to sensationalistic fake news, the printed word has an important and significant impact on our mainstream culture.Fast-forward to today’s digital information age and we see that an ever-growing consumption for news and articles has exploded wildly beyond the ability of Gutenberg’s machine to create even one page! It would be almost impossible to think of Twitter’s thousands of 140-character limit posts without its audience and their need for rapid message fragments while communicating their likes, dislikes and experiences. The ubiquity of media news that’s published by just about anyone who has access to the internet and a social media platform has dramatically changed the way legitimate and false information circulates.Many North Americans distrust their media news sources, especially from social media sitesIn a recent poll, Ipsos and CIGI reported that 90% of Canadians have fallen for fake news online. By comparison, Americans see made-up news as one of the 5 biggest problems that affects their confidence in society, according to a recent Pew Research Center (PRC) survey. Both percentages are significant because target audiences can be manipulated through rhetoric that aims to spread mass-misinformation.PRC reports that “U.S. adults who prefer to get their news through social media are more likely to share fake news than those who prefer to get news via conventional methods, such as newspapers, TV or websites.” Despite this, the circulation of traditional newspapers is decreasing. According to data obtained from numerous sources, including the former Newspaper Association of America,  the estimated total U.S. daily newspaper circulation (print and digital combined) in 2018 was 28.6 million for weekday and 30.8 million for Sunday, down 8% and 9%, respectively, from the previous year. Weekday print circulation decreased 12% and Sunday print circulation decreased 13%.”Although traditional newspaper readership has declined compared to the growth of online media news prevalently found on social media and other platforms, the transition from the printed page to the virtual page has transcended many challenges. In today’s world, spotting illegitimate news has become a task for technology such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data.A Forbes column by Bernard Marr mentions the use of virtual tools to combat the dissemination of misinformation. Hoaxy, Snopes, CrossCheck, CrowdTangle, Spike, Google Trends, Hearken’s Engagment Management System, Meedan’s Check and Le Monde’s Le Décodex, among other resources can help readers become more aware of their sources and validate their opinions with facts and sound research.    Since the invention of the modern printing press, the power for disseminating information has been at the fingertips of those working closest to the source material. Learning to navigate through today’s polluted environment of made-up news and illegitimate sources and taking the time to research a story by cross-referencing and validating multiple sources is a sound strategy before discussing opinions based on a social media post.                           Sourceshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_accesshttps://www.rand.org/pubs/papers/P8014/index2.htmlhttps://www.journalism.org/fact-sheet/newspapers/https://web.stanford.edu/~gentzkow/research/fakenews.pdfhttps://channels.theinnovationenterprise.com/articles/how-can-artificial-intelligence-combat-fake-newshttps://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/fake-news-facebook-twitter-poll-1.5169916https://www.journalism.org/2019/06/05/many-americans-say-made-up-news-is-a-critical-problem-that-needs-to-be-fixed/https://www.cnet.com/news/fake-news-more-likely-to-spread-on-social-media-study-finds/https://www.forbes.comhttps://trelectronic.com/sites/bernardmarr/2017/03/01/fake-news-how-big-data-and-ai-can-help/#4c63a59070d5https://meedan.com/en/check/www.wearehearken.com/https://hoaxy.iuni.iu.edu/www.pheme.eu/https://www.snopes.com/https://trends.google.com/trends/?geo=UShttps://www.crowdtangle.com/https://www.lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/article/2017/01/23/le-decodex-un-premier-premier-pas-vers-la-verification-de-masse-de-l-information_5067709_4355770.htmlhttps://www.newswhip.com/blog/  - [Meet our newest distributor!](https://trelectronic.com/article-meet-our-newest-distributor/): We’re thrilled to announce I & C Sales North will represent our products in Michigan. Backed by almost 4 decades serving the Michigan area, the distributor demonstrates a solid understanding of area industry needs and a proven ability to deliver quality process instrumentation and controls. Vice President of Sales and Marketing for I&C Sales, Jeremy Lovell, says their experienced sales team is a great asset. “Our sales people are experienced in product applications related to customer requirements.

