March 30, 2004: Short Course on City Logistics will be conducted by Prof. Eiichi Taniguchi, Department of Urban Management, Kyoto University and Dr. Muneo Momozawa, Deputy Director of Maintenance and Facility Department, Hanshin Expressway Public Corporation. The course will be held at 9:00 a.m. in room N-250, SCE Building.
Abstract
This short course focuses on the concepts of city logistics for establishing efficient and environmentally friendly urban freight transport systems. Some policy measures and modelling city logistics will be highlighted. In particular models for ITS based vehicle routing and scheduling with time windows will be discussed in the course. As well a talk will demonstrate traffic control systems for Hanshin Expressway in Osaka area.
April 8, 2004: Special Seminar on ELID-a Nano Removal Process for Extra Hard Materials will be conducted by Dr. Ioan D. Marinescu, AIT Visiting Professor & Fulbright Fellow and Professor and Director, Precision Micro-Machining Center, College of Engineering
University of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio, USA . The seminar will be held at 11:00 a.m. in Room IE-106, Chalerm Prakiat Building.
All Microelectronics and ISE students are expected to attend. Interested persons are welcome.
Abstract:
ELID stays for ELectrolytic In-Process Dressing and it is a new technology developed about 10-15 years ago in Japan. It is a grinding process that employs metal bonded abrasive wheels continuously in-process dressed by the mean of an electrolytic process. ELID uses electrochemical electrolysis to remove the metal bonds and worn diamond particles, to expose the fresh diamond grains, and to restore the efficiency during grinding operation.
ELID grinding can produce ultra precision grinding performances for extra hard materials at nanometer level. The obtained surface is a mirror like surface with roughness at nano and sun-nanometer level.
The seminar will present the fundamental of the ELID process together with stock removal mechanism and physics and chemistry involved in this mechanism. Constructive solutions of the ELID components will be presented together with case studies for materials like glass, ceramics, sapphire, and AlTiC.
