    In October 2001, an innovative board machine named N-2 started up in our Oji Paper Fuji mill. The design of control system was discussed repeatedly so as to handle this machine very comprehensively.
    During its 25 years history, DCS has grown up and well matured. Nowadays, it seems that there left only nominal differences between one vender and another. On the other hand, many intelligent sensor systems and information systems have also been developed around DCS. From the viewpoint of plant operation, all the systems should be combined and unified to serve operators like a single “seamless system”. We think that DCS is a nucleus in such system.
    This paper introduces our basic idea of the control system of N-2. Whole the scope of instrumentation system as well as some application of IT is also discussed.

    The measure that detects the streak fault in our company becomes about ten years. As a trend of those days to the next of the Spot-fault inspection system. we developed technology and products, and we developed the Streak-fault inspection system that combined analog-processing technology and special detection algorithm. In the performance of detecting the streak fault, the improvement was continuously achieved up to now. The feature of the streak fault is long, slender, linear, and that the defective signal is a minute level. So. it is beginning of the measure that we adopted the camera and detection algorithm, which is different from these of detecting the spot fault.
    At present, using image-processing technology, we develop the detection algorithm that suited the amount of the features of the streak fault, and have released the products whose detection performance improved. Furthermore, the detection algorithm has evolved by the needs of detecting the scratch fault, the line fault, and the wrinkles fault.
    Thus, it is sure that sensor technology has contributed to the base somewhat to the demand or needs of the paper manufacture industry till present.

    The combination of several defect detection channels which sensitivity are optimized for different width and length of defects is verified. The proposed width-length defect model enables us to fully understand the characteristics of the capability of defect detection channels. The image analysis results show that the detection channels can enhance a streak defect.
    Another important feature of defect detection is connectivity analysis, unification and defect classification.
    The newly developed web inspection system, M9000 utilizing these methods provides various aspects of streak defect information to assist understanding of the manufacturing process.

    As has been the case, many requirements are made to the inspection system. Even more diversified requirements are seen because of its possible versatile applications. There are some industries in which, a short while back, it was thought to be hard to apply automatic inspection, but now because of more increased competition, some kind of automatic inspection would be a most effective means to be apart from the other competitors. The competition is not only among domestic but world-wide and is by all means intensifying.
    As to the overall performance, there are two critical points in focus. The first is how to most effectively utilize the flaw data for the improvement of product quality and production yield. The inspection system was once regarded as a simple sensor, but the times have changed now and is required to provide an opportunity to becoming more competitive position in the market. The collected data is thought to be even more valuable if it were shared among operators via network. It would be further processed. like SQC analysis, to bring in more benefit.
    The second is, needless to say, the sensitivity itself. Market is going to require defects detected which were used to be not required before. The more sensitive means, more data is gathered.
    It is crucial to make the system more efficient in handling vast flaw data along with improved sensitivity. On top, how to most effectively share that flaw data internally in order to achieve the better result.
    Here I describe briefly about how we can achieve the afore-mentioned balanced performance.

    We would like to introduce you new pressure loss calculation software for piping system, which is the renewed and updated version from one of last year and easier to use. We would like to explain to you mainly additional features from the previous one here, not the same features. The previous software calculated fluid pressure loss based upon virtual installation of valves and elbows on a fixed piping system.
    There had been some differences from the actual piping system with this way, which sometimes created difficulties in handling. The new software was programmed to solve this problem. You can design plane and lateral drawings automatically by selecting piping materials from the menu and calculate pressure loss by setting fluid conditions at the piping system.
    Thus, there is no restriction for number of piping system patterns. Users can specify as many piping system patterns as possible.
    Also you can check pressure losses at the specific locations by clicking mouse at any points of the piping system. You can print out the whole piping system to verify it clearly. We hope that this new software will be of great help to you.

    Magnetic pulps loaded with magnetite (Fe3O4) in the pulp lumen were prepared by in situ synthesis. The synthetic conditions for forming magnetite includes the following three steps: a) dispersion of pulp in a ferrous salt solution, b) addition of an alkali to the ferrous salt, and c) air-bubbling. The main factors influencing the magnetite formation were the added amount of the alkali to the ferrous salt solution containing pulp, i. e. the pH value, and the successive reaction temperature to form magnetite. Magnetite was formed in the temperature range from 50 to 90, when the added amount of the alkali was nearly equivalent to that of the ferrous salt present in the pulp suspension. The alkaline addition level for magnetite formation was expanded in the range from 0.6 to 4.0 equivalent to that of the ferrous salt at the reaction temperature of more than 90°C. The magnetite formed in the pulp lumen was observed by means of a scanning electron microscope. X-ray diffraction analysis of the magnetite formed in the pulp lumen showed that it had a spinel-type crystal structure with cubic system, because its lattice planes [311].[440] and [220] were detected at diffraction angles 2 θ of 35.4, 62.6 and 30.1°, respectively. The particle size of the magnetite was 0.3μm on average, and distributed in the range from 0.2 to 0.4μm. The magnetite contents in the pulp were 23-33%(based on dry weight of the loaded pulps). The magnetite-loaded pulp with 30.4% magnetite content had saturation magnetization and remanent magnetization values of 16.3 and 3.6 emu/g of magnetite-loaded pulp, respectively, and had a coercive force of 240 Oe.
