Layered Li0.7[M1/6Mn5/6]O2 (M=Li, Ni) was synthesized using a sol-gel method. P2-Na0.7[M1/6Mn5/6]O2 precursor was first synthesized by a sol-gel method, and then O2-Li0.7[M1/6Mn5/6]O2 was prepared by an ion exchange of Li for Na in P2-Na0.7[M1/6Mn5/6]O2 precursor. From charge/discharge curves, it was seen that Li0.7[Li1/6Mn5/6]O2 has two plateaus similar to those observed from a spinel structure, but Li0.7[Ni1/6Mn5/6]O2 holds a single plateau as observed from a typical layered structure. It was considered that Li0.7[Li1/6Mn5/6]O2 undergoes a phase transformation from layered to spinel structure during the charge/discharge cycle, but Li0.7[Ni1/6Mn5/6]O2 maintains O2-layered structure after the cycles. Li0.7[Ni1/6Mn5/6]O2 was higher in discharge capacity and retention rate than Li0.7[Li1/6Mn5/6]O2. 相似文献
Abstract— Recently, potential breakthrough technologies for low‐cost processing of TFT‐LCDs and new process developments for flexible‐display fabrication have been widely studied. A roll‐printing process using etch‐resist material as a replacement for photolithographic patterning was investigated. The characterization of the properties of patterns formed in roll printing, a method to fabricate cliché plates for fine patterns, and the design of a new formulation for resist printing ink is reported. The pattern position accuracy, which is one of the most important issues for the successful application of printing processes in display manufacturing was studied and how it can be improved by optimizing the blanket roll structure is explained. New design rules for the layout of the thin‐film‐transistor array was derived to improve the compatibility of roll printing. As a result, a prototype 15‐in.‐XGA TFT‐LCD panel was fabricated by using printing processes to replace all the photolithographic patterning steps conventionally used. 相似文献
We have designed an auditory guidance system for the blind using ultrasonic-to-audio signal transformation. We first investigated
the system requirements, and designed a simple but useful portable guidance system for the blind. The system derives visual
information using multiple ultrasonic sensors, and transforms it to binaural auditory information using a suitable technique.
The user can recognize the position of obstacles and the surrounding environment. The system is composed of two parts. One
is a glasses-type system, and the other is a cane-type system with guide wheels. The former functions as an environment sensor,
and the latter functions as a clear-path indicator. Wide-beam-angle ultrasonic sensors are used to detect bojects over a broader
range. The system is designed as a battery-supplied portable model. Our design is focused on low power consumption, small
size, light weight, and easy manipulation. 相似文献
A minimum-energy cornering trajectory planning with self-rotation algorithm is investigated for three-wheeled omni-directional mobile robots (TOMRs). First, an generalized minimum-energy point-to-point trajectory planning algorithm is studied, which is obtained using Pontryagin’s minimum principle, a practical cost function as the energy drawn from the batteries to motors, and the accurate TOMR dynamic model including actuator dynamics and the Coriolis force. By analyzing the co-state equation, the minimum-energy rotational velocity trajectory is presented in analytic form. Also a novel algorithm for the minimum-energy translational velocity trajectory is investigated. Second, the minimum-energy cornering trajectory planning algorithm with self-rotation is developed. Simulation results show that the minimum-energy cornering trajectory can save energy up to 15.20%compared with the conventional control using trapezoidal velocity profiles, and up to 3.96 % compared with the loss-minimization control using the armature loss as the cost function. Also a resolved-acceleration controller is implemented to show an actual performance.
In a previous study, a new hybrid system of molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) and homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine was developed, where the HCCI engine replaces the catalytic burner and produces additional power by using the left-over heating values from the fuel cell stack. In the present study, to reduce the additional cost and footprint of the engine system in a hybrid configuration, the possibility of engine downsizing is investigated by using two strategies, i.e. the use of a turbocharger and the use of high geometric compression ratio for the engine design, both of which are to increase the density of the intake charge and thus the volumetric efficiency of the engine. Combining these two strategies, we suggest a new engine design with ∼60% of displacement volume of the original engine. In addition, operating strategies are developed to run the new hybrid system under part load conditions. It is successfully demonstrated that the system can operate down to 65% of the power level of the design point, while the system efficiency remains almost unchanged near 63%. 相似文献
We report a copper hexadecafluorophthalocyanine (F16CuPc) based n-type organic field-effect transistor (OFET) with polymeric gate dielectrics with different physical/electrical properties. The gate dielectrics are four types of cross-linked poly(4-vinylphenol) and newly prepared poly(4-phenoxy methyl styrene) and those are characterized based on surface tension, leakage current and capacitance. The performance of F16CuPc OFETs with those gate dielectrics was compared. We found that the composition of the gate dielectrics and the interfacial interaction of F16CuPc with the gate dielectric play a decisive role in the performance of OFETs. The effect of physical/electrical properties, composition and processing condition of the gate dielectrics on the device performance was investigated. 相似文献
