At present, much attention is paid to improving the production of synthetic rubbers. The introduction of new technologies to increase the productivity of the process, more fully and rationally use valuable hydrocarbon raw materials, reduce environmental pollution and improve the quality of the products is an important and urgent task. Equally important in this case is the selection of new coagulating agents used in the technology of rubber release from latex. The main requirements for coagulating agents used in the technology of rubber release from latex are: availability, low cost, non-toxicity, ease of cleaning of sewage coming to treatment facilities from them. The possibility of application of the beet-sugar production waste - molasses for beet-lean depletion - in the technology of producing butadiene-styrene rubber SKS-30 ARC has been studied. A feature of the behavior of molasses, as a coagulating agent, is shown when isolating rubber from latex. It has been established that the consumption of molasses in the isolation of butadiene-styrene rubber from latex is closely related to the consumption of acidifying agent - sulfuric acid. The higher the molasses input for coagulation, the higher the consumption of sulfuric acid to maintain the pH of the medium at the required level. The temperature of the process did not have a significant effect on the completeness of the release of rubber from latex. The extracted crumb of rubber was separated from the aqueous phase (sulfur), washed with warm softened water and dried. On the basis of the rubber obtained, rubber mixtures were prepared using standard components and vulcanized. Rubbers obtained on the basis of rubber SKS-30 ARC, in their indicators meet the requirements.

Extensive use of thick film materials to manufacture resistor networks and hybrid integrated circuits has come about because of economic, processing and functional advantages over other technologies in the high volume production of miniaturized circuits. Inherent in the adoption of thick film technology for increasingly diverse applications has been the ability of thick film material suppliers to provide progressive performance improvements at lower cost concurrent with circuit manufacturer's needs. Since the first major commercial thick film adoption in the early sixties, when IBM adopted platinum gold conductors and palladium silver resistors in their 360 computers, rapid technological advances over the last decade have produced an increasing variety of hybrid circuits and networks. The wide adoption of thick film technology in all segments of the electronic industry has placed increasing demands on performance and processing latitude. This paper outlines the development of low cost silver-bearing conductors and describes the evolution of technology improvements to present day systems. The initial segment reviews the deficiencies of early Pd/Ag conductors, particularly solder leach resistance and degradation of soldered adhesion following high temperature storage, and focuses on the first Pd/Ag system which overcame these problems. Extension of this technology and subsequent improvements in both binders and vehicles to fulfill adhesion requirements to Al2O3substrates of varying chemistries and to meet demands for high speed printing are also described. The second segment gives an overview of the present understanding of thick film conductor composites from a mechanistic point of view. The various types of binder systems commonly employed in conductors are discussed in terms of how they effect a bond between the sintered metal and the substrate, and the advantages and disadvantages of each type. Metallurgical aspects of conductor/solder connections are considered and their effects on bond reliability following exposure to high temperature discussed. Rheological considerations of paste design are presented and related to printing performance. The final segment focuses on newer low cost, high performance material systems that have evolved over the past two years. The technologies of each system are reviewed in terms of metallurgy, binder and vehicle. Important functional properties are presented to illustrate cost/performance tradeoffs. Special emphasis is given to recently developed high Ag containing conductors which have outstanding soldered adhesion even after 1000 hours of storage at 150℃.

Significant research in reservoir computing over the past two decades has revived interest in recurrent neural networks. Owing to its ingrained capability of performing high-speed and low-cost computations this has become a panacea for multi-variate complex systems having non-linearity within their relationships. Modelling economic and financial trends has always been a challenging task owing to their volatile nature and no linear dependence on associated influencers. Prior studies aimed at effectively forecasting such financial systems, but, always left a visible room for optimization in terms of cost, speed and modelling complexities. Our work employs a reservoir computing approach complying to echo-state network principles, along with varying strengths of time-delayed feedback to model a complex financial system. The derived model is demonstrated to act robustly towards influence of trends and other fluctuating parameters by effectively forecasting long-term system behavior. Moreover, it also re-generates the financial system unknowns with a high degree of accuracy when only limited future data is available, thereby, becoming a reliable feeder for any long-term decision making or policy formulations.

