Introduction of SETC 2011

Theme

Diversity of
Small Powertrain Technologies

Since its first event in 1989, the Small Engine Technology Conference (SETC) continues to be the international
technology conference for small engines and related products. SETC is jointly sponsored by Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, Inc. (JSAE) and SAE International.
JSAE is pleased to offer the 17th SETC which will be held at the Sapporo Convention Center in Sapporo from
November 8 to 10, with the cooperation of Japan Land Engine Manufacturers Association (LEMA) and Japan
Boating Industry Association (JBIA).
Considering the circumstances of small engines, arising concerns for global warming and other environmental
issues, the main theme for this Conference, “Diversity of Small Powertrain Technologies”, has been chosen.

Wednesday, November 9, 15:15 - 17:30 at Hall C
Theme

There is a growing concern on the environmental crisis with global warming, and the various approaches in eachtechnical field for reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases into atmosphere are greatly drawing attention. So
far, in the field of the internal combustion engines and their circumferences that have been considered as the core
part of SETC, various new attempts for their improvement of efficiency have been done in technological areas.
On the other hand, a new stream to adopt electric power surges in the area of products as well, where small engines
have made its base. Moreover, the study has been in progress developing a new plan for the electric power
infrastructure, for example, the smart grid concept aiming at practical use. However, it has not reached to judging
point of the complete shift to the electric power because there are many issues in its adoption. It may be a conceivable case, in our opinion, that the age of the diverse power resources will come in the foreseeable future.
In the SETC2011 Plenary Session, the following four topics will be introduced by specialists. Then, we would liketo lead the attractive discussions regarding the future visions. Through those discussions, we hope that the
researches and developments of internal combustion engine and electric drive technologies will be made further
advancement by studies mutually done with diligence for the future.

Current Status and Future Forecast of Research and Development of Small
Internal Combustion Engine (tentative)

Mr. Pierre Duret
Director
Center for “Engines &Utilization of Hydrocarbons”
IFP School, France.

Pierre DURET was graduated in 1981 from the French Engineer School “Ecole Centrale deParis” and started his career at IFPEN (IFP New Energy) in 1982 as research engineer responsibleof the study and development of direct fuel injected two-stroke engines.
In 1987, he became Projects leader “Two-Stroke Engines” at IFPEN, responsible of a R&D group
working on several projects of design and development of low emissions high fuel economy small
two-stroke engines and gasoline controlled auto-ignition engines for world-wide customers.
In 1996, he joined the management of the IFPEN engines R&D as Assistant Director and then in2011 as Deputy Director of the "Engines & Energy" Technology Business Unit. During this period(and still now) he sometimes acted as expert for French Public authorities and for the European
Commission in internal combustion engines and also coordinated several EU Projects, Network of
Excellence and International Consortium Projects driven by IFPEN.
In September 2003, he moved to the IFP School as Director of the Center for "Engines and Utilization of Hydrocarbons", still his current position.
In parallel, since May 2005, he is also the Chairman of the "Powertrain" Committee of the FrenchSociety of Automotive Engineers, especially involved in the organization of several International
Congresses on Powertrains.
During his career, P. Duret applied for more than 30 families of granted patents and publishedmore than 50 international papers on engines and powertrains for automotive and other applications. He got several "Best paper" Awards including two at SETC 1993 and 2002.

Technical VisitsTechnical Visits will be arranged on Monday, November 7 with the cooperation of the following organizations.
SETC 2011 Technical Visits offer unique courses of interests. Encounter the spirit of the Japanese sword andobserve large-scale steel production at The Japan Steel Works, Ltd. Also experience the unique DMV and thehistory of Hokkaido’s railways at Hokkaido Railway Company. The Hokkaido University Museum displays thescientific history of Hokkaido. In addition, other attractions include a special view of Sapporo from Okurayama
Jump Stadium and Japanese sake tasting at the Chitosetsuru Brewery.

The Japan Steel Works, LTD.

The Japan Steel Works, Ltd. (JSW) was established in 1907 andhad amassed a wealth of advanced technology as the largest
private weapons manufacturer in Japan by the end of WorldWar II. After the war, conversion of production to meet civilian
demand gave the company a fresh start, and materials andprocessing technologies accumulated over the years were used
as a base for technical development and the cultivation of new
business fields.

The Company’s products now include

large-scale steel castings and forgings, heavy machinery andsteel structures, steel plates, plastic machinery, industrial

Hokkaido Railway Company
Hokka
The JR Naebo Workshop began its operations 102 years ago, and iswhere rolling stock is inspected, repaired, remodel, and built.
Technological development, design, running tests, and data analysis
related this work can also be observed, along with the the manufacture of rolling stock brake shoes. Test ride a Dual Mode Vehicle(DMV), which is modified from a microbus and developed to run onboth railway tracks and roads. While it runs with front and rearrubber tires on the road, on the railway it is operated with front andrear steel wheels as well as rear rubber tires set on the tracks.

The Hokkaido University Museum was establish
established in 1999, and has acollection of of more than 4 million irreplaceable
irreplacespecimens andacademic materials stretching back to the time of the Sapporo Agricultural College (now Hokkaido University), which was founded in 1876.
The Museum was established to promote the use of the collection inprojects that cannot be undertaken digitally, and makes full use of
Hokkaido’s geographical location and geomorphological character toundertake educational and research projects that center on the area
embraced by Eurasia, the Sea of Okhotsk and the Arctic Circle.
The Museum seeks to encourage young people with talent and imagination to construct a sustainable society in which citizens canlead comfortable lives in harmony with their natural environment, while also undertaking research into such questions as the historyof the earth and the evolution of biodiversity, to better understand the origin and genealogy of mankind and the growth of humanculture. The Museum also hopes to help establish Sapporo as a model city with a full and rich cultural life.

Jumping World Cup, the Nordic World Ski Championships,
and in 2017 is set to host the Asian Winter Games. Despite
being a large metropolis, a short trip out to the suburbs
reveals abundant natural scenery, where outdoor leisureactivities such as hiking, canoeing and camping can beenjoyed. Each of the four seasons bring their own delights,
and every year many tourists from both home and abroad visit
the region, which is famous for being one of Japan’s leading

words sari poro pet meaning a river linedwith a large reed bed, or sat poro petmeaning large dried-up river.

and Horace Capron, who were hiredfrom the United States by the government during the colonial period, theAmerican influence on urban planning,architecture, agriculture and stock
farming is still evident today.
