As the content af the American Government's demands to Japan becomes clear, it is gradually becoming obvious that this is a political problem. The scenario seems to be for "Japan, as an ally of the United States, to show a cooperative attitude in helping to build a strong America by voluntary cutbacks on automobile exports for a while." The upshot is that auto - export cutbacks will be traded for defense assistancc:, Japan's biggest concern. According to the estimate of the Industrial Bank of .,apan, if automobile exports are held to 1979 levels, our total industrial production will fall by 650 billion yen and employment will drop by 45,000. Is this political price paid by Japan as an American ally high or low? Many people point to Japan's defense problem as the greatest political issue between Japan and the Uniteu States. However, the Unitsd States has focused on cars. Foreign Minister Ito's first statement on returiing from the United _ States was, "No matter where I went in America the only thing they talked about was cars." Certatnly there were plenty of episodes behind this statement. _ On 21 March, just before Foreign Minister Ito's visit to the United States, Ambassador Mansfield made this request of Mr Ito. "This is an instruction from Secretary of State Haig. Cou1.d you reduce automobile exports to the level of several years prior to 1980?" At a conference between Fo reign Minister Ito and Secretary of State Haig, Secretary Haig said, "In o rder to resCore military balance with the. Soviet ;~nion, a strong America is necessary and we must give priority to passing the - ne�a budget in Congress to reduce the eize of governmerLt." At a conference between Fo reign Minister Ito and President Reagan, the President explained the troubles of the U.S. auto industry and said, "It would be terrible if a protectionist law were passed in the U.S. Congress." At a conference between Foreign Minister Ito and Treasury Secretary Re the secretary sa�;d, "A parent wants to see his ugly daughter (meariing Chrysler) married off toa, even if it means providing a dowry." ~ 1 FOR OFFICIAL USF. ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02148: CIA-RDP82-44850R000400014405-1 - FOR nFFICIAL USF ONLY On 27 March, in a meeting between Foreign Mi.nister Ito, Minister of International Trade and Industry Tanaka, Chief Cab3net Secretary Miyazawa, and Mr Okita, a government representative, the foreign minister pointed out that, "This time, there will be no negotiated agreement. The heads of both countries want to settle this matter quickly." When these statements are put together, a certain scenario takes form. - First, there is a pretense that Japan will unilaterally cooperate on automobiles. The cantrol of auto exports to the United States is left up to the independent - decision of Japan. Even when important officials of the American Government come to Japan, they say that th.eir purpose is not negotiatfons. Ambassador Mansfield's cutback volume request was "not to be leaked to the outs ide under any circumstances." Mr Ito said, "The American Government is :naking no specific _ requests." This was to be a feature of any "discussions." However, when Japan and the United States discuss cutting auto expo rts by 200,000 to 300,000 vehicles compared to last year, this does not differ in any way from negotiations. A Foreign Ministry source says the reason for making a point of expressing something this clear as "discussions" rather than "negotiations" is because "it will benefit both countries." This means that the new Reagan government can get by without pulling down its banner of "free tracle." If the congressional majority who desire restraints on Japanese autos are appeased, it will be easier to carry out the new administration's meassres for economic renewal. At that point,even though it is impossible right nowy Japan can cooperate with a"strong America." This is the plot. However, there is no guarantee that this devotion to the Reagan government wil]_ ' buy off pressure on Japau to share more of the defense burden. Our government leaders must actually feel even more conscious of the defense issue when we are told that the official American view is that defense is not involved. Even if cars and defense are separate issues, a MITI source says, "When the auto issue is settled, the next problem may be defense." Some point to "one more scenario" on the American side. Unilateral auto import cutbacks by Japan will result in a number of cost burdens. If the matter is to be largely settled in one blow during April, the government will have to take forceful measures against the industry. The most effective method would be to establish a quota for each manufacturer by invoking an export _ trade restraining order. However, MITI is not enthtisiastic. It says, "It would be a suicidal act for trade administration." Especially if the coming measures for the United States are based on autonomous decisions with no American demands, the United States will not acknowledge any - part in a trade control ordpr. The Japanese Government will have to take full responsibility. Both Canada and Europe will say, "Do the same for us." If there is a great impact on the auto industry it will probably put the blame on MITI. Therefore, a trade control order is a two-edged sword and MITI is desperately trying to find some other way out. 2 FOR OFFTrIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2047102108: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 I FOR OFFICIAL USF.

The "early starter group," represented by Noboru Takeshita (former - finance minister), is being aggressively pursued by the "late starter groiip," , among them Rokusuke Tanaka (minister for interna�ional trade and industry) and _ - Michio Watanabe (finance ministex). 3oining in the fray is Ganri Yamashita (chairman of the Diet Steering Commicteej, who may be backed by former Pr.ime - Minister Tanaka. This makes the new leadership contest a confusing battle. Former Prime Ministers Fukuda and Tanaka, who still control the LDP factions remain uncoucerned, noting, "competition is good." However, along with the two candidates for party president, Nakasone (Directox General, Administrative Management Agency) and Komoto (Director General, Economic Planning Agency), who are being closely pressed for the post-Suzuki position, they will never know when tre wave of generational change may come upon them. Pattern of the Confusing Battle The so-called "early starter group1 for the new leadership is made up of the Fukuda faction), - following six: Shintaro Abe (LDPPolicy Planning Committee, Noboru Takeshita (Tanaka faction), Kiichi Miyazawa (Chief Cabinet Secretary, Suzuki factiun), T.chiro Nakagawa (director general of t'he Science and Technology Agency, Nakagawa faction), Toshiki Kaibu (forr.ier minister of education, Komoto = faction). As the candidates for Prime Minister in the 1980's, they are competing J with each other to demonstra*e their prime ministerial caliber. However, recently, Finance Minister Watanabe (no faction) and Minister for - International Trade and Industry (MITI) Tanaka (Suzuki faction) have shown - remarkable ability. Furthermore, even Yamashita, on the 21st, the day of h;s office opening, took the occasion to announce his candidacy for the new leadership. "They have no knowledge nor powsr as politicians. They are merely blowing the horn, beating the drums and dancing," says an official from the Suzuki faction. Despite this frosty view, the situation appears as if all sorts of flowers have bloomed at once. ~ 4 FOR OFFIrIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02148: CIA-RDP82-00850R040440010005-1 J FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Impatienca of the Old Guard A leading f.igure of the middle of thP road opposition commented on the "new _ leaders": "Abe and Takeshita do not look good. Watanabe, Naka,-,awa and Tanaka will be making rapid progress." Abe and Takeshita, during last year's intra- a party struggle, were involved in the "GenerEition Change Debate" which sought to remove the existing leadership. It is rumored that they thus provoked Fukuda - and Tanaka's anger and are not on good terms with them. However, to this day, _ this has not shown any outward si.gns. It seems thL?t Abe has finally quelled = the anger of Fukuda and the senior members of the faction. But this is nat sufficient reason to call him the "Fukuda faction's Crown Prince." Oc the other hand, even though Takeshita appears to be one of the toD officials = in the "Thursday Club" of the Tanaka faction, a mid-level Diet member from that faction has it tnat, "unfortunately, he is still hard at work 'mopping the floor' _ - (still has to take order5)." Moreover, Takeshita is under attack from two sides. - - Kosaka has changed from his independent position and joined the Tanaka faction, - while Yamashita has also started his move towards the future. _ Miyazawa also is in a difficult position as his ground has been shaken by Tanaka's entry into the Lattle. Thus, each of the three has much to wor.ry about: Should - they plan for the boss handing over power voluntarily or should they aim one day to take power for themselves? A Separate Troop = Among the early starters, Nagagawa is moving about freely. Though it is small, he has a base of his own, "Jiyu Kakushin Doyu-Kai" ["The Liberal Progressives - Gr.oupJ and is preparing for the battle against the Suzuki-Tanaka coalition as a , separate troop trom the Fukuda faction. He is planning a publication ceremony in Tokyo on May 15 and is aiming ro sell himself as a ractiori boss. He has the - ambition to split off from the Fukuda fac�tion in the future. Kaibu from the Komoto faction established an office near the Diet at the be.ginning of this month and is holding seminars with young members of the faction as the main participants. Although this group has not been designated publicly as a policy studiES group, it is certain that it aspires to succeed the Komoto faction. "As a separate tr.oop from the Komoto faction, it will devote itself to attacking. We will split the Tanaka faction and unify all the 'new leadership' behind ~ Komoto," ;ays Kaibu in a manner full of fighting spirit that pays no attention _ to the possihility o f accomplishing this. Endorsement 4 - MITI minister Tanaka explained his organization of thP 'Shin-sedai Kenkyu-kai.' ~ - ('New Generation Study Gr.oup'] in this way, "I have Prime Minister Suzuki's - approval." Similariy, Yamashita, another of the "].ate starters" said, "My _ old man (former Prime Minister Tanaka) encouraged me." Yamashita will be _ attending rallies in Tokyo April 10 and Osaka April 27, sponsored by head of - the Japan Chamber of Commerce Nagano an3 other business leaders.

This news is upsetti.zg to Takeshita and others. An Aging, Bureaucratic Society Nakasone, a strong candidate to succeed Suzuki, comments on the movements of = the various candidates for the new leadership as follows. "Policy proposals ' - backed by young leadership gives vitalit,y to the party and is thus good." On the - - other hand, Komoto, maybe because he holds a monttily "golf ineeting" with Abe, ' Nakagawa, and Tanaka, has made no comment. However, it seems iieither of them are ` e - calm inside. Former Prime Minister Fukuda says, "I would like to see young people who are proud to be the champion of pure, right and strong conservative power aggressively - take leadership." Former Prime Minister Tanaka says, "I, too, used to run around stPalthily trying not to be noticed by Mr Sato's (late former Prime Minister - - Eisaku Sato) 'fish eyes.' Tanaka faction is the virtual ruling party. It is a matter of course that people with aspirations like Takeshita, Kosaka and Yamashita cornpete with each other." Both of them sound very confident. But what would they do if the movement that _ seeks the change of generation develops into a big surge? "In short, the LDP is I. about to face an aging generation, where former nrime ministers who normally _ should retire, still refuse to yield their power. Even the new leaders ar.e only walking around dragging their chains in a cage, ti.-e cage of factions existing in - a bureaucratic society." This comment by a seniur non-faction Diet member is beginning to sound reasonable. - COPYRIGHT: Yomiuri Shimbun 1981 9782 CSO: 4105/143 6 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 - !IUR OFFICIAL U5E UNLY - SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COAL LIQUEFACTION 1?ILOT PlAl1T USING DIRECT HYDROGENATION _ Tokyo TECHNOCRAT in English Vol 14, No 3 Mar 81 p 56 - ITexJ ' Ntitsui Engineenng & Shipbuildiniz Cu., Ltd., l " in cuoperation with Nippon Kokan K. f:..

