Quantitative method for estimating stain density in electron microscopy of conventionally prepared biological specimens

Stain density is an important parameter for optimising the quality of ultrastructural data obtained from several types of 3D electron microscopy techniques, including serial block-face electron microscopy (SBEM), and focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM). Here, we show how some straightforward measurements in the TEM can be used to determine the stain density based on a simple expression that we derive. Numbers of stain atoms per unit volume are determined from the measured ratio of the bright-field intensities from regions of the specimen that contain both pure embedding material and the embedded biological structures of interest. The determination only requires knowledge of the section thickness, which can either be estimated from the microtome setting, or from low-dose electron tomography, and the elastic scattering cross section for the heavy atoms used to stain the specimen. The method is tested on specimens of embedded blood platelets, brain tissue and liver tissue.     

综合传动装置胀圈密封轴槽间隙设计方法

研究一种基于理论计算与CFD仿真的胀圈密封环轴槽间隙尺寸设计方法。基于流体力学的基本方程,建立胀圈密封流场的数学模型;结合实际工况与使用要求,确定胀圈密封环与轴槽径向间隙、轴向间隙及配流衬套与旋转轴之间的间隙尺寸的约束范围;建立流场的计算流体力学模型,通过正交试验设计,分析影响胀圈密封性能的高灵敏度因素;以密封泄漏量最小为目标函数,选取最佳的轴槽间隙设计参数。结果表明,研究的3种间隙中,相比于胀圈密封环与轴槽的径向间隙、轴向间隙,配流衬套与旋转轴之间的间隙对密封环的泄漏量影响更为显著,当配流衬套与旋转轴之间的间隙增大,泄漏量也随之增大。

Wire-free electricity: Insights from a techno-futuristic exploration

Wireless Power Transmission is an emerging technology that enables the transmission of electricity without the use of artificial conducting mediums. Lack of significant technological breakthroughs widely affected its progress. In this paper, we analyze the early progress of WPT and attempt to forecast its growth using Pearl curve model. Fisher-Pry substitution model analysis indicates that technology substitution of wired transmission has just begun and half the substitution will be over by 2028. We conducted patent landscaping to identify hot domains and specific technology areas. Implications for technology developers and manufacturers, electric utility providers and national policymakers are also identified.

Temporal information based GoP adaptation for linear video delivery schemes

An original wireless video transmission scheme called SoftCast has been recently proposed to deal with the issues encountered in conventional wireless video broadcasting systems (e.g. cliff effect). In this paper, we evaluate and optimize the performance of the SoftCast scheme according to the transmitted video content. Precisely, an adaptive coding mechanism based on GoP-size adaptation, which takes into account the temporal information fluctuations of the video, is proposed. This extension denoted Adaptive GoP-size mechanism based on Content and Cut detection for SoftCast (AGCC-SoftCast) significantly improves the performance of the SoftCast scheme. It consists in modifying the GoP-size according to the shot changes and the spatio-temporal characteristics of the transmitted video. When hardware capacities, such as buffer or processor performance are limited, an alternative method based only on the shot changes detection (AGCut-SoftCast) is also proposed. Improvements up to 16 dB for the PSNR and up to 0.55 for the SSIM are observed with the proposed solutions at the cut boundaries. In addition, temporal visual quality fluctuations are reduced under 1dB in average, showing the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
