Gravity

Driving BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model early this morning realized I the factor that affects on steering response in curving scenery, it is the center of gravity. Fuel tank condition 1/3 to full made completely different transient on steering response. I've reconfirmed the Natural Science Law affects on the same as a fixed wing airplane. So we must pay attention to the provision of experiment and measurement conditions prior to the enforcement. The phenomena differs depending on the mounting position of fuel tanks, at frontal bulk head for VW air-cooled rear motor Beetle and frontal motor with rear fuel tank designs. Probably the position of gravity in combination with fuel tank must affect on axle designing and compliance setting in dynamic balance.
To know this kind of phenomena scientifically, various devices are required, accelerometer, vibration meter and Gyro, etc. they are exactly the same equipments that manufacturer's have in Research and Development department?

How to align wheels?

There are many articles with various opinions for wheel alignment procedures in Web site and most of all starts from rear wheel inclination adjustment, but I make it a rule to begin with frontal axle alignment with good reasons.

By twisting front main bar, set up the setback angular value as to Zero degree.

Next step, set up front camber inclination as to the same value on both side at standard degree under the condition of driver's weight on a driver's seat. Frontal hub outer points on both sides would be the reliable key position to align further measurement and adjustment, so the camber value, vertical wheel inclinations should be exactly the same.

Adjust the total toe value at the decided standard keeping the same length from the lack end position to knuckle ball one on both side, steering centricity should be ignored on this stage. In order to establish the same full turning angle, this procedure is very important, because the steering stoppers are equipped in the rack and rack case construction.

Prior to the rear axle adjustment, checking wheel bases, lateral offset and swung rear end is inevitable. They are the very important matters if precise scaling and adjustment are desired.

Rear camber should be adjusted under the same condition as frontal adjustment procedure, total toe at decided value and thrust angle to zero degree should be obtained under careful measurements and adjustments promptly.

As a final adjustment step, record the steering position at the position of 12 o'clock of steering column to reproduce the frontal toe direction, it's so to speak frontal thrust angle against rear hub positions on both side.

Then the rear thrust angle would be carefully and repeatedly adjusted till obtained pure rectangular 4 wheel positions keeping precise cares for total toe value. The steering centricity would be adjusted as the final step compromising minimum error on the rack end positions difference on both sides.

We must remember unignorable effects by several physical properties of butyl rubber, deforming, movable, permanent distortion, internally contained force and troublesome hysteresis. Also the backlashes in the supporting bearings and it's sealed lubricant grease.

The passenger's automobiles are so manufactured as to go more safer direction by self-aligning mechanism by frontal caster, SAI and scrub setting inviting self-steer effect. According to one of my experiment, self-steer effects plays the opposite steering performance after the clicking point speed range around 60km/h, so the thrust angle adjustment must be done below the clicking speed.
In another words, the reversing phenomena on steering reaction habit at around 60km/h makes it difficult to define the direction of the habitual tendency for an ordinal person, sometimes for professional engineers, probably very few of them know this fact.

The tire spot deformation proceeds while the upper procedures are undergoing calling measured value errors, so the tires should be fully expired as to 3,0kg/cm2. Repeatable datum could not obtained for a long time until this treatment have done on every opportunity. The accuracy of the datum had been far increased after that.
As mentioned above, an automobile goes forward if precise adjustments were not done(most of the cases), then what will happen after the critical adjustment, does any difference would exist? My answer is affirmative!

Many a trifle was obtained on the way of experimental researches on wheel alignment measuring and adjusting as for my own treasures, now stacked trifles for a period of time are not a trifle thing for me any more, nothing but great, so I believe in.

Water valve


There exist the collapse of the bubble in emerging economies of Asian countries with big population behind the instability of European finance, so informed by NHK news broad casting this morning.
I'm afraid of the World Crisis again that was the trigger of WW2.

I spent my off time for maintaining equipment in my new laboratory all day long, just tired and exhausted. I found out the difficulty to keep the ultimate performances in the mechanical movement especially in the function of diaphragm valve to control water pressure at adequate rate, as a common sense, some crystal water contaminants clogged in the way of small hole as pressure controlling balancing orifice. This phenomena closing the small water way causes a malfunctions, 24 years using period of time is enough to do that.
This kind of constructive design of diaphragm valve is not difficult for me to adjust upper and lower spring strength for pressure balancing, because I have been trained to do this in another field, fuel pressure controlling in 2 cycle small motor.
Also, solenoid valve has the same tendency to be influenced by the inconvenient solid material. But remember that some re-adjusting pressure control diaphragm valve spring strength should be required again, because an acquired healthy opened water way would increase the line pressure naturally.
The time has come to maintain all of equipment I'm keeping in my laboratory step by step and one by one, so my off time would be spent for the purpose for the time being.

Woman & Kid

I have determined that I would never propose my opinion about the alternation of generations between I and my son, though there exist critical difference of standing point of view. My way of perception in general practice is from academic based one as a researcher in Prosthodontic field, on the other hand his is from a general practitioner in our region. Probably, min is out of focus and his is to the point.
I realized again that I cannot make themselves understood however logically the truth and the fact might be introduced by me with desperate efforts.
So, I close my mouth like a oyster for the time being.
Things worthy would be thrown away soon, that had been obtained by my crystals of blood and sweat for 24 years of period of time, just as far as some lonely heart.

Maintenance over


Trifle springs balance adjustment and replacing P4 O shape butyl rubber parts thoroughly solved the problem on a cutting turbine equipment!
And valve pushing adjuster in three way syringe could eliminate water piling with success.
Then only coking procedure to shut out odd smell from the floor beneath would be done from now.