In 1981 the High Energy Physics Research Center, located in Tsukuba Research Center City (Director: Tetsuji Nishikawa) will begin implementing a plan for construc- - tion of a beam-collision format, high energy particle accelera- - tor--the so-called Tristan Project--with a view to start testing in 1985. The aim of the project is to construct the world's foremost, super-large particle accelerator--960 meters in diameter--and to discover quark--the ultimate elementary - particle--by smashing electrons and positrons with the highest beam energy of 25 to 30 billion electron volts; and otherwise explore the various vanguard topics in physics today. Since - accelerator science itself is a collection of advanced tech- nologies--super-conduction, electro-magnet, super-high vacuum technology, measurement technology and so on--the industrial world is expecting positive results from the Tristan Project. ~ Many high energy physicists are hoping for an early realization of the Tristan Project since it is a way to ascertain the intrinsic nature of a material's ultimate structure. The construction for the said project is to be pursued in two stages-- - first and second. Tlie first project is a 5-year plan beginning in 1981 at the - total cost of 75 billion yen under which an injection [nyusha] accumulator ring (approximately 120 meters in diameter) and a Tristan ring (about 960 meters diameter) will be constructed in order to perform elementary particle tests involving collision of:' electrons and positrons with maximum energy of 25 to 30 billion electron volts. It is said that if super-conduction, high frequency cavern--currently under develop- ment--is used, the above noted energy level may be maximized to 35 to 40 billion electron vo'lts. , According to the plaiz, an electron is accelerated up to 3 bilZion volts by means of a linear accelerator (scheduled completion date: 1981) 400 meters in length belonging to the radiation ray testing facility. Then it is kept in the injection accumu- - lator ring and accelerated to 6 billion electron volts, and then put into the Tristan ring. In the meantime, as the positron does not exist in an ordinary substance, the electron is accelerated to 200 million electron volts using a 8 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 FOR OFFICIAL USE UNLY small linear accelerator and struck into a metal. Positrons tl-ius generated are gathered; and relying on the same procedure used in the case of electrons. It is - , proces~3ed into the injection accumulator ring and then shot ~"to the Tristan ring. Within the ring the electrons and positrons run i.n opposite directions at the rate of ,p 000 seconds per revolution. In the beginning, their orbits are staggere3 = so ~h~y cannot collide. When the line up of electrons and positrons is completed, - they are accelerated ro the mnximum 30 billion electron volts and made to collide - head-on. Since each is accelerated to 30 billion electron volts, when they collide, trcy do ~ so with the force if 60 billion electron volts. Both electron and positron particl.es are obliterated and they are separated into minutest constitv.ent parts. Physicists _ - the world over are intensely searching for the quark of the future from among them. The elementary particle re:search is said to be the ultimate field iz physics. It - _ is expected to have a great ripple effect. But it requires tremendous capital - and vast grounds; the size of accelerators range from 2 to 3 kilometers in diameter. - At the European International Nuclear Research Laborai.ory (Geneva, Switzerland) a gigantic monster of an accelerator--10 kilometers in diameter--is bei-ng planned. _ Tn order to resolve this question, a collision type accelerator was developed. - There are two collision energy research projects--involving maximum of about 40 , billion electron volts accelerator--currently in progress. One is in Tdest Germany-- "PETRA" and the other is in the United States "PEP." With Tristan, the range can ' be expanded further to 60 billion electron volts. - The major feature of the Tristan Proj ect is that new technologies and ideas are used everywhere--for example, development of super-conduction, dipolar electro- _ magnet used in super-large positron synchrotron which will be necessary for _ electron-positron collision experiments in the future. _ ~ 'i'his particular developmental research is organized by the prufessorial staff from various research fields. Already, a test conducted toward the end of last year revealed that the super-conduction, dipolar electromagnet for the Number 2 - Machine has a capability vastly sunerior to the world standard. It is said that a _ 14 centimeters inside diameter coil, 1.2 meters length, niobic titanium super- conduction, dipolar electromagnet lias generated 5.25 Tesla highly refinad magnetic field at 4.2�K. This is the first time anywhere in the world that a positron synchrotron super-ronduction electromagnet with a large coil bore has been able to generate a magnetic field greater than S Tesla. Using tllis kind of dc.velopmental research as a base, the High Energy Research Center - is looking toward the development of the "step"--a 13 Tesla class unit--to be made as a U.S.-Japan joint project in 2 to 3 years. With that goal in mind, the Center is prusuing basic researc.h or: a new super-conduct.ion line and super-flowage cooling method. An :impartant key to a sur.cessful accelerator system is a superior detector that can measure the direction, speed, energy, momentum, mass and amount of electricity _ and so on of particles.

The collections of super fine particles ranging in diameter from 1/1,000 to 1/10 micron display magnetic properties, internal _ stresses, l'i-ght absorption, thermal resistance, and melting point which are so _ uifferent from those of bulk �netals of the same elemental coniposition as to defy imagination, and there is grF;at potential for some very innovative applications = in the areas of electronics, catalytic chemistry, metallurgy, and medicine. At the present time, research in this area in Japan is leading the world, and - preparations are under way for this technology to becom e the nucleus in forth- _ coming internatiunal technological struggles. It Looks Ju$t Like Soot "The soot inside a smokestack. That is just what this material laoks like." So said a member of the National Research Institute for Metals of the Science and Technology Agency. He opened up a pharmaceutical package of apparently valuable material in the palm of his hand. It was orclinary looking material, `ust as he had described. There is no metallic luster. It appears black because light - is completely absorbed. The individual particles which make up the fine powder are no larger than 1/100 the size af a cholera bacterium and these particles only = appear black when seen under an optieal microscope. An electron microscope ~ has to be used to differentiate the particles. Some of the smaller particles contain only a dozen or so elementary particles, whil e the largPr members may contain several tens of thousands. These super fine particles came into the limelight unly very recently. While they are simple metals reduced to very fine state, this great reduction in size has been found to be associated with some remarkable properties. Let us list some of the properties which have been discovered thus far. These particles have very large surface area. When one gram of powder is spr.ead out aver a plane, its surface area will be as much as 70 square met`r::. _ A particle has large surface tension, as a result of which there is very large internal pressure. This pressure is of the order of several hundred thousand atmospheres, civaling that within the earth's interior. 11 Fnii OH FICIAt, USF: ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02148: CIA-RDP82-44850R000400014405-1 _ FOR OI~N't('A1, USF.

" The melting point (temperature at which a material melcs) is very low compared to bulk metal. For example, the meltinP point of silver is 960 degrees Celsius, but that of fine silvQr ?owder is less than 100 degrees Celsius. In other words, fine silver powder will meit in hot water. The activity of fine powder is high, and it enters into various types of reactions. - It has almost no thermal resistance at low temperature, and it conducts heat very efficiently. Many Applications Appear These properties should give rise to a variety of applications. The area which has been researched most thoroughly at present is in the area of magnetic applicatians. Use in test development of magnetic tapes is already being researched by Fuji Photo Fi1m,Matsushita Electric Industrial, Hitachi, and Titanium Kogyo and some universities are developing magnetfc tapes. There are _ hopes that tapes with 10 times the recording density of the present tapes may be developed. _ Mitsu Toatsu Chemicals has zeroed in on the light-absorbing property to engage in research on infrared-absorbing materials, and applications in the area of solar heat utilization devices are being explored. The enormous surface area and the very high activity are expected to lead to the development of some revolutionary catalysts, and researches are under way at Daido Special Stsel and Sagami Central Laboratory. In addition, fine nickel is used as catalyst for the prope113nt of a solid fuel rocket, and there have been suggestions that the use of super fine powder - might enable the production of rocket fuel with 100 times the combustion - efficiency of the present fuels. There is also possibility of great changes taking place in the area of powder metal technology. Materials presently being _ hot pressed at a temperature of about 1,000 degrees Celsius mav be press formed at 100 degrees Celsius or thereabout, enabling a high level of energy conservation. Some foreign results include thF use of fine powder in low thermal resistance heat exchangers and heat transfer materials for very low temperature units, to - er.ab?e the first atta3nment in the world of a temperature very close to absolute - zero. Super fine particulate magnets have been discovered in the cilia of bacteria, and this presence is being exploited to separate microorganisms with magnets in research now under way. 12 FOR OFFICIAL, USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007102108: CIA-RDP82-00850R000440010005-1 NOR UFFWIAL USE ONLY _ In the scientific area, attention has been directed at these super fine particles = being almost identical with space dust, and these super fine particles may serve to explain some of the states in space, Now, how does one prepare t::ese supPr fine particles? Some Japanese researchers pred!.cted some of the singula:- behavior of these super fine particles about 20  years ago, and basic studies have been cor.tinued in the ur..iversities. ~ ~ The. New Technology Develcpment 14ork Group (director, Yoshimitsu Takeyasu) tcok up the resul*_s of tiiese researches and ccntracted development of production technology to V3cuum Metallurgy (managerr Shuzei Hayashi) in 1971. At present, - _nearly all the super fine powder used in researches throughUUt the world was - - prepared by the equipment developed by Vacuum Metallurgy. At the same time, it is said that Vacuum 24etallurgy is the only business enterprise in the world which presently has any equipment for pr.eparing this very fine powder. . The method is called vaporization, in which a container placed within a vacuum - has inert gas sealed in beforehand, and metal is heated to high temperature - within this container, causing it to vaporize. Metal vaporized in the form _ of smoke-like metal vapor is recovered as super fine particles. - The problem is the price. The monthly production of the unit which has been ` , developec' is only a few kilograms, and the cost of the super fine metal product - is about 300,000 yen per kilogram. This is a tremendous barrier to practicali- _ - zar_ion. It is said that this company is aiming at lowering the cost to a few tens of thousands of yen per kilogram. I New Production Method - In the meantime, the Nati.onal Research Institute for Metals has developed a new pro3uction method which might effect a large reduction in cost, and this method = is attracting considerable attention. Hints were obtained from the dispersion of fine particles from molten metal of ~ = an arc-melting process, and a technology embellishing this behavior was - developed. The arc is dispersed by directing a stream of argon gas containing more than 30 percent hydrogen. The hydrogen which is dissolved to a super- saturated state in the molten metal is said to disperse super fine particles as it escapes from the melt. "The production capacity is between 100 and 10,000 = times greater than the vaporization method," said ilirector Uda of the First _ Laboratory, which developed this method. - In any event, Japan is presently leading the world in the two areas of production and applicatien of super fine powder, with its amazing potential capabilities. Japan holds the basic patents, and ttiere is a consensus among the people _ concerned that this technology should be developed as a solely Japanese technology, The Science and Technology Agency has taken up tnis subject as one of the "eyebal'l _ pxojects" for the Creative Science Promotion System it plans to establish in - 1981, and it hopes to enlist the aid of ind.ustry, goverriment, and academia in - establisliing the basic technology.

