    MSTC (Manufacturing Science and Technology Center) is engaged in the following project that aims to develop the two types of robots for non-manufacturing :
    (1) A robot system for supporting at the nuclear disaster
    This robot system was developed on the occasion of the JCO accident to execute countermeasures against calamities in place of people by means of remote control. This system consists of two “monitoring/surveying robots” that observe the situation of a disaster and work, three “light/medium/heavy work robots” that execute counter-measures at a disaster, one “heavy weight carrier robot”, and the each remote control device. It is designed to make each robot collaborate on work under the critical situation such as the narrow space in nuclear facilities in addition to the high level radiation at the stricken area.
    It is desirable that nuclear disasters will never occur, however, people would be relieved if such kind of robots hurry to the scene of the accident.
    (2) Development of a human-friendly humanoid robot
    This project is to research how the biped robot system work in the actual scene. For two years since 1998, the base research called “platform” (the main body of a robot and its remote control device) had been developed. A three-year research plan to apply its work started in the 2000 fiscal year.
    The main body of the robot was based on and revised a humanoid robot made by Honda (P 3). Its remote control device was developed to operate with high presence as if a person were inside of a robot. Five kinds of application of this robot are chosen to be developed for carrying out dangerous work or what robots can do instead of men : “Plant Facility Maintenance”, “Care Service”, “Operating Industrial Vehicles”, “Management of Buildings and Homes” and “Cooperative Outside Work”.
    All of people concerned are tackling the development to realize a dream-like humanoid robot that can cooperate and coexist with human beings.

    Quality control of the deinked pulp, DIP plant has recently become more important than before as recycled pulp use grows higher. Although ash content and residual ink are also important factors in addition to brightness among some quality indexes of DIP, it is hard to measure those exactly and we have had no good measuring instruments until now. In this paper we describe successful results of newly installed retention meter RMi and brightness meter CORMEC, KAJAANI in the various DIP process lines.

    FOUNDATION Fieldbus was announced as “one of the greatest technological innovation to the next generation”. In Japan, FOUNDATION Fieldbus Association was established in 1994, and standard application products have been released since 1996.
    Numbers of industrial plants using the Fieldbus system started their operation in 1999, and also in Fushiki Mill, since “N-DIP modernize construction” had been authorized in October 2000, we started to investigate the system. The investigation was on these three points : 1. Flexibility to extended industrial plants (= high leveled adaptation), 2. Product repletion (= PID control function built in Fieldbus products) 3. Integereation with DCS system (= possibility through engineering from DCS system). Then, technical training, designing, engineering, field test, and all kinds of simulation had been enforced, and finally we have succeeded to operate the system in April 15 th 2001. Now, I would like to report the present condition and issues of “New Fieldbus System”.

    A control valve is important device in operation. However, we could judge whether a valve was normal only by the result of the process value. The automatic diagnostics system of the control valve by Intelligent Positioner was introduced in Matsumoto mill.
    As for preventing the sudden trouble of the valve, of course we are expecting the reduction of the total cost in such cases as the reduction of the maintenance cost.

    Currently, there are two methods of brightness determination in JIS. One is JIS P 8123 (Testing method for brightness by Hunter of paper and pulp) and one is JIS P 8148 (Paper, board and pulps measurement of diffuse blue reflectance factor (ISO brightness)). JIS P 8123 was commonly used in Japan but was not popular in the world. In order to globalize the standard, JIS P 8148 : 1993 was prepared based on ISO 2470 : 1977 and revised at 2001 to adapt ISO 2470 : 1999. It is important to popularize this method in the Japanese pulp and paper industry.
    There is no method of color determination in P sector of JIS. At present, ISO 5631 (Paper and board-Determination of colour (C/ 2°)-Diffuse reflectance method) is under translation to JIS by JAPAN TAPPI. In this paper, the outline of JIS P 8148 : 2001 the determination of ISO brightness and ISO 5631 the determination of color are described.

    Water absorbents were prepared from bleached hardwood kraft pulp by carboxymethylation (CM-LBKP) and cross-linking with polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether having different chain length by two stages method. Water retention value reached up to as high as 670 g/g for deionized water, and 64 g/g for 0.9% saline solution (physiological saline). Higher D.S. of carboxymethyl group of LBKP was advantageous for a higher water retention value, when D.S. ?1.42. Water retention value of cross-linked CM-LBKP decreased with the increase of the amount of bound cross-linking agent.