Stupid?

Malfunctions of the equipment for our job in the working chairs, #1 & #2, forces me to come to our new laboratory today, is spite of off time. The defects are three way hand syringe water piling and also that of turbine cutting equipment. Basically, the cause of inconveniences is brought by some small butyl rubber O shape rings utilized for pressure sealing as leak-proof pressure inserted in controlling valve body block. Though, they have been disassembled several times for maintenance already, the defects this time like leaking pressures of both air and water is difficult to define the cause of fault. The rubber O shape ring has some tendency to deforming if it was set on the portion to be pushed continuously inviting permanent distortion leading to pressure leakage.
Anyway, participate I will in the repairing work today.

As an another story, incredibly irrational opinion of  possibility for replacements of our 24 years old equipment occurs on earth meaning the wasting of plenty of money, how come?
I wanna say to blindly following pander persons, "There is no medicine to give fool!".
I have no intention to accept worthless proposal to waste money, he may do that if a borrowing money for the affair might be done by his own risk and response, not min.

Principle

Long talk last night with my son revealed there are some dissatisfaction for him in our new laboratory and inconsequential trifles have become a barrier to his migration to us.
From his standing point of view, our conventional devices and equipments are no good because of the date of production, 24 years ago if they are playing a definite roles admirably at all, all of them had been well maintained replacing periodical parts to keep their ultimate performances.
He must remember that any equipment investment should increase capita more than before.
Our basic concept is to contribute to the regional medical field with holding our economy.
We do not recommend any any received opinion of the manufacturer's claims at all.
Money is easy to waste, but is difficult to earn!  

2012年6月26日火曜日

Study

We are going to have some deeper and long talk with my son this evening about his future life. We estimate his daily life environment is not always favorable going to different direction with his friends who are not acceptable for us, we do not recommend him to go as he is now.
Especially his intention to go faster and quicker on the public road scattering nuisances to others is not allowed however well modified his automobile might be. The basic construction of his emotional condition is too childish and selfish considering his age 27 years old.
I always say to him, "OK you may do that, but on the closed circuit only with specially modified without legal license plate at all. Of course the racing car must be carried on the truck for the purpose."

Anyway, a half converted strange car with license plate is nothing but dangerous. A circuit running automobile for competition should be specialized in that purpose only. He will know what I say if would try running on the circuit in completely different speed range, also he would realize how dangerous to run higher speed on the ordinal traffic among passenger's cars.
Probably, SUBARU BRZ would be the last present from Dad celebrating his graduation from the University and acquiring professional license. Must I propose some responsible condition prior to the gifting.
No modification is allowed and continue keeping long as it is in original condition, because the model is fully balanced in any meaning, remember as you know, any modification by replacing any parts would invite the destruction of ultimate balance fixed by the factory professional specialist, no professional layman cannot do that, just destroy a marvelous original condition.
No over-speed running about on the public traffic allowed if it might be some middle of the night.
He must know and understand well his own social position and responsibility as a professional.

Canada Leitz lens

Interchangeable lens mount adapter by DIY utilizing ASAHI Pentax helicoid ring made it possible to mount Canada Leitz Telyt 280/4,8 tele-photo marvelous lens on Canon Digital SLR body. Thanks to 2 helicoid construction as matter of fact, 4m focusing is available.
To tell the truth, this lens has been thrown away for long time period, because I have been making it a rule to carry Apo-Telyt 280/4 instead in spite of heavier weight.

I found it out packed in molded laser case, but lens inside has not been influenced by any mold attacking. I determined to try this one for the time being in digital circumstance.
This focal length requires tripod mounting device carrying with me, because no vibration canceller is equipped in the lens devices, of course, nor body construction including release cable. 

Parasite Single?

We wanna pull my son out from a lukewarm water like circumstance, so to speak " Parasite single"! The best way to do so is make him have some independent family inviting new bride, but his emotional condition is far different from that probably because of the reaction by the life circumstance taking after by a perfectly strict nourishing mother. Now he has lived so freely as he wanted for more than 8 years alone. Probably it would be impossible to live with his parent here in Kinki area again. He would prefer to lead a life without any restraints, or to make up a new family separately with us.
Firs of all, he must be an independent financially with no assistance by his parent's. 

Regret & impatience

It would be surely a matter for regret that I throw away two automobiles, XH200 OPEL B-Vectra and BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model. Driving two of them yesterday and today makes me think of regret seriously, because they are kept fully operational conditions instead there is no fatal part on them. Both of them have thoroughly new suspension constructive parts and motors are well maintained including replacement of timing belts, water pumps, serpentine belts and oil seal parts.
I wonder where they would be in 6 months?

2012年6月24日日曜日

Compliance setting

Driving 2 automobiles yesterday made me confused so much, XH200 OPEL B-Vectra and BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model, because both of them had acceptable distinctive character promptly. Do I desert both of them? The deeper consideration, the more becomes the confusion, how come? I have to determine what to desert and to continue keeping sooner or later. There is no possibility for new one to come, if I desert two of my automobiles.

As we know, there designed many shock absorbing mechanical constructions in automobile axle to establish the compliance of good ride in an automobile for the driver including passengers in the cabin. The designing of the application of butyl rubber bushes and supporting surfaces sheets play a major role on the taste of ride. But, here we must know about the difference between buffer effect and shock absorbing phenomena, the movable physical construction in axle design would be controlled by the dumper set there or not, because a very convenient material but with elusive physical property often causes problems, if set out of the dumper control. The compliance balance must be designed in combination with the dumper performance, the spring constant, the body weight balance and compliance under the kinetic and dynamic movement while actual use.
It's not difficult to imagine how definitely keen sense is required for the automobile designing?