Entire Picture of Japan's Technical Cooperation Japar's technical cooperation in 1979 iri terms of money, amounted to S242 million, which corresponds to 9% of Japan's - official development assistance (ODA-52,637 million), 13`'I~ of " bilateral ODA ($I.921 miliion) on 43i'o of bilateral grant ($560 million). Technical cooperation from some donor countries accounts for a large part of bilateral ODA (e.g., 57% for France). For Japan, :echnical cooperation accounts for a relatively small percentage of die total ODA. However. Japan's technical cooperation has for some years been showing high growdi, and = now is nearly three times the amount of 5 years ago. Technica.l cooperation is divided into three sections: 1) students and trainees, 2) experts and volunteers, and �3) ' equipment, material, and other items. Here, I am geing to explain, more in detail, the performance in 1979 of Japan's technical cooperation of the first two sections. For section 1), in 1979 students numbered 1270, and trainees 7927, the latter far surpassing the former. For the students, those of secondary and undergraduate levels numbered 450 and postgraduate students, 820, the latter surpassing the lormer. . For section 2), in 1979 experts numbered 5759 and volunteers, 914. These experts included only 342 teachers (6%) arid volunteers included only 87 teachers (10%). In the same category as technical cooperation, Japan greatly differs irom other major donor countries (such as France) which sends uut teachers extensively, particularly langtiage teachers. - and also accepts foreign students. 14 - FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007102/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 'fhus, unlike other dunor countries, lapan's technical co- - upcration is (1I' little cultural and educational nature. but literally. is cooperation in technical tields.

Next to the East Asian areas, Japan's efforts for technical cooperation are directed toward Central and South American area (nearly 20% for both students and trainees, and experts and _ volunteers). Brazil is equally as impurtant as the East Asian countries because of impressive size of the Japanese colony in that country. Other Latin-American countries to which rela- - tively la: ge amount of technical cooperation is extended are - Paraguay and Bolivia. in other areas. Japan's technical cooperation is provided in At'rica (10'% for students and trainees. and 2017,. fur experts and volunteers, with greater emphasis toward the latter), South Asia _ (ahout 10'.", ior both activities), and West Asia (5-7" for !)oth _ activitieE.

In practice, this service consists of a rather complex form of cooperation beginning viith the sending of a survey mission to the site at the request of a developing country, to find out what cooperation can be rendered effectively and when details cr cooperation are determined, se;iding out experts generally for ?--S years, supplying materials, and training counterparts in Japan. - At present, JICA maintains 109 prcjects over a wide range of tields including agric!.ilture, stockbreeding, fisheries, forestry. , niining. small industries, telecommunications, vocational train- in;a, medical services, public hygiene, family planning, etc. The _ developing cour 'ries to which project-type cooperation is being rendered. include many of the Asian countries. and some countries in the Middle East. Africa, and Central and Suuth - Amerira. This project-type technical cooperation is provided upon request made by governments of developing countries arid thus is directed to the field in which systematic input of Lhe techniques is most needed. J[CA is endeavering to implement technical cooperation project; efficiently and to make tfiem fit for loral conditions and needs of the recipient countries. 4. Features of J[CA's Technical Cvoperation = The first feature of JICA's technical cooperation :s the fact lll:ll it has no element of continuation from lapan's colonial - paS t. Japan had an unhappy experience ut colonial rule in somc AS1JI7 8fE'aS. SUC}1 as in the peninsula of Korea and the isl.ind c;f - Formusa. But J1CA does not have any stlff' whu have been previously involved in Japan's colonial administration, and _ Japan's post-war technicai cooperation is enUrelv free fram any such past colunial experience. - This is in sh3rp contrast to other donor countries previously - having colonies. wiiicli started dieir "assistance", particularly technical cooperation after the Secund World War as an extention of their colonial administration. - Examples of this, are shown by France and Britain. Tlley transformed their former offices of colonial administration into "assistance" rendering agencies, which largely include ufticials I'ormcrly experienced in colonial administratiun, who in turn are sent as experts in technical cooperation to developiilg countries or are engaged in tlle planning of technical cooperation. 18 FOR OFF[CIAL [.'SE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007102/48: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400014405-1 FUR OF'F'I('IA I. USE ONLY Thc same aIso applies to international organs. It is a wcll-kno~wn f'act that the staff of the World Bank which took the lead in creating "development assistance policies" in :he post-war world, largely included officials of earlier colonial administrative services. As a result of definite isolation from the colonial past in performing its services, JICA is at a handicap. Teclinical c:ooperation rendered by France and Britain is based on a Iluge - amount of knowledge and experience accumulated in colonial times a.bout the economy, society, environmrn: and prodtice of _ their previous colonies. A number of research agencies estab- lished to facilitate colonial administration, are still performing their functions and are directly or indirectly related to technical _ cooperation. In contrast, Japan has no sucli accumulation of information from the past. Japan's technical cooperation has had to start from scratch. Ttlus, JICA's knowledge and experience about develuping cuuntries is very liunited, c;ompared widi the corre- sponding organizations of the once culonial powers. Instead, JICA tends to consider problem of developing countries, with _ ttie eyes totally free from prejudices often held by former coioiiial administrators, to be the problems facing newly ' independent states. _ Another teature of JICA's technical cooperation is its laying emphasis on the transfer of techniques, as is explained in - relation to the entire picture of Japan's technical cooperation. Rs I mentioned earlier, in the domestic section of Japan's technical cooperation. trainees (mostly in technical fields) far surpass students in number (botli were at t}ie ratio of 6:1 in 1979). For other dunor countries, t)iis ratio was 1:1.4 (1977) for France or 1:2.1 (1978) for Britain, with students out- numbering trainees, except for Cermany 5:1 (1978). - Alsu, in respect of the sending of experts, the percentage of - educational experts including teachers has been very low - 6% in 1979 - for Japan.

ON1.Y SCIENCE AND TECEIlNOLOGY SENSOR FOR AUTOMATION Tokyo TECHNOCRAT in English Vol 14, No 3 Ma.r 81 pp 26-29 [Article by Koichiro Shinohara, Omron Tateisi Electronics Co.] [Text] Sensors for automation seem a simple enough topic but they include a wide variety of types that have been developed such as those for checking temperature, mechanical quantities. humidity and gases. Commercial sensors available include hundreds of different kinds 'and ;ue contributing to the developement of automation today. This article concentrates on non-contact electronic inspection devices which represent the results of especially significant technoligical innovation among the numerous kinds of sensors - available today and their applications are increasing. 1. Non-Contact Electronic Inspection Switches Control systems for automation of production equipment have recently become of tlie electronic, complicated type , incorporating computers, and of smaller-sca(e type often using standardized electronic sequencers. Consequently, as control _ systems are required to be higher-speed. to have longer-life, and to be of mOre intricate structure, sensors, which correspond to the eyes and tentacles of a control system, are becoming in- creasingly of t}ie electronic non-contact type instead of the con- ventioral mechanical type. Their purpose is for checking work for existence, position and dislocation. As typical sensors, one may mention proximity switches and photoelectric switches. 1-1. Peoximity Switches The proximity switch is designed to open or close electric circuits when it detects objects (primarily metallic) which approch to its detection face or which are present nearby, by - making use of electromagnetic energy without needing mechani- cal contact. Such a switch has the foilowing features: 42..

