Recently, people have begun to realize the importance of child‐resistant (CR) medicine packaging. However, most manufacturers and designers have not been able to effectively provide prevention strategies or design criteria to protect consumers. This research proposes a systematic approach to analyze CR packaging design problems and experiments to evaluate the identified design parameters and to generate the most suitable CR medicine packaging design. The design of a CR packaging bottle is used as an example to help explain the development procedure. During the development procedure, user trials, questionnaires, and children's anthropometric data on bottle opening and hand operations are analyzed. Five design parameters, specifically the cap diameter, cap height, bottle height, bottle diameter, and torsion, are identified and used to perform a Taguchi orthogonal array experimental analysis. A computer‐aided design system is also built to help generate the most suitable design alternatives. The results should assist designers in determining the most important CR design parameters and their most suitable combinations for bottle and related CR medicine packaging design. 相似文献
With the advancement of Internet technology, online shopping has emerged as a popular way of making purchases. However, because online shopping does not allow immediate enjoyment of purchases as bricks-and-mortar shops do, cultivating customers' trust in online businesses is especially important in attracting return customers. Previous studies have put forward the factors that build multidimensional trust but not systematically examined them. This article reexamines factors of building customer trust and makes a systematic study of the relationship between customers' perceived waiting and repurchase intention. This study examines online stores' professional ability, integrity, and benevolence were selected as the three constructing factors of trust. A total of 351 valid customer questionnaires were collected and analyzed using structural equation modeling. It was found that the most influential factor in customer trust was the security of the online business' information system, followed by the privacy protection, whereas the third-party guarantees and recommendation exhibited the third strongest correlation. Furthermore, the perceived waiting was a significant factor affecting customers' decision to return, notwithstanding their trust in an online business. 相似文献
An iteration algorithm for the analysis of speckle interference patterns is presented. First, four digitized phase-shifted patterns are locally averaged. The phase information is then extracted by the usual phase shift algorithm. The wrapped phase is in turn used to reconstruct four new phase-shifted patterns. These three steps form a cycle. Repetition of the three steps has a great effect on suppressing speckle noise. Theoretical study shows that the iterated phase converges to a perfect result under ideal conditions. In general, the iteration causes little error but improves the phase information a great deal. The signal-to-noise ratio rises when additional iterations are performed. 相似文献
The interaction of Al-1 wt% Si with a W-Ti barrier layer in the Al/Ti3W7/SiO2/Si system was studied over the temperature range of 400–500 °C for reaction times up to 300 h. The interaction was found to be diffusion-controlled, and to occur in a layer-by-layer fashion. The first reaction product is always Al12W, which forms at the Al/Ti3W7 interface. With excess W in the system, Al will eventually be completely converted to Al12W, and further interactions result in the formation of an Al4W layer at the Al12W/Ti3W7 interface. The amount of Al4W increases at the expense of Al12W. Ti plays a minor role in the interaction and forms a small amount of Al3Ti precipitates in the Al12W matrix. Decomposition of the Ti3W7 pseudoalloy into W and Ti phases is not significant, and is not detected by X-ray diffraction even after annealing at 500 °C for 300 h. The kinetics of the Al12W formation follows a parabolic reaction law with an activation energy of 2.53 eV. The sheet resistance of the film is insensitive to compound formation as long as a continuous Al film exists in the system. The sheet resistance increases dramatically when Al is consumed to the extent that it is no longer a continuous film. The sheet resistance of the Al12W layer is estimated to be 570 m –1. 相似文献
Computer integrated manufacturing uses computer technology to integrate a manufacturing system through a man-machine interface that fills the gap between manual operation and machine processes. It is clear that a computer vision-based man-machine interface makes a fully automated system possible. The basic challenge of a vision-based interface is how to extract information from digitized images and convert it to machine-friendly knowledge. To extract information, then, it often end up to the problem of shape decomposition. This paper proposes an new approach in decomposing compound shapes without prior knowledge of the scene. The proposed algorithm exploits the fact that planar shapes can be completely described by contour segments, and can be decomposed at their maximum concavity into simpler objects. To reduce spurious decomposition, the decomposed segments are merged into groups by analyzing and utilizing the merging hypotheses. The algorithm calculates the linking possibility by weighting the angular differentiation between two segments. The techniques are implemented and are applied to other partial shape matching problems for clustering purposes. 相似文献
Development of artificial mechanoreceptors capable of sensing and pre-processing external mechanical stimuli is a crucial step toward constructing neuromorphic perception systems that can learn and store information. Here, bio-inspired artificial fast-adaptive (FA) and slow-adaptive (SA) mechanoreceptors with synapse-like functions are demonstrated for tactile perception. These mechanoreceptors integrate self-powered piezoelectric pressure sensors with synaptic electrolyte-gated field-effect transistors (EGFETs) featuring a reduced graphene oxide channel. The FA pressure sensor is based on a piezoelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) thin film, while the SA pressure sensor is enabled by a piezoelectric ionogel with the piezoelectric-ionic coupling effect based on P(VDF-TrFE) and an ionic liquid. Changes in post-synaptic current are achieved through the synaptic effect of the EGFET by regulating the amplitude, number, duration, and frequency of tactile stimuli (pre-synaptic pulses). These devices have great potential to serve as artificial biological mechanoreceptors for future artificial neuromorphic perception systems. 相似文献
Action recognition based on a human skeleton is an extremely challenging research problem. The temporal information contained in the human skeleton is more difficult to extract than the spatial information. Many researchers focus on graph convolution networks and apply them to action recognition. In this study, an action recognition method based on a two-stream network called RNXt-GCN is proposed on the basis of the Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (ST-GCN). The human skeleton is converted first into a spatial-temporal graph and a SkeleMotion image which are input into ST-GCN and ResNeXt, respectively, for performing the spatial-temporal convolution. The convolved features are then fused. The proposed method models the temporal information in action from the amplitude and direction of the action and addresses the shortcomings of isolated temporal information in the ST-GCN. The experiments are comprehensively performed on the four datasets: 1) UTD-MHAD, 2) Northwestern-UCLA, 3) NTU RGB-D 60, and 4) NTU RGB-D 120. The proposed model shows very competitive results compared with other models in our experiments. On the experiments of NTU RGB?+?D 120 dataset, our proposed model outperforms those of the state-of-the-art two-stream models.
