Therefore, strengthening soil and water conservation work to prevent natural disasters is a continuous and necessary work. However, people and machines are not easy to reach the bare land on the mountain, so the planting is difficult to do. In this study we intend to develop planting materials that can be carried and spread by UAV for the purpose of carrying out the work of bare ground planting in the mountains. A biodegradable polymer, polyacrylamide (PAM), was chosen as the matrix. By combining other materials, such as grass seeds, fertilizers and other additives, the seeding granules were produced for drone throwing. Because the matrix affects the distribution of the granules on the ground after throwing, in this study the morphology of PAM on silica surface was observed by an optical microscope (OM) and an atomic force microscope (AFM) to understand the interaction between the matrix and the ground. And in order to understand the effects of the matrix on the seed germination, ryegrass seeds were selected for the germination test. OM images show that the PAM film on the glass slide expands outward from the center and branches therefrom, showing a dense dendritic structure, and the closer to the center point, the more the dendritic structure. AFM images depict that the granular structure formed at the central portion is large, the pores between the granular portions are also large, and the granular structure formed at the interval portion is small and dense. PAM solutions on the glass slide do not immediately flow outward due to the large viscosity. However, the evaporation of water induces the stretch of PAM molecule, and makes it gradually deposits and adsorbs on the glass slide. All the facts give the evidences that PAM can be spread on silicon oxide and the adsorption effect is very good. The germination experiment showed that the planting granule formula used had no effect on the germination of ryegrass, and had the effect of promoting growth of the germinated young grass. Finally, the artificial and UVA throwing granule tests showed that the planting granules could successfully attached to the ground or slope, and the grass germinated and grew well.","PeriodicalId":438307,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing (ICAM)","volume":"267 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122179510","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}

This process integrates the chemical energy and physical energy to reduce the thickness and planarize the surface of wafer. In CMP process, the slurry is a key material to use its silica abrasive nanoparticles distributed on the polishing pad to cut the passivation layer of the wafer surface. In our previous researches, electro kinetic force (EKF) is applied to assist CMP process (EKF-CMP system) with great development potential. This study uses COMSOL Multiphysics analysis software with three modules, electric current, laminar flow and particle tracing, to simulate the dynamic behaviors of abrasive nanoparticles in the slurry under the influence of electro osmosis flow. The results show that the design with positive and negative staggered electrodes produces the convection flow pattern of abrasive particle in the slurry. The simulation result of particles’ velocity field is in good agreement with the experimental result by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) method. To quantify the random motions of particles, this study defines the granular temperature as the specific fluctuation kinetic energy of particles. The granular temperature is introduced to be an index to measure the strength of particles fluctuation in the slurry. With the design of bidirectional electrode, the granular temperature increase in both Cu-Blanket film CMP and glass CMP systems. For Cu-Blanket film CMP system, EKF can improve 22.29% of material removal rate (MRR). While for glass CMP system, EKF can improve 9.52% of MRR. The Pearson correlation coefficient between granular temperature and MRR in Cu-Blanket film EKF-CMP and glass EKF-CMP systems are 0.94 and 0.91, respectively, so that the granular temperature can indicate the performance of material removal in EKF-CMP process appropriately. Appling the concept of granular temperature to investigate the particle behavior in CMP slurry is very innovative. The results of this study can be used as a reference for the essential design of the EKF-CMP system.","PeriodicalId":438307,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing (ICAM)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114188800","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}

To achieve required positioning accuracy of the part relative to the machine tool, the fixture usually provide locating pins which are in contact with some datum surfaces on the part. Traditionally, high precision is required for the manufacturing and assembly of the fixture for the part positioning accuracy. With the development of CNC techniques, the positioning error of the part can be compensated by the machine tool to lower the accuracy requirement for the fixture. However, six or more axes are required for the machine tool to compensate for all the position and orientation errors. This paper focuses on the usage of adjustable sliding pins as an alternative method for positioning error compensation for the machine tools that are lack of sufficient mobility or fixture compensation function. In particular, this paper proposes a generic mathematical model to calculate the amount of locating pin adjustment for compensating given positioning error of part. For this purpose, the kinematic equations of the part in contact with adjustable locating pins are derived, in which the pin positions are taken into account. Then the influence of the deviations in the pin positions on the part position and orientation is formulated. The model can be used to adjust the pins for positioning error compensation for all or some degrees of freedom of the part. A simulation study on a polyhedron part with three fixed and three adjustable pins for a drilling operation has been carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":438307,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing (ICAM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131374284","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}

The results show the performance from high to low as RF, SVM, FNN, and SOM. However, the overall differences of modelled CO2 among the four models are insignificant. Considering the discrete characteristics of RF, it is recommended to use SVM or FNN when the number of data point is not large and continuous estimations are expected.
