To investigate the degradation of the touchpad usability by surface wear, the touchpad with new, worn, plastics and paper surfaces are examined in terms of performance and frictional response. It is found that the friction coefficient of the surface affect the usability. It is concluded that the major factors controlling the friction was surface roughness. It is also found that friction coefficient is affected by the difficulty of the task. The reasons for this is the human tendency to be cautious, he/she try to reduce the load to be precise. Then the load dependence of friction coefficient results in high friction. The other reason is mental sweating, which will be increased when the task is difficult. 相似文献
A demodulation technique based on improvement empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is investigated in this paper. Firstly, the problem of the envelope line in EMD is introduced and the drawbacks of two classic interpolation methods, cubic spline interpolation method and cubic Hermite interpolation method are discussed; then a new envelope interpolation method called optimized rational Hermite interpolation method (O-EMD) is proposed, which has a shape controlling parameter compared with the cubic Hermite interpolation algorithm. At the same time, in order to improve the envelope approximation accuracy of local mean, the parameter determining criterion is put forward and an optimization with Genetic Algorithm (GA) is applied to automatic select the suitable shape controlling parameter in each sifting process. The effectiveness of O-EMD method is validated by the numerical simulations and an application to gear fault diagnosis. Results demonstrate that O-EMD method can improve the reliability and accuracy significantly compared with traditional EMD method. 相似文献
