it's been a while (since I last saw, mailed, etc., you)

Hello, my name is RPV. It has been a while.

I have been unable to go anywhere due to the coronavirus. I had planned to go touring by motorcycle during the Golden Week holidays since the recovery from the Kumamoto earthquake is finally over, but under the circumstances, I have to give up the plan.

So, I would like to post some of the places I have visited during the year I have neglected to update my blog. I know it's a bit of an excuse, but I did take pictures to update the blog (^^;);

I visited Aoshima (Kizaki beach) in Miyazaki last April. The weather was clear but a little hazy, which is typical of early spring. The waves are small.

Note: The surf area in Miyazaki Prefecture is currently under self-imposed restrictions.

 

We arrived around 10:00 a.m., so most of the people who had entered the water first thing in the morning were already out of the water.

 

I also completed one round of golf and had "Zarusoba" at a convenience store for lunch. It's great to eat outdoors at this time of year!

 

Around noon, the waves disappeared, and instead, the southeast wind started to blow, albeit slightly, so we switched to windsurfing.

 

In the evening, the wind dropped and the sea became calm.

I was tired there because it had been a long time and because of my age.

 

I would like to visit there again.

 

Hoping for a speedy resolution of the situation. m

See you soon!

Reverse engineering video added.

Hello, I am the webmaster.

New Reverse Engineering Introduction video on the Reverse Engineering page.

Added. This time, with the help of our website designer, we have added an easy-to-understand

What do you think?

We hope you will take a look.

Off topic, but as of today (August 30, 2019), if you search for "X-ray CT reverse engineering"

Our website will be displayed first! Since the end of the Obon vacation, we have been having a lot of rainy weather, which tends to make us feel down,

As the person in charge, I am glad to hear this, even though it is a small thing!

 

Team Lab on a hot day

Hello, I am the webmaster.

It's been hot and humid since the rainy season started! As an indoor person, I like air-conditioned places (lol).

I like augmented reality (AR) and other things, so I sometimes take my kids to Team Lab.

In Kyushu, it is located at Canal City Hakata in Fukuoka.

 

The room is dark because of the projector showing various objects, and the air conditioning is working well.

I like to go there in summer. I also like the spring water tunnel in Takamori, which also glows in various ways in the dark.

 

This is a drawing aquarium.

Fish drawn with crayons swim in a virtual sea.

 

Orchestra with light balls. When you roll the glowing ball, it makes fantastic sounds.

 

Touch the hieroglyphs to change them into the animals from which they are derived.

 

Touch the AR dwarfs? You can play with them.

 

Although it is a children's game, I, as an adult, also enjoyed it, forgetting the world for a moment.

 

 

VTR250 radialization +α

This time, the VTR250 used as a foot bike was radialized? The following is a list of the products that we have made.
The calipers and masters that I was saving to use for something.
Finally, it will see the light of day.
It took about six months from conception to porting the brake calipers.

Place and dimension the caliper to be used.

 

Tentative use is made with a piece of wood to check position and clearance.
(This is the hardest part. Additional processing and development later...)

 

Drawing is made and a fabrication shop is requested.
The processors are quintessential professionals. They change the material depending on the part to be used.

 

Tentatively assembled the finished product. The measurements were not correct, so additional work was required.

 

One installed. New brake rotors, etc.

 

Radial brake master is also ported.
New mirror holders were installed due to lack of mirror holders.

 

I'm using radial calipers, but with supports.
It's just a fake radialization (^o^;)

 

Then the tires were converted to radial.
Dunlop SPORTMAX GPR-300.
I was torn between this and α-14, but due to the nature of the vehicle, I think I'll go with this one.

And +α, I'd like to change the front fork oil for engine oil.
I put in 10W-40.
I was thinking of replacing the spring because it felt like it was bottoming out, but for now.
We experimented to see what would happen with high viscosity oil.

impression

Brake master & caliper:
The braking power was increased as expected, but the lever touch was improved.
It was a happy miscalculation.

SPORTMAX GPR-300:
Not to mention better grip since they are new tires.
It has become easier to make adjustments to the tipping point.
The previous models were worn unevenly and seemed to fall down suddenly, but now they are much better.

Front fork oil:
I was thinking of replacing the springs, but this might work too!

It's been over midsummer every day, but take care of yourself.

What is an artifact?

Hello, I am the webmaster. I would like to write on the unusual topic of X-ray CT (smile).

X-ray CT imaging data may show noise called "metal artifacts.

The larger the specific gravity, the more complex the shape, and the larger the size, the more pronounced the noise.

However, with our technology, we were able to eliminate the metal artifact. The object photographed is an aluminum part measuring approximately 40 cm.

If it is roughly the same, metal artifacts are a prominent feature. (In the case of microfocus CT)

Conventionally, it would look like this.

However,

See, it's a beautiful picture (laughs).

To tell the truth, the 3D data created by the 3D digitizer was superimposed on the CT data.

If you want to know more details, please contact us.

 

New Year's Greetings

Happy New Year!

I wish you all a glorious New Year.
We would also like to thank you for your great efforts during the past year.

 

We will continue to strive for further improvement of our services and look forward to your continued support and patronage in the New Year.
I would like to wish you all a happy and healthy New Year.
