In recent years, there has been extensive utilization of actuators driven by artificial muscles in wearable devices. However, the muscle distribution configurations most devices have specifically designed and are difficult to generalize. Consequently, that allow direct installation onto existing clothing better suited for a wider range application scenarios. This letter presents development evaluation Funabot-Suit, human configuration inspired assist device employs McKibben induce natural...
A 14-stage axial flow compressor was newly designed and tested for developing an advanced industrial gas turbine. In order to achieve a high thermal efficiency required the new turbine, needed have significantly higher pressure ratio than those of existing engines. The design methodology used this based on automated airfoil geometric optimization system combined with 3D-CFD analysis, which resulted in arbitrary shaped most blade rows. multi-stage CFD analysis effectively adjust loading...
In this letter, we propose to turn various existing cloths, especially functional into actuators by combined embroidery technology and thin McKibben artificial muscles. Most of the textile sensors so far are made weaving active yarns each other or base cloths. These devices have a limited choice cloths that can be actuated. We create prototypical actuator deformed in three dimensions using muscles techniques on cloth used for hook-and-loop fasteners textiles observe pressure. Our...
Abstract Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by the presence of medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, Marfan-like fatigue, peculiar face with thickening lips, mucosal neuromas on lips and tongue, gastrointestinal phenomena. Most patients harbor pathological variants RET gene. Herein, we present first case 14 year-old boy who experienced small intestinal volvulus along megacolon, he was diagnosed multiple 2B. The patient complained...
Two types of DD neutron energy spectrometer (NES) are under development for deuterium plasma operation in KSTAR to understand behavior beam ions the plasma. One is based on state-of-the-art nuclear emulsion technique. The other a coincidence detection recoiled proton and scattered caused by an elastic scattering incident neutron, which called associated particle counting-NES. prototype NES systems were installed at J-port 2012. During 2012 2013 experimental campaigns, multiple...
In this paper, a swimming robot capable of rapid turns not only horizontally but also vertically in an underwater environment is proposed. The utilizes wire-driven continuum water jet nozzle, which can be oriented arbitrary direction and allows the to turn small radius. study, deformation characteristics nozzle were first experimentally investigated, was then implemented robot. performance investigated environment. results indicated that it high angular velocity, could accomplish 180 degree...
In recent years, there has been a growing demand for teleoperation in immersive spaces. Users wear head-mounted display the spaces to obtain visual information from all directions. However, they often lose sight of target object owing large amount obtained information. Therefore, this study proposes novel system physically guide user's gaze without using by fabric actuator suit. A fitting algorithm is implemented proposed suit along with pressure control method and subject experiments are...
Changes in organizational goals companies affect various metric values related to software development; however, few methods are available evaluate the impact of such changes. Therefore, we propose a method divide collected before and after change goals, construct Bayesian network analyze causal relationship between values, compare results change. In this study, changes from 2016 2020 for person-hours, number bugs, etc. projects development cloud services that support real estate industry,...
Ohba, H. Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. Susei, S. Sakai, Y. Atsuta, T. Ohkuma, Ohminami, R. Tamura, A. This paper discusses the development of casting leg nodes for a jackup rig. Two types were designed, based on theoretical analysis. A low-alloy cast steel with high tensile strength, ample fracture toughness, and weldability was developed. number molded to study workability in casting, their strength confirmed by full-scale tests three nodes. Introduction With continuing progress ocean oil...