I have ever replaced the axle construction of BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model from original one to GC8 SUBARU Impreza WRX model's one including motor mounting, trans-axle mounting and differential gear box's one. There I found various difference between some soft and gentle US model and harder and stiff European's one. Several experimental trials according to Physical law were performed on the way to obtain the better ride resulting good for my acceptance.

2012年6月23日土曜日

Changing

I'm obliged to reduce my keeping 4 automobiles into 2, because I must show myself to my son as a norms to be done. It's true that the number of 4 by only a person is too much from a general standing point of view, before that a driver can do that only one at the same time, it just nothing but wasting.
XH200 OPEL B-Vectra (150,000km) and BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi(150,000) would be deserted in very near future, on the other hand 11AD VW 1302 Super Beetle and NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz would be remained.
According to the affair, I shall organize not a few replacement parts for them.
I feel something is changing around me.

2012年6月22日金曜日

Successor

We must have some opportunity to talk deeply with my son discussing about our future lives. He was borne relatively later than ones of standard, so we have shorter period of time to assist him behind about for 15 years. He will be alone younger than others with same age, naturally he have to study more while he is still young.
I am prepared for the prior talk about that with my friend who has been assisting us privately.

My son has lived alone for 8 years independently far from us because of educational reason, probably he must have any inconvenient relations with any friends to guide him undesirable direction emotionally.
This is the reason why we wanna take him back here to Osaka from country region. He has changed now, different from before, he's like a different person, so she said, as I feel too.
We must think over deeply about this problem seriously now, some correction of his emotion is necessary, if wants or not.
Looking back on myself at his age, almost the same and my parent assisted me emotionally and financially enough, so I didn't feel any hunger all through my life, even now.
We did too much on him to the rate of spoiling himself?

I have made up mind to change my stance, I would like to continue our laboratory by myself for the time being, no matter how he might replace with me here or not, he might come together with us or he would have another working place at different portion.

I have come to the clicking point to select the timing of selection in those two years, to throw away my villa in the mountain, then 4 automobiles I'm keeping should be reduced in number. All of them are fully maintained to perform ultimate performance as originally designed, the fact indeed make it difficult to decide what to be deserted? All of them have better advantages to be proud of promptly, I could feel the designer's individual concepts not to be ignored, desperate efforts must have been made before production. How shall I do on earth?

Going favorably

Typhoon #5 has changed it's power into ordinal Tropical storm level this morning and the heavier rain fall would be imagined, because it would stimulate our Baiu(Japanese normal rainy season) front from now. We must prepare for an unusual rain fall cats & dogs.

I'm going to organize the warehouse in my villa situated in the mountain of Nakayama Hyogo Pref. All the 5 rooms have been occupied by mainly by automobile replacement parts cluttered. The parts that would not be used might be there, so they must be sold utilizing any way, how about YaHoo Auction?

It was the second day for my son to work with us helping me a bit, some incredible care must be required to make a freshly emerged chick till leaving nest. Again he is nagging to obtain new car? I see his desire to change one after another each time? It's clear that he is in a muddy crucible of desire as an young man. Let's try to watch him for a while.
But for my son's existence on earth, I do not have this kind of interesting and joyful worries, so I should appreciate the person on this situation. At the same time I have some envy his youth remembering my own good past period of time. Also, realize I now that how did my father take me form a warmest standing point of view and how deeply he loved me whenever I see my son's expressions.

As for my own business, it's going better than before in every meaning. Converting into Electronics in our laboratory should be performed in very near future inviting plenty of money, how come? Now only 30 percent of our industry has done it, my turn is not yet?
I would have enough capability to get accustomed to the new system immediately if I should study how to control them.
The consultation records for the clients are restored as electric ones in the institute of my graduated University, so the records written on the paper do not exist.
I have made up my mind to do that on two HD at the same time, because I'm afraid of the destruction of a recording medium as I've been experienced several times for these 20 years on PCs. Which is the better by the way, HD or SSD if I choose as a medium for that?

New findings

Threatening storm has passed through safe with approaching to our region and now #4 Typhoon arrived at district of Sendai on the Pacific Ocean, but no relieve is allowed, because next one from South Western direction is coming without between. #5 Typhoon! This weekend would not have good climate condition.

My son's true intention became clear, he cannot wait till the end of this year to obtain a new automobile, SUBARU BRZ, so he is going to do on used Silvia with rear drive train. He wanna modify it  as he likes, replacing into noisy thunder like muffler, a racing bucket seat and wide tires with big diameter wheels leading funny drifting drive scattering junks to others.
Before proceeding to his own dark world, he must realize his age and his social situation, don't forget he is in the circumstance of social welfare on earth. I must make him realize the fact, that's  my obligation!

Thank to AD-aware security program obtained from Web site, 7 threatening definitions were quarantined safe, as the result, heavy actions have thoroughly improved, I'm in happier emotional condition.
As I'm utilizing Google translate for spelling checking, even that program has been influence by ill spy software. Now the reactions in my PC is very quick like sparkling.
Heartless people seems to be there everywhere in the world, you are bored and wasting time?

