Magnetic Properties of h.c.p. Fe-Ru Alloys

X-ray diffraction experiments at room temperature and magnetization measurements from 4.2 to about 1000°K have been performed on the whole composition range of Fe-Ru alloys. The magnetic susceptibility, χ, in the ε phase of 100 at% Ru to 13 at% Ru-Fe alloy shows a Pauli-paramagnetic temperature dependence at high temperatures with small negative and positive temperature coefficients for the alloys less than and more than 30 at% Ru, respectively. The value of χ at room temperature increases with increasing Fe concentration from 100 at% Ru ; the extrapolated value of χ, that is χ of the ε Fe, is as large as 10^/Oe/mole. The Fe-rich alloys in the ε phase shows some decrease in χ at low temperatures, suggesting the occurrence of metallic antiferromagnetic ordering. The reason for the variation in χ with Fe concentration may be attributed to the change in the density of states at the Fermi level due to the change of the width of the d-band, relative position of the Fermi level being unchanged because of the fixed number of outer electrons

Study on a New Train Control System in the IoT Era: From the Viewpoint of Safety2.0

Safety2.0 which advocates cooperative safety is attracting attention. Assuming that Industry4.0 proposed by the German authorities is an IoT-based production revolution, Safety2.0 is a Japanese-originated proposal that seeks to create a more flexible and sophisticated safety by introducing Internet of Things (IoT) into production sites. This chapter introduces the concepts of Safety2.0 and its spread internationally, focusing on the activities of IGSAP, a Safety2.0 promoter. Furthermore, we look back on the conventional train control from the viewpoint of Safetyx.x and look at the appearance of the train control suitable for Safety2.0 using IoT. As a result, in this chapter, we propose a simple and smart train control system unified train control system (UTCS), in which a train control system is realized in a hierarchical structure of a logic layer, a network layer, and a terminal layer, and discuss its processing method
