Temperature Compensation Algorithm for Hydraulic System Pressure Control

In this paper the control mechanism of solenoid valve is analyzed, which shows the solenoid valve control is actually the control of coil current. The response characteristic of coil current is related to coil inductance and resistance. The coil resistance is influenced greatly by the ambient temperature and the self-heating of coil, which affects the control precision of coil current. First, considering the heat dissipation mode of coil, the coil temperature model is established from the perspective of heat conduction, and a temperature compensation algorithm for hydraulic system pressure control is put forward. Then the hardware-in-the-loop testbed is set up by using the dSPACE platform, carrying out wheel cylinder pressurization tests with inlet valve fully opened at -40℃ and 20℃, and testing the actual pressure of wheel cylinder with the target pressures at -40℃ and 6.000 kPa/s (pressurization rate). The results show that the pressure control temperature compensation algorithm proposed in this paper accurately corrects the influence of resistance temperature drift on the response accuracy of wheel cylinder pressure. After the correction, the pressure difference is less than 500 kPa, which can meet the control accuracy requirements of solenoid valve, enriching the linear control characteristic of solenoid valve.

Recovery planning of industrial robots based on semantic information of failures and time-dependent utility

Industrial robots are required to recover from temporary errors and continue operations under a changing environment. In this paper, we propose a recovery planning system that considers the semantic information behind errors during robotic actions. In order to establish general repair strategies for feasible recovery plans under uncertainties, the proposed system uses a conceptual graph based on case grammar and a Bayesian network that is dynamically constructed according to the semantic information. In addition, we tackle the problem that the wealth of the recovery plan depends on the uncertainty of execution costs against the deadline at the production site. The proposed system controls the decision model by using a time-dependent utility. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system through simulations of assembly tasks by multiple robots.     

The functionality of woven fabric from air-jet yarn from the mixture of CO/PA and CO/PES fibres in the weft direction

The purpose of presented research is to find out the influence of air-jet yarn from the mixture of CO/PA (50/50) and CO/PES (67/33) fibres on functionality of woven fabric in the plain weave.The first part of the study is directed to the mechanical and physical properties of air-jet yarns (16.7 tex) from CO/PA and CO/PES fibres, while the second part of the study focuses on permeability properties of fabrics with air-jet yarns in the weft. The results show that air-jet yarn in the weft direction influences on the water vapor transmission and thermal conduction increase and air permeability decrease.Incorporation of air-jet yarn in the weft direction also improves breaking extension level.The results of presented research also show that the incorporation of air-jet yarn in the weft has statistical important influence on thermal conduction, water-vapor and air permeability changes.     

Better recovery from lameness among dairy cows housed in hospital pens

Housing in hospital pens may be beneficial for lame cows due to soft flooring and less competition for resources. We compared recovery from lameness among dairy cows housed in designated hospital pens, with deep-litter straw, with recovery among cows housed together with the rest of the lactating cows in their home pens, with cubicles and slatted or solid concrete floors. Additionally, we compared lying behavior in the 2 groups of cows. A total of 168 lame dairy cows from 5 herds were included in the study. Each herd was visited once weekly, and lame cows (locomotion score 3 or 4 on a 5-point scale) were examined in a hoof-trimming chute, trimmed, and randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatments: housing in a hospital pen (termed “treatment”; 72 cows) or housing under the herds' standard conditions together with the rest of the lactating cows in the herd (termed “control”; 96 cows). Cows were locomotion scored weekly until they were no longer lame or until they had been part of the trial for 3 weeks (i.e., 2, 3, or 4 locomotion scorings per cow). We categorized cows to describe the progression of lameness over time: recovery (divided into fast, medium, or slow), improvement without recovery, constant lameness, or worsening of lameness. Lying behavior was recorded in a sample of 60 of the 168 cows for a period of 5 d. Overall, recovery from lameness was significantly different between treatment and control cows. The proportion of cows included in the study with locomotion score 4 and a subsequent improvement was significantly higher among treatment cows than among control cows. Among cows included with locomotion score 4, 40% of treatment cows also had a locomotion score 4 at the fourth locomotion scoring, 46% had improved to a score 3, and 14% were no longer lame. In comparison, 73% of control cows had a locomotion score 4 at the fourth locomotion scoring, 16% had improved to a score 3, and 11% were no longer lame. We found no differences between treatment and control cows for mean daily lying time, number of steps per day, number of daily lying bouts, or mean duration of lying bouts. Housing of lame dairy cows in a hospital pen with a soft surface, easier access to feed and water, a smaller group size, and reduced waiting time for milking may have positive effects on recovery from lameness. Typically, farmers have housed only severely lame cows in hospital pens. However, our results indicate that less severely lame cows may also benefit from a stay in a hospital pen.     

某烧绿石尾矿选铌试验研究

国外某地含有丰富的烧绿石资源，属碱性碳酸盐矿体，原矿Nb2O5含量大于1%，在经历长流程胺法烧绿石浮选之后，尾矿含Nb2O5较高，铌资源未能得到综合回收，该烧绿石尾矿仍具有较高的回收价值。由于该尾矿长期在尾矿库堆存，药剂污染严重、含泥量较大，本工艺预先采用“磨矿擦洗-脱泥”的工艺改善其浮选性质，然后通过“磁选-脱钙”的工艺进行杂质矿物抛废，最终采用螯合类组合捕收剂实现烧绿石的选择性高效捕收。在原料Nb2O5品位0.71%的条件下，获得了Nb2O5品位55.07%、回收率38.23%的烧绿石精矿，尾矿中烧绿石资源得到回收。     

Peripheral Nerve-Derived Stem Cell Spheroids Induce Functional Recovery and Repair after Spinal Cord Injury in Rodents

Stem cell therapy is one of the most promising candidate treatments for spinal cord injury. Research has shown optimistic results for this therapy, but clinical limitations remain, including poor viability, engraftment, and differentiation. Here, we isolated novel peripheral nerve-derived stem cells (PNSCs) from adult peripheral nerves with similar characteristics to neural-crest stem cells. These PNSCs expressed neural-crest specific markers and showed multilineage differentiation potential into Schwann cells, neuroglia, neurons, and mesodermal cells. In addition, PNSCs showed therapeutic potential by releasing the neurotrophic factors, including glial cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor, insulin-like growth factor, nerve growth factor, and neurotrophin-3. PNSC abilities were also enhanced by their development into spheroids which secreted neurotrophic factors several times more than non-spheroid PNSCs and expressed several types of extra cellular matrix. These features suggest that the potential for these PNSC spheroids can overcome their limitations. In an animal spinal cord injury (SCI) model, these PNSC spheroids induced functional recovery and neuronal regeneration. These PNSC spheroids also reduced the neuropathic pain which accompanies SCI after remyelination. These PNSC spheroids may represent a new therapeutic approach for patients suffering from SCI.
