Potential applications for spherical robots

Spherical robot is a new structure in cooperation with a robot JGK developed a military research units, the controller is a member moving mechanism comprising a spherical shell in the general term for a class of system. Spherical robots have the characteristics of “tumbler”. They do not overturn like a wheeled or footed system in both static and dynamic situations, and have a strong ability to adapt to complex environments. The "tumbler" nature of the spherical robot allows it to be placed in a predetermined area by means of artillery launch or aircraft launch, either as a stand-alone or as a cluster.

In addition, since the spherical robot can seal all the instruments and equipments in the spherical casing, the internal equipment can be prevented from being affected or damaged by the external environment, and can be used in humid, radiant, dusty environments, or amphibious. ability. This miniaturized spherical robot has a wide range of applications on the battlefield, providing a mobile and flexible mobile platform for a variety of military applications:

First, it can be used as a new intelligent mine with maneuvering and active attack capabilities. This kind of intelligent mine can be deployed through artillery, rocket or aircraft to form an intelligent and networked minefield. Unlike traditional minefields, under the command of encryption instructions, this minefield can not only change the array but also move from one area to another to achieve maneuver defense to adapt to the rapidly changing conditions of modern warfare; Intelligent mines such as infrared and sound detectors can also be placed at roadsides, beachheads, etc., and can actively initiate suicide attacks on enemy tanks or armored vehicles.

Second, it can be used as a battlefield patrol or reconnaissance robot. The spherical robot can be balanced in any environment without falling over and so on, so it can move in complex terrain. Various types of sensors can be installed on such robots to control reconnaissance and patrol in the area where they are placed. Since the robot can be made to have a diameter of 120 mm or less, it is not easy to be found when patrolling on the battlefield.

Third, it can be used as a communication relay or information warfare interference source. If the communication system is cut off on the battlefield, a batch of spherical robots with communication relays can be launched to automatically form a small power communication network that is not easily detected. It is also possible to install an interference source for information warfare, and place it in a large amount to the enemy's position to implement interference. This spherical robot can detect and process various status information, is in a dormant state when it does not need to work, wakes up when it needs work, and can distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, so that it can be automatically destroyed or scrapped when it is not needed. For the above applications, we have mature spherical robot technology , and we can successfully develop the corresponding spherical robot system for specific applications.

Rice Cooker

A rice cooker or rice steamer is an automated kitchen appliance designed to boil or steam rice. It consists of a heat source, a cooking bowl, and a thermostat. The thermostat measures the temperature of the cooking bowl and controls the heat. Complex rice cookers may have many more sensors and other components, and may be multipurpose.  Cooking rice has traditionally required constant attention to ensure the rice was cooked properly, and not burnt. Electric rice cookers automate the process by mechanically or electronically controlling heat and timing, thus freeing up a heating element on the cooking range that had to be otherwise occupied for rice cooking. Although the rice cooker does not necessarily speed up the cooking process, with an electric rice cooker the cook's involvement in cooking rice is reduced to simply measuring the rice, preparing the rice properly and using the correct amount of water. Once the rice cooker is set to cook, the rice will be cooked with no further attention.

 

Features:

 

For modern home rice cookers, the smallest single-person model cooks 1 rice cup (180 ml), whereas large models can cook 10 cups. Commercial models can cook 20 or more cups. As a possible source of confusion, model specifications and names may list either cooked or uncooked capacity. Rice roughly doubles in size during cooking; therefore, a 10 cup (uncooked) rice cooker can produce up to 20 cups of cooked rice. The prices vary greatly, depending on the capacity, features, materials used, and the country of origin.

The majority of modern electric rice cookers are equipped with a stay-warm or keep-warm feature, which keeps the rice at an optimal temperature for serving without over-cooking it. Some gas cookers also have electric stay-warm mechanism. However, the usefulness of this feature degrades over time, a microwave may be more energy efficient or better suited to reheat rice that will sit longer than four hours.

Some rice cookers use induction heating, with one or more induction heaters directly warming the pot. This can improve energy efficiency.

Most modern rice cookers use aluminium for the inner cooking bowl. There are some models that use stainless steel instead of aluminium. Various other materials, such as copper, pure carbon, ceramic, and diamond powder coating, may be used for higher heat conductivity or better taste.

The pressure-cooking models can raise the water's boiling point higher, e.g., from 100 °C at 1.0 atm up to about 110 °C at 1.4 atm, which speeds cooking. The pressure-cooking models can also be used in high altitude areas, where the boiling temperature is below 100 Celsius. Pressure cookers are also suitable for cooking brown rice (which contains oils and bran fiber that cook differently from pure white rice starch). Some pressure rice cookers have a varying pressure control mechanism (named the "dual-pressure" method) that creates repeated pressure/release cycles during the cooking.

There also exist mechanisms to collect and return the boiled over liquid to the inner rice bowl.

Many cookers now have microprocessor-controlled cooking cycles, which are often used to adjust for rice and cooking type.

 

Applications

 

Rice cookers are typically used for the preparation of plain or lightly seasoned rice. Each rice cooker model may be optimized to cook a certain type of rice best. For example, most Japanese rice cookers are optimized for cooking Japanese rice and may not be the best for other types of rice[citation needed], although cooking time can be lengthened simply by more water.

The typical method of cooking long grain rice is boil-and-strain and/or steaming method. The absorption method used in Japanese rice cookers will produce slightly different texture and taste, usually stickier rice.

Brown rice generally needs longer cooking times than white rice, unless it is broken or flourblasted (which perforates the bran).

Different varieties of rice need different cooking times, depending on their grain size, grain shape, and grain composition. There are three main types of Asian rice: Oryza sativa subsp. indica, i.e., Indian rice (long grain rice, e.g., basmati rice and Thai jasmine rice), O. sativa subsp. javanica, i.e., Java rice (large grain rice) and O. sativa subsp. japonica, i.e., Japanese rice (medium grain rice, e.g., Calrose rice, short grain rice, e.g., most Japanese rice and risotto rice).

African rice, Oryza glaberrima, is an entirely separate species, but can be cooked in the same way. Zizania is not even in the same genus, although it is often called a rice (or "water oats"); it, too, can also be cooked in a rice cooker.

A rice cooker can be used to cook many boiled or steamed granular foods, such as pot barley, bulgar wheat, and dal. Provided the ingredients have similar cooking times, a rice cooker can cook mixtures such as khichdi. Some rice cookers can be used as automated couscoussiers, cooking couscous and a stew simultaneously.
