摘要:
High-entropy ultra-high temperature ceramics (HE-UHTC) coatings deposited on substrates, as well methods for depositing the HE-UHTC coatings on the substrates, are provided. An HE-UHTC electrode can be fabricated via spark plasma sintering (SPS) and then a thin coating of the HE-UHTC can be deposited in a precision-controlled manner on a substrate via an electro-spark deposition process.

A power factor controller is disclosed, in which error feedback is provided my means of a parallel combination of at least two error feedback channels. By providing at least two error feedback channels, the stability associated with, for instance, a continuously integrated feedback loop with relatively long time constant, may be combined with a fast transient response associated with, for instance, a sample-and-hold error feedback.A method of operating such a power factor controller is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a plant simulation decorative cloth/mesh, comprising a cloth or mesh, the simulation plant on one or both sides of the cloth or mesh being sewn to the cloth or mesh. Advantages: (1) The present invention creates a precedent for the stereoscopic plant simulation cloth/mesh, expanding the applications and uses of the cloth; 2. the present invention not only can decorate a variety of body surface with a stereoscopic sense, but also achieves a stereoscopic simulation greening and shading effect of the city, home, garden, roofing, garage, seaside resort and specific places, creating a decorative effect with green leaves, flowers and fruits; 3. the present invention not only enjoys high manufacturing efficiency, low cost, and convenient transport by folding, but also avoids the phenomenon that the green leaves, flowers and fruits come off at their roots from the cloth or mesh because of the reliable flexibility and folding performance of the cloth/mesh used for connection of the green leaves, flowers and fruits, resulting no environmental pollution, characterized by firm and reliable connection, both beautifying the environment and achieving the sun-shading purpose.

The present invention relates to a device and method for driving an under damped voice coil motor (VCM) actuator of a camera lens. In one embodiment, the device for driving an under damped VCM actuator comprises a first generator operable to read a first manufacture data from an image signal processor (ISP) and to generate a half natural period, ½ Td, of the VCM actuator by selecting a value approximate to the first data in a first table of the device, a second generator operable to read a second manufacture data from the ISP and to generate the maximum overshoot, K, of the VCM actuator by selecting a value approximate to the second data in a second table of the device, an input shaping signal generator operable to read an input signal corresponding to a desired camera lens moving distance from the ISP and to generate a shaping signal according to the value of the half natural period and the maximum overshoot. The input shaping signal may be produced from second order, third order and fourth order input shaping function. The present invention also provides a simple implementation of a driver configuration to achieve a fast camera lens focus speed, yet robust to tolerate actual system deviation from a manufacture design.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for powering and/or recharging medical devices implanted within the body are described. An illustrative power generation module disposable within the interior space of an implantable medical device includes a module body that defines an interior cavity as well as a flexible diaphragm that spans the interior cavity. The flexible diaphragm includes a first electrical conductor, a piezoelectric layer disposed adjacent to the first electrical conductor, and a second electrical conductor disposed adjacent to the piezoelectric layer. The piezoelectric layer is configured to displace within the interior cavity and generate a voltage differential between the first electrical conductor and the second electrical conductor.

The present invention is directed to a system and method which base stations send informational messages to neighbor base stations when conditions change, so that the neighbor base stations can update its database to keep itself current on the parameters (including availability, traffic load, modulation scheme, etc.) to use in effecting efficient base station to base station handoffs. In one embodiment, the receiving base station marks the time of the received message from a neighbor base station and if a new updated message is not received within a time window then the receiving base station assumes that there is a problem with that neighbor.

A robotic manipulator for clamping a workpiece includes a power source, a first rotary member, and a clamping mechanism. The first rotary member is connected to and rotated by the power source. The clamping mechanism is non-rotatably connected to the first rotary member and includes a first clamping member and a second clamping member capable of coupling to and decoupling from the first clamping member. The first clamping member and the second clamping member are coupled to each other. A receptacle is defined between the first clamping member and the second clamping member to receive the workpiece. The receptacle has a shape and size substantially the same as the workpiece.
摘要:
An energy converter is disclosed in which self oscillation mode operation is improved by a closed loop feedback control. The feedback control utilizes the voltage error from the voltage valley in the drain voltage (Vdrain) of the converter switch (1), to determine an error (E(n)) in the time domain. Control circuitry (61, 62, 63) is used to minimize this time-domain error (E(n)) to optimize the control of the switch mode converter.

Hydrogen is stored by adsorbing the hydrogen to a carbon nanomaterial that includes carbon nanospheres. The carbon nanospheres are multi-walled, hollow carbon nanostructures with a maximum diameter in a range from about 10 nm to about 200 nm. The nanospheres have an irregular outer surface with graphitic defects and an aspect ratio of less than 3:1. The carbon nanospheres can store hydrogen in quantities of at least 1.0% by weight.

Carbon nanostructures are formed from a carbon precursor and catalytic templating nanoparticles and are treated with a severe oxidative agent to introduce oxygen-containing functional groups to the surface of the graphitic material. Methods for manufacturing carbon nanostructures generally include (1) forming a precursor mixture that includes a carbon precursor and a plurality of catalytic templating particles, (2) carbonizing the precursor mixture to form an intermediate carbon material including carbon nanostructures, amorphous carbon, and catalytic metal, (3) purifying the intermediate carbon material by removing at least a portion of the amorphous carbon and optionally at least a portion of the catalytic metal, and (4) treating the intermediate carbon material with a severe oxidative treatment to increase surface functionalization. Examples of oxidative treatments include (i) a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, (ii) a solution of hydrogen peroxide, or (iii) a mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide.
