Abstract. This study addresses prior mixed findings on the relationship between future time perspective (FTP) and well-being as well as examines the associations between three aspects of FTP and life satisfaction in the health and friendship domains. 159 Germans, 97 US Americans, and 240 Hong Kong Chinese, aged 19–86 years, completed a survey on future self-views (valence) and life satisfaction. They also reported the extent to which they perceived future time as expanded vs. limited (time extension) and meaningful (openness). Findings revealed that individuals with more positive future self-views had higher satisfaction. However, those who perceived their future as more meaningful or perceived more time in their future reported higher satisfaction even when future self-views were less positive.

In today’s challenging environment, the priority for many oil and gas operation companies is to design, build and safely operate facilities at optimum cost efficiency. This means that new facility designs must consider critical facility integrity and that existing facilities are operated well beyond their intended design life. Main gas transmission systems are now some 50 years old and operate for longer periods than anticipated during design and construction for reasons such as; the transition to renewables with another 50 years of service foreseen, and; gas transmission systems that operate satisfactorily, have very low failure rates and for which the planned safe life time extension is expected to be the lowest cost option.

The rectangular coordinate CNC pipe profile cutting & welding integrative equipment is researched for the requirements of cutting and automatic welding of complicated butt pipes intersection lines. The mechanical structure of the equipment is that the workpiece is placed onto the supports, the chuck is carried out with limitless rotary movement. The main body for holding cutting torch and welding torch is adopted with cantilever arm traveling structure, and is controlled by six-axis digital AC servo system. The CNC system is developed based on Windows operation system, and it is a kind of pure software open architecture. RTX real-time extension technology is adopted to realize the high real-time requirement in motion control. The minimum deviation method is used to realize the interpolation algorithm of curve which describes the space track of intersection line. The equipment has realized the pipe cutting for blanking and welding for assembling at the same working position, and can meet the requirements for automatic pipe processing technology.
