Output chattering attenuation between two tracking controllers

In this paper, an output chattering attenuation scheme is proposed for two tracking controllers. The controllers have integral actions and are used to eliminate the steady-state tracking errors. By designing a compensator and reducing the discontinuous switching, the output chattering at the switching points can be attenuated significantly. Moreover, combining with the generalized Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (KYP) lemma and the parameter-dependent Lyapunov function method, this problem can be characterized in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

未知环境下机器人障碍物检测技术

未知环境下地面的不平坦性和机器人相对障碍物位姿的不确定性会造成障碍物特征提取困难,为了准确检测障碍物特征,采用3维相机获取机器人周围环境的灰度图像和距离信息。在此基础上,提出基于灰度信息和3维信息的"阈值法"进行障碍物区域的提取,并针对3维信息"阈值法"剔除的地面与障碍物过渡区域过多,以及机器人相对斜坡方位的不确定性引起的障碍物特征检测不准确,提出区域的恢复算法和表面法线坡度计算。实验结果表明,所提出的算法具有简单、有效、准确和鲁棒性强的优点。

Cardiac Oxidative Signaling and Physiological Hypertrophy in the Na/K-ATPase α1s/sα2s/s Mouse Model of High Affinity for Cardiotonic Steroids

The Na/K-ATPase is the specific receptor for cardiotonic steroids (CTS) such as ouabain and digoxin. At pharmacological concentrations used in the treatment of cardiac conditions, CTS inhibit the ion-pumping function of Na/K-ATPase. At much lower concentrations, in the range of those reported for endogenous CTS in the blood, they stimulate hypertrophic growth of cultured cardiac myocytes through initiation of a Na/K-ATPase-mediated and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent signaling. To examine a possible effect of endogenous concentrations of CTS on cardiac structure and function in vivo, we compared mice expressing the naturally resistant Na/K-ATPase α1 and age-matched mice genetically engineered to express a mutated Na/K-ATPase α1 with high affinity for CTS. In this model, total cardiac Na/K-ATPase activity, α1, α2, and β1 protein content remained unchanged, and the cardiac Na/K-ATPase dose–response curve to ouabain shifted to the left as expected. In males aged 3–6 months, increased α1 sensitivity to CTS resulted in a significant increase in cardiac carbonylated protein content, suggesting that ROS production was elevated. A moderate but significant increase of about 15% of the heart-weight-to-tibia-length ratio accompanied by an increase in the myocyte cross-sectional area was detected. Echocardiographic analyses did not reveal any change in cardiac function, and there was no fibrosis or re-expression of the fetal gene program. RNA sequencing analysis indicated that pathways related to energy metabolism were upregulated, while those related to extracellular matrix organization were downregulated. Consistent with a functional role of the latter, an angiotensin-II challenge that triggered fibrosis in the α1^r/rα2^s/s mouse failed to do so in the α1^s/sα2^s/s. Taken together, these results are indicative of a link between circulating CTS, Na/K-ATPase α1, ROS, and physiological cardiac hypertrophy in mice under baseline laboratory conditions.     

Influences of mullite fibers on mechanical and thermal properties of silica-based ceramic cores

Mullite fibers composite silica-based ceramic cores were successfully prepared by injection molding. The effects of mullite fibers on the mechanical and thermal properties of ceramic cores were investigated. The results indicated that the linear shrinkage was significantly decreased and the porosity was gradually increased with the increase of mullite fibers. In addition, the flexural strength for the room temperature and the simulated casting temperature of 1500°C was increased to a maximum value when the content of mullite fibers was about 1 wt.%, and then decreased with the increase of mullite fibers. The mullite fibers of 1 wt.% presented excellent mechanical properties with a linear shrinkage of .65%, a porosity of 6.96%, and a flexural strength of 17 MPa at room temperature and 34.83 MPa at the simulated casting temperature of 1500°C. Besides, the change in microstructure and properties in various contents of mullite fibers were analyzed.