Thus, as it can be sealed completely, i: is far more resistant to an unfavorable environment involving w,-.ter, oil or dust than other - types of switches. - 2) Because it uses electromagnetic energy for detection, dust in - the environment hardly affects it. On the other hand, because magnetic energy as emitted or received, such a switch's performance will vary with distance and it is effective within a distance of up to 100 mm at the most. 3) [t is available in a variety of designs intended for different - purposes, from a miniature type, like a microswitch, to a slab - inspection type usel in manufacturing steel plants. 1-2 Photcelectric Switches The photcelectric switch is designed to open or close an electric circuit when it detects a variation in the quantity of light emitted from a light source directed at the switch, when ~ the light is interrupted or reflected by passing objects. This ' switch has following features: i 1 Because it makes use of beams of light for inspection, it is I capable of inspection over some distance, some types having a ranga of up to 10 m. However, it is prone to cause erroneous ~ operation if dust, ctc. interrupt the beam, through causing variations in the light's intensity. ~ 2 Those types which use light emitting diodes as light sources I have a much longer life than those using conventional incandes- i cent lamps. 3 Most types are rapidly being made very compact and are so - designed as to be easily mounted on high-density systems with little mounting space, such as in automatic vending machines, j copying machines and packing machines. 2. Recent Trends 2-I . Efforts to Appiy and Certify Eoreign Standards The influence of the world's economy, with tiie rycinR value of the yen against the falling value of the dollar, is wiC_, inviting, in the market of inspection serisors, signs of inter- natiunalization in addition to increasing importation of inexpen- sive types oF seilsor, stimulacing domestic makers to dc:elop producib cu compete with imports. Efforts to apply and certify safety standards, such as UL and CSA or developments into modeis in compliance with such standards as DIN and CENELEC, promote increasing intPrchangeability and unifica- tion of functions and perfarmance, are being welcomed as trends toward models common internationally and reliable in use. 43. - FOR OFFICIAL USE ONI,Y APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02108: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 2-2. Qualitative Improvement of Functions and Performance Trends commonly observed today once technological devel- opment has been established, are increased competion to create new functions and higher performance, extension of such technology in contrast to a decreased number of new products based on new principles. Major examples observed in the field of inspection switches are as follows: 1 Addition of an Operation Indicator Light Operation indicator lights which indicate the execution of detection are beginning to be fitted on nearly all varieties. Photcelectric switches additionally are being provided with the function of "stable- operation range indication" which illu- minates the indicator light when a detection signal at a level with aclequate allowance. This has reduced trouble due to - improper setting for optical axis alignemnt, etc. and has made inspection switches more easy to use. 2 Short-Circuit Protection Function Inspection switches using semiconductors, which quite often become damaged, are being provided with functions for detect- ing short-circuit currents and so protect load switching elements tSefore they cause other losses. 3 Simplification of Wiring For proximity switches, the twawire type is increasing besides the conventional 3-wire type (two wires for power supply and one wire for signals). Twawire proximity switches are provided with SCR and triode AC switches in their inner circuits to switch line currents dirECtly. These can be used just like microswitches lnd limit switches, enabling the number of manhours for wiring work and materials for wiring to be reduced and thus, to prove more economical when used in quantity (see Fig. 1). 2-3. Trends Toward Compactness - Since it is the duty of inspection switches to perform functions equivalent to the eyes and tentaches of control systems, it is very important have them as small us possible. This makes them easior to mount and to perform such processes as amplificatxon of signals from inspection circuits, trimming of - waveforms in the switches, in order to provide definite digital ~ output in the form of "1" and "0". In order words, the -i incorporation of amplifier functions, which will ensure signal transmission and will eliminate the use of special cables such as shield wires for leads. Figs. 2 and 3 show earlies and the latest proximity switches and photcelectric switches for comparison of size. The greatest factors which have made such compactness possible are the techniques for modifying circuits :nto IC types and HIC technology which has achieved high integration of varic�js semiconductor caps. 44.

Electrostatic-Capacity Proximity Switch (See Fig. 6) Objects which proximity switches currently available inspect ' have been limited to metals, as it has been difficult for such proximity switches to inspect non-metallic objects and liquids. The electrostatic- capacity proximity switch is designed to give output by detecting the electrostatic capacity of the object as it approaches the detection face. It responds to glass, plastics, ~ ceramics, wood, etc., though it more readily responds to - substances with large relative permitivity such as metals and water. The switch is quite able to check the presence of liquid in paper packs and is most adept in checking liquid levels in milk _ packs.

Limited Reflective Photcelectric Switch (See Fig. 8) In diffusion-reflecdve photcelectric switches currently used, the projection axis and the reception axis are fixed in parallel. Thus, they have had the drawback of having difficu..y in discriminating between the object under inspection and f"oreig'i objects in the background (such as wells and conveyor surfaces), though it is handily able to receive diffused retlections irom the front face of the object under inspection. The limited reflective photcelectric switch has the reception axis at an angle with the projection axis and incdrporates an adjusting system which is able to vary the intersection of the two axis. Thus, the switch is able to receive sclectively only the reflections from the objects under inspection. Fig. 9 shows its principles. The switch is applicable for cantinuously coundng passing solid objects, that is, chocolate bars, tiles, pipes and pencils that are fed success- ively on to a line or for the stable inspection of transparent objects. .

Using Permeable Photoelectric Units Needing no physical contact, in automation, photcelectric _ inspection is often more convenient than other methods to = control work operations. Photoelectric check systems, hcwever, will not work satis- factorily if the light necessary is not arranged carefully. For~ small workpieces, as shown in Fig. 1, the use of a usual commercial photoelectric check unit will involve erroneous . operation because the sensitivity required calls for adjustment that is two -fine to be practical. Here, the detection sensitivity is low because the light beam is relatively large as compared with the workpiece which obstructs only a small portion of the total - light reaching the reception element. And, since the same amount of light reaches the photcelectric element irrespective of the position of the workpiece in the light beam, it is not - possible to use this system for work positioning. The above problem with small workpieces can then be solved by adequate restricting of the light beam as shown in Fig. 2. Photo 1 shows an example of this system, which detects the location of a workpiece about 3mm in diameter, with an error _ of about 0.5 mm. The photoelectric detection unit in the Photo is positioned as shown in Fig. 3. On the other hand, there are cases in which the (ight beam - has to be enlarged.In a process feeding E shape core parts one by one as shown in Fig. 4, suppose two of them were entangled as shown in Fig.b, one of the methods of detecting such is by enlarging the full light beam as shown in Fig. 6. Here, appropriate selection uf the shape and the dimensions of the projection frame will enable workpieces consisting of two a more entangled parts and facing in any direction to be detected. 50 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02148: CIA-RDP82-44850R000400014405-1 FOR ONFI('IAI, IISE ONI.Y _ Next, let us c.,,,,:3er a detection unit, which gives a signal the moment any obstacle enters a certain plane and which can be ~T used as a safety unit for presses. It is usual to think that this can be done by enlarging the light beam as stiown in Fig. 7. However, if the thickness D of the object under detection is too small for the beam width W as with small work shawn in Fig,], sensitivity will decrease. If the sensitivity is sufficiently raised to detect such small thicknesses, this will cause erroneous operations becauce small variations are ready to generate signals. _ On the other hand, small objects can be detected efficiently . `iy applying the method of covering the entire monitor surface, by allowing a long-distance photcelectric unit to reflect the light beam onto mirrors, as shown in Fig. 8.

ONLY Picture Detection Photoelectric Unit (1) ' It is often desired to inspect the overall conditions of products instead of their presence. In such cases, the use of a ' group of photcelectric elements and a group of light sources arranged appropriately around the work, as shown in Fig.9, seemingly will serve the purpose. The -!xample given in Fig. 9 shows that if C-c is on and D�d is off when A-a and B-b are off, ! the work is positioned properly and vice versa. In practice, however, this presents a number of difficulties, ~ such as it is not always easy to arrange these beams in this way i primarily, because of spatial limitations, it is difficult with small _ work to set a light reflection unit as shown in the Figure and it is necessary to devise a fixture every time a new type of product is put on die line. ln order to solve these difficulties, a ' simplified picture detection unit has been developed. It is a simplified pattern check unit shown in Photo 2. [t is somewhat slightly lArger tl:an an 8mm camera and is accompanied by a control box, about a step smaller. It is used as follows. First, i: is set as shown in Fig. 10. With the back lid opened, the picture of the work is seen on the SOmm x SOmm print glass. What remains to be done here, is to set and clamp 4 photoelectric elements of 4 locations in the picture and adjust tlle output levels of the individual pliotcelectric elements to the ON or OFF position by turning the level adjusting knobs. Let us take, for example, the picture of the workpiece as _ shown in Fig. 1 l(a). If the workpiece sliows clearly againt a dark background, suppose that the 4 photoelectric elements are set as shown in Fig. 1 1(b). [n Chis setting, the beams to elements A, B, C and D are dark, bright, bright and bright wich outputs. OFF, ON, ON and ON respectively, which is expressed as 0111 under the binary system, and the decoder output of the control box appears as a signal at location No. 14. Then, suppose this is the output of "normal" work conditions. If the top proirusion of the subsequent work which comes to position as the index table turns is inclined as shown in Fig. 11(c), the code of the photcelectric signal is 0101 and the signal for state output appears at No. 10. This results in no output at No. 14 and,thus, the work is judged to be "abnormal". Likewise, if the work is wrongly positioned leftward or rightward as shown in (d) and (e) of Fig. 11, signal codes are 1100 and 0001 respectively and signals appear at state output Nos. 3 and 8, ; wi.n no signal appearing at No. 14. Thus, both cases are judged to be "abnormal". Hown-er, by monitoring Nos. 10, 3 and 8, it can be made clear how they are abnormal. Where there are several kinds of work on the line such as on painting lines, the unit can be used for discriminating between different kinds of work. Suppose the unit is installed in painting line, as shown in Fig.12, and the photoelectric elements are set in the print glass, as shown in Fig. 13. Because element C is always off when the work is in position, state output takes only 8 forms: 53 FOR OFFICIAL USE (DNLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000400014405-1 - FOR OFFICIAL USF.

The unit has the following features; it takes only a few minutes to set the system because th� photcelectric elements can be set while observing the point glass. For the smallest workpiece, the photoelectric elements can be set at the desired locations in the picture because the picture can be enlarged up to about 10 times. Also, in terms of price; the unit is handy as a - check unit for or3�nary automatic assemblers. It also has the merit of easily being used with other assemblers if the original automatic assembler is scrapped because of a change of products. 3. Picture Dekecrion Photoelectric Unit (II) Another type of picture detection photoelectric unit is shown in Photo 3. It is similar to the unit described earlier in that it detects deviations from the "normal" state of tne work- piece. At the same time, it can be considered as an advanced type which does not require rearrangement of photoelectric elements. Like a television set, this unit consistently scans the screen. Ttus, after setting as in Fig.9, the "normal state" can be recorded in 2 sec. by placing "normal" work and simply pressing the "record" pushbutton switch. Only giving a"detection operation command" is required in order to allow the unit to check the workpiece against a "normal" workpiece and if it is different, to give a signal. The unit operates as follows: it scans, by using a rotating drum with pinholes, the picture of the work produced by the objective lens as shown Fig. 14,0 detects and amplifies variations in its quantity of light by using photoelectric elements and records them as analog signals on a magn,.tic tape would on the rotating drum.

