Could non-invasive "vacuum" track endangered species?
One way researchers can track and monitor endangered and non-threatened animals is through environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling. For years, eDNA has been gathered from water, dirt and even plant leaves to see what has passed through that area.
Drone deters pigeons from rooftops
The system consists of a base station featuring a high-resolution pan-tilt-zoom camera that surveys rooftops for pigeon activity. Once such activity is detected, a drone is dispatched to discourage the pigeons from hovering and gathering.
Innovative new flanged multistage centrifugal pump – The MEC-MG from Caprari
Thanks to their typically compact and robust design, horizontal centrifugal multistage pumps are an ideal choice for flanging to diesel engines and for irrigation motor pump systems.
Piedmont Plastics branches out in New York
The distributor of plastic sheet, rod, tube and film has its newest branch location just north of New York City.
The benefits of slip rings for rotary machinery
