FIFA to showcase goal-line technology at Club World Cup

YOKOHAMA, Japan - Photo taken at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama on Dec. 5, 2012, shows a ball with an embedded sensor and a watch for referees used in GoalREF goal-line technology, which was successfully demonstrated to the media. GoalREF employs embedded wire coils that allow the exact position of a ball to be relayed to a referee's vibrating watch in under a second using a magnetic curtain draped around the goal. FIFA will unveil two systems of goal-line technology at the Club World Cup to be held from Dec. 6. GoalREF technology will be installed at the Yokohama stadium while the Hawk-Eye system will be given a run at Toyota Stadium outside Nagoya during the tournament.

Helical gears manufactured using a new method of vibration press

Helical gears manufactured using a new method of vibration press

Amada Holdings (HD) has developed a method to reduce the machining time of gears used in transmissions with Subaru by 75% and the total cost by 30% compared to the conventional method. The new method replaces machining with presses instead of machine tools. A servo press machine with a high degree of freedom in control presses the material intermittently as if it were vibrating. The company devised a method of pressurizing the material and filling the dies with oil. The company aims to put this new method to practical use as soon as possible, as it enables mass production of high-precision gears at low cost. This is a new method of fluid pulse forging for helical gears (helical gears) with diagonal tooth threads, and is the result of Amada Orii (Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture), an affiliate of Amada HD, and Subaru. A related patent has been jointly applied for. (Photo taken on June 7, 2019, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

New speaker built into LCD developed

TOKYO, Japan - Photo shows a personal computer incorporating what is claimed to be the world's first-ever speaker built into a liquid crystal display (LCD) unveiled Sept. 17 by NEC Corp. The new speaker, jointly developed by Authentic Ltd. and NEC AccessTechnica Ltd., produces sound by vibrating the surface of an LCD. With the use of the new speaker, PC users can feel as if the person on the display is actually speaking because the sound comes directly from the display, the companies said. (Kyodo)