Careful checking on wheel hub positions of VW 1302 Super Beetle proved that the right rear hub position exists narrower compared with left one and the painting color and it's material are different from original one. So imagine I some critical past of disaster being hit on right rear fender by some relatively severe accident phenomena? So, I conclude that ill habit unstable steering reaction is not caused only by wheel alignment but also by or mainly by the considerably distorted right rear flame.
Consequently, do I carefully check and measure it's constructive geometry from the beginning utilizing self-invented devices this week end, probably I can do that and establish good alignment by desperate efforts as usual. Putting 4 wheels on the corner of exact rectangle with aligned 3 dimensional wheel inclinations, it will be established!

2012年6月19日火曜日

Disturbance

Storms are approaching to main land Japan, #4 and #5 one after another! The possibility to pass through exactly on our country has increased gradually for both of the Typhoons, how come?
As for my regret, I didn't check the closure of windows in my villa, I must do that before this evening, because she is coming across to our district at that time.

The function of cooling fan equipped in BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model became a normal one, the activated period of time is normal after replacing a thermostat part.

Steering stability has far increased in VW 1302 Super Beetle after additional application of 1mm thickness rubber sheet on rear trailing arm outer bush portion.
The cause of restless steering action has not been brought not by worm gear steering gear box nor small lower arm bushes but by the chronic play on worn hinge bushes.
Now steering centric position is clear the be recorded for further precise wheel alignment adjustment.
The marking on the steering column while straight running would be a good reliable information to know the thrust angle against rear wheel positions. Finally, thrust angle from the frontal axle should be so adjusted as to attain zero degree by adjusting the direction of rear total toe, thrust. In another words, four wheels while straight running on flat ground surface with good matching of frontal and rear thrust relations.

2012年6月18日月曜日

Steering character

As I mentioned yesterday, lateral displacement on rear axle does affect on the steering response and on the taste of ride so much, so we cannot discus on steering characteristic response including straight and curvature running focusing only on the steering constructive designing and construction, axle compliance setting also. The stability, the edge of rising, the transient and the convergence are the element of the character I wanna put an emphasis on.
The resistance power against the lateral force on rear axle plays a great part of the character of steering response as I wrote several times here, but the fixation of the construction would invite the reduction of compliance effect at the same time. The difficulty of designing exists here, probably many a factory designer must exert themselves in this setting by desperate effort for the new model?

On the rear beam axle designing like NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz, very new and sophisticated concept is introduced in order to relieve the shock and vibration from the ground by deform a trailing arm bush itself utilizing physical phenomena of class 2 lever action at beginning phase, supporting axle coil spring acts as a supporting point while the hinge bush is deforming at 6 o'clock position and finishing the distortion the bush acts as a supporting point transits to class 1 lever action.
Consequently, the bush inserted in beam axle construction is designed to be movable intentionally, this is why the steering character of automobiles with beam axle designing have a tendency to be dull, muddy and sleepy keeping a distance from good astringent steering character.

The charcters of steering reaction were very similar with each other, the reason was not the designing of concepts as a world car strategy but the movable rear axle condition at all.
Though it might be very difficult to make Vitz better in steering character, I will try to do that in very near future. Remember that the special rubber parts from TRD are already set in rear bush portion, still not enough effective.

2 German Autos




When I started to remove the ignition plugs from GM X20 motor equipped in XH200 B-Vectra, I found out some problems, the 1st is the plug cap of #4 cylinder is dipped in Eg oil and the 2nd is the terminal side of #1 cylinder is also covered with the oil till being drenched to the deep inside. For the first one, the cause must be a oil leak from the formed space(ware) between a valve stem and valve guide including valve guide oil seal parts, and latter one is done by ill sealing effect of head cover sealing rubber material on O ring set at the plug portion. What shall I do, pretend to be unknown or do that with brave, it's the problem? Remember that the 2 years Legal Inspection was passed by this Vectra few days ago, so I must keep this at least 2 years from now to digest the residual period of time!

Total accumulated driving distance showed 44,444km in total from the production 40 years ago, next arranging would be the time after 11,111km more probably next year. As I mentioned on VW 1302 Super Beetle, I have applied a piece of thin rubber sheet in the space between rear trailing outer bush and it's covering cap on both side. This would compensate the backlash caused by butyl rubber bush permanent distortion and waring. Even the application at the outer surface of the original bush, the existing inner space would be closed according to the covering parts tightening.
The result of the procedure was as the same as I imagined prior to the work. Steering astringency has far improved.
Stability of steering while straight run has done as also the same.
Initial stage of steering rising action became sharper.
Less steering angle is required on a usual curvature than before.
Right side habit tendency(very slight as to be ignored) became apparent compared with before.
The existed compliance has decreased leading to a slightly harder riding taste on the rear axle.
Replaced head cover sealing and application of liquid sealing material at the same time stopped nervous oil leak.

Old but modern?

The relationship of business supply-demand has balanced these days, everything around me has settled, so I feel. My son might be in some struggle condition emotional, as the chicks make efforts on emergence.

Today, I would like to inspect the rear arm hinge bush on VW 1302 Super Beetle to fix the alignment prior to the total adjustment.
Movable construction with a critical characteristic of hysteresis would invite unavoidable variability of the measured value however accurately the performances might be done, so any element of variability should be eliminated as much as possible before the very measurement. Remember here that any butyl rubber materials have inconvenient physical property more or less, that has been worn in arm hinge portion of automobiles to improve the ride quality. Too much buffer action by them often cause strange steering reaction with indecision, the balance of compliance is the key to produce better ride.
Peeping into this kind of professional field with some reversible method as I'm doing is very interesting trial, because I can imagine the intentions of the designing concept 40 years ago, actually varies little in basic character. In other words, not so big change and improvement were not performed from the beginning, except some emission control system and automatic trans-axle designing. I didn't know the fact of the truth until I come across with this 40 years VW Beetle.