ONI.Y SCIENCE AND TEMIN0LOGY OPERATING PRINCIPLES, APPLICATIONS OF AIR SENSQRS Tokyo TECHNOCRAT in English Vol 14, No 3 Mar 81 pp 34 38 [Article by Tasuku Osada, Yamanashi University] [Text] - Recently, much progress has been made in measuring and detecting techniques using industrial robots and various types of labor saving instruments. The control systerri used for this depends on the features of the overall system and uses either air pressure, oil Uressure, electronic, or mechanical sensors. Air pressure systems have the advantages of being easy to _ operate, hziving few adverse environmental characterstics, and being able to operate for long periods of time without generating a lot of heat. These characteristics contribute to the promotion of air pressure systems in the tield of ineasuring and detecting techniques to enhance automation and save labor. General air sensors can be divided intu the following: back _ pressure type, eddy type, retlecting type, collision type, deflecting type,.laminar flow- turbulent tlow type, velocity- of-flow type, supersonic type, and composite type. They are se(ected depending on the characteristics of the object to be controli:,:;. 1. Back pressure sensors Air micrometers and nozzle f7appers are detecturs that use _ air pressure. A micrometer is a device by which a change in back pressure or a cliange in Elow rate is measured by ports in a manometer. A back pressure sensor is a detecror based on this principle (refer to Fig. l), in which air pressure is suppGed from purt Ps and an air jet is emitted froiTi nozzle D. The change in hack pressure produced at this time is taken uut by port Po. The _ simple construction oi this sensor makes it dust-free and compact. Fig. ' sliows the relationsliip between sensitive space H and output Po. E3ach pressure sensors have a[arge tan0 as stiown and make excellent dimension discriminating sensors. Further, the construction of the detecting end nuzzle is simple, 58, FOR OFFIC[AL USE ONLY IV APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02108: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 FOR OFFIC7AI. USE ONL1' as shown in Fig. 3. This makes the back pressure sensur smaller. 'I'he back pressure producing section is to the rear to give a wide - scope of application. Features (1) The relation between nozzle diameter D and sensitive space H is such that the maximum sensitive space is about II4 the nozale diameter. For exampie, when the nozzle diameter is ?mm, Hmax is 0.51nm. The most economical quantiry of flow consumed is when nozzle diameter D is about 2mm. (3) When the seiisor output is connected to a t7uidics circuit, pressure Ps supplied to the sensor will be 0.5 kg/cm' G. High ~ ;,ressure of 1.5 to 3.0 kg/cm2G as is required for conventional . jir pressure circuits is not r,ecessary. +4) The response speeJ is about 400 Hz. r S) Resolution is about 11l OQmm to 1/ l 000mm. There are _ many cases where the back pressure sensor having precise - resolution is used as a sensor for air micrometers. Eddy type sensor = See Fig. 4. When air pressure is supplied from port Ps, an eddy chamber causes the air flow to swirl and be emitted from detecting port S. This causes a negative pressure at output port Pu. Fig. 5 shows the relationship between sensitive space H of the sensor and output Po of the sensor. As shown, as sensitive space H becomes smaUer and as a detecting ob,ject approar.hes the sensor, the greater the negative - pressure generated. Sensitive space Hmax is about 1?mm.

(2) As shown in Fig. 5, tan4 is small as compared with the back pressure and reflecting sensors. (3) Resolution is abuut 1110mm and is particularly suited for ON�OFF control. (4) Response speed is not greater than about 30 Hz - making the eddy current senser tlie slowest air sensor. However, eddy current sensors have good stability. 3. Reflecting type sensor See Fig. 6. When air pressure is supplied from port Ps, an air _ .jet is output from detecting nozzle S, and the tlow reflected from the surface of the detecting object is output from output port Po of the sensor. Fig. 7 shows the relationship between _ sensitive space H and Po/Ps where Po-output pressure and - Ps=supplied pressure. As shown.the output characteristics of the - reflecting type sensor are similar to thase of the back pressure type sensor. Placing Ho shown in Fig. 7 at the center of the : sensitive space, gives the outpiit better linearity in relation to the displacement of the detecting objert. Features (1) Large tano as shown in Fig. 7 and better liaearity enable - set sensitive space H to be relatively large. (2) The minimum area required for the detecting object must _ be greater than diameter p of the detecting nozzle that reflects the air jet. Pg , ~ -�r Ps 12� 8.

(4) Resolution is about 1/ l Omm to S/ l OCmm. (5) Response speed is about 400 Hz, _ 4� Confronting type sensor Fig. 8(a) shows t-,e operating principle of the confronting type sensor. When no object is between supply nozzle Ps and flow receiving nozzle Po, the air jet from supply nozzle Ps beromes the output of tlow receiving nozzle Po. Fig. 8(b) shows _ the case where on object is between P, and Po. An air jet from supply nozzle Ps is blocked by the object and cannot be received at tlciw receiving nozzle Po. In actual use, air pressure supply port Ps and output port Po are on the same axis and are arranged in aI shape as shown in Fig. 9. If the object is larger than the distance indicated by X in the Figure, a turbulent flow type shown in Fig. 10 is used. As is shown in the Figure, when ~ there is no object, the air flow from con trol nozzle Pc impinges on the air jet from supply nozzle Ps so as to cause a hubuleni flow. As a result, the output at port Po becomes very small. When the object shown intercepts tlie air jet from Ps, Ps is output at port Po as is. Hmax obtained by this system is about - 400mm. Features (1) It is used in laminar-ilow regions where the supply pressure of thc air jet is 0.5 kg/cmZ G or less, and it is best suited for detecting thin objects. - Confronting distance X is normally l Omm to 30mm. (3) The output signal is a NOT (negative) signal. (4) Response speed is about 300 Hz. _ (S) For tfie turbulent flow type sllown in Fig.10, high ~ prESSUre of about 2.0 kg/cm2G or more is required at Ps and Pc when N is 400mm.

Collision rype sensor A collision type sensar is based on the confronting type ~ sensor, the difference being that the air jet is emitted from flow receiving port Po, and that the air jet f'rom Po collides with the air jet from supply port Ps. Ps is adjusted to a higher pressure than Po. This generates a radial-jet type impact flow in the ~ vicinity of flow receiving port Po, so that a back pressure is obtained at port Po. If an object is between the ports, there is no colliding point and no back pressure output is obtained. Fig. 12 shews the relationship between the displacement of a - film-like ob;ect and nozzle diameter. Features . (1) Detection even in polluted environments dces not cause port blockage because air is exhausted from supply port Ps and flow receiving port Pu. (2) The detecting object should b;.� placed near tlie supply port. The recommended position is 2/3Y (refer to Fig. 13). (3) Has the best pressure sentivity.

Discrimination between dimensions of objects - Fig. 14 shows how object dimPnsions are discriminated = between while an object is conveyed. A back pressure type sensor is used, but an eddy type or reflecting type could be used - depending on the shape of the objects. As shown, one or two air sensors are needed. In a simple system using only one sensor, a - signal is cre.ated only when the object exceeds the normal dimensions. If discrimination between the upper and lower limit dimensions of an object is desired, two Schmidt fluidics 62 . - FOR OFFICIAL USE 3NLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007102/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 FOR nFFICIAL USE ONLY elements are used and the output of one air sensor is used as the input of each Schmidt elemer, , so that output is ubtained when it exceeds ihe upper or lower limit of the dimension determir.Pdi by the Schmidt element and trigger levels.

Detection when objects contact each other Fig. 15 siiows detection when objects are in contact with each other. Back pressure type, eddy type, and reflecting type - sensors are used. When using reflecting and confronting types using photoelectric elements, the reflecting type will give erroneous readings depending on the shape and color of the ; objects: diffused retlection is caused by diffused light and dusty environments. The confronting type cannot be used when objects are in contact with each other. (n both cases, the problem can be solved by using air sensors of the maximum height of the objects as shown. - 6-3. Detection of part, standing in a row Fig. 16 shows the detection of parts standir~g in a row Cor automatic assemb(y or welding.

Eddy type sensors can _ detect the difference between a flat surface and a curved surface as shown. Eddy type sensors can also detect ebjects ev?n if they have holes in their surfaces (for bolts, etc). 64. Recognition of objec*_s being passed ~ Fig. 17 shows how objects made of different materials are _ recognized when air-conveyed to the secor.dary process (when back pressure type, reflecting type, and eddy type sensurs are used). During conveyance by air pressure, the air pressure influences the sensor. T1ie back pressure type and reflecting _ tyre are effective in this situation as sflown in Fig. 17.

This means that air pressure for canveyance must be limited to 2kg/cm2 G or less. Cunsidering this. eddy type sensors should be used to give a signal for negative pressure. The eddy type sensor outputs a ' signal oriented more to the negative pressure created when each object passes and is not aff'ected by the air pressure used for , cunveyance. 6-5. Detection using two sensors Fig. 18 s}ows detection using two sensors (back pressure type, eddy type, and reflecting type).

Detectiou of inferior molded articles Fig. 19 shows the detection of top f7ows and waves uf bottles (back pressure type, eddy type, and reflecting type sensors are = used). Detection of inferior molded articles by photo-electric type and electr.omagnetic type sensors is limited by the material used for the molded articles. However, detection by air sensors ' does not have this drawback. A sensor is adjusted so that the space between the sensor and the object becomes H as shown, and so that the circumference of the tip of a bottle can be detected at the same time. 6-7. Recognition of striking the object Fig. 20 shows the recognition of a position to be determined by a striking board (a turbulent-flow type sensor is used). This detects inferior producis that are too short, and so forth. In this ~ system, when the thickness of an object is more than 3 mm, air pressure from Pc creates the wall adhesion phenomenon at the side of the object, so that the output signal from a detector becmmes unstable. Accordingly, film-like objects are suited for ; this system. 6-8. Detection a broken dtill Fig. 21 shows the detection of a broken drill during a ' process. Fig. 21(a) shows the state where there is no breakage, while Fig. 21(b) shows the state where a drill is broken. The sensor used is the turbulent-flow type. Detection of a broken - drill is judged by the existence of the tip of the drill. When detecting a broken drill during a process, the process conditions complicate thP location of the sensor. Accordingly, the sensor is - located so t!:at it can detect when the drill arm is returned to its = original position after drilling. Locating a sensor closer to the drill permits observation of chipping of the edge of the drill. A Torch ' /Y . ~ ~ - - - �-~--y ; B Fig. 26. Fig. 27.

