Computerised trace method for establishing equations for dimensions and tolerances in design and manufacture

A computerised trace method has been developed for determining the relationships of assembly requirements with design dimensions and tolerances of the components in an assembly, and the relationships of design specifications and machining allowance requirements with manufactured dimensions and tolerances of the component in a process plan. This method traces from the proposed components or planned operations only the dimensions and tolerances that affect the given requirement, and therefore the equations for design or for manufacture can be established simultaneously and accurately. Hence it is possible to establish constraints for the optimisation of dimensions and tolerances for design or for manufacture.     

Effect of surface-modifying macromolecules and solvent evaporation time on the performance of polyethersulfone membranes for the separation of chloroform/water mixtures by pervaporation

Polyethersulfone (PES) membranes using different evaporation periods were fabricated by the phase-inversion method. Pervaporation experiments were conducted for chloroform/water mixtures to determine the selectivity of the PES membranes. It was found that chloroform could be concentrated in the permeate from chloroform/water binary feed mixtures by PES membranes prepared using longer evaporation periods, and that the selectivity of PES membranes in pervaporation could be reversed by shorter evaporation periods. This study also showed that by adding surface-modifying macromolecules (SMM) up to 1 wt % into the casting solution, chloroform enrichment in the permeate could be increased by 50%. Chloroform enrichment increased with increasing SMM concentration until an optimal value, after which the enrichment decreased. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Prebiotic synthesis of sequential peptides on the Hadean beach by a molecular engine working with nitrogen oxides as energy sources

Addressing the still open question of the prebiotic origin of sequential macromolecules (peptides, nucleic acids) on the primitive Earth, we describe a molecular engine (the primary pump), which works at ambient temperature and continuously generates, elongates and complexifies sequential peptides. This new scenario is based on a cyclic reaction sequence, whose keystep is the activation of amino acids into their N‐carboxyanhydrides (NCA) through nitrosation by NOx. This process could have taken place on tidal beaches; it requires a buffered ocean, emerged land and a nitrosating atmosphere. With the help of geochemical studies and computer simulations of atmosphere photochemistry, we show that the primitive Earth during the Hadean may have satisfied all these requirements. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry.     

北京地区膳食摄入^232Th吸收入体液份额f1值的探讨

从北京地区公众成年人~(232)Th 的膳食日食入量,空气日吸入量,以及骨中~(232)Th 的沉积量出发,利用 ICRP 30号报告中参考人的代谢参数和内照射的库室模型,估算了北京地区公众成年人膳食摄入~(232)Th 后经胃肠道向体液转移份额 f_1值。结果表明,对于公众中成年人0.005是 f_1值的合适代表值,是 ICRP 30号报告推荐值 f_1=0.0002的25倍。虽然 ICRP 推荐值并不用于公众,但可以对群体有所了解;而北京地区从实测数据资料出发导出的 f_1值可能是更适于公众的。     

The influence of NaCl and CO2 on the atmospheric corrosion of magnesium alloy AZ91

The influence of NaCl and CO₂ on the atmospheric corrosion of magnesium alloy AZ91 is studied in the laboratory. Samples were exposed under carefully controlled air and flow conditions; the relative humidity was 95%, the temperature was 22.0°C and the concentration of CO₂ was < 1 ppm or 350 ppm. Different amounts of sodium chloride (0–70 μg/cm²) were added before exposure. The corrosion products were analyzed by gravimetry, ion chromatography, X‐ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Mass gain and metal loss results are reported. The combination of high humidity and NaCl is very corrosive towards AZ91. However, the NaCl‐induced corrosion is inhibited by ambient concentrations of CO₂. Exposure in the absence of CO₂ gives rise to heavy pitting, with brucite, Mg(OH)₂, being the dominant corrosion product. In the presence of CO₂ a layer of hydrated magnesium hydroxy carbonate, Mg₅(CO₃)₄(OH)₂ · 5 H₂O forms. A tentative corrosion mechanism is presented that explains the behavior in the two environments.     

PARASITIC TOLERANT DIFFERENTIAL SC TRANSCONDUCTANCE USING UNITY GAIN BUFFERS

The unity gain buffer will be good to design high frequency SCF if its resistiveeffects can be eliminated,and therefore the whole parasitic sensitivities will greatly be reduced.On the basis of this concept,a novel parasitic tolerant SC DTE(differential transconductanceelement)is proposed.SC floating inductor and integrator fit for high frequency applications areformed by the DTE.The computer simulation and experiment on a third order elliptic LP filterverify its validity.     

A new simplified two-dimensional model for the threshold voltage ofMOSFET's with nonuniformly doped substrate

A new simplified two-dimensional model for the threshold voltage of MOSFETs is derived in terms of simple characteristic functions. These characteristic functions are transformed from the exact series solution of the two-dimensional Poisson's equation, in which the effects of a nonuniformly doped substrate and a finite graded source-drain junction depth are included. In this model, charge-screening effects are proposed to account for the weak dependence of the threshold voltage on the substrate bias for short-channel MOSFETs, and exact source and drain boundary potentials can be approximated by their equivalent power functions. The accuracy of the simplified 2-D model is verified by 2-D numerical analysis. Moreover, comparisons between the simplified 2-D model and the experimental results are made, and good agreement is obtained for wide ranges of channel lengths, applied substrate, and drain biases