2012年6月16日土曜日

Fine alignment

The wheel alignment adjustment and the correction of constructive geometry must be performed in VW 1302 Super Beetle, because it goes relatively well with rough setting of them, this task has been left undone for long time. Wondering while starting and stopping phases occurs as it does, most of bad habit are consumed and cancelled by movable axle rubber bushes in frontal and rear arms hinge portions. This kind of setting might be exist if the driver does not desire much about steering astringency. Self steer action compensates errors in the alignments, provided by caster, scrub and SAI setting are the contributors.
Much more stability would be obtained if the alignment is set by precise procedures, to the rate of straight running with no assistance of automatic correction mechanism.
Then fantastic and completely different world of driving would be there, so I believe!
Before that, rear trailing arm outer bush on both side should be tightened by inserting some sheet rubber plate. I have a confidence to improve the steering astringency and it's rising response.
My free time this afternoon would be spared for upper experimental trials, tomorrow all day long too.

Emergency!

Visiting association of our field revealed that the submission of document to the Department of Human Service is necessary if my son would work in our new laboratory, a submission of it only to the jurisdiction health center is not enough, so the limited date is today, how come? I must measure for this urgent affair today!

An indispensable automobile parts plays a great role in combustion, it is thermostat, but the constructive designing is not changed basically for half a century. It's primitive design shows the movement is relied on the physical phenomena of the thermal expansion of wax material inside, so is made of  ancient and primitive designing with primitive material? I wonder why should it be controlled by much more sophisticated way with recent devices, because the temperature of cooling liquid would affect on the combustion of the motor?
Anyway, all the inconveniences that has been causing strange reaction on cooling fan activity after replacing clogging thermostat parts yesterday. Driving test this morning proved an adequate operation, activated according to temperature rising and stops once it has been cooled.
Now, my 20 years old BC7 Legacy acquired the original performance safe.

2012年6月14日木曜日

Affairs today

Simply, replacement of the thermostat genuine parts recovered the original function in BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model this evening. Strange function of cooling fans, once started continues running endlessly disappeared. EJ22 motor is in good condition with comfortable combustion. As a matter of fact, what the special SUBARU engineer said was exactly to the point. Careful checking of coolant temperature sensor revealed that the number of terminals were 2 instead of 3 for later models, the circuitry designing must have been changed according to the grade up of computer from 8 bit to 16 bit. Though  the obtained genuine parts in vain would not be returned but be stored for future opportunity of replacement parts for BLE model I'm keeping. Consequently, long term nervous problem in BC7 has solved today with good pleasure.

As for NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz, strange noise from frontal axle remains, I have a suspicion in hub bearing? My son must drove recklessly, no? Young driver has tendency take an automobile as a toy making sports, so it might be some my son's fault?
The surface of the Earth would be worn if the tires wear by some playing ride!

Today I covered relatively wider space by running about in Vitz, because it the only automobile that I have which has normal air conditioning system, driving in the day time at high atmospheric temperature is just exhausting task especially for a geriatric.

I dropped in the working chair company asking for residual repairing parts, though my favorite person was absent at noon.The oil pressure line parts and pneumatic toggle switches, now the plastic handle of the special switch is changed into metal one, probably for countermeasure? I met a friendly female stuff in the elevator who tried to catch my visitor's name plate that I almost dropped down by mistake. I said at that time with smile, "This is alive, so I almost loose?". She was kind enough to guide me to the room in spite of her floor was not the same as I dropped.

Fuel consumption

The cause of inconvenience in BC7 SUBARU LSi US model has not specified yet, continuous cooling fan running after being once started. Uneven heat distribution on the radiator surface reveals that coolant flowing is not adequate, so as the the first step to measure this malfunction,  replacement of a thermostat parts on the motor built on just at adjacent portion of coolant lower hose. As the next step if an inconvenience is not removed, the temperature sensor transmitting an important signal to control A/F ratio would be replaced. Though some much fuel consumption is the fundamental designing by the manufacturer while while the passed Japanese Bubble Period, much fuel consumption might have been brought by the critical phase shift of the characteristics on the sensor, playing a great part of EGI system.
As the third step, replacement of ATF, from TOYOTA Castle genuine parts D2 to SUBARU CVT ATF.
In case the malfunction in transfer clutch would not disappear, disassembling of rear case and replacement of multi-clutch plates would be performed. The service schedules continues endlessly. 

Carburetor adjustment

I would like to take pride in the fact that I could adjust a fully mechanical carburetor, Bocal 34PICT3 as to pass the exhaust gas checking in Legal Inspection for that for ongoing every two years, Carbon mono-Oxide 1,2%/4,5% and Hydro Carbon 884PPM/1,200PPM. Judging from the balance of the datum, just a bit richer adjustment might be possible to obtain more comfortable response.

The carburetor system had been replaced from Solex to Bocal few month ago, of course latter one was disassembled and serviced by myself previously resulting the situation to adjust and to set two screws for air volume and idling adjusting from the beginning. It was not so eye opening and surprising result if the task was established without any measuring devices, because it was regarded as an easy task for me to do like that in my way from the beginning.

I have an experience to have kept special French automobile for applying WRC competition, Peugeot Talbot 205 Rallye with 1,300cc and WEBER mechanical side draft carburetors for as long as 10 years maintaining her by myself.
It took me relatively long time to find out the way to adjust to set up 4 idle screws in twin carburetor with their sweetest position promptly. After establishing the way to do that perfectly, any anxiety disappeared in my mind to adjust mechanical carburetor however not a single ones  might be equipped even 4 carburetors would be possible if the conditions  other than all together were settled.

