Chatty factories:A vision for the future of product design and manufacture with IoT

Chatty Factories is a three-year investment by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) through its programme for New Industrial Systems. The project explores the transformative potential of placing IoT-enabled data driven systems at the core of design and manufacturing processes. The research focuses on the opportunity to collect data from IoT-enabled sensors embedded in products during real-time use by consumers, explores how that data might be immediately transferred into usable information to inform design, and considers what characteristics of the manufacturing environment might optimise the response to such data. The project also considers implications arising for skills development in the education sector as well as ethics in manufacturing. In this paper we provide a vision for future “Chatty Factories”

Measurement of the pion formfactor with CMD-3 detector and its implication to the hadronic contribution to muon (g-2)

The cross section of the process $e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-$ has been measured in the center of mass energy range from 0.32 to 1.2 GeV with the CMD-3 detector at the electron-positron collider VEPP-2000. The measurement is based on an integrated luminosity of about 88 pb$^{-1}$ out of which 62 pb$^{-1}$ constitutes a full dataset collected by CMD-3 at center-of-mass energies below 1 GeV. In the dominant region near $\rho$-resonance a systematic uncertainty of 0.7% has been reached. The impact of presented results on the evaluation of the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of muon is discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure

Measurement of the e+e−→π+π−e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^- cross section from threshold to 1.2 GeV with the CMD-3 detector

The cross section of the process $e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-$ has been measured in the center of mass energy range from 0.32 to 1.2 GeV with the CMD-3 detector at the electron-positron collider VEPP-2000. The measurement is based on a full dataset collected below 1 GeV during three data taking seasons, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 62 pb$^{-1}$. In the dominant $\rho$-resonance region, a systematic uncertainty of 0.7% has been reached. At energies around $\phi$-resonance the $\pi^+\pi^-$ production cross section was measured for the first time with high energy resolution. The forward-backward charge asymmetry in the $\pi^+\pi^-$ production has also been measured. It shows the strong deviation from the theoretical prediction based on conventional sQED framework and is in good agreement with GVDM and dispersive-based predictions. The impact of presented results on the evaluation of the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of muon is discussed.Comment: 52 pages, 36 figures; cosmetic changes of the text, fix fig.2 , fix comment on used selection cuts in the attached radiative correction tabl

Microwave resistance of metal-dielectric film nanocomposites Co X(SiO2)1-X

Penetration and reflection of millimeter waveband electromagnetic waves have been studied for thin film metal-dielectric nanocomposite Co X(SiO2)1-X materials, in which cobalt nanoparticles are placed inside of 100nm thickness SiO2 film. Microwave properties of nanocomposite samples with different cobalt content have been measured. Measurements are carried out in frequency range from 26 to 38 GHz. The frequency dependencies of transmission and reflection coefficients are obtained. Share of power loss in the samples was calculated. The algorithm for conductivity reconstruction from the transmission coefficient frequency dependence was worked out. It was found that the microwave conductivity arises with increase of cobalt content and differs essentially from dc conductivity. © 2010 EuMA.European Microwave Association (EuMA);IEEE;MTT-S;Electron Devices Society (EDS);GAA

Millimeter wave resistance of metal-dielectric Cox(SiO2)1-x and Cox(Al2O3)1-x films

Transmission and reflection of millimeter waveband electromagnetic waves have been studied for thin-film metaldielectric Cox(SiO2 )1-x and Cox(Al2O3 )1-x nanocomposite materials, where cobalt nanoparticles are placed inside SiO2 or Al2O3 films of 100 nm thickness. Themicrowave properties of the nanocomposite samples with different cobalt content have been measured in the frequency ranges from 26 to 38 GHz and from 53 to 77 GHz. Frequency dependencies of transmission and reflection coefficients have been measured. Power loss in the samples has been determined. An algorithm for recovering the conductivity from the frequency dependencies of the transmission and reflection coefficients has been worked out. It has been found that the microwave conductivity increases with increasing cobalt content and differs drastically from the dc conductivity. The obtained results have been compared to the actual measurements of magnetic properties. © 2017 IEEE.Russian Foundation for Basic Research, RFBR: 16-32-00327 mol_a Russian Science Foundation, RSF: [email protected]

Cyclic movement execution and its influence on motor programmess

Objectives. The aim of this study was to discover the relationship between the performance of different mechanical movements of rowers, and define its effect on the motor programs of the cyclic movement in athletes living in rural and urban areas. Materials and method. Twenty-two male rowers participated in the experiment using a rowing ergometer (Concept2, USA). The experiment consisted of 3 tests examining the maximal power of the pull-ups (MPbpu). The movement mechanogram was registered with a specialized complex Noraxon’s 3D MyoMotion (Noraxon Inc., USA). The software of the complex allowed calculation of the values of the joint angles from the accelerometer data. The Origin Lab 8.5 program was used for the mathematical and statistical processing of the signals from the mechanograms. Results. It was found that all experiment participants had a stepped controlled increase in the power of single bar pull-ups leading to a corresponding proportional increase in the frequency of rowing – test 1 and, conversely, a stepped controlled increase in the rowing frequency accompanied by a proportional increase in the power of the bar pull-ups – test 2. The involuntary dependence of the power and the rate was due to the peculiarities of the central cyclic movement programming, according to which the forces and durations of the active and passive bar pull-ups phases were interconnected and regulated together. The voluntary power-rate dependence control led to the breakdown of these links in the motor program of cyclic movements and to the separate control of these parameters. Conclusions. Motor programs in cyclic movement may be created in the same pattern in tope level sport and recreation, as well in different environmental conditions – gym halls (movement simulators), professional and recreational water sport tracks
