Sorting manual/automatic

Common to all analytical procedures (manual, automatic, etc.) is the initial careful measurement of a volume of fluid (in clinical chemistry usually blood, serum, plasma, or urine) as well as volumes of standardizing solutions the accuracy and precision of this single operation are probably the factors that most affect the reliability of the whole procedure for any particular type of analysis. Several different sorts of error may be introduced at this stage the absolute volume of sample measured for each of a batch of replicate analyses may be incorrect the variation from one member of a batch to another in respect of the volume of sample taken may be outside the limits acceptable for the analysis and, when batches of specimens are analyzed, there may be cross-contamination of one specimen with material remaining in the system from the analysis of another specimen.

The determining of sorting limits of steel parts after thermal processing in order to eliminate these, which indicate exceeded allowed content of residual austenite, requires elements of identical shape and dimensions, as the studied parts, and with known content of residual austenite. Such elements serve to define the sorting thresold, during manual control as well as automatic... 

Manual Component Separation The manual separation of solid-waste components can be accomplished at the source where solid wastes are generated, at a transfer station, at a centralized processing station, or at the disposal site. Manual sorting at the source of generation is the most positive way to achieve the recoveiy and reuse of materials. The number and types of components salvaged or sorted (e.g., cardboard and high-quality paper, metals, and wood) depend on the location, the opportunities for recycling, and the resale market. There has been an evolution in the solid waste indus-tiy to combine manual and automatic separation techniques to reduce overall costs and produce a cleaner product, especially for recyclable materials. 

Manual sorting on order basis is generally used, and the efficiency of such a sorting is often good. In some instances, it has been found that manual sorting is faster than automatic. This, however, has more to do with the still... 

You can use the LARGE worksheet function in an array formula to sort a list of number values automatically by means of an array formula, rather than manually by using the Sort... command. 

An example of this occurred during the 1990s, when a NIR imager was developed for canning companies that could detect stone pieces in peach halves. In the canning plant, when the peaches are pitted automatically the stone may be broken by the saw of the stoner a sorting step is then required to remove the residual stone pieces. The RGB cameras proved to be totally ineffective for this purpose as the stone contaminants were located in a concave area, generating shadows. When the task was performed manually it proved to be especially tedious as the colors of the stone and irmer flesh were very similar. However, as the water content of... 

An inherent advantage of this method is that data that are automatically parsed and uploaded by software agents already bring all required metadata and are dynamically sorted into the tree. Data uploaded manually to a folder automatically inherit the folders metadata. 

A sophisticated optical sorting machine will track the average colour of the product so that, even though the average product colour may change with time, the machine will continue to remove only the predefined abnormal particles. Optical sorting machines are often provided with a white calibration plate which is either manually or automatically placed in the optical view at user-defined intervals. The machine is then able to correct for any measurement drift that has occurred. 

When a general collection scheme is operated, Ni-Cd batteries are sorted-out from other zinc and lithium batteries either manually or automatically (Euro Bat Tri 2000). The collection efficiency of portable rechargeable batteries is immediately increased when such a general collection scheme is implemented. Indeed, such an approach responds to consumer s requirements for a single message on the take back of all batteries. 

The most serious drawback of manual platforms lies in the high cost of labor and the need to manage a large number of workers when considerable quantities of material are to be sorted. Such drawbacks may be avoided by resorting to automatic platforms. 

Ingots released from the casting machine are sorted and aligned on a conveyor and then can be automatically stacked into bundles. Otherwise the bundle stacking task is performed manually. 

Separation processes utilize these differences in properties directly, in the sorting processes the relevant property is measured and decision is made in which stream to place a given component of the waste. Sorting can be done manually or automatically. 

Simplified production. After sprues and runners are eliminated, automatic separators or manual sorting to separate them from the mouldings are no longer required, which makes the automation of work easier.
