Tactile colour pictogram to improve artwork appreciation of people with visual impairments

A recent development in tactile technology enables an improvement in the appreciation of the visual arts for people with visual impairment (PVI). The tactile sense, in conjunction with, or a possibly as an alternative to, the auditory sense, would allow PVIs to approach artwork in a more self‐driven and engaging way that would be difficult to achieve with just an auditory stimulus. Tactile colour pictograms (TCPs), which are raised geometric patterns, are ideographic characters that are designed to enable PVIs to identify colours and interpret information by touch. In this article, three TCPs are introduced to code colours in the Munsell colour system. Each colour pattern consists of a basic cell size of 10 mm × 10 mm to represent the patterns consistently in terms of regular shape. Each TCP consists of basic geometric patterns that are combined to create primary, secondary, and tertiary colour pictograms of shapes indicating colour hue, intensity and lightness. Each TCP represents 29 colours including six hues; they were then further expanded to represent 53 colours. Two of them did not increase the cell size, the other increased the cell size 1.5 times for some colours, such as yellow‐orange, yellow, blue, and blue‐purple. Our proposed TCPs use a slightly larger cell size compared to most tactile patterns currently used to indicate colour, but code for more colours. With user experience and identification tests, conducted with 23 visually impaired adults, the effectiveness of the TCPs suggests that they were helpful for the participants.

油藏中后期减氧空气驱提高采收率机理研究

尕斯库勒油田E¹₃油藏已经进入高含水时期，储采失衡加剧，综合含水率达到了80%以上，原油产量下降，经济效益变差。为了提高油藏原油采出程度、改善油藏开发效果，调研了国内外减氧空气驱的机理研究以及现场试验的资料，建立了以油藏真实孔渗饱数据为基础的一维条形地层机理模型，并选取该油藏Y12-27井组进行了减氧空气驱可行性验证。研究表明:纵向顶部减氧空气驱驱油效果优于水驱和氮气驱；驱替压力对原油采出程度影响不大；注水转注气可以提高原油采出程度；对于减氧空气驱，由于低温氧化反应的作用，氧气浓度对原油采出程度有一定影响，但比较微弱，其中，氧气浓度为10%时，驱替结束采出程度最高；尕斯库勒油田E¹₃油藏属于注水开发“双高”油藏，适用于减氧空气驱；对于该油藏Y12-27井组，顶部减氧空气驱驱油效果好于水驱和氮气驱，建议氧气浓度超过10%时采取关井等措施。     

负载羧基化球状介孔纳米颗粒TFN膜的研究

在薄层复合膜(thin-film composite membrane, TFC膜)中引入无机纳米颗粒，形成薄层纳米复合膜(thin-film nanocomposite membrane, TFN膜)，近几年作为反渗透膜开始应用于水处理研究。但是无机纳米颗粒在TFC膜中的性能的不稳定性和膜的机械强度等变成了突出问题。合成制备了粒径约为110 nm修饰羧基的介孔氧化硅球状纳米颗粒(MSN—COOH)，并将其成功地化学键合在TFC膜的表面功能层交联网络中。与TFC膜相比，键合有MSN—COOH的TFN膜，水通量提高了56.2%，保持高脱盐率；由于单分散介孔纳米颗粒表面亲水官能团的引入，使膜表面的亲水性有很大程度提高，单分散介孔纳米颗粒在基体中的有序排列，使膜表面粗糙度降低，提高了膜的抗污染能力。与普通TFN膜相比较，具有更好的稳定性和柔韧性，可以在长时间高压过滤操作下保持稳定。     

喷油方式对斜齿轮齿面温度的影响

为探讨喷油方式对齿面温度的影响，以斜齿轮为研究对象，通过CFD仿真和试验研究不同喷油方式对斜齿轮齿面温度的影响。针对斜齿轮喷油润滑过程的特点，分析其齿面摩擦生热量，简化轮齿喷油润滑计算模型，并基于CFX进行齿面对流换热仿真研究，得到了不同喷油方式下的齿面温度；基于功率开放式斜齿轮试验平台，对不同喷油方式下的齿面温度进行了试验测量，与仿真计算结果进行对比分析。结果表明：在高速重载斜齿轮传动系统中，啮出侧喷油润滑的方式比啮入侧喷油润滑方式的冷却降温效果要好。
