In this study a continuous wave Ytterbium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Yb: YAG) disk laser has been used for welding of AlMg3 casted alloy. A high-speed imaging camera has been employed to record hot vapor plume features during the process. The purpose was to identify a mechanism of pores detection in real-time based on correlations between metallographic analyses and area/intensity of the hot vapor in various locations of the samples. The pores formation and especially the position of these pores had to be kept under control in order to weld thick samples. Based on the characterization of the hot vapor, it has been found that the increase of the vapor area that exceeded a threshold value (18.5 ± 1 mm2) was a sign of pores formation within the weld seam. For identification of the pores’ locations during welding, the monitored element was the hot vapor intensity. The hot vapor core spots having a grayscale level reaching 255 was associated with the formation of a local pore. These findings have been devised based on correlation between pores placement in welds cross-section microscopy images and the hot vapor plume features in those respective positions.

We developed a real-time nanomanipulation system based on high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM). During manipulation, the operation of the manipulation is momentarily interrupted for a very short time for high-speed imaging; thus, the topographical image of the fabricated surface is periodically updated during the manipulation. By using a high-speed imaging technique, the interrupting time could be much reduced during the manipulation; as a result, the operator almost does not notice the blink time of the interruption for imaging during the manipulation. As for the high-speed imaging technique, we employed a contact-mode HS-AFM to obtain topographic information through the instantaneous deflection of the cantilever during high-speed scanning. By using a share motion PZT scanner, the surface could be imaged with a frame rate of several fps. Furthermore, the high-speed AFM was coupled with a haptic device for human interfacing. By using the system, the operator can move the AFM probe into any position on the surface and feel the response from the surface during manipulation. As a demonstration of the system, nanofabrication under real-time monitoring was performed. This system would be very useful for real-time nanomanipulation and fabrication of sample surfaces.

The track settlement has a great influence on the safe operation of high-speed trains. The existing track settlement measurement approach requires sophisticated or expensive equipments, and the real-time performance is limited. To address the issue, an ultra-high resolution track settlement detection method is proposed by using millimeter wave radar based on frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW). Firstly, by constructing the RCS statistical feature data set of multiple objects in the track settlement measurement environment, a directed acyclic graph-support vector machine (DAG-SVM) based method is designed to solve the problem of track recognition in multi-object scenes. Then, the adaptive chirp-z-transform (ACZT) algorithm is used to estimate the distance between the radar and the track surface, which realizes automatic real-time track settlement detection. An experimental platform has been constructed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the accuracy of track classification and identification is at least 95%, and the accuracy of track settlement measurement exceeds 0.5 mm, which completely meets the accuracy requirements of the railway system.