Keeping the motor rotation about 3,000 RPM utilizing only the spraying nozzles for middle speed, then seek the critical point of just starting the spraying at idle adjusting screw, because the idle adjusting screw controls both air and fuel together.
In another word, the key to success the adjusting is find out the very initial position of starting point of the spraying.
Once the points were found out, it's the same as finished.
As it is said on all the mechanical carburetors that the key to success depends  only on the fine adjustment on idling adjustment, because it affects not only in idling stage but also all the transition of rotation of the motor.

Prodigal son

My son cancelled to come to our new laboratory this week. Once decided to come to us on specific day, on every Wednesday, he should come at any rate? He has not understood the severity of our professional work, he must be in the mood of some training in a group of undergraduate students?
The opportunity to come back to our laboratory would be that of very urgent condition, for example that I would be in ambulance car falling into emergency hospital admission because of complications of Gallstone and kidney stones?
Is there any way to make him on the correct road?

2012年6月11日月曜日

Maintenance

The inconvenience of continuous cooling fan's running in BC7 SUBARU LSi US model is not eliminated at all with several suspicious factors.
Resistor value characteristic displacement of cooling water temperature sensor for ECU or fracture of ECU itself.
 How about applying additional 1k ohm adjustable resister( rheostat) in the circuitry of water thermal sensor?
Because the value of the sensor reveal higher resistor value around 3,5k ohm, the value would be met on the inflection point of the cooling fan cutting off?
Probably, very precise fuel injection amount control must be performed by the signal from the water coolant temperature in Bosch L-Jetro system.
The thermometer in the cluster shows very normal point on earth. The phenomena shows the displacement of the sensor sensitivity toward higher temperature direction, this attempt would be a interesting trial? Putting some fixed resistor would be good solution if the linearity of the physical performance like B type curvature could be obtained, no replacement of the parts is required. The method of parallel and series connection of rheostat for the purpose of current and voltage distribution would be change the linearity in any way?
Suspicious is the performance of ECU itself, because the thermometer in the cluster shows different position after restarting that has been controlled by different thermal sensor, the stylus shows lower and over-cooled position after motor restarting, then it comes to a bit position till cooling fan stats to run at high rotation phase with no tendency of stopping.
This kind of attempt is worth doing, don't you think?

Some clogging especially on water thermal valve that opens at 87 degree including it's characteristic displacement in wax pellet constructive action.

Or combustion pressure through a very small hole into water gallery through a very small pin hole formed in head gasket on right or left bank.

As for working chair, all completed fine, probably this machinery would last longer than my life span because my son would do the same as I did in future.

Judging from a consumer's standing of view, any industrial products could live infinitely if it is maintained, repaired and serviced adequately with replacing periodical replacement parts those would be made mainly of plastic and rubber materials except metal ones.

Consumption & Renewal

All the consumer durable goods of industrial production should last 6 years and loose their functions without user's sarcasm, because some internal low of depreciation and incineration are stipulated like that from a taxation.
So, all the machinery, equipments and devices should be renewed into new models. This is one of industrial production figure of normal circulation. Seeing from higher point of view, any inconvenient factor to prevent normal circulation must be eliminated by protecting efforts. I fully understand the corresponding feeling of the company.

As for me, I might not do anything in global Web site if I'm capable to do that, because I might have make invisible trouble without realizing myself. The company has shared me of desired replacement parts this time in spite of incredibly old model's ones, so I must appreciate their warm kindnesses.

Graduate University of the Air this morning has posted the improvement of the conception of hardening of arteries from Biochemical point of view. I have realized my ancient perception on this critical geriatric disease should be renewed by studying hard again as a student,  because what I lack in knowledge can not be compensated by any other way,  no pretense is forgiven, ignorant is nothing but ignorant on earth?

Reliability Engineering

As I had been taken care of another new comer pneumatic machinery, the replacement parts are not ordered instead parts number yet. Now new returning tubes parts had been connected in correct position, I have to take care of my lovely 20 years old automobile, BC7 SUBARU Legacy Lsi, tough she complains anything if left untouched with fooling around another one from an another different field. So with the prospect for the new comer, I would devote to her as before.

The affair this time taught me so much about intricate economy of commerce in various field reminding me of the principle in Reliability Engineering of Production, also Chinese ancient story of designing of "Wagon of Korin" that was done to lasts just 100 years and immediately decays and falls down in all the constructive part together exactly in 100 years.

Designing to kill only a part or a few breaks is no longer good, so to speak the machinery should work perfectly with perfect reliability while in it's designed life period and once the after the life has ruined it's construction should be fallen down all together at once, any parts should not be survive after that. This is a good machinery designing from a standing view of Reliability Engineering.

As shown on a picture in previous description the outer plastic lining of oil pressure line is not in favorable condition decaying some parts, inner mesh surface is not destroyed as to oil piling happens. Replacement of oil pressure lines thoroughly is an accepted ordinal way if once returning lines were done already, I will go as they are and the parts replacement would be done when any problem would happen in future? In the worst case, the floor of working place would be covered with scattered pressure oil pond? Consequently, re-assembling procedure of the working chair would be performed this after noon.
Failures of machinery occur one after another because of age, central hot water distribution system in villa does not work inviting the inconvenience of shower while bathing for about 2 years period of time, I do repair soon. Remembering the past, some warning was heard and stopped after that and no more, I'm afraid of the failure in some electric circuitry especially micro chip puncture or anther semiconductors disorder?

