Design of intention-based assistive robot for upper limb

Robotic assistive devices for rehabilitation have proven to be beneficial for many individuals with impaired limbs by providing accessible, consistent and cost-effective therapy. However, it is important to acknowledge that many people need an alternative form of assistance for physical impairments, both while undergoing rehabilitation and in the common scenario of rehabilitation providing insufficient improvements. The aim of this paper is to present an intention-detecting assistive robot for upper limb motion, which may serve as a complement to rehabilitation procedures. The proposed system collects real-time data from an eye-tracker and force-sensing resistors to determine the intended movement of the arm of a user and physically assists the said movement. We show that the system is capable of moving an impaired upper limb to a desired position with average errors of less than 5 cm, and in this manner may assist motion required by various activities of daily living for someone suffering from physical impairments in their upper limbs.     

Al3 掺杂对LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4材料性能的影响

制备了不同Al~(3+)掺杂量(x)的Li_(1+x)Al_xNi_(0.5)Mn_(1.5–x)O_4(LNMO)材料,通过XRD、SEM等对LNMO材料的结构进行了表征,通过CV测试、交流阻抗谱测试等方法测定了材料的电化学性能,讨论了Al~(3+)的掺杂量对材料结构和性能的影响。结果表明,适当的Al~(3+)掺杂会提高材料的结构稳定性及循环、倍率性能。当x=0.06时改性效果最好,在0.5和2.0 C下循环100次的容量保持率分别达到95.2%和90.0%。而且氧化还原峰的电势差较小,循环可逆性能最好。在该基础上,通过聚合物辅助法制备的样品由于{111}晶面族取向性更强,进一步提升了循环性能,0.5和2.0 C下循环100次容量保持率分别达到97.1%和93.0%。     

Regenerating titanium ventricular assist device surfaces after gold/palladium coating for scanning electron microscopy

Titanium is one of the most commonly used materials for implantable devices in humans. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) serves as an important tool for imaging titanium surfaces and analyzing cells and other organic matter adhering to titanium implants. However, high‐vacuum SEM imaging of a nonconductive sample requires a conductive coating on the surface. A gold/palladium coating is commonly used and to date no method has been described to “clean” such gold/palladium covered surfaces for repeated experiments without etching the titanium itself. This constitutes a major problem with titanium‐based implantable devices which are very expensive and thus in short supply. Our objective was to devise a protocol to regenerate titaniumsurfaces after SEM analysis. In a series of experiments, titanium samples from implantable cardiac assist devices were coated with fibronectin, seeded with cells and then coated with gold/palladium for SEM analysis. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra were obtained before and after five different cleaning protocols. Treatment with aqua regia (a 1:3 solution of concentrated nitric and hydrochloric acid), with or without ozonolysis, followed by sonication in soap solution and sonication in deionized water, allowed regenerating titanium surfaces to their original state. Atomic force microscopy confirmed that the established protocol did not alter the titanium microstructure. The protocol described herein is applicable to almost all titanium surfaces used in biomedical sciences and because of its short exposure time to aqua regia, will likely work for many titanium alloys as well.

一种MIMO-OFDM信道混合估计方法

传统的信道估计方法往往假设多径分量数已知且为常数,粒子滤波算法可估计服从高斯分布的时变信道。实际无线环境中,多径分量数目与幅度皆为时变,则粒子滤波估计方法性能恶化。本文提出基于二进制粒子群算法和卡尔曼滤波的MIMO-OFDM信道混合估计方法。采用随机集建模MIMO信道,并分析得到其多径转移概率模型;基于此模型将信道分解为离散部分和连续部分,推导得到此两部分与整体信道关系;采用二进制粒子群算法拟合信道离散部分,利用卡尔曼滤波估计信道幅度,将利用信道估计计算得到的观测值与真实观测值的近似程度作为适应度函数。仿真结果表明:本文所提出的信道估计方法性能优于基本粒子滤波的信道估计方法。

Disseminating a Smokeless Tobacco Cessation Intervention Model to Dental Hygienists: A Randomized Comparison of Personalized Instruction and Self-Study Methods.

This study evaluated 2 methods of disseminating an empirically validated smokeless tobacco intervention delivered during routine dental care. Twenty cities within 12 states were stratified and then randomized to 1 of 3 groups: personalized instruction (PI), self-study (SS), or delayed training (DT) control. Dental hygienists in the SS condition were sent a manual and video. Those in the PI condition were recruited to attend a workshop. Thirty-seven percent of eligible hygienists agreed to participate. At 12 months postenrollment, hygienists in the SS and PI conditions significantly increased their "Assist" behaviors (discuss cessation techniques, help patient set a quit date, and provide cessation materials) and reported fewer perceived barriers to delivering the intervention as compared with hygienists in DT. An economic analysis suggests that SS is more cost-effective than PI. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
