The colloidal fiber was obtained by electrospinning the aqueous mixture of colloidal particles of poly(styrene-methyl methacrylate-acrylic acid) and poly(vinyl alcohol). The pattern was obtained by directly inkjet printing water onto the electrospun colloidal fiber. The pattern formation was attributed to the morphological transition of the colloidal fiber from the fiber aggregation to latex aggregation and the corresponding color change due to the dissolution of poly(vinyl alcohol) by water. Interestingly, a clear and clean image was successfully obtained on the ethanol-treated colloidal fibers film in comparison to a confused and blur image onto the freshly-made film. It is because the treatment process can compact the fiber structure and lower the spreading/wetting behavior of ink on the fiber structure, contributing to the formation of high-quality pattern. Various letters or quick response code were flexibly designed and printed on to colloidal fibers.Furthermore, the pattern can be easily transferred onto flexible substrate, i.e., a flexible printed bracelet. This work will be of great significance for the development of novel wearable functional materials/devices based on electrospun colloidal fibers.展开更多

Based on the large-deformation theory of elasticity, stress analysis of optical fiber free end has been made and balance equation of infinitesimal fiber is deduced, then deformation equation is derived by substituting terminal conditions. On condition that only axial tensile force exists, approximate curve equation has been built in small angle deformation scope. The comparison of tangent point longitudinal coordinate result between theory and approximation gives constant of integration, and expression with tangent point as origin of coordinate is readjusted. Analyzing the winding parameters of an example, it is clear that the horizontal distance from the highest point of wheel to fiber tangent point has millimeter order of magnitude and significant difference with fiber tension variation, and maintains invariant when wheel radius changes. The height of tension and accurate position of tangent point are defined for proper fiber guide. For application to fiber optic gyroscope, spiral-disc winding method and nonideal deformation of straddle section are analyzed, and then spiral-disc quadrupole pattern winding method has been introduced and realized by winding system. The winding results approve that the winding model is applicable.展开更多

AOC catalyzes the conversion ofallene oxide into 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA), a precursor of JA. Using 28K cotton genome array hybridization, an expressed sequence tag (EST; GenBank accession no. ES792958) was investigated that exhibited significant expression differences between lintless-fuzzless XinWX and linted-fuzzless XinFLM isogenic lines during fiber initiation stages. The EST was used to search the Gossypium EST database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) for corresponding cDNA sequences encoding full-length open reading frames (ORFs). Identified ORFs were confirmed using transcriptional and genomic data. As a result, a novel gene encoding AOC in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum AOC; GenBank accession no. KF383427) was cloned and characterized. The 741-bp GhAOC gene comprises three exons and two introns and encodes a polypeptide of 246 amino acids. Two homologous copies were identified in the tetraploid cotton species G. hirsutum acc. TM-1 and G. barbadense cv. Hai7124, and one copy in the diploid cotton species G. herbaceum and G. raimondii, qRT-PCR showed that the GhAOC transcript was abundant in cotton fiber tissues from 8 to 23 days post anthesis (DPA), and the expression profiles were similar in the two cultivated tetraploid cotton species G. hirsutum acc. TM- 1 and G. barbadense cv. Hai7124, with a higher level of transcription in the former. One copy of GhAOC in tetraploid cotton was localized to chromosome 24 (Chr. D8) using the subgenome-specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker analysis, which co-localized GhAOC to within 10 cM of a fiber strength quantitative trait locus (QTL) reported previously. GhAOC was highly correlated with fiber quality and strength (P=0.014) in an association analysis, suggesting a possible role in cotton fiber development, especially in secondary cell wall thickening.展开更多

A sliding-velocity.dependent friction coefficient on the contact behavior at the tire-pavement interface was selected to describe friction phenomenon for fire and road interface. Anti-lock brake system (ABS) process was achieved by controlling the tire angular velocity to obtain the relationship between friction force and slip rate, while the maximum friction forces were used to evaluate tire grip performance. Physical mechanism of tire grip performance was also analyzed through the frictional force generated from the adhesion region and sliding region by considering the contact differences between the longitudinal slip and the lateral slip, and the deformation characteristics of tire pattern were also investigated. In order to improve tire grip performance, carbon fiber material was added to the tread pattern grooves. The results show that carbon fiber has a significant influence on stiffness distribution of tread patterns and friction force vector in the contact zone. Tire grip performance can be improved by controlling the stiffness distribution and deformation direction of the tread pattern.展开更多

As far as the (9+2) topological patterns are concerned, the following propositions are proved: The (9+2) topological patterns accurately exist, but are not unique. Their total number is 9. Among them, only two are allotropes. In other words, among the nine topological patterns, only two are independent (or fundamental). Besides, we demonstrate that the (3, 9+2)-circle and (9+2, 3)-circle fractal sets are golden ones with symmetry breaking.展开更多

By the eye pattern of system, the transmission performances of system were studied. Results show that when polarization mode dispersion coefficient Dp is smaller than , the influence of the PMD on the transmission distance was neglectable. When the dispersion coefficient D is larger than 1.5 ps/km/nm, the transmission distance decreases rapidly. The positive or negative of three order group-velocity dispersion makes no differences on the system transmission.展开更多

The demodulation system for signal acquisition and high-speed wavelength calculation was designed based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) platform. The principle of ultra-weak fiber Bragg grating high-speed demodulation and signal recognition method were analyzed theoretically, and the Support Vector Machine model was introduced to optimize the event recognition accuracy of the system. A perimeter security experimental system containing 1000 ultra-weak fiber Bragg gratings, ultra-weak fiber Bragg grating sense optical cables with a diameter of 2.0 mm and a reflectivity of 0.01%, steel space frames and demodulation equipments was built to recognize four typical events such as knocking, shaking, wind blowing and rainfall. The experimental resulted show that the system has a spatial resolution of 1m and an acquisition frequency of 200 Hz. The joint time-frequency domain detection method is used to achieve 99.2% alarm accuracy, and 98% recognition accuracy of two intrusion events, which has good anti-interference performance.展开更多
