ngel David Revilla Lenoci was born on 16 July 1982 in Caracas.[4][5] His father was a pilot and his mother was a gastronomy-oriented businesswoman.[6][7] His ancestry comes from Spain,[7] Italy, and United States.[3] He studied at Santa Maria University, and graduated from Social Communication in 2007[7] and also worked as a journalist for a medical magazine.[5]
In 1998 created the blog entitled El Diario de Dross (The Diary of Dross),[7] whose username "Dross" originates due to a bad spelling of the name of the then wrestler Darren Drozdov, whom Revilla mistakenly refers to as Warren Droz in an interview with Radio Programas del Per.[5] Revilla started in 2000 writing scathing game reviews for websites like MeriStation or Vandal,[8] he also made some posts in the forum GameFAQs.[9]
Revilla created his YouTube account, DrossRotzank in 2006,[10] and in 2007, he moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he currently resides.[11] At first he was dedicated to uploading gameplays of different video games such as I Wanna Be the Guy. However, Dross had some videos that were older that in the end he deleted, among them is one that was re-uploaded by user Lucas Pedraza in which he calls a hacker.[4]
In addition, he made some video reactions, videos answering questions and also some sketches with his characters like "El Troll", "La Gorda", "La Chica Pepsi", "Estela Conchaseca" and "Fuyito Kokoyama".[12] His look consisted of wearing long hair, dark glasses and a straw hat with a leopard print.[13]
In mid-2013, he turned his content to horror videos,[14] and his most famous videos were the Top 7, which according to La Vanguardia, these videos "can take him twelve hours of work."[15] In 2015, Dross participated in a project called "Dross Dark Tales of Terror", where he told contemporary horror stories.[12] Revilla currently runs two additional YouTube channels: Los Vlogs de Dross (Dross's Vlogs), in which he deals with controversial issues, and Mi Querido Mussolini ("My Dear Mussolini"), in which he uploads videos of his pet fish, Mussolini.[16]
In March 2017, Dross was invited to the "La Mole Comic Con" event, which took place at the World Trade Center in Mexico City and which was dedicated to pop culture and Japanese culture. He participated in three meet & greet sessions, on March 17, 18 and 19.[17] Revilla traveled to the Horror Fest, held in the city of Monterrey, Mexico on October 6 and 7, 2018.[18] In 2018 and 2019, he won in the Digital Artist and Digital Vision Award categories from Martn Fierro Awards.[19][20][21] In 2020, he exceeded 20 million subscribers.[22] At the beginning of 2021, Dross lent his voice to a Manjarate commercial for the Chilean company Soprole, distributed through the Internet and Chilean television channels.[23] In December 2021, he won again in the category Best YouTuber of the Martn Fierro Awards.[24][25][26]
In 2015, he was invited to the YouTube Media Fest in Buenos Aires, where he stated during a question and answer session that "the biggest dream of my life is to publish a book." The people from the Planeta Group decided to speak with him to make and publish his first novel, Luna de Plutn (Pluto's Moon).[27] It was released in Spain and Latin America in 2015, and it became one of the ten best-selling Argentine books in a few weeks.[28] David reported in Clarn magazine that he "wrote this book with my real name, Angel Revilla, but I know that Luna de Pluton has drama, mystery, suspense, adventure, everything that Dross has. Above all the normal humor of my channel, black humor."[29]
All his books from Luna de Plutn to Escape were published by Planeta Group.[30][31][32] His second book, El Festival de la Blasfemia (The Festival of Blasphemy) was released in 2016, "a short story of terror, narrated from the black humor characteristic of Dross",[33][34] a sequel to his first book, Luna de Plutn II: La guerra de Ysaak (Pluto's moon 2: The war of Ysaak), was released in March 2017.[35]
His fourth book, El Valle de la Calma (The Valley of Calm) was published in 2018,[36][37] a thriller based on H. P. Lovecraft works.[34] In 2019, he released El libro negro. Deep web y horror csmico (The black book. Deep web and cosmic horror),[38] which explores the topics of the Deep Web and cosmic horror. It was the best-selling book in some countries of The Americas,[39] like Argentina from August 25 to September 1, 2019.[40] In September 2021, he wrote Escape,[41][42] a book with a disturbing story and black humor.[43]
In June 2022, Dross criticized the film Lightyear for containing a scene depicting a lesbian couple kissing, acussing Disney of "trying to clean its image" and calling the film "woke",[44][45][46] polarizing the internet, receiving backlash on social media as a result while others agreeing with his critcism to the company.[47] Shortly thereafter, he made a tweet about The Little Mermaid, in a tone in what many saw as racist and xenophobic.[48][49] In August 2023, a tweet Dross made, depicting the rainbow flag being desecrated, was denounced from Germany, on the basis that the tweet had violated the German law on social media regulations. However, Twitter concluded that the tweet did not violated neither the site's rules nor German law; Dross jokingly replied "Calm down, little Adolfs".[50]
Most algorithms for tracking objects in video consist of two components: a model of the dynamics of the object being tracked, and a model of its appearance. Often the appearance model is constructed before tracking, perhaps from training images, and then used as-is when tracking test sequences.