Detecting :he inner diameter of a throat - Fig. 22 shows the detection of the inner diameter of the throat of a bottle (back pressure type, edge type and reflecting type sensors are used). The inner diameter of the throat of a bottle is larger than the top of the throat. This prevents _ overflow in automatic bottling. Thus, on air sensor detects what - is larger than the entrance of an object. A striking board is used to determine the position of the sensor so that the detecting position is always set at a predetermined distance from the throat tip. 6-10. fletecting width Fig. 23 shows the detection of the width of rolled plates, for - example a collision type sensor is used. When the width of a ' rolled plate reaches the upper and lower limits, a warning is issued, or it is corrected by a correcting mechanism that operates a cutting machine. With the collision type sensor, outputs having the characteristics shown in Fig. 12 can be obtained for a place thickness of 3 mm or less. They become unstable, however. for a plate thickness of about 4 mm because the fluw from supply part Ps is affected by the Koanda effert causing repealed ON and OFF signals. Tiiick plates are discriminated by gate elements using several confronting type sensors. 6-11. Detecting punch failure Fig. 24 shows the detection of defective products in punching operations (back pressure type, retlecting type, eddy - type, and confronting type sensors are used). Defective products in press-punching operations must be visually inspected by an operator or must be inspected by a measuring instrument. Defective products are mostly caused by the feed of hoop materials. Generally, grip feeders and pinch rollers are used and defects are caused when regulated dimension feed is prevented by shippaee ur backward movement. Whedier punched piec:es are fed in regulated dimension F is detected synchronously with the upper half of a press.

This method is used to ~ detect clegged spray gun nozzles, where it would be dangerous for operators because of poisonous chemicals. Products dealing with gases must be explosion-proof. As shown in Fig. 26, presence of mist is detected by an air sensor with a timer that causes an air cylinder to push a nozzle. This system can use full , air pressure. 6-14. Detecting a web loop Fig. 27 shuws the detection of a web loop in materials. The figure shows a turbulent-tlow type air sensor, detecting loop positions to keep the quantity of materials stored in a feed loop of a web constant and to activate a driving well for increases or decreases in the size uf tlie loop. One air sensor is enough if the limit of the loop is described as a single value, while two sensors are needed if both an upper and lower limit must be set. 6-15. Automatic torch chasing Fig. _'R shows automatic torch chasing in welding (back pressure type, eddy type, and reflecting type sensors are used.)

Elements of Fiiigers Fingers at present are leaders of automation techniques and various typed have been developed to meet certain needs. No doubt tlie requirements mentioned in the above four items will stimulate er~gineers' desire fur development of inechanical types of fingers which are most responsive to various needs. The rea- sons are that they perform three functions of "pick", "grasp" - and "clasp", according to workpieces from small to large, and are adjustablc for positioning and deformation for obtaining ac- curacy. As contrasted to mecflanical fingers, there are absorbent - fingers, which utilize eith,-r vacuum or magnetism. Improve- ments in suitable techniques are widening their scope.

More specialized fingers are clamped with hands. utilize springs. ur clamp tingers or the like, which are made of rubber or plastic. These will be atso taken up in other ~ feature articles. Discussion here will be focused on mechanical fingers. They depend on four kinds of motive power as mentioned below: (a ) Electric type (motors a�d solenoids) (b) Hydraulic type (oil pressure linear cylinders and rotary cvlinders (c) Pneumatic type (air pressure linear cylinders and rotary cylinders) (d) Mechanical type (combination of coiled springs, cams, wires, etc.) These are used in a single unit or in combinatiun. They may he used depending on purpose or in accordance with power, - requirements. Other needs in using fingers include sensors. These are various kinds based on tlie use ol electricity, air pressure and light. Sensors may be divided into the following four types: (a) Presence (sense of touch) (b) Location (sense of location) (c) Strength (sense of pressure) Oiit of these. the need for sensing the presence of work in (a) are the most in number for lingers used for industrial purposes - af1CI are cuncentrated on clampine.

Mechanism of Mechanical Fingers Mechanical fingers are used extensivety in industrial use and probably occupy about 80% ot uiv:.~ used industrially. However, the mechanisms vary with different manufacturers. � fher2 are many disigned to suit specific purposes owing to the preference of designers and Qatent probelms. Designs put on the market by makers are mostly mechanical fingers, types of which have increased recently. F. considerable number will be used in future years and they will become standard items. Figs. i to 10 show basic types of inechanical fingers and Figs. - 11 and 12 show basic attachments. All the figures show closed ciamp type. Fig. 1 does not require so much expianation. Whcn a tapered section moves downward by the action of motive power and opens ihe movable suppores having a rotational body, claws are closed around the axial support of rotation. This type is 71~ F'(1R 01, FIC'1 ~ I. I I5F (?NLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02148: CIA-RDP82-44850R000400014405-1 relatively precise. However, if the tapered section fluctuates with respect to the center axis, deviation is caused and precision is not possible, as in a collet chuck. Another defect is that motive power extending upwazds increases the total length and becomes a bar which dces not allow other than lateral grasps. Fig. 2 shuws a typical link system in which ciamping is by drawing the power upwards. Deviation at the movable support causes both claws to move seParately and worsens clamping accuracy. Fig. 3 also shows a link system as aFig. 2. In this case, a downward force from above moves the cisws in a clamping direction. The link systems change opening and closing freely with a number of supports. Fig. 4 shows a rack and pinion type which drives claws _ simultaneously and with reliatility. The power also moves upwards to ciamp and when opened the rack withdraws towards the claws. This causes short claws to collide with the work. If _ the rack dces not come between the claws, it should be arranged as in Fig. 5. In Fig. 5, when power moves downwards, claxnping takes place, the gears mesh with each other and accuracy is assured. However, backlash cannot be prevented in the case of gears and - the force used is limited. The defect is also that dust and foreign matter clogs the gears in a environment, making the motion unfavourable. Fig. 6 shows a type suited for compact fingers, which requires a litde complicated working but is very convenient to use. However, it has a tendenry to deviate to one side and thus cannot be used without further measures being taken. ~ -73 . . ~Mml ' Fig.4. Fig.5. Fig.6. Fig.7. Fig.8.

In this case, the work is pressad to that side with high accuracy, att; i:ung about �O.Oi of positioning. However, this is inconvenient in grasping the work and opening on both sides in more desirabic in. this respect. , Most of the above examples use me!:ve power to close and clamp and have defects in that when the motive power fails for some reason, the work is dropped. Accordingly, the type shown _ in Fig. 8 is designed on the basis of reverse thinking in t,hat it is clamped with a coiled spring and is opened when motive power is applied. The defect is however that a work must be such that it can be clamped witlt a coiled spring and that a motive power must be strong enough to open the force of that spring. Here is a contrivance with claws as in Figs.6 and 8 which meet at the center. The contrivance is that a stopper is attached to a claw ort one side as if when closed that sids is in a fixed state as in Fig.7. For this purpose, power for the claw on the fixed side is made greater and moves faster so that it arrives at the stopper before the claw on the pressing side reaches the work. Clamping force acts on one side only and does not cause errors. Eig. 9 shows a rotational body used as motive power by which fingers make a parallel movement for clamping. The above-mentioned fingers have made an R9 movement for clamping but this type causes Parallet movement and as a natural consequence complies with a desire to grasp gently. This is also a type in which claws are moved by rotational movement, and has an advantage that it is compact as comoared with open angles or open dimensions. However, the cost becomes a litUe hiRher. ~~w w f - - i oo - _ - . . F... r, 1 . y F=--  ~I _i, j r' ~ � ~ . . - L-T . Sensor :U Ir Photo 3.

A way for solvinF this prnhlem is the samc as in Figs. b and X. Fig. 1 I is entirely different from the types mentioned ahuve. This type is called a collet chuck tyi,e. In its simplest furm. the chuck is provided with a spring and is held by frictiun only. The collet chuck type rnust have a simple form such as a round bar and rectangular bar and the precisiun is very high with a deviation coming within �0.01. Tlie onty defect is that the amoun'. of upening is small and a jamming phenomenon causes the work to stick, preventing it to fall down and release. It is accordingly desired diat an extruding pin should be - provided extending from the center to eject the work. Fig. 12 shows a contrivance uF a type in which the claws make an RO rraotion to clamp. It is pruvided with an equalizer at the end of a claw. When the center of a work deviates a little, it never fails to be brouglit to the center at the clamp. Instead of doing so, it has been devised to grasp softly or to register ot the - center by psoviding a rubber pot or cantilever spring at the tip of the claws. Fig. 13 is a kind oF scnsor, whirh issues a signal at thc failure to grasp wurk when clamped un in the work's abseiice.l'hat is. a claw shitts more to the center at the absence of a work and passes the position where the work usually exists. and thus collides with a limit stopper. In this instance, it strikes a limit switch to issue a signal. 1'llis is the most inexpensive detecting methud. Other detecting methods are that a weak electric current is usecl . m O U u - v v m H x > � t ~ o D I-o 0 a ~ E c A u E Q a ~ m o ~ ~ u - V L T x y F ; 0 3 U = d tJ O ~ 0 q L y ~ rn ~ U U m O j ~ 0 L F- n -o E ~ ~ c .