But, despite the pomp of the annual celebrations that claim to mark the day America gained its independence from the British rule, the fact is that America was still made up of British colonies on July 4, 1776 – and remained so for years to follow.There are a few reasons why July 4th isn’t the true day of America’s independence. Continental Congress voted in favor of independence on July 2nd, and President John Adams believed that July 2nd would become the recognized holiday. It was on that day that the first draft of the independence document was drafted. Congress approved a revised version on July 4th, and while some members signed the document that day, not all members did. The final reading of the declaration occurred on July 8th, and some members who were present at a meeting on August 2nd signed the document that day. Secret Congress journals published in 1821 indicate that delegates from New York did not agree to sign until July 15th, and other members signed in August. While there seems to be an assumption that a ceremonial signing of the document took place, and that the date of this signing is celebrated annually on “Independence Day,” no such official or ceremonial event took place.Although Congress asserted their desire and plans for independence from British rule, it was ignored by King George III, and the Revolutionary War continued. The King made no mention of the existence of the Declaration of Independence until October of 1776, and America didn’t officially become an independent country until the signing of the Treaty of Paris, which ended the war and separated the colonies from Britain, on September 13, 1783 – more than 7 years after the writing of the declaration. The “beginning” of independence, not its official achievement, is what is celebrated on the Fourth of July each year.      Sources:https://bestlifeonline.com/americas-biggest-lies/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signing_of_the_United_States_Declaration_of_Independence        - [Need a replacement for the SIMODRIVE POSMO?

Like all magnetostrictive measuring systems from TR Electronic, the LM_S 34 functions free of friction. The position is transmitted by a movable permanent magnet. These magnets are available as sliders that slide on the profile housing of the LM_S 34 or as block magnets which have to be guided by the mechanics of the measured axis. The latter solution even allows for "overriding" of the sensor end. This makes it possible to realize innovative machine concepts in which the same sensor system is used.Linear displacement measuring systems based on magnetostriction detect the position of moving machine parts. TR Electronic currently offers both: the industrial solution LM_I 46 with resolutions of 0.001 mm, which can also be directly equipped with Industrial Ethernet, and the basic LM_B 48 solution that has a measuring range of 2.5 m and with a resolution of 0.1 mm. The new LM_S34 closes gap between these two series. The LM_S 34 offers a flat profile housing for machine installation. Measuring lengths are available up to 3 m in increments of 5 mm and the LM_S 34 achieves a resolution of 0.01 mm. The measuring system is noticeably smaller than Series 48 or 46 mm of the other families.Search our product listings.

But the name is ironic, because the land on the world's largest island is covered almost entirely with ice.81% of Greenland is covered by the Greenland Ice Sheet – a mass of ice that contains approximately 2.85 million cubic kilometers of water and covers 1,710,000 square kilometers. If the ice sheet melted, the sea level would rise by around 24 feet. The island boasts one of the highest shares of renewable energy in the world at 70%, mostly from hydropower.Various Inuit tribes were the original inhabitants of Greenland, until Norway's Erik Thorvaldsson (Erik the Red) became the first European settler and, in an attempt to attract more settlers to the area, named the area Greenland to make it sound like a desirable place to live. Find out why the area is called Greenland despite its ice-covered terrain. - [A View of the Past — No Time Machine Required](https://trelectronic.com/article-view-past-no-time-machine-required/): You don’t need a time machine to look into the past.While you would need a time machine to experience the past, all you need to do to see the past is to look up at the night sky. Because of the distance between objects in our solar system and other areas of space from earth, it takes an amount of time for the light that we see when looking at stars and planets to reach us – so by the time we see it, we are actually looking at a view of the past.Here on earth, we usually talk about distances in terms of miles or kilometers. Perhaps it’s that you walk 2 miles to and from work, or you drive 250 kilometers to your cottage. Using these measurements makes sense because typically, the distances aren’t very large, so the numbers are easy to understand. While we can still use these numbers for distances in space, the numbers become quite large because of the vast amounts of distance involved. For example, even staying within our own solar system, the sun is 150 million kilometers (93 million miles) away from earth. This means it takes a bit more than 8 minutes for the light emitted by the sun to reach us – so, by the time it arrives, it’s from the past.Because of the vast distances, we often use the light-year as a unit of measurement instead of miles or kilometers. A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is 9.46 trillion kilometers (or, 5.88 trillion miles). The Andromeda Galaxy, which is the closest galaxy to ours, is 2.5 million light-years away. Considering this, it’s understandable that using miles or kilometers to measure this would