What if the test sequence contains appearances of the object, or lighting conditions, that don't exactly match those of the training data? Typically, trackers with fixed appearance models will perform poorly under these circumstances.
In this project we make use of the new appearance information that comes available during tracking to incrementally improve a subspace appearance model of the target. The key to this algorithm is a novel incremental algorithm for PCA, allowing for efficient subspace updates.
The raw data sequences are also available. Feel free to use them to test your algorithms. The data used in the IJCV paper are available below as .mat files, for Matlab version 7 and above, and for Matlab 6. In two cases, the original color AVI videos are avaialble as well.
The raw videos used for the earlier papers are also available. All of the test videos are provided as as .pgm image files (one image per frame). If you don't see the sequence you're looking for, please send us an email.
Looking to see what everyone is using for dross cleanup. I have been using a tool from Fireball tool. This works great and in my opinion is worth the money. They have a bunch of other great tools as well. -scraper
Sometimes a sharp rap of a hammer blow about 45 degree to the face of the cut will release some types of dross. Flapper discs work pretty well but it really needs to be 80 to 120 grit or you get scratches in your piece that are quite noticeable.
Maybe a little of both. I am very lucky to live where I do 3 miles in the sticks!!! I am what they call a holler baby . The only down side is it is a 45 minute drive to get to any store except a single gas station.
Not meaning to be adversarial. It seems that your offer for a topic is still not being used as a give and take. I am glad you like the product. The video for the device does not really show it justice.
I used a scraper for probably a year. works well but I will never go back after using a wire cup on a grinder. Scraper is ok for a few parts but if you are cleaning up a lot of parts it gets annoyingly tedious. The wire cup leaves the mill scale intact which I quite like. Or takes it off where you need to weld if you rotate the grinder.
When you begin your journey into the fields of metal production and CNC plasma cutting, you will undoubtedly come across slag or dross as one of the by-products. While this residue is an indication of productivity, it can also be a nuisance because it can have an impact on the quality of the cuts you make and the efficiency with which you function.
CNC Plasma Table Manufacturers and CNC Plasma machines for metal fabrication have revolutionized the metalworking industry by offering an extraordinary level of accuracy and productivity. When plasma is used to cut metals, slag and dross form due to the extremely high temperatures used. It is necessary to get rid of this waste material, as it is essential in maintaining clean cuts, protecting the machine and ensuring that you obtain a quality outcome, which is highly characterized by the CNC plasma cutting table.
The production of slag and dross through plasma-cutting is a natural part of the process. The appearance of these residues is due to the rapid cooling of the material that takes place among the melting of the metal by the plasma arc. Understanding the process by which slag and dross are produced might be helpful in creating solutions for the effective removal of these substances, despite the fact that a certain quantity of these compounds is unavoidable. Not only does this guarantee that the cut pieces are of high visual quality, but it also safeguards the Plasma Cutting Machines from injury, which in turn allows for an extension of the amount of time that they may be utilized.
When removing slag and dross, it is essential that safety protocols are frequently followed. Wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, goggles, and masks for breathing, is necessary in order to avoid breathing in dust and debris. If you want to avoid breathing in potentially harmful particles, it is necessary that you make sure that the surrounding area in which you are working has enough ventilation.
Slag and dross removal is a critical aspect of maintaining the efficiency and quality of CNC Plasma machines for metal fabrication. By understanding the importance of this process, utilizing the right tools and techniques, and adhering to safety considerations and best practices, you can ensure that your plasma-cutting operations run smoothly.
