Abstract: A robotic manipulator for handling a cassette and an automated cassette transport device are disclosed, the device including a mechanical arm (1), an end actuator (2) at an end of the mechanical arm (1) and a vision-based locating assembly (3) on the end actuator (2). On the one hand, the vision-based locating assembly (3) can determine the position of a flange of the cassette, thereby identifying the cassette. In other words, the cassette can be identified based on a feature of the cassette itself. This dispense with a separate locating marker while improving cassette measuring and handling accuracy. On the other hand, transportation of the cassette is allowed by complementary retention of its flange on a recessed surface of the end actuator (2).

Abstract: A method for reinforcing and enhancing bamboo/wood materials employs a sulfuric acid hydrolysis method to prepare a nanocellulose dispersion solution; then with the nanocellulose dispersion solution having a certain concentration as a precursor, nano zinc oxide is in-situ produced on the surface of the nanocellulose; and the cellulose dispersion solution is improved by compounding. The obtained treatment solution is impregnated into the pores of bamboo/wood materials in a specific manner to play the role of filling, binding and consolidating the bamboo/wood tissues, so that the treated bamboo/wood materials have enhanced hardness, strength and dimension stability, and significantly-improved mildew- and corrosion-resistance. The method is suitable for the reinforcing and enhancing treatment of wood materials with relatively-loose texture, such as fast-growing wood and wood from a planted forest, and is also suitable for the reinforcement and restoration of slightly-rotten wood materials.

Abstract: Innovations in the area of prediction of block vector (“BV”) values improve encoding or decoding of blocks using intra block copy (“BC”) prediction. For example, some of the innovations relate to use of a default BV predictor with a non-zero value. Other innovations relate to use of a selected one of multiple BV predictor candidates for a current block. Still other innovations relate to use of a skip mode in which a current intra-BC-predicted block uses a predicted BV value.