be difficult. A view of Andromeda today is actually from 2.5 million years ago, because that is how long the light takes to reach us here on earth.The farthest known galaxy in the observable universe is called GN-z11. Viewing this galaxy today is actually viewing it as it was 13.4 billion years ago; however, due to the expansion of the universe, the galaxy has “moved’ and is now 32 billion light-years away, so light that is emitted from that galaxy now will take 32 billion years to reach earth.In case you’re wondering, 32 billion light-years is equivalent to approximately 302,743,375,123,000,000,000,000 kilometers, or 188,116,011,942,000,000,000,000 miles. (So, you can see why we use light-years of measurement, instead!) - [Messages from Space](https://trelectronic.com/article-messages-space/): Astronomers are trying to decipher sound waves that some believe could be messages from other galaxies after a radio pulse – also known as a Fast Radio Burst, or FRB – was detected and located by a radio telescope. - [Ever wish you could have ultraviolet or infrared vision?](https://trelectronic.com/article-ever-wish-you-could-have-ultraviolet-or-infrared-vision/): Going beyond what the eye can seeForget about Kodak, Nikon, Fuji, Canon and any other major lens companies. Nature is still the best vision manufacturer in the world. Regardless of the size or the angular degree of concavity, the light-capturing instrument we call the eye is both adaptive and one of the most complex biological systems functioning in our visually stimulating environment.Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have ultraviolet (UV) or infrared (IR) vision?From mollusks living in the depths of the sea to birds of prey soaring high above us, nature’s eyes, offer the widest and wildest variety of lenses. While our imaginations may have us contemplating superhuman abilities, actual beings exist that roam this planet with vision capable of putting the most sophisticated camera lenses to shame.The peacock mantis shrimp (odontodactylus scyllarus) has the most complex ocular structures in the animal kingdom, comprising millions of light-sensitive cells. Boasting 16 colour-receptive cones (compared to humans, who have just three), this crustacean can perceive ten times more colour than a person, including the ultraviolet spectrum.Soaring above the clouds, eagles’ eyes are known for their exceptional long-distance vision. They can see clearly about 8 times farther humans can, and are able to spot prey at a 2-mile range. Their eyes’ photoreceptors, just like those of the peacock mantis shrimp, allow eagles to see in UV light. However, their biggest limitation is night vision.Keeping up with natureOwls may not soar as high as eagles, but their binocular, nocturnal vision is more sophisticated than any low-light photosensitive lens. Their eyes have a reflective surface behind their retina through a thin layer that allows for the collection of surrounding light at twice the amount of other bird species. Because they have more rods than humans do, they have greater light sensitivity.Since the human ocular anatomy limits us in comparison to other species, we have devised camera-like lenses and instrumentation to help us detect and perceive beyond our range of visible light. Machine vision (MV) systems, for instance, help us with industrial applications we have created to better manipulate the products we use and consume.So what is machine vision and why should we care about it? MV was engineered as part of a larger solution that extends beyond our limited abilities to see, perceive and detect imperfections in our manufacturing and industrial automation processes. A machine vision system may include cameras, lenses, lighting devises, computers and software (for both image analysis and processing), databases (for matching patterns/algorithms for comparisons), and output components (such as a screen or signal dial) that present the data obtained from the configuration of the system.As artificial intelligence (AI) advances and becomes widely adopted by businesses worldwide, a demand for sophisticated equipment manufacturing, advanced-level programming and applied engineering will enhance our abilities to see the once-invisible features of our industries. This can help us improve existing processes while reducing unnecessary waste and production time.Extending our visionJust as our crustacean and bird friends naturally navigate through their world using their visual systems to survive, our artificial world of virtual augmented reality, robotics and precision-measuring devices such as lasers and ultraviolet lighting continue to extend our proverbial vision into a not-so-unforeseeable future of technological achievements. Further readingwww.answersingenesis.org/human-body/eyes/diversity-of-eyes-in-nature-evolution/www.aqua.org/Experience/Animal-Index/peacock-mantis-shrimpwww.assemblymag.com/ext/resources/White_Papers/Sep16/Introduction-to-Machine-Vision.pdfwww.clearviewimaging.co.uk/blog/the-difference-between-computer-vision-and-machine-visionwww.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_visionwww.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye#Typeswww.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisheye_lenswww.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_visionwww.nature.com/news/mantis-shrimp-s-super-colour-vision-debunked-1.14578www.owlpages.com/owls/articles.php?a=5www.teledynedalsa.com/en/learn/knowledge-center/machine-vision-101-an-introduction/www.thomasnet.com/articles/custom-manufacturing-fabricating/machine-vision-systemswww.vision-systems.com/home/article/16737654/applying-ultraviolet-lighting-in-machine-vision-applicationswww.youtube.com/watch?v=atoUpGgw2fE  ## Products -
