(240126) -- WUHAN, Jan. 26, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Driver Ni Long gets on route inspection train DJ5191 at a bullet train maintenance base in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, Jan. 26, 2024. The route inspection train DJ5191/DJ5192, with no passengers on it, carries staff members on different duties in search of security threats along the railway section between Wuhan Railway Station and Huangmei East Railway Station. Ni Long, a high-speed train driver, began his work on DJ5192 early on Friday morning, which marked the start of China's Spring Festival travel rush in 2024. "With a speed of 250 kilometers per hour, the train runs about 70 meters a second, so we need to be absolutely focused to find any tiny abnormalities along the way," said Ni. (Xinhua/Wu Zhizun)

Mitutech's AI-Based Visual Inspection Support System

Mitsutec (Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture) has developed a visual inspection support system that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI). When the user wears the smart glasses, the system displays abnormalities such as dirt on the object to be inspected. Currently, the mechanization of inspection is progressing, but the final inspection often relies on visual inspection. In order to help pass on the skills of visual inspection, the company will appeal the use of this system mainly to those who have little experience in inspection. In preparation for the trial sales, the company will accumulate inspection image data in various lighting environments to improve the accuracy of AI judgment. Mitsutec has been building production lines on consignment for specific customers. In April, the company established a "New Business Department" within the company with a 10-person team to develop its own products.

KMC's AI system for preventing press forming defects.

KMC (Takatsu-ku, Kawasaki City), in collaboration with En Industries (Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture), has developed a "predictive and preventive AI system" that records the operating status of presses, detects problems with dies, and allows artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically stop operations. The system is scheduled to go on sale in April 2020. The company expects annual sales of 200 million yen. In the new system, the AI learns the data of the equipment under normal conditions and gradually improves the accuracy of judgment in case of abnormalities. KMC is in charge of the overall system and sensor development. En Industries will manufacture the sensors. The number of sensors to be provided can be increased or decreased according to individual requests such as the size of the mold. Until the product goes on sale, they will invite companies to monitor and collect data to further improve the accuracy of the system.

Guinness calls Japanese thermometer world's smallest

TSUKUBA, Japan - The Guinness World Records book has named a thermometer (release photo) using a carbon nano tube as the world's smallest thermometer, its developer, the National Institute for Materials Science, said Dec. 3. The thermometer, developed by Yoshio Bando and another scientist at the government-affiliated institute in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture is a tube formed by carbon atoms. Measuring about 85 nanometers in diameter and several thousand nanometers in length, it can measure temperatures between 18 C and 490 C with a 0.25 degree notch. It can be used to measure temperatures in capillary blood vessels and detect abnormalities in computer chips. (Kyodo)
