Annual world energy consumption will increase 4.5 times compared with the present due to Chinese motorization. So, we consider that energy saving and CO/sub 2/ reduction in the transport sector is important. We estimate that the basic unit of energy consumption by an ultra lightened automobile is one-third compared with the present when applying CFRP to an automobile. In the following, in 2050, the amount of energy saving by applying CFRP to Chinese automobiles is about 450 Mtoe (mega ton of oil equivalent) which is 150% of the current annual Japanese total energy consumption, compared with BAU (business as usual) case. We consider the effect of ultra-lightened automobiles on the environmental problems due to Chinese motorization. At once, we identify that discontinuous CF (carbon fiber)/TP (thermoplastics) preforming for a composite can be realized in experiment, and discuss that improvement in mechanical properties, mitigation of environmental burdens and cost saving of CFRP parts compared with lightened metal parts in mass production is necessary for producing an ultra lightened automobile.","PeriodicalId":217614,"journal":{"name":"2003 EcoDesign 3rd International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133542588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated the effects of metallization thickness on soldering properties in a variety of lead-free metallization materials. When no oxide film has formed, the metallization thickness affects the wetting speed at the initial phase but has no effect on the ultimate wetting state. Better wetting can be achieved by setting the flux activity to a suitable level than by increasing the soldering temperature. With Sn-Bi metallizations, the amount of Bi at the connecting parts increases as the metallization becomes thicker, causing the connection strength to decrease. Also, with a Bi content of 5%, the strength is low regardless of the metallization thickness.","PeriodicalId":217614,"journal":{"name":"2003 EcoDesign 3rd International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131180759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the size of the peak shift on each device is small, by combining large numbers of devices, it is possible to show large effects.","PeriodicalId":217614,"journal":{"name":"2003 EcoDesign 3rd International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129165082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In conclusion, non-Freon environmental refrigerators with capacious spaces and useful functions may still have marketability in Japan and will be accepted by the Japanese consumers, even if they have a 26000 yen higher price than other non-environmental refrigerators. However, the Chinese market tends to accept refrigerators that are easy to use and are from well-known brands.

As a result, the service value of the mobile phones increases 2.50 in one and a half years, with the Eco-efficiency factor as 2.07. Also, the service value of the scanners goes up 2.47, with the Eco-efficiency Factor as 2.13 in two years. In addition, utilizing core hardware specifications is proposed when quantifying the service value of multi-functional products, such as personal computers, PDAs and mobile phones. Core hardware evaluation enables us to quantify the service value of multi-functional products, where the availability and perception of services differ from person to person. Beyond that, core hardware evaluation allows us to correspond to new unexpected product functions in the future. In contrast, uni-functional products such as scanners in this case study can be evaluated as their product functions that customers perceive.","PeriodicalId":217614,"journal":{"name":"2003 EcoDesign 3rd International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115771388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
