The existing laser marking control systems are mainly based on PC and PCI laser drivers. PC is used for editing marking information and extracting marking data. The rapid processing capacity of PC makes the laser making machine achieve faster processing speed. However, it cannot be used in the outdoors and bad situations. In older to make the laser marking system widely adapt to various environments, an embedded laser marking controller is developed. It is based on ARM9 and LINUX. It can be easily operated and can achieve wonderful marking.

Abstract PHAST (PHAge Search Tool) and its successor PHASTER (PHAge Search Tool – Enhanced Release) have become two of the most widely used web servers for identifying putative prophages in bacterial genomes. Here we review the main capabilities of these web resources, provide some practical guidance regarding their use and discuss possible future improvements. PHAST, which was first described in 2011, made its debut just as whole bacterial genome sequencing and was becoming inexpensive and relatively routine. PHAST quickly gained popularity among bacterial genome researchers because of its web accessibility, its ease of use along with its enhanced accuracy and rapid processing times. PHASTER, which appeared in 2016, provided a number of much-needed enhancements to the PHAST server, including greater processing speed (to cope with very large submission volumes), increased database sizes, a more modern user interface, improved graphical displays and support for metagenomic submissions. Continuing developments in the field, along with increased interest in automated phage and prophage finding, have already led to several improvements to the PHASTER server and will soon lead to the development of a successor to PHASTER (to be called PHASTEST).

Summary: Assessment of intelligence is often based on fluid (gf) and crystallized intelligence (gc), and - in the German-speaking countries - the Berlin Model of Intelligence Structure (BIS). As yet, however, the two approaches have not been systematically related to each other. The present study therefore aims to identify possible relationships between the approaches. We hypothesize that gf is related to “processing capacity” and “memory” in the BIS, whereas gc is related to “fluency” and “knowledge” and, to a lesser degree, to “processing capacity.” We also assume “processing speed” to be related to both gf and gc. All components of the BIS that are relevant to the present study were measured by means of the BIS-r-DGP test, which, together with “knowledge” scales, was administered to 9,520 persons in the context of personnel selection. The following results were obtained: First, the BIS was replicated by factor analysis of the BIS-r-DGP test. Second, “knowledge” was shown to form an additional component. Third, gf and gc emerged clearly from hierarchical factor analysis. Finally, with the exception of the relation of “fluency” to gc, all hypotheses were confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis.

AbstractVisual salience is a key component of attentional selection, the process that guards the scarce resources needed for conscious recognition and perception. In previous works, we proposed a measure of visual salience based on a formal theory of visual selection. However, the strength of visual salience depends on the time course as well as local physical contrasts. Evidence from multiple experimental designs in the literature suggests that the strength of salience rises initially and declines after approximately 150 ms. The present article amends the theory-based salience measure beyond local physical contrasts to the time course of salience. It does so through a first experiment which reveals that—contrary to expectations—salience is not reduced during the first 150 ms after onset. Instead, the overall visual processing capacity is severely reduced, which corresponds to a reduced processing speed of all stimuli in the visual field. A second experiment confirms this conclusion by replicating the result. We argue that the slower stimulus processing may have been overlooked previously because the attentional selection mechanism had not yet been modeled in studies on the time course of salience.

Abstract FlowCAM combines flow cytometry and imaging to rapidly enumerate, classify and measure particles. The instrument potentially increases processing speed of phytoplankton samples. FlowCAM, however, requires extensive comparison to microscopy before incorporation into monitoring and research. Past studies have compared FlowCAM and microscopy results for mostly marine rather than freshwater phytoplankton communities. We compared phytoplankton biovolume, density and taxonomic classifications between FlowCAM and microscopy for 113 samples from Lake Champlain, USA—a large freshwater system with diverse phytoplankton. Total biovolume estimates from FlowCAM were higher than microscope biovolumes due to higher individual particle biovolumes. Biovolume relationships, however, were closely correlated between the two methods. Shape-specific biovolumes from FlowCAM images slightly improved estimates compared to area-based biovolumes. Diatoms and filamentous cyanobacteria showed the strongest relationships between FlowCAM and microscope biovolumes. Microscope natural unit counts were generally higher than FlowCAM counts. Genus richness was weakly related between FlowCAM and microscopy, demonstrating a potential tradeoff between finer taxonomic resolutions with a microscope versus the higher number of particles processed with FlowCAM. Both methods produced reproducible biovolumes with replicate samples. We conclude that microscopy is more reliable when fine taxonomic resolution is needed and FlowCAM is suitable for rapid processing of major phytoplankton groups.

Halford et al. have sharpened the concept of processing capacity as applied to various complex tasks. This commentary examines the apparent contradiction between capacity theories and theories in which it is processing speed, rather than capacity, that presumably limits cognitive performance. It explains how capacity and speed often are interrelated and suggests how one might examine whether capacity or speed is the more elementary in processing.

A number of policies and standards regarding food safety issues and quality management have been established for the food industry. One of these requirements is related to the marking of food products describing the expiration date, content and quality.  The report examines the possibility of using laser technology to mark chicken eggs. The contrast of the laser marking is the main criterion for determining its quality. The study examines the functional dependences of the contrast on the main technological parameters of the marking process: laser output power (7 – 20.3 W) and processing speed (50 - 300 mm/s). As a result of the research, optimal parameters for marking with a technological laser system CO2 have been determined.

Perceived charisma is an outcome of message content and delivery, where the latter dominates the former. Framing perception of charisma within dual-process theories, we suggest a rapid processing of delivery and a slow processing of content. We aimed to track the differential processing speed of content and delivery that accounts for the delivery dominance. In two laboratory experiments, we manipulated content and delivery. Participants reported perceived charisma after viewing a presentation (Experiment 1) or moment-by-moment during the presentation (Experiment 2). The results confirmed the immediate influence of delivery on perceived charisma that was later either supported or revised by the content. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
