Dr. Janglin (John) Chen
Vice President & General Director
Display Technology Center
Industrial Technology Research Institute

Abstract:
Electronic paper (e-Paper) has drawn much attention for its promise to
curb the overuse of paper, such as printed matters, and office
documents, etc. The one important feature of e-Paper displays is that
they do not require backlight to operate, providing a power saving,
paper-like reading experience. Also, their bi-stability enables zero
power consumption for still image display.

To meet the future needs for digital life style and for ‘greener’
display panels, ITRI has focused research on flexible display
technologies. For digital life, flexible EPD, OLED will address the
portability, while flexible touch is to enhance user-friendly interface.
For ‘green panel,’ large-area, roll-to-roll processable Ch-LCD will
deliver power saving, material and cost advantages.

Biography:
Dr. Janglin (John) Chen is a Vice President of Industrial Technology
Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan, and the General Director of
ITRI’s Display Technology Center. Prior to Joining ITRI, Dr. Chen
was a Research Fellow of Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York,
where he held many R&D managerial positions from 1982 to 2006, and is
the author of sixty technical articles, and 33 issued US Patents. A
native of Taiwan, Dr. Chen holds a Bachelor degree from Tsing Hua
University, a Ph.D. degree from Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, New
York, and is a graduate of Stanford Executive Program, Graduate School
of Business, Stanford University.

University

Abstract:
Turbo machinery components such as blade integrated disks (BLISKs) and
nozzle guide vanes (NGVs) made from Nickel and Titanium base alloys such
as Inconel 718, Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-6246, Ti-17, Mar-M247 and CMSX-4 are
predestinated for repair and salvage operations due to their high value.
Currently these components are manufactured by time and cost intensive
process chains containing processing steps such as casting, forging,
milling, linear friction welding, thermal spraying etc.

The laser additive manufacturing process Laser Metal Deposition (LMD)
offers new effective entire process chains by decreasing the number of
processing steps as well as by enabling emerging applications for
specific process steps. Parts can be repaired which were formally
classified as non-repairable and components can be manufactured
additively by new process chain designs and new processes.

This talk addresses the pathways from feasibility studies over process
developments yielding in certified processes and industrially
implemented machines. For BLISK manufacturing the single blades are
directly manufactured additively on the disk by LMD. The significant
increase of the deposition rate combined with a near-net-shape
deposition is realized by the use of up to 10 kW laser power and the
first application of a newly-designed LMD head with an integrated
zoom-optics. The achievable metallurgical, mechanical - static and
dynamic mechanical properties - and geometrical results, the implemented
process chains including CAD/CAM/NC-coupling are presented and
discussed.

Biography:
Akad. Oberrat Dr.-Ing. Ingomar Kelbassa has studied mechanical
engineering at RWTH Aachen University and has been working in the field

LightPath Technologies is sponsoring a Laser Focus World Webcast on IR Optics: Meaningful Specifications for Complex Aspheres

Increasingly, aspheric optical elements are moving from the specialized to the commonplace. Nowhere is this more pronounced than in IR optical systems, where it is common to find more aspheric elements than spherical ones. But despite the increasing use of aspheres, specifying their shape and other properties is still far from a routine process.

Greg Forbes of QED Technologies will present a new and intuitive way to mathematically represent rotationally symmetric aspheric surfaces, leading to easier interpretations and sanity checks as well as more-direct assessments of manufacturability. Dave Aikens of Savvy Optics will highlight some of the key issues to consider when specifying an aspheric optical element, and will provide guidance on making the best use of the optical-drawing formats available to the user today.

What You'll Learn

• Review of conventional asphere-shape representation
• A new, simpler way to represent aspheres
• Review of surface-form tolerancing
• Key issues in specifying an aspheric optical element
• Guidance on specifying for manufacturability

Who Should Attend:
Engineers, Optical Designers, Optical System Engineers, Optical Manufacturers, IR System Designers.

TODAY - Physics Colloquium- Fri., Oct. 22, MAP 318, 4:20 P.M.

Dr. Ilya Krivorotov

University of California - Irvine

Spin Transfer and Nonlinear Magnetization Dynamics in Ferromagnetic Nanostructures

Spin transfer torque from a spin-polarized current applied to a metallic ferromagnet can excite magnetization oscillations of very large amplitude. We use this unique property of spin current to study new types of magnetization dynamics in the strongly nonlinear regime.

I will describe our recent measurements of spin-current-driven dynamics in nanoscale ferromagnetic dots and ferromagnetic nanowires. In these systems, we observe several unusual magneto-dynamic phenomena that include non-adiabatic stochastic resonance, rapid current-induced domain wall motion and size quantization of nonlinear magnon scattering. I will also briefly discuss emerging technologies such as universal magnetic memory and microwave nanooscillators that utilize interactions between spin currents and magnetization in nanoscale magnetic tunnel junctions.