Deeper consideration

Further consideration on writing about a specific machinery led me to a conclusion that I should be refrain from opening wide in Web site, because some one who read my description might try to do the same in spite of dangerous works if he was a layman. In addition, this kind of special machinery should be maintained and serviced only by a specific engineer who had been trained and educated in a specially planned by manufacturer's program, also some safety standard is specified according to Industrial Safety and Health Act.

A beautiful flower is supported by a branch and it is done by a stem and it is sustained by roots, but they are invisible under the ground. Gaze at that! We are all the same living thing, selfish way of living is not forgiven! I hope I don't step on anyone's toe. Again, know the pain of others!

I must apologize on my shameless descriptions that lacks deeper prudence here to readers and to the the company. I must bear in mind never do this and never interfere with the natural economic distributions, because all the people in our field are making efforts everyday in a social origins of naturalism. The machinery is not for military use but for the private use and depreciation and amortizing period is not 30 years but 6 years, here is a principle of social dealing and distribution economy in our country, Japan?

Unstable & busy

Critical earthquake might happen in Europe because of Spanish financial crisis in very near future destroying Euro single currency system, then participating countries, especially Germany are held up this Climax? We cannot be an outsider if such kind of tragedy might happen far from Eastern Asia, because we are connected each other globally, so the unwell result would affects immediately after the crisis in a second. Activation of the financial community shall not be done until some big affair happens shaking the world, it should not be the third world war again, so I hope.

My son worked well in our new laboratory safe for the first time. Once a week as his day is at the beginning, his participation to our work would be increased in number gradually, then finally he would come back to Osaka settling himself somewhere around us constructing his own new family.

Takara Axis90 working chair would be moved from Mino to Osaka this morning, as all had been arranged previously.
Some maintenance service have to be done after the settlement, the oil pressure return hoses must be set first before 5 connections, compressed air, water, sewage, vacuum air and AC line including lighting switch line.
As some trouble, my private room in new laboratory would be occupied by this machinery, so my own room disappears, how come?

Ceremonious day today!

It's a very ceremonious day today for me, my son is about to work here in our new laboratory together with us for the first time. Feeling I something different from ordinal weekday, because the purpose of my desperate effort for these 27 years is nothing but this critically wonderful moment! Though his working day is only single day a week, the opportunity to come to us must be increased in number, now is the time for the starting moment of our transition period of alternative generations.

Remembering my past as one of a educational stuff in the department of Prosthodontics in some University, I have to refrain from giving too much advises from the beginning, otherwise he would have fall in self-hatered situation. Say something to him only when he asks to me, make himself realize by himself after his own considerations, let him realize on his own perceptions.
The education in technology jobs are very difficult, because he must arrange himself in his mind to know the right way, this is his own way that's different from mine, though he says he wanna follow mine.
Selecting easy way trying to obtain know-hows without his own efforts is just easy come and easy out, things important for his skill would not stick on him. He should have experiences as much as he can from now. Anyway he must create his own principle in our field as a better practitioner by his own seats.
Human life is learning tenderness after overcoming hardships, please remember?

Watching some cooking program, a son of great chef Mr. Masaru Doi follows exactly the same way of his father, as my surprise his voice is same as his father's one! I didn't watch it without feeling some frivolous, not attractive, just an imitation the monkey does not pass.
There exists some difficulty for a young successor to be the same or more than the conventional generation.

I have to prepare some amount of money to pay for his work, 35,000 yen a day including a traffic fee from Gifuhajima to Osaka, of course it's too much I know, but this is our strategy to pull back here to Osaka.

Morning sweat


Clogging of the waterway happened as usual in one of working chair last night preventing me from going home. Though made efforts I utmost, the repairing procedure was postponed till this morning. Consequently, I have sweat a bit to fix it firmly from early this morning. Constructive designing disadvantage like this might be forgiven as it had done over 20 years ago, so periodical maintenance is required on our machinery, of course residual 3 ones were checked finding some tendency of clogging a little. Now our working place is prepared for today's work on these ones digesting 45 clients! GO!

I'm going to have treatment by some Endodontic Treatment specialist in our neighborhood on my left upper central, it had been treated by my friend already when I had urgent inflammation in pulp tissue, still has it some chronic continuous inflammation with no pain but with some strange feeling when my body health condition is not so good. Judging from a X-ray information, some bone resorption is recommended meaning the root canal treatment is not enough to seal the canal on the tip portion or some bacterial infectious reaction exists. This is why I come to a dentist's tonight. Also the root canal treatment had been done with a good concentration, still have I some discomfort on functional root, palatal one, praying that would better day by day. I just remembered the principle of RCT, any bacterial infection on root chip in bony tissue should be eliminated before root canal filling procedure. In the worst case that the problem would not solved, I will come to Tokyo for Otani Institute of Root Canal Treatment. I must prepare 60,000 yen for 4 roots treatment in total, because the price of the treatment by a specialist would cost 15,000 per one root, so I hear?

Private and social affairs

Indispensable parts connecting oil pressure line in the working chair Takara Axis 90 arrived on Saturday before noon, for the sake of friendship of Osaka engineer. The identification printing of the tube shows TOKAI URETHANE TUBE UN1/4 O.D. meaning the constructive material is Urethane?
According to the specific performance in the Web site, Nylon material should be applied for oil pressure line, Urethane material is suitable for air and water lines only, how come?
I must check this point additionally on the oil specification for this machinery, probably some gear oil #90 might be applicable, also automatic trans-axle fluid or power steering oil might be available if the aggression to rubber materials might be ignored.

