In Japan, the first urban straddle type monorail system, Tokyo Monorail, was put into operation in 1964. Since then, three more monorail systems have been constructed with the active participation of Hitachi in Kitakyushu, Osaka, and Tama. A monorail system is now being constructed in Okinawa;it is scheduled to start operation in 2003. The straddle type monorail can be constructed using the space above public roads without disturbing everyday traffic. Monorail trains with rubber tires are environmentally friendly and produce little noise and vibration. The straddle type monorail has become an important part of the urban public transportation system, chiefly because of its many advantages over other transportation means including the subway. These advantages include (1) improved environment, (2) a shorter construction period, and (3) lower costs. Thus, the monorail system in Japan is an effective solution to environmental problems and traffic congestion in urban cities, which also stimulates local economy. The demand for urban monorail systems has recently begun to come from smaller local cities where the daily ridership is much lower than that in Tokyo, Osaka, Kitakyushu, and other major cities in Japan. To enhance the financial viability of monorail construction in smaller cities and to construct smaller monorails, the Japan Monorail Association (JMA) set up a research committee to investigate the development of a small monorail. This committee, mainly headed by Hitachi, carried out comprehensive research of the market demand for monorail systems and initiated the development of a compact monorail Hitachi developed a number of new design elements including an articulated bogie to enable trains to negotiate sharp curves. We also worked to design a compact and light monorail that makes use of next-generation signal systems. These basic elements can also be used for other people-mover systems in amusement parks, airports, and business complexes.
We have developed a circuit design which uses heterogeneous pipelines and latches to maximize hidable clock skew and jitter. With it, the hidable portion of the sum of clock skew and jitter is as large as a fourth of ...

A fully automatic adjustment system for mass production of the optical head for magnetooptical disk drives is described. The optical head is composed of millimeter scale optical components, such as laser diode, the collimator lens, the object lens, various prisms and various detectors. A series of algorithms composed of measurement, recognition, calculation of manipulation, execution of manipulation, verification and fixation ensures proper adjustment of the head. The key is to process the measured value, recognize the shape of the beam and the waveform, and determine the manipulation. With this system, the adjustment process is reduced to 6 minutes, as compared to 9 hours it takes an experience worker.

In this paper, the performance of a new movable boundary accessing (MBA) technique for future integrated services multibeam satellite systems is studied. The multiservice environment considered includes both asynchronous and isochronous traffic consisting of video, voice, file transfer and interactive data. The movable boundary access technique proposed here will maximize the utilization of the up-link frame capacity. It is shown that the potential user population is substantially increased with the use of a moving boundary policy with minimal overhead.

In this paper, we study the performance of a prioritized on-board baseband switch in conjunction with a multibeam satellite handling integrated services. The services considered for the analysis include voice, video, file transfer and interactive data. The prioritized switch uses both input and output buffering, switch speed-up as well as a two-phase head-of-line resolution algorithm, in order to reduce the buffer loss while maintaining acceptable user delays. The minimum required buffer capacity and switch speed-up for each service in a prioritized environment are found under uniform traffic conditions. It is shown that under uniform traffic conditions, only minimal buffering and switch speed-up are needed even for the lowest priority users. The performance dependence on the switch size is also substantially reduced with head of line resolution and buffering even in a prioritized environment.

It has become clear that the automation or labor saving of discrete manufacturing should be considered as the total integrated system. The concept of an integrated manufacturing system (IMS) is proposed. Cooperation among each equipment is the key to integrating the production system as the whole. System control Software plays an essential role in cooperation ired has two main functions, namely, branch and cooperation control, and schedule advance control. Compact IMS application to an induction motor-shaft machining shop has successfully been done to realize the usefulness of system control software.
