Nowadays there is a higher need of strict and broader legislation in waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) recycling industry to reduce environmental effects of WEEE. Environmental challenges include pollution, exhaustion of natural resources, waste management and reduction of landfills. High speed in technological development in many sectors puts many products in great challenge of obsoleting almost immediately after their purchase. In particular, this is the fate for electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). They are forever-improving and incorporate state of the art innovations. This provide many benefits; however, at the same time, its expansion results in rapidly growing waste stream of WEEE. WEEE contains a combination of all these situations, including for example, batteries, plastics of quality, precious metals and toxic soldering metals. The reuse and renovation of WEEE are therefore very critical because of its significant ecological environmental impacts. Sustainable development is not a static situation, but a state of dynamic balance between human and environmental system. The current chapter explores sustainability planning and strategies such as eco-design, and design for dismantling and recycling, and what they mean for electronic products. It examines the incentives, methods and tools for sustainable electronic product design, with particular emphasis on reuse, recycling, selection of sustainable materials and processes, and lack of resources.

<p>Technological development combined with a rapid and global market penetration has led to high volumes of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Simultaneously, the use-phase has become shorter resulting in an annual growth rate of WEEE between 3-5%, which makes WEEE one of the fastest growing waste streams. The high metal content of WEEE has been a driving force for behind the expansion of recycling industry. However, during the de-pollution process, a certain type of components is sorted out, which due to their diversity in shape, size, and material composition, cannot be assigned to any homogenous material. These components can generally be classified as complex components and include Printed Circuit Boards (PCB), Hard Disk Drives, Power Supply Units, etc. The aim of the present research is to provide an assessment of the material composition of complex components exemplified in more detail on PCBs. A set of minimal requirements has been developed in order to increase comparability of available data sets. Furthermore, a novel classification system has been designed for PCBs with according to the current recycling practices in EU. Finally, the paper provides a mapping of complex components with a particularly high content of precious metals and critical raw materials.</p>

Tire dynamic balance detection plays an important part in tire quality detection area. This paper uses the two-sided balance method to obtain the unbalance of the tire. According to the engineering practice, builds kinetic model and then introduces the calculating principle and operating procedures. In order to accurately determine the influence coefficient, a calibration method without tire is put forward. Further more, this new method is able to eliminate the unbalance caused by non-quality factors to some extent. But this method is presented based on the relative position invariance of the upper rim and lower rim, even both of them are under high-speed rotation situation. Finally, the experimental data acquired from both of the two methods are compared. The calibration method without tire is proved to be more feasible, efficient and accurate.

Freight Vehicles

With the identification of profitable freight areas and the selection of growth traffics for development has come the need to review in detail the running gear and, in particular, the suspensions of both 4-wheeled and bogie vehicles. This design review has been aimed at ensuring a high-speed capability for all new freight vehicles coupled with safety at all times, low maintenance costs, and maximum availability. After reviewing traditional suspensions, in wide use, with reference to their known strengths and weaknesses, the paper discusses in some detail the philosophy now being applied in B.R. design offices to new freight running gear, for both 4-wheeled and bogie vehicles, to ensure satisfactory achievement of technical objectives. Examples of new developments are provided, together with comments on progress to date.

This paper describes the design of an intelligent multi-gyro measurement device to measure and monitor an inertial unit composed of three dynamically tuned gyros (DTGs). A 16-bit microprogrammed control unit is programmed to fulfill the functions of signal processing, logic control and serial communication with a master computer. An FPGA, designed by using Verilog Hardware Description Language, is used to realize high speed 16-bit reversible counters for output pulses of the DTG digital dynamic balance circuits. The count values represent the angular motion of the inertial unit. A stepping electric bridge is employed to measure the resistance of thermal resistors within the gyros in a wide temperature environment. The resistance represents the working temperature of the gyros. An effective calibration method for the bridge is developed to eliminate the resistance measurement error. A test system is established to examine whether the device meets the user requirements. Results of the tests show that the device has a good performance. A trial use has proved that the device is stable and reliable and that it satisfies the demand of the user.

As part of a program to develop solid/powder-lubricated journal bearings, a comparative evaluation has been performed to aid in determining whether MoS2 and WS2 powder are suitable lubricants for high-speed, extreme-environment multi-pad journal bearings. Plots of traction coefficients, friction, frictional power loss, and bearing pad temperature are presented as a means for comparing various powder lubricants. This paper primarily focuses on experiments carried out on a three-pad journal bearing and a disk-on-disk tribometer. Results showed that MoS2 traction curves resemble that of SAE 10 synthetic oil. Unlike liquid lubricants, powder films have a limiting shear strength property. Once the powder reaches this limiting value, the maximum traction coefficient is limited and the powder essentially shears along sliding walls. Experimental traction data shows evidence of this property in various powders. The thermal performance of the bearing was evaluated at speeds up to 30,000 rpm and loads up to 236 N. Although WS2 displayed constant friction coefficient and low temperature with increasing dimensionless load, MoS2 exhibited frictional behavior resembling that of a hydrodynamic lubricating film. In this paper, an attempt has been made to provide a criterion for the selection of solid lubricants for use in those tribosystems that may be operated in a high speed/load regime (i.e., high strain rates) as an alternative yard stick to conventional comparative approaches.

Structure and principle of a new kind of diphase opposition giant magnetostrictive self-sensing actuator (SSA for short) is introduced, for which a kind of double outputs high-precision NC stable voltage power is designed. With the method of combining with the hardware design and the software setting, the controllability and reliability of the actuator are greatly improved. And the whole design becomes more reasonable, which saves the cost and improves the practicability. In addition, based on the micro controller unit (MCU) with high-speed control, the scheme design of the real-time separation circuit for dynamic balance signal can effectively identify out and pick up the self-sensing signal which changes from foreign pressure feed back. Then the SSA real-time, dynamic and accurately control is realized. The experiment results show that the voltage power can high-speed and accurately output both output voltages with high current, and that the self-sensing signal decoupling circuit can isolate the self-sensing signals without distortion
