ABB Provides Power Factor Correction to Wellington Cable Car with PCS100 RPC

This video reveals how the PCS100 RPC (reactive power conditioner), available from ABB, improves the power quality of the Wellington cable car system in New Zealand. The system reduces the risk of resonance problems, prevents costly outcomes due to poor factor or harmonics, ensures correct functioning of rectifier loads by fixing voltage unbalance, and lowers maintenance costs.

V-REP: Object Tracking to Demonstrate Vision Sensor Functionality

This video shows several functionality of V-REP, but the focus is on the vision sensor functionality: in V-REP a vision sensor is similar to a camera, but many parameters can be adjusted (resolution, what objects are seen, etc.) and filters can be applied: V-REP offers more than 30 built-in filter components that can be combined in any way and that allow processing a vision sensor's image, and extracting useful information (e.g. center of gravity of a color patch, orientation, etc.).
