Recently, Disk array is widely used as a long term storage device in PACS, but reliability is not enough in relation to annual failure rate of disk. Between October 2016 and February 2017, we scanned the serial port of the hard disk while reading or storing medical images on a PACS reader. The data rate was calculated from the data stored in HDD 99ea that were used in the PCAS image storage device and in HDD 101ea that were used in the Personal Computer. When a CT image was read from a PACS reader, Reading was 87.8% and Writing was 12.2% in units of several tens of megabytes or less. When the CT image was stored in the PACS reader, Reading was 11.4% and Writing was 88.6% in units of several tens of megabytes or less. While reading the excel file on the personal computer, Reading was 75% and Writing was 25% in less than 3 MB, and In the process of storing the excel file on the personal computer, Reading was carried out by 38% and Writing was carreid out 62% in the units of 3 MB or less. The transfer rate of the hard disk used in the PACS image storage device was 10 GB/h, and the transfer rate per hour of the hard disk of the personal computer was 5 GB / h. Annual failure rate of hard disk of image storage system is 0.97 ~ 1.13%, Annual failure rate of Hard Disk of personal computer is 0.97 ~ 1.13%. the higher transfer rate is, the higher annual failure rate is. These results will be used as a basis for predicting the life expectancy of the hard disk and the annual failure rate.

Al-Cr alloy with composition in the range from 1.5 wt% to 10 wt% Cr were rapidly solidified from the melt by the single roller method. The supersaturated solid solution was obtained up to 6 wt% Cr in Al-Cr alloy for $20{\mu}m$ thickness. Lattice parameter decreased with increasing Cr content at the rate of 0.00456A per wt% Cr up to 6 wt% Cr. Microhardness increased with increasing Cr content at the rate of $10\;Kg/mm^2$ per wt% Cr up to 6 wt% Cr. Microhardness measurements on the Al-6 wt% Cr supersaturated solid solution annealed isothermally showed no sign of age hardening. Decomposition temperature, determined by lattice parameter changes and microhardness changes, was $470^{\circ}C$ for Al-6 wt% Cr supersaturated solid solution. Transmission electron microscopy showed that decomposition within one hour below $400^{\circ}C$ occurred at grain boundaries only, and also the additional decomposition within grains being evident at $450^{\circ}C$ The coarse precipitate structure showed at $500^{\circ}C$ and $550^{\circ}C$, respectively. The coarse precipitate structure is considered $Al_7Cr$.

Corona discharge is always a sign of failure processes of high-voltage electrical apparatus, including those utilized in electric railway systems. Solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) cameras are effective tools for corona inspection. In this work, we present an automatic railway corona-discharge detection system based on solar-blind ultraviolet detection. The UV camera, mounted on top of a train, inspects the electrical apparatus, including transmission lines and insulators, along the railway during fast cruising of the train. An algorithm based on the Hough transform is proposed for distinguishing the emitting objects (corona discharge) from the noise. The detection system can report the suspected corona discharge in real time during fast cruises. An experiment was carried out during a routine inspection of railway apparatus in Xinjiang Province, China. Several corona-discharge points were found along the railway. The false-alarm rate was controlled to less than one time per hour during this inspection.