ONI.l' - SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY INCREASING DEMAND NOTI(ID FOR VARIA3LE SPEED MOTORS Tokyo TECfINOCRAT in English Vol 14, Na 3 Mar 81 pp 45-46 - [Text] [t is not only in recent years that !he need for attaining variable speeds of motor has been recognized. The fact that - control of the primary voltage of an induction motor varies the number of rotations was known in the days when the invention had just been made. [n the production field, this knowledge has been utilized for ever increasing productivity. For example, the speed of conveyers is varied in accordance with the dextrity of the employees on the assembly line of a factory. Variable speed motors have found many such uses. However, it is from the viewpoint of energy saving that variable speed motors are now in the spotlight. It has been ascertained that they unexpectedly effect energy saving and that - they pay for themselves in a very short time. In the USA, the Energy Department is promoting the high efficiency of three- phase sauirrel-cage induction motors and has set a standard (NEMA � MEGIO) as a guide for enforcing effective energy saving by motors, and is taking a new look at the use of motors. [iereafter, stress will be placed on software, as to its selection and c-..:.�, such as what kinds of motors are best used far reducing - electric power consumed. The way of thinking should also be changed from considering the initial cost first to the total cost Cirst, including running cost. Industrial moto:s are used everywhere. Careful examination of their uses has found that there are not a few cases where they are continuously operated under a given load, and further that there are quite many cases where the load varies with time and season. The use of a constant speed motor for such variable loads lowers efficiency with a decreased load and also does not - serve to save energy because of the unvariable capacity of the - motor. Contary to this, the use of a variable speed motor permits the output of the motor to be lowered by lowering the speed of the motor with a decrease in the load. Accordingly, a decrease of motor efficiency at lower speeds is compensated for + by a comparable decrease in the output, whereby energy saving is attained. � 80 FOR OFFIC[AL L;SE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02148: CIA-RDP82-44850R000400014405-1 N'OR OFFi('IAI. [JSE ONLl' Therefore, a user using a constant speed motor for a variable load should change the motor itself for a more efficient one, _ energy saving can be attained by the following methods: (1) it - should be replaced by a variable speed motor, (2) an inverter should be interposed between the conventiona( constant speed motor and the commercial electric source for obtaining fre- quencies corresponding to the load so as to change the rotation number of the motor, etc. _ There are many kinds of variable speed rnotors, including a primary voltage control motor which controls the input voltage of a conventional induction motor (Squirrel-cage AC motor). [t is necessary to select the type most suitable for the user. The - recent trend however highlights a system for controlling speed with inverters, and it is frequently used for conventional squirrel-cage induction motors. [t is also noticed that super- precision rotational control is attained by combining it with _ synchronous motors and that high-speed rotation is attained by combining it with high-frequency motors. This inverter is briefly a device by which the frequency of an electric source can be varied. It is generally called a variable frequency inverter. [ts mechanism is that commercial AC is full wave rectified by an inverter (so-called rectifier) to obtain DC with few pulsations, which is thereafter converted into AC of variable voltage and variable frequency. When an induction motor is controlled by this method, its own solid structure and brushlessness do not require any maintenance. Moreover, the low price makes it favorable with the need for energy saving and maintenance-free equipment in industries centering around the steel industry. i ypes of inverter include voltage types, current types, and pulse width modulation (PWM) types. What most companies are now giving their attention to is a PWM variable frequency inverter. It is reported that the recent start of quantity productian of large-capacity GTO (Cate Turn-0ff) thyristers has rapidly promoted its practical use and has made it possibls to - effec;t control of high efficiency and wider range (about I to 109) by operating a knob (frequency control). Especially, the use of the PWM control method has elevated the power factor of the electric source so that noise and power factors have little influence on Yhe electric source. Eurther, improvement in output wave shapes at lower speed ranges and reduction of higher harmonics have reduced the heat generated by the motor itself. Most motor manufacturing companies have already started production of these inverters, most of which can be used not only for general induction motors but also for totally- enclosed motors, exFlosion-proof motors and corrosion-proof motors. The smaU size and light weight allow them to occupy smaller space for installation. Thanks to its numerous merits, it has already been intro- duced for sheet metal cutter, winding machines, stret6ers, and uther melalworking machines, conveying machines such as conveyers and feeders, bandsaw milis, woodworking machines, wood lamina:ing machines, machines for use in agriculture, 81 FOR t)FFICIA L USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02108: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 FOR OFF[CIAL l;SN. ONI.Y forestry and itsheries, plastics working machines, etc. A system by which a set of inverter units carries out speed control for several motors has been put into practical use for spinning machines by which a number ol small-capacity induction motors is employed for wuiding and traversing. There are many kinds of variable speed motors besides those using inverters. Each company in the industry is doing its best to strengthen its line-up of inverters. However, the inverter is not everything. From all the kinds of variable speed motors, the most handy and that with the lowest cost is the primary voltage contrul type. Its input dces not correspond to the reduction uf speed and tfiis is why it is not called sn energy saving type. However, it is still in big demand for pumps, fans etc. which liave square reduced torque characteristics anc: require stepless speed change, or for conveyers, hoists, twisring machines, etc. which have constant torque characteristics at varied rotational numbers and require stepless speed chai?ge. Recent!y, types exclusively used for blowers and pumps, which havz the same fixing dimensions as that of wide-use motors ha%e been manufactured and are easily substituted for wide-use motors. Ailother conventiunal system frequently used is th.e eddy current coupling system, which is cunsidered to occupy more than half the demand for variable speed mutors when joined with the primary voltage control system. In this systen;, an induction motor is directly connectPd witti an eddy current coupling and PG (spced detecting AC generator), and thereby _ transmissiun turque (rom the motor is controlled by controlling the excited current )f the eddy current ruupling su as to - maintain a set speed even when the load varies. Despite its luw energy saving effect, it has a wide range (1 to 10) of speed control and is inexpensive. it is theretore considered that there will be a big demand for it for such loads as i:i pumps, fans, cunveyers, winders, crushers. centritugal casting macnines, etc.. which have constant torque characteristics at varied rotational number aiid require stepless speed changes. - In the Field of DC motors, the thyrister Leonard system will be used for work that requires a wide range of speed control, because of its adventageous economic factor and its high reliability. It is mainly used for NC machine tools. The demerits inherant in DC motors, that is, the fact that the existance of a brush makes titeir maintenar.ce difficult, have obliged a shift to AC motors in some uses. Thyrister motors, in which thyristers are substituted for the reotifying mechanism of a DC motor, ~ have been welcomed becaure of their good reliability and wide control range in general i:idustries, for iron manufacture, etc. " The secondary resistance control system obtaining a variable spced fur wound-rotor type motor o has heen welcomed ior the winding uf a rrane which involves a hig1i frequency uf starting ~ uperatiun.

The test enryme reac;tor is intended to standardize, like semiconOuctor, the characteristics of enzymes which are essen- tial to reaction systems being the heart of an engineering bio-reactor. It has sufficiently high functions to obtain ample data with strikingly much higher speed and accuracy than by manual studies. Thus, it is expected to serve as a laboratory i automation method. The Institute of P}lysical and Chemical Research has since 1977 been pursuing research of bio-reactors.* One of the pur- poses of this project, af present, is the trial manufacture of a polypeptide type tester which is able to automatically synthe- size pulypeptides useful to human beings. The Institute intends to manufacture test bio-reactor No. 1 by tlie end of 1983 to syntliesize a peptide with about lU amino acids combined, and in 1986, the last year of the project, to synthesize a peptide with ?fl amino acicis combined. . Tlie greatest technological aspect of bio--eactors is enzymes which act as catalysts in the combination of amino acids. The bio-reactor under study, in particular, is a type which has severa] - reaction systesms placed under computer control and which is designed to obtain peptides for industrial use in the future. The least requirement for it is to stabilize the characteristics of enzymes for live materials.

Reportedly, the Instisute has proved by examining its microwave response, that the new junction has excellent electrical characteristics. While it shows high performance and has a long life, the junction is easy to mass-produce and this is expected to contribute greatly to making Joseplison junctions practically usable. Apparantly. the experimentally made junction has a weak tie only 0.07511 long and has an electrostatic capacity of only ahout 0.04pF. Also. it acliieves over 0.3mV for the production of critical current and - resistance, is highly resistant to thermal cycles between room temperature and the temperature of liquid helium and }ias a life of more than 1 year in room temperature and in the atmosphere. 1. Features of Semiplanary Junction Fig. 1 shows a variety of Josephson junctions. They have a structure consistiof 2 super-conductors (indicated by 1 and 2) electrically weakly connected together witli a certain substance (indicated by 3). Operable at the temperature of liquid llelium, they act as non-linear inductances. A semiplanar junction is shown in Fig. 1.(e). ln its structure, this is a]lybrid of tlie [3] most typical conventional Josephson junctions (a) a super- conductive microbridge (c) a thin�Cdm tunnel junction and (g) a point contact junction. The semiplanar junction was bom as a development of supPrconductive microbridge types. The superconductive microbridge junction consists of a single superconductor wluch is made by micro-maciiining a weak tie less tlian l� long anci wide. This junction, liowever, Ilas a narrow range of working temperatures and is Ilard to Iiandle because it is easily broken by charges in the discharge from a human body. An improved version of tlus is shown in (b). Because of its structure, it is called a plana- Josephson junction.

