When developing a high-speed contact suspension for railways electrified with alternating current, it is important to ensure that the electric rolling stock passes the neutral insert without turning off the current and without reducing the speed of movement. The article provides an analysis of previously developed devices in the field of power supply of electrified railways of single-phase alternating current, in which an attempt was made to pass an electric rolling stock of a neutral insert without disconnecting the load. The device of isolating coupling of a catenary and a neutral insert for high-speed railway lines electrified on alternating current is described. In this case, the passage of the neutral insert is carried out under current and braking of the electric rolling stock will not occur. Among other things, to improve the efficiency of high-speed contact suspension for railways electrified with alternating current, it is proposed to use new materials and new technologies that can be used in the device of insulating coupling of the catenary

ABSTRACTRapid progress in photorefractive polymers includes new materials with improved response rates. We briefly review recent developments in this rapidly evolving area and report grating formation with a 2-millisecond time-constant, the fastest reported to date in any photorefractive polymer.

Aluminum and other materials are used more widely with the improvement of car’s weight reduction requirements and the high speed development of new materials. Differential housing is one of the important parts of automobiles drive axle, it is still heavy despite many optimization and improvement because that it is produced by ductile iron. Aluminum alloy material used in the differential housing are studied with FEA. The analysis results show that the weight is reduced by 60%, and a reference is provided for the lightweight of automobile.

AbstractReliability testing often manifests device weaknesses and failure mechanisms. As new materials and structures are developed, creative and different testing is often necessary to determine reliability. We are developing an in-house reliability test system that will provide the necessary testing flexibility of HEMT devices so researchers can pinpoint defects and vulnerabilities. Using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) power supplies and data acquisition equipment, a custom control system allows for many different tests: DC and RF, temperature, step/stress/recovery, high-speed pulse, and optical pumping, as well as combinations and automated sequencing of these tests. This flexibility allows for the creation of new test types as failure mechanisms are understood. The initial station will provide for the simultaneous, independent testing of 16 devices. This paper outlines the system design and capabilities, the motivation for the system, and some results from different tests.

Carbon-based materials offer a number of exciting possibilities for both new science and applications. Many of these are based on the novel band structure of graphene, by which solids mimic the properties of relativisitic fermions and which offers the potential for high speed nanoscale electronics. When sheets of graphene are rolled up to make carbon nanotubes, further interesting properties are found; for example, both semiconducting and metallic nanotubes able to be produced. The novel properties of these new materials, together with the already remarkable properties of diamond itself, are discussed by a series of experts who came together in May 2007 to discuss and debate the potential for future development.

Most microelectronics devices and circuits operate faster, consume less power, execute more functions and cost less per circuit function when the feature-sizes internal to the devices and circuits are made smaller. This is part of the stimulus for the Very High-Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) program. There is also a need for smaller, more sensitive sensors in a wide range of disciplines that includes electrochemistry, neurophysiology and ultra-high pressure solid state research. There is often fundamental new science (and sometimes new technology) to be revealed (and used) when a basic parameter such as size is extended to new dimensions, as is evident at the two extremes of smallness and largeness, high energy particle physics and cosmology, respectively. However, there is also a very important intermediate domain of size that spans from the diameter of a small cluster of atoms up to near one micrometer which may also have just as profound effects on society as “big” physics.

One of the most important requirements for a high-performance EM, especially an analytical EM using a fine beam probe, is to prevent specimen contamination by providing a clean high vacuum in the vicinity of the specimen. However, in almost all commercial EMs, the pressure in the vicinity of the specimen under observation is usually more than ten times higher than the pressure measured at the punping line. The EM column inevitably requires the use of greased Viton O-rings for fine movement, and specimens and films need to be exchanged frequently and several attachments may also be exchanged. For these reasons, a high speed pumping system, as well as a clean vacuum system, is now required. A newly developed electron microscope, the JEM-100CX features clean high vacuum in the vicinity of the specimen, realized by the use of a CASCADE type diffusion pump system which has been essentially improved over its predeces- sorD employed on the JEM-100C.
