A new solid target system for the TRIUMF TR13 cyclotron that can accommodate target discs with a 1-2-mm thickness and a 28-mm diameter has been developed. The target system design is based on a modified clamping mechanism of a KF-40 vacuum connector, and comprises an easy and quick ejection mechanism for the target plate. The new quick-release target system decreases the retrieval time of the irradiated target to less than 1 minute and is expected to reduce the radiation burden to operating staff by a factor of ~10.

Thermal Hydraulic Analysis

Highly intensified neutron generator (HINEG) is a D-T neutron generator tritium target system; it can be used in researching fusion energy and advanced fission energy. The heat flux at the target plate is extraordinarily high, cooling the target plate effectively, limiting the working temperature, are the keys to keep the normal working of HINEG. This paper has simulated the 3D values of some different kind of target plate systems, using the computational fluid dynamics software and static analysis software, presented the stationary analysis results of temperature and fluid fields, as well as stress field. The flow and temperature distributions provide important data for advanced design and performance evaluation of HINEG.

To respond to changes in the requirements of the information and control system, it is necessary to rebuild the system with new functions and/or systems with a different architecture. In this paper, we propose a method that enables on-site technicians to perform step-wise migration from a legacy system to a target system without having to stop the whole system and without requiring advance preparation or support from a system engineer who is an expert in system design and development. Accordingly, we aimed to develop a technology for the coexistence of and cooperation between with target and legacy systems and cooperation test between heterogeneous systems. We implemented this method and evaluated its effectiveness by applying it for rebuilding a production line management system.

This demonstration presents the utility of USI prototyping (of computer-based systems) as a human factors engineering design tool. We will present our USI prototyping tool, its composition, and a sample application. Throughout the demonstration we will illustrate how prototype USIs can be generated quickly and efficiently for user evaluation and immediate insertion into system design. Our tool for prototyping USIs is called a “USI Prototyping System (USIPS).” USIPS is divided into four components: Imagetool, Fonttool, Dynatool, and On-Line Help. Imagetool is used to build static images of text and graphics. Fonttool is used to design the fonts used in the images. Dynatool is used to link these static images into user and event driven USIs that interface to real and or simulated data bases. As a result these USIs appear to work as they would in the target system. On-Line Help is used to provide unfamiliar users with information on how to operate USIPS. We will describe each of these components in the demonstration. USI prototyping is used to formally and informally study design options for the USI before coding takes place. As the system design is being developed, different ways of interacting with users and displaying information is studied at relatively little cost. These studies yield an effective USI design which can then be implemented. A large bonus of USI prototyping is that it enables early and congenial interaction with future users of the system. User working groups can be formed and included early in the USI design process. Since the user is actively involved in the USI design process, user acceptance problems would be kept to a minimum. USI prototyping is also used to provide rapid answers to questions arising during the system development process.

The experimental and constructive results illustrate that engineering-ceramic materials have a high potential in the field of dry running friction systems. According to first estimations, it is possible to build the vehicle clutch 53% smaller or to transmit up to 180% higher torque with the same size by an appropriate selection of the system friction pairing and an adequate ceramic design [1, 2]. The friction coefficient characteristic (decreasing friction coefficient above sliding speed) is unfavourable with regard to comfort (self-induced grab oscillations [3]) of the vehicle clutch. Furthermore, it is important to select the test procedure of the experimental analyses to be as close to the system as possible in order to obtain exact information concerning the target system.