Comfort is an important topic in the elevator industry, and among the different factors which affect it, vibration in the car is one of the most important. Passengers not only perceive this phenomenon as an unpleasant effect, but also as a signal of the elevator safety level, and therefore it is of great importance to mitigate it. Although mature technologies are available for reducing vibration in low speed elevators, the increased number of high buildings and sky-scrappers, forces the development of new technologies for medium and high speed elevators. Active vibration control techniques are widespread used for damping vibration in different industrial environments, but their application to the elevator industry normally imply expensive solutions, with bulky and heavy actuators which highly burden its application. As alternative, the cheaper and lighter semi-active vibration systems based on passive elements capable of modifying their properties in response to external commands represent an appealing option. In this paper, we describe a design method for a semi-active roller guide based on a commercial magneto-rheological damper. Different control strategies based on low cost acceleration sensors are also analyzed.

The process of Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) has experienced a dramatic growth in the last years. Together with the new requirements imposed by customer needs, globalization of the markets has brought about a new scenario in which competitiveness is the keyword. In the case of WEDM, it is only possible from a perspective that integrates developments in hardware, software and know-how, to generate the required added-value with respect to competitors. For instance, it is not enough to give an answer to the demand of a high-speed first cut: economy must be achieved together with a high accuracy and using low-cost wires. In this paper the research actions currently running aiming at the development of a new generation of WEDM machines are presented. The objective of this paper is to present an integrated research approach focused on industrial needs, covering the following aspects: Accuracy and productivity; automation and machine intelligence; eco-efficiency.

The evolution of money has accompanied the development of civilizations and technological innovations, leading to today’s cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies have become a popular mode of payment globally because of their low cost, high-speed transferability and a decentralized tracking network that provides secure transactions and a high degree of anonymity. However, the decentralized system of cryptocurrencies has made global monetary systems more dynamic and therefore more prone to misuse as well as posing a threat to financial stability. Cryptocurrencies are also gaining popularity in Pakistan: its first cryptocurrency, named ‘Pakcoin’, was launched in 2015. The State Bank of Pakistan does not recognize any digital currency, and the Federal Board of Revenue and Federal Investigation Agency have taken legal action against local and internationally traded cryptocurrencies. This article reviews these risks and provides various regulatory solutions so that methods can be developed to improve the management of financial innovations and create a safer environment in which financial innovation can continue. Furthermore, developing countries such as Pakistan can take advantage of distributed ledger technology (used in cryptocurrencies) in applications including: microfinance to help the unbanked, in data identification systems and in land registries to help enforce property rights.

The Ji’an PM No. 3 is the first linerboard machine in China to use multilayer curtain coating technology. Since successful startup at the end of 2011, further development has been carried out to optimize running conditions, coating formulations, and the base paper to provide a product with satisfactory quality and lower cost to manufacture. The key challenges include designing the base board structure for the desired mechanical strength, designing the surface properties for subsequent coating operations, optimizing the high-speed running of the curtain coater to enhance production efficiency, minimizing the amount of titanium dioxide in the coating color, and balancing the coated board properties to make them suitable for both offset and flexographic printing. The pilot and mill scale results show that curtain coating has a major positive impact on brightness, while smoothness is improved mainly by the blade coating and calendering conditions. Optimization of base board properties and the blade + curtain + blade concept has resulted in the successful use of 100% recycled fiber to produce base board. The optical, mechanical, and printability properties of the final coated board meet market requirements for both offset and flexographic printing. Machine runnability is excellent at the current speed of 1000 m/min, and titanium dioxide has been eliminated in the coating formulations without affecting the coating coverage. A significant improvement in the total cost of coated white liner production has been achieved, compared to the conventional concept of using virgin fiber in the top ply. Future development will focus on combining low cost with further quality improvements to make linerboard suitable for a wider range of end-use applications, including frozen-food packaging and folding boxboard.