The refrigerator from my friend works well and it's thankful for a piece of ice taking after some hard work like yesterday. Now I lack only electric washing machine in my villa to live there alone, I'll do so after the alternation of generation in my laboratory in few years. The place is now used as a parts warehouse, desperate efforts would be required to organize inside.

The felon was arrested yesterday, one of the perpetrators of Sarin Incident 17 years ago. Is there any important affair to be informed other than Earthquake and Sarin?

Came back exhausted



Even for a smallest automobile like NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz, drive shafts replacement work finishing in a day is too hard for geriatric, because I returned home exhausted. Thank to desperate effort by myself, noisy jagging disappeared thoroughly and test driving were performed pleasantly, now it has no defect like new one.
Most of the factory engineers have tendency to separate knuckle and and strut loosening strut bolt, I had selected the way to do on knuckle ball joint.
Strut bolt is utilized as the camber adjustment portion, so once loosened wheel alignment adjust should be follower. But separated knuckle ball joint comes back surely in the original position because of tapered mechanical joint construction. This is why I had chosen this way though some complications would be accompanied.
Narrower space comparing conventional model EP82 required some modification of special tool  by grinding upper part to suit this NCP10 model.

 BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model, continuous running of cooling fan at Hi level was activated by ECU control. Deteriorated cooling water temperature sensor sends ill signal like over heating phenomena happened, so the fans are activated in Hi level. In addition the sensor problem, cooling fans relay on-boarded in dash board might be a criminal of this affair. Making up my mind to replace upper two parts without any hesitation including thermostat also. Avoiding misunderstandings between a client and the usual parts supplier(it happened several times in the past), I have to be informed the parts numbers by friendly factory mechanic. Probably it would be done on next Saturday and Sunday.

Busy person also today

I must check the service manual for BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model from now, because the cooling fans continue running while not in over heating but in normal condition in spite of bubble removing work had been performing so carefully as taking time repeatedly. The reaction of electric fans that the phenomena stops after restarting of EJ22 motor shows the action should be controlled not by mechanical reason but be done by some electric especially software?
Of course a cooling water temperature sensor might have something to do with the inconvenience, in addition to an electric fan mechanical relay.

First of all checking the diagnosis restored in ECU have to be done seeking the fault or faults, cooling water sensor defect should be shown as Morse signal #21 by flushing the check engine lamp, in addition to the former procedure by connecting black 2P coupler, the unconnected 2P green coupler would perform self-diagnosis immediately after connection with the performance of decided recipe by the factory design probably following Bosch patents. As for mechanical parts replacement, thermal sensor for ECU & mechanical thermostat controlled at 78 degree Celsius would be replaced after the checking on the poor contact between the terminals promptly.
Some ECU signal might be mischievous to trigger the strange phenomena this time, so I feel.

Though I worked on hard muscle task to move heavy refrigerator from Mino to my villa at Nakayama in addition to my occupation, I have to work for drive shaft replacement on NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz, as noisy defected ones are waiting for the turn letting of the numbers, of course the replacement parts are ready for that after replacing included chrome molybdenum grease following the information, too much moistened grease called rusting of internal mechanism.

The wanted planning of moving Takara Axis90 working chair from Mino to our new laboratory was postponed till coming Thursday, because of lack of the workers, 2 men and a woman were not enough to pull up the weight of 136kg gravity, one or more professionals are necessary. Only the X-Ray device, Siemens Heliomat KV70 was removed and brought to my villa.
At that time I knew special information for moving any refrigerator, it should not be activated by electric plug in causing inconvenient mechanical phenomena  because of the necessity for stable positioning of the refrigerant inside.

Freedom or Safety?


I thought it strange the other day when I passed through some usual narrow alley that habitually barking dog never did it to me just watching with a vacant eye. A few days later found him or her lay down on the ground covered with a piece of cloth, probably he or she might have been in bad health condition as not bark to me. Waking a few meters distance, a rusted dog chain was there untouched for a long time, probably the outcome should be the same. Both of them had some proof to be nourished without starvation but with tight iron chain on neck bound their freedom, then I thought which would be happier for a dog in different living circumstances reflecting my own life on them?
Which to choose, Freedom or Stable but Chained daily life?

Successfully passed




Legal Inspection every 2 years for XH200 B-Vectra was cleared safe with any argument yesterday and the following tasks also digested with desperate muscle efforts with some accident.
New system is introduced to show securities and insurance tax certificate when receiving new examination certificate, so six form papers in total should be served to the counter.

One of a most critical defect was the fracture of oil pressure pipes activating head wrest extension movement. Asking the engineer of Tkarabelmont, the replacement parts would be prepared , as for my surprise, indispensable special parts, 12mm-100mm bolt are necessary for fixing the oil pressured cylinder mechanisms otherwise the upper part of working chair would be slipped up when the seat upper part was held for handling. The engineer promised me to send the special bolt and pressure hose. The movement main part would be moved to us on coming Thursday in the morning.

Takarabelmont Axis 90 working chair has excellent designing construction reflecting the long lasting production performances in different field, barber chair production covering almost of share in Japan. The strength of the movement hinges are strong and tight with no tendency of wear, over quality as it may be, the period of 30 years after production contains no anxiety for provisional use from now. Oil pressurized mechanisms and hand tools ones are basically separated, this concept might have made this machinery last long?

I would enjoy setting this machinery from now in combinations with the new designing of lighting system, LED with cell battery driving supporting by relatively delicate and lighter flexible arm.
This task is one of a most interesting one for me because I have been thing about this concept 30 years ago, some situation like this opportunity makes me exert myself in a new interest.
As my personality, some outer factor is necessary to start new preserved planning.
