Dr. Boyle's academic background:
Professor Boyle in 1992 with the prototype Fish Viewing Chamber he designed and built. The Fish Viewing Chamber allowed sharp images of the fish to be taken by the video camera on top as the fish were pumped through the chamber (The live aquaculture fish are unharmed by this routine pumping procedure). Professor Boyle also designed the image-processing algorithm to obtain the weight from images of the flexible fish bodies as they tumbled through the tubing and chamber, i.e., in any pose and viewed from any angle; not a trivial proposition. The motivation for this research was an optimization of each individual aquaculture farm's profits: To minimize the costs of fish feed (the largest cost item for aquaculture farming) while maximizing the growth of the farmed fish (marketable product). The research project was a spectacular technical success; this computer-vision system measured the weights of the fish with an accuracy of within one percent. |
An application of biotechnology: The Flow Diagram for the material and energy balances for the production of 680.3 kilograms per hour of Pekilo (Paecilomyces sp.) dried protein concentrate. The byproduct carbohydrate feed stream is concentrated with a nanofilter and is then sent to a continuous aerobic bioreactor where it is transformed into Pekilo protein biomass. The Pekilo protein biomass slurry exiting the bioreactor is then filtered, pressed, and dried into the dry Pekilo protein concentrate product. This product is used in the formulation of livestock feed and is also used for human protein supplements. Similar biotechnology processes are used for the manufacture of many different products, from ethanol for beverages or biofuel, to monoclonal antibodies for medical uses. |
