A synthetical development approach for rehabilitation assistive smart product–service systems: A case study

Digital transformation (DT), the combination of information, computing, communication and connectivity technologies, which has triggered an effective upgrade of different aspects of market strategy, customer experience etc. Nowadays, rehabilitation assistive devices (RADs) are evolving to be more digital, intelligent and personalized. Digitalization and servitization have fostered to an emerging business model—the smart product–service system (Smart PSS). Therefore, DT of the RADs’ industry advocates not only the design of products and functions, the more important is the management of service processes and resource integration. With the increase in the elderly and disabled population, the requirement for RADs is becoming more urgent. However, research on Smart PSS for RAD is still limited. The rehabilitation assistive smart product–service systems (RASPSS) was introduced into the development of RADs based on the “Design and Management of DT” strategy through the service design of assistive devices and user requirements analysis. Further, an integrated design of RAD and Smart PSS has been created, a development method of RASPSS proposed, the theoretical model of the Smart PSS based on RADs built. To specify the service framework, this case study discusses the development of a home rehabilitation assistive system for femoral stem fracture patients. This paper evaluates the usability of the system, the results of which prove usability and effectiveness of the RASPSS development method. The RASPSS development model is designed to meet needs of stakeholders, improve the user rehabilitation experience, promote the service innovation of Smart PSS, bring certain market benefits of rehabilitation aids and create social value.     

Novel plug-configure-play ZigBee-based smart home system

The key purpose of a smart home system is to provide people with a better indoor life experience using the technology of Internet of Things. However, there are some limitations which make the current smart home system impractical, such as high cost, complex installation, poor flexibility and maintainability. In this paper, a novel plug-configure-play ZigBee-based smart home system is proposed to provide repeatable use and improve flexibility and maintainability with the reductions of cost and complexity, which can be customized and reconfigured without redevelopment. In this system, new sensors can be flexibly added through different interfaces on the ZigBee nodes and the sensor network layer is transparent to the users. Therefore, by using our method, users can customize and use the smart home system simply by configuring the sensors information via software on the application layer.     

基于智能家居的一致性模型融合技术研究

在智能家居的自适应软件设计中,往往采用传统的模块构建技术。但由于其适应逻辑存在着低复用性、高复杂度等问题,很难验证模块组合后的正确性及有效性。为了满足开发过程中用户的增量性需求,针对适应逻辑的组合难题,提出把部分行为模型的形式化方法引入到适应行为的描述中。通过三值逻辑KMTS模型描述语言,提出一致性模型的判断方法以及融合算法,以提供明确的适应模型在线融合支持。最后通过智能家居中的一个模型实例来分析并验证融合后的适应逻辑。

Cold gas dynamic manufacturing: A non-thermal approach to freeform fabrication

This paper reports on the development of a novel freeform fabrication technique using a cold spray (CS) system. In the CS process, metallic powder particles are accelerated in a supersonic gas jet and impacted with a substrate at speeds in excess of 600 m/s. The non-melting nature of its deposition mechanism ensures that the sprayed material is free from thermally induced tensile stresses, while the underlying substrate remains unchanged. The process is seen as a viable method for additive manufacturing because of its high deposition rates and controllable spray jet. A process was developed to investigate the potential of non-thermal freeform fabrication and was coined Cold Gas Dynamic Manufacturing (CGDM). Here, additive and subtractive techniques were combined to enable the production of complex geometries. Whereas most CS facilities concentrate on the application of wear or corrosion-resistant coatings, CGDM is dedicated to the production of freeform components, whilst still retaining an inherent coating ability. The process can produce functional forms using novel manufacturing strategies that are unique to CS. This paper presents information on the process, and details the various strategies employed during component fabrication. It was possible to construct components from many materials, including titanium, which exhibited freeform surfaces, internal channels and embedded devices. A breakdown of the process economics is also provided, with and without helium recycling.     

Er-doped SiO2–Al2O3 thin films prepared by the sol–gel route

The synthesis of homogeneous and pure silica–alumina binary glasses doped with rare-earth (RE) ions such as Er³⁺ is currently a key challenge for the development of integrated optics devices such as lasers, optical amplifiers or waveguides. In this study Er³⁺-doped SiO₂–Al₂O₃ films were prepared by the sol–gel route. Aluminium sec-butoxide, Al(O-sec-C₄H₉)₃ (ASB), and tetraethoxysilane, Si(OC₂H₅)₄ (TEOS), were used as glass oxide precursors, whereas erbium was introduced as Er(NO₃)₃. The alumina content in the silica matrix was 10 at.%, while erbium doping ranged between 200 and 5000 ppm. The preparation of the starting sol–gel solution and the layer deposition by a dip-coating procedure were performed in dry-box under nitrogen atmosphere. The obtained films were subsequently annealed in air between 300 and 1000 °C. After treatment at 500 °C, layers 200 nm thick were obtained. The composition, microstructure and surface morphology of the films were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), glancing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Crack-free, transparent, high purity films were obtained, characterised by compositional and microstructural homogeneity.     

Preparation of flee-standing diamond films for high frequency SAW devices

Free-standing diamond films were prepared by hot filament chemical vapor deposition （HFCVD） method under different conditions. Inter-digital transducers （IDTs） were formed on the nucleation sides of free-standing diamond films by photolithography technique. Then piezoelectric ZnO films were deposited by radio-frequency（RF） reactive magnetron sputtering to obtain the ZnO/diamond film structures. Surface morphologies of the nucleation sides and the IDTs were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, atomic force microscope （AFM） and optical microscopy. The results indicate that the surfaces of nucleation sides are very smooth and the IDTs are of high quality without discontinuity and short circuit phenomenon. Raman spectra show the sharp diamond feature peak at about 1 334 cmI and the small amount of non-diamond carbon in the nucleation side. X-ray diffraction （XRD） patterns of the structure of ZnO/diamond films show a strong diffraction peak of ZnO （002）, which indicates that as-sputtered ZnO films are highly c-axis oriented.
