A New Technique

To add flexibility against changes in assembly processes to a manufacturing system, we introduce artificial skills with advanced sensor-based information. Tasks are divided into a phase in local (contact) and global (noncontact) states and we developed pseudo contact point monitoring and feature-oriented coordination to achieve artificial skills for tasks in each phase. Pseudo contact point monitoring is a new technique that detects contact states by monitoring a pseudo contact point calculated from a set of observed force and moment. Effectiveness of artificial skills is shown by experimental results of stamping, bearing roller positioning, and a peg-in-hole task. Feature-oriented coordination system is a new control method that does not require prior calibration between the vision system and manipulator. We detail system possibilities and limitations with simulation.

A New Technique

Recirculation is an important factor in single needle dialysis and, if high, can compromise treatment efficiency. To provide information regarding recirculation characteristics of access devices used in single needle dialysis, we have developed a new technique to characterise recirculation and have used this to measure the recirculation of a Terumo 15G fistula needle and a VasCath SC2300 single lumen catheter. The experimentally obtained results agreed well with those established clinically (8.5 ± 2.4% and 18.4 ± 3.4%). The experimental results have also demonstrated a dependence on access type, pump speeds and fistula flow rate. A comparison of experimental data with theoretical predictions showed that the latter exceeded those measured with the largest contribution being due to the experimental fistula.

A New Technique

A new technique for tightening threaded fasteners was proposed aiming to assure the quality and the reliability in the tightening operations. The technique is based on the torque difference and the relative rotation angle in tightening and loosening process, and no preliminary experiment is required. Repeated tightening (and loosening) experiments were performed for different types of lubricant to verify the applicability of this technique. Experimental results show that the preload provided to the joint can be estimated with high accuracy and precision by this technique, and the possibility to boost the reliability of tightening control is confirmed.

A New Technique

A new technique for in-process measurement of surface roughness is introduced which employs an optical method by using double laser beams. This makes it possible to detect the surface roughness not only along the circumferential path but also along the feed direction even during machining. The experimental results show that the presence of chipping and chattering can be detected sensitively along both measurements directions and the maximum roughness value is always obtainable from the reading along the feed direction.

This paper proposes a new technique to improve the current collection performance of pantographs. For this purpose, the pan springs, which are usually coil springs, are replaced with variable stiffness devices. The device described in this paper is comprised of two air springs facing each other. This paper firstly outlines the method for the improvement for current collection performance and exhibits some numerical simulation results, which supports the efficacy of the method. It then presents the prototype of the variable stiffness device and shows its basic characteristics. Finally, it shows the experimental results of the dynamic characteristics control of a pantograph using the variable stiffness devices.

A New Technique

1. A new technique is described for recovering applied organisms from the skin and other surfaces.2. Experiments are analysed, in which staphylococci and streptococci are recovered by this technique from various areas of the skin and from glass and rubber.3. It is concluded that the surfaces examined can be arranged in a definite order of decreasing disinfectant power.4. The peculiar disinfectant power of rubber is considered.5. The deterioration in surface viability of streptococci still surviving in saline suspension is described.6. The experimental results are discussed in the light of previous investigations.My grateful thanks are due to Professor J. B. Duguid, Department of Pathology and Bacteriology, Welsh National School of Medicine, Cardiff, for his patient counsel and criticism, and to Mr J. P. Napper, Technical Assistant for his skill in making apparatus and his help in the experimental work.

Abstract Diffusive optical tomography [DOT] is a technique for imaging within the body. While DOT provides excellent results under good conditions, there are many situations (due to anatomy or other physical limitation) in which it suffers from a “limited view” problem. In this paper we discuss our work on a new technique for combining DOT with focused ultrasound to generate virtual sources of illumination. These virtual sources help overcome the limited view problem. We present our experimental results using laboratory tissue phantoms.

A New Technique

A new technique, which employs π-bond placement coefficients, is presented. That technique, in conjunction with a few parameters that are readily available from traditional Hückel theory, permits one to systematically anticipate π-bond placements for optimized lowest-lying singlet states. One may then foresee the relative magnitudes of calculated ΔHf values for selected sets of structural isomers. Structural predictions are compared with parameterization method 3 (PM3) calculations, density functional theory calculations and experimental results. Reasonable expectations for the most stable structure narrow the choice of molecules that may then be scrutinized by more exact computations or by experiment.

A New Technique

DBSCAN (Density-Based Clustering of Applications with Noise )is one of the attractive algorithms among densitybased clustering algorithms. It characterized by its ability to detect clusters of various sizes and shapes with the presence of noise, but its performance degrades when data have different densities .In this paper, we proposed a new technique to separate data based on its density with a new samplingtechnique , the purpose of these new techniques is for getting data with homogenous density .The experimental results onsynthetic data and real world data show that the new technique enhanced the clustering of DBSCAN to large extent.
