How do astronauts keep their devices dry?

In these videos astronauts are drinking and playing with water.
We can see water droplets floating away to the surroundings.
Do these droplets affect the machines in any way?
What do astronauts do to prevent devices getting destroyed?

Towels. Towels are used for this extensively. Hitchhiker's Guide wasn't making this part up, at least. Here's an 10 liter spill soaked up with towels this week.

For small spills, crew on board the ISS rely on evaporation to remove water that they can't mop up with towels.



The ISS ECLSS (Environment Control and Life Support System), which consists of several components spread around the station, has 2 main components for maintaining the atmosphere: Elektron on the Zvezda module, and the Air Revitalization System (ARS) on Tranquility.



Elektron is set to remove most of the water vapor to produce oxygen for the crew. However, in an emergency, both the ARS and Elektron can be used to reclaim drinking water. (Most reclaimed drinking water that goes to the Water Processor Assembly to make it potable comes from the Urine Processor Assembly and other wastewater sources, such as sinks.)



One side effect of working in microgravity is that, if something isn't bolted down, it eventually makes its way to the life support's inlets, either to be caught by a filter, or to be processed.

    The answer is to be seen in the second video. The astronauts carefully catch the droplets with their mouth and swallow them. They should catch every single drop. The vacuum cleaner may be used too.

              The answer is to be seen in the second video. The astronauts carefully catch the droplets with their mouth and swallow them. They should catch every single drop. The vacuum cleaner may be used too.

                      How to label and detect the document text images

                      Image
                      1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

                      Tabula Rosettana

                      Image
                      Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a...
