A process and system is provided for the manufacture of vegetable dough using only water as an ingredient of the dough, and for a time interval ranging between 5 minutes and up to 10 minutes, wherein the vegetable is selected from vegetables and grains.

A component transfer device includes an integration path through which both of a regular component and a defective component are to be transported, and a sorting gauge that is provided at the downstream end of the integration path and sorts the regular component and the defective component. A discharge path through which the defective component passes extends to incline in the width direction of the integration path. The sorting gauge includes a gauge body, a sorting path extending through the gauge body and into which the regular component is allowed to advance while the defective component is not allowed to advance, and a guide surface that is disposed at the gauge body so as to spread toward the discharge path and that guides the defective component to the discharge path when the defective component comes into contact with the guide surface.

A method for sorting bags that includes filing past flat one after the other while being separated by a gap; the exterior edges of each bag are checked to determine whether a template and a position of the bag correspond to a calibrated bag or non-calibrated bag. The non-calibrated bags are ejected and the calibrated bags are presented in front of a visual inspection system to determine an acceptable or unacceptable quality of the inspected bag. The acceptable bags are stacked and the unacceptable bags are rejected after they have passed in front of the visual inspection system.

It A waste sorting robot (100) comprises a manipulator (101) moveable within a working area (102). A gripper (103) is connected to the manipulator (101) and arranged to selectively grip a waste object (104, 104a, 104b, 104c) in the working area (102). A controller (108) is in communication with a sensor (107) and is configured to receive detected object parameters, and determine a throw trajectory (109) of the gripped waste object (104) towards a target position (106) based on the detected object parameters of the gripped waste object (104). The controller (108) is configured to send control instructions to the gripper (103) and/or manipulator (101) so that the gripper (103) and/or manipulator (101) accelerates the gripped waste object (104) and releases the waste object (104) at a throw position with a throw velocity and throw angle towards the target position (106) so that the waste object (104) is thrown along the determined throw trajectory (109). A related method of controlling a waste robot is also disclosed.

A method for treating waste printed circuit board includes carbonizing waste printed circuit board together with a calcium compound at 400 C. to 600 C. in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to fix a halogen contained in the board as calcium halide and to melt a solder of the board to allow mounted parts to be easily separated from the board, performing crushing after the carbonizing, and sieving crushed materials into fine particles of less than 0.5 mm containing the calcium compounds, medium particles containing the mounted parts, and coarse particles containing board pieces such that the crushed materials are sorted into the calcium compounds, the mounted parts, and the board pieces.