Again, the planar Josephson junction permits the selection of _ any material for the weak tie (3). If bismuth, w}uch has large specitic resistance, is selected, the weak tie, even ah^ut 4011 wide, provides an electrical connection which is not too strong and an element with high performance can be obtained. A weak tie 40� wide is less kely to be broken by discharge from the human body than a weak tie less tilan l� wide. A current flows through the bismuth tie between the super-conductors 1 and 2 and the bismuch tie on the super-conductors will have not effect _ upon anything. In addition, the planar junction was alsc devised by the Institute and was used as a basis for the semi-planar junction. The key point in obtaining high-performance junctions is to minimize the length L of the weak tie. It is impossible to make a slit less than O.l� in a film of super-conductive niobium which is 0.2� thick and wluch has low mutual diffusion with bismuth, even by making full use of electron beam lithography and the most advanced techniques of micro-machining which have been developed for ultra-LSI elements. _ Flowever, this is not always true of the new structure shown in (e) in Figure. The effective length of the bismuth weak tie which connects the two niobium forks 1 and 2 depends on the ' thickness of the rock crystal film (a) which is used as a spacer (insulating layer). [f the iock crystal is 0.075� t}ick, it is equivalent to a 0.075� groove provided in a 0.2u niobium film, and this is considered to have overcome the limitations of - ;;ucromachining techniques. - The film tunnel junction (c) is the element which I BM has leen applying in computer circuits. Although it shows high performance, it is not sufficiendy resistant to thermal cycles between the temperature of liquid helium (working tempera- cure) and room temperature. When left in the atmosphere at room temperature, it will gradually lose its characteristics. These drawbacks arise because the weak tie (3) consists of a very thin ~,lumbum oxixe layer about SOA (a stack oF 10 stoms). If it is desired in the manufacture of computers t!iat irregularities of characteristics of junction elements be restricted to within 10%, it is necessary to cont,ol the thickness of the plumbum oxide films w;thin an accuracy of 0.2A. O.:.A equals 1 /5 of the diameter of the smallest atom hydrogen. Therefore, it is a natural outcome that a sajidwich-type Josephson junction, made by using a semiconductor 9T a metalloid, instead of by insulating plumbum oxide for ttie weal: tie, has emerged. In the sandwich junction, iising a metalloid teUunium as the material for the weak de, the tellurium film is 400A thick, or 10 �imes thicker than a plumbwn oxide tie, and has static capacity several times smaller than the eqvivalent tie. The 400A tellurium filrn (3) has a number of pinholes, as shown in Fig. 2. If the surface of the tellurium film is oxidized 88 - FOR OFFICIAL USE ONI,V APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 d FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY - befoie vapor deposition on the superconductor in order to prevent the superconductor from short-circuiting through the pinholes, it will fill in the pinholes but will also simultaneously oxidize the surface of the tellu*ium tie. - Current flows from the superconductor (I) to the tellurium tie (3), the oxidized tellurium and the superconductor (2), as _ indicated by the anows in the Figure. The presence of tellurium thes oxidized can cause irregularity of characteristics. If, for the semiplanar junction, the rock crystal is oxidized to fill in the pinholes, as shown in Fig. 3, current does not flow from 1 to 4 and 2 but flows from 1 to 3 and 2, as indicated by the arrows in the Figure. This will cause characteristics not to be limited by the presence of ox:dized tellurium or oxidized bismuth. The reason for this is that in the semiplanar junction, the functions of the sracer (4) which spaces out the 2 supercon- ductors are comp;etely separated from those of the weak tie (3) through whicr --urrent flows. This is in contrast to the arrangement of the sandwich type. _ Recently, tellurium and germanium films free of pirLholes have been made available. For the sandwich structure, however, the superconductor electrode (2) lias to be fitted on the very thin tellurium or germanium fiLn without tearing it. For this purpose, vapor deposition of a lead alloy with a lower melting point is used. _ In the semiplanar junction, the rock crystal spacer is sufficiently strong to make it possible to use niobium, which has - a long life, as a superconductor on it. Even if the rock crystal spacer is torn while the niobium superco;iductor is fitted on it, a liquid-heiium test can be effectively conducted to scrt out short-circuited stiperconductors before the weak tie (3) is fitted. Because of the difference in the level of mutual metallic diffusion, the niobium-bismuth-niobium junction has a life expectancy at room temperature more than 100 times that of the lead-bismutlrlead junction. The point-contact junction (g) is unstable in mechanical vibration, though it is very high-perfotmance element. ln order ~ to eliminate tius drawhack. a point-contact bridge (0 using a Film has heen made. Imagining a structure m:iJe hy cutting off - dotted-line portions in f, we have a structure P. This is similar to the semiplanar type e. Like the point�contact bridge, the semiplanar junction has a nearly ideal geometrical figure with W. almost irfinite "thickness" in the direction vertical to he axis of tlie weak tia of the superconductor electrode. Furthermore, the ~ semiplanar element nas t}ie advantages of being easier to make than the puint-contact hridge :und of pennitting free selection of weak tic matcrials. A_,ain. the seminlanar junction has other Pmminent features as follows. In the microbridgc and the point-rontact junction, a - weak connection between superconductor electrodes is attained by geometrically narrowing the portion of one super- _ ;,onductor, while in the thin-film tunnel junctian an insulator is used as tlle material fur the weak tie, and a weak connection is _ attaineJ by making use of the properties uf this material.

USF: UNI.Y NEW AUDIO SYNTHESIS METHOD DESCRIBED Tokyo TECHNOCRAT in English Vol 14, No 3 Mar 81 pp 53-55 [Text] Musastiino Electrical Communication Laboratory of Nippon : Telegraph and Telephone - Public Corp. invented PARCOR method of audio systhesis by a characteristic parameter in 1969. However, it has recently devised a new method called the LSP (Line Spectrum Pair) method which is sul,erior to PARCOR. The laboratory has also succeeded in integrating an _ LSP audio synthesver on a singie chip, which reduces size - and price. 1. Vocalization Niechanisms of Man and L.SP Synthesizer ln tlie vocalization mechanism of man, a pulse-]ike sound wave is generated as a result of vibration of the vocal cords in the throat, caused by air sent from the lungs and passing ! through the trachea. This pulse sound cannot produce a ' dislinguishable vowel or consonant. But, as the sound is going . through from the throat to the nose, it changes into a speech Sound recognized as a word. This is Uecause a resonance freyuency of the ural cavity is changed by the vocai organs, ctiin, tongue, and ]ips, to give plioneme a specific tone quality. Th^ passage of a specch sound from the throat to the lips can be compared to an acoustic pipe whose cross�sectional area, cham_es with the position. The cross section is varied in shape by motion of the vocal organs. While the outer end of the pipc is upen, the end on the throat side opens and closes as tlie vocal cords vibrate. Then. when this is simplified - by rcplacin- thc throat-side ccmditions with two boundary conditions of being completely open or blocked, a pair of resonance frequencies ere determined hy the respective bound- ary condiiiuns. This pair of frequencies is cailed a line spectrum pair (LSP). It is known that the cross-sectional shape of an acoustic pipe is uniquely determined by ISP. Audio svnthesis based on LSP-parameters is as folluws: Tfie synthesizer is composed of a pulse generation circuit that initiates vocal cord vibratiori, a noise generation circuit to initiate turbulent noise for a voiceless sound, and a filter to initiate the resonance cliaracteristic of tlie acoustic pipe, 91 ~ FOR OFFICIAL USE aNLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/48: CIA-RDP82-44850R000400014405-1 FUR OF'Fl('IAL USE ONLY In the LSP sytitlicsizer, infurmation a pulse sound sourcc and a noise source, en amplitudc, a pulse per3od, and 8�10 _ LSP-parameters are input to the synthesizer. 2. Features of LSP � When a sound is expressed in terms of PARCOR or LSP parameters, the property of a parameter is determined by ttie folluwing. The accuracy required in coding parameters, and flic time intervals at which parameters must be updated. Tliese are related to information content required for audio syntiicsis and qualit; of a synthesized sound, which is an important property of characteristic parameters. Let us compare the new LSP method with the PARCOR method heretofore widely used, in the two points mentioned above. First, in the accuracy of parameter coding, 4-8 coding bits corresponding to types of parameters are necessary for PARCOR. In ISP, all parameters can be coded in abou14 bit;. An experiment has revealed that the number of coding bits required in LSP is only about 809'0 of that in PApCOR when distortion ot synthesized sound due to parameter coding is kept equal in both cases. - Next is an explanation of the update freqvency of parameters. As a man vocalizes, a sound parameter vares all the iime corresponding to motions of the vocal organs. While updating parameters at a high frequency of 200 cycles per second, a synthesized sound, with good tone quality Sound peasaqe - ~ Throat a ea-sectional E I Sound weve , Sound passage Blocked ' .

But, this results in an unnatural _ sound. Then, variations in the synthesized sounds are smoothed by interpolating intermediate parameters into those sent to the synthesizer sequencially. Errors in interpolation in LSP parameters are almost equal to those in PARCOR, even when the update fre luency of LSP is reduced to 75% of that in PARCOR. � It can be sPen from these facts that, in the LSP method, only 60% of the information required in PARCOR, tvhich _ was formerly considered excellent, is enough to get almost _ the same tone-quality. As stated previously, LSP�parameters are closely related to the resonance frequency of the sound passage, which is an ' important cliaracteristic in view of hearing the correct sound. ~ Therefore, they are suitable pot only for parametric audio synthesis, but also law synthesis of an arbitrary word. - 3. One-C~ C-MOS ISI Though the LSP audio synthesis method 'nas a number of excetlent characteristics as described above, its utility value will be lowered if it needs a large and expensive sy -sis device. The laboratorj has thoroughly examined a circuit system _ to produce the LSP audio synthesizer on a singte ISI chip. An CSI for LSP audio synthesis has just been trial manufac- - tured, xnd the expected performance has been ascertained. This LSI has a number of excellent characteristics, which can be summarize3 with the following three points: (1) A rynthesized sound of superior quantity can be generated from a small amount of i.zformation. This is almost entirely _ due to tlie excellent LSP synthesis method, however, there various other devices must be considered. For example, the parameter update frequency can be adjusted to be a variation velocity of a sound parameter. The adjustment can decrease - the update frequency by 2540% without deteriorating the quality of the synthesized sound, and consequently even less information is required for the synthesis. (2) The amount of power consumed is small, and the permit- ted range of power-souece voltage is wide.. This has been achieved by using C-MOS technology. And all the operations necessary for parameter interpolation or realization of a sound-passage resanance filter are performed by the bit serial- arithmetic method. The circuit is designed so as not to produce any dead time, thus requires fewer gates and less power. 93 FOR OFFIC[AL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/08: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400010005-1 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (3) The [S[ 1as a fully flexible interface built�in to connect it to external devices.
