Development of Industrial Robot System with 5th Generation Mobile Communication System

We experimented the configuration of a 5th generation mobile communication system (5G) for factory automation (FA) systems consisting of industrial robots and three-dimensional measurement sensors. We examined the configuration of system components, on the basis of which we developed an experimental FA system. In addition, we confirmed that the need for communication lines is eliminated as 5G greatly reduces the production preparation time when rearranging the parts of the developed FA system.19th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2019), October 15-18, 2019, Jeju, Kore

Formation Process of Long-Period Stacking-Ordered Structures in Mg₉₇Zn₁Y₂ Alloy Comprising HCP and Cubic Phases Fabricated by High-Pressure High-Temperature Annealing

As-cast Mg97Zn1Y2 alloy consists of α-Mg matrix and 18R-type long-period stacking-ordered (LPSO) structures. We observed that the alloy undergoes a phase transformation to D03 superlattices and α-Mg matrix due to high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) annealing at 3 GPa and above 773 K. Further, the alloy recovered after HPHT annealing, consisting of the α-Mg matrix and D03 superlattices, transformed into 18R-type LPSO structures during further annealing at ambient pressure. An fcc structure with a lattice parameter of 1.42 nm, which was twice that of D03, emerged in both the collapse process of the 18R-type LPSO structure under high-pressure, and the formation process of the 18R-type LPSO structure at ambient pressure. This fcc phase was an intermediate structure between 18R-type LPSO and D03. From the electron diffraction results, it is considered that 18R-type LPSO is continuously present with 2H including stacking faults, which almost corresponded with previous studies

Plasma and field observations in the magnetospheric source region of a stable auroral red (SAR) arc by the Arase satellite on 28 March 2017

Abstract A stable auroral red (SAR) arc is an aurora with a dominant 630 nm emission at subauroral latitudes. SAR arcs have been considered to occur due to the spatial overlap between the plasmasphere and the ring‐current ions. In the overlap region, plasmaspheric electrons are heated by ring‐current ions or plasma waves, and their energy is then transferred down to the ionosphere where it causes oxygen red emission. However, there have been no study conducted so far that quantitatively examined plasma and electromagnetic fields in the magnetosphere associated with SAR arc. In this paper, we report the first quantitative evaluation of conjugate measurements of a SAR arc observed at 2204 UT on 28 March 2017 and investigate its source region using an all‐sky imager at Nyrölä (magnetic latitude: 59.4°N), Finland, and the Arase satellite. The Arase observation shows that the SAR arc appeared in the overlap region between a plasmaspheric plume and the ring‐current ions and that electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves and kinetic Alfven waves were not observed above the SAR arc. The SAR arc was located at the ionospheric trough minimum identified from a total electron content map obtained by the GNSS receiver network. The Swarm satellite flying in the ionosphere also passed the SAR arc at ~2320 UT and observed a decrease in electron density and an increase in electron temperature during the SAR‐arc crossing. These observations suggest that the heating of plasmaspheric electrons via Coulomb collision with ring‐current ions is the most plausible mechanism for the SAR‐arc generation
