A manufacturing process cannot be released to production until it has been proven to be stable. Also, we cannot begin to talk about process capability until we have demonstrated stability in our process. This means that the process variation is the result of random causes only and all assignable or special causes have been removed. In complicated manufacturing processes, such as drilling proces...

The charge for the working group on high gradient and laser-structure based acceleration was to assess the current challenges involved in developing an advanced accelerator based on electromagnetic structures, and survey stateof-the-art methods to address those challenges. The topics of more than 50 presentations in the working group covered a very broad range of issues, from ideas, theoretical...

As a key element in the semiconductor industry, efficient and stable transfer of the wafer set the very high request to the wafer transfer manipulator.At present,wafer transfer robot(SCARA-type,R-θ type) widely used in IC manufacturing equipment can only realize translational transmission to wafer,can not realize the posture change.So wafer transfer acceleration can only rely on its own gravity...

final step of rail manufacturing is cold rolling straightening process and it hassignificant effects on mechanical properties, straightness, flatness and development of residualstresses. measurement of residual stresses after straightening process is obligated by railmanufacturing standards. in the present investigation, an attempt has been made to evaluateresidual stresses after straightening ...
