Cardboard Eco-Bundle as an Alternative for Collation Shrink Film

Due to increasing pressure on brand owners and distributors to avoid single use plastics such as plastic bundle packaging, a new bundle packaging that consists of corrugated board only, has been designed. Obviously this new packaging should equally enable transportability. This study compares the transportability of bundles using corrugated board on the one hand and bundles using plastic collation shrink film on the other. In particular, the resistance to varying horizontal inertial forces is compared experimentally. All tested bundle packagings of corrugated board perform well above expectations and significantly better than shrink film packaging. All additional requirements regarding marketing, durability, consumer convenience, …are met.

Design and Implementation on the Wind and Light Complementary LED Lighting Controller based on Novel Base Board Packaging Technology

In this paper, we conduct theoretical research on design and implementation on wind and light complementary LED lighting controller based on the novel base board packaging technology. LED, as a kind of device can convert electric power into visible light directly the homomorphism of semiconductor devices, with high efficiency and small energy consumption, good light quality, use safety, long service life, green environmental protection, flexible control as this is common lamps and lanterns is incomparable advantage. Therefore, it is considered to be 21 century of a new generation of lighting source. Based on the superiority of LED, it is widely applied in many fields of lighting. To enhance the traditional solar based pure LED system, we enhance it with the combination of the wind power and the optimized controller that holds specific meaning.

Implementation of VxWorks in autopilot for micro aerial vehicle based on PXA255 and FPGA

The overall hardware construction of autopilot within micro aerial vehicle is presented. The boot process of VxWorks real time operating system as well as the conception and function of board support package （BSP） is described. And the transplantation process of the VxWroks operat ing system into the hardware platform mentioned above is highlighted. It is shown from the final re sults that VxWorks has high stability and real time performance, ensuring accurate flight control and a smooth flight of the micro aerial vehicle.

Recycled fibres and fibrous sludge as reinforcement materials in injection moulded polypropylene(PP)and poly(lactic acid)(PLA)composites

Wood flour or sawdust is often used as filler in conventional wood plastic composite(WPC)materials.However,there has been an increasing interest to the use of wood pulp fibres in reinforced plastic applications,because they can provide enhanced strength properties and better biodegradability characteristics for the composite.This research compares the effect of recycled fibres or side streams of paper as reinforcement in poly(lactic acid)(PLA)or polypropylene(PP)composites.Fibres from liquid packaging board and non-deinked old newspapers,and fibrous sludge from recycling processes are compared with virgin softwood kraft pulp fibres.Composites were produced by melt processing to a fibre content of 30%(or 10%fibrous sludge),and the mechanical properties were investigated.Recycled fibres provided comparable,or even higher,plastic reinforcement than virgin softwood fibres.In PP composites,the differences in mechanical properties between different fibre types were relatively small.Fibrous sludge decreased the mechanical performance of composites but can be considered as cheap filler in cases when mechanical properties are not crucial.The possibility to use low-cost materials like recovered paper or deinking sludge in wood plastic composites is an interesting option for future sustainable applications.
