文摘While laser surface texturing(LST)is a promising manufacturing technique for surface functionalization,simultaneously realizing high precision and high efficiency in the LST of complex curved surface is challenging,due to continuously varied geometries of laser-matter incidence.In the present work,we propose a novel manufacturing system of 7-axis on-the-fly LST for complex curved surface,based on the integrated synchronization of 5-axis linkage motion platform with 2-axis galvanometer.Specifically,the algorithm for decomposing spatial texture trajectory on curved surface into low-frequency and high-frequency parts is established,based on which the kinematic model of synchronized 7-axis system is developed to derive the motion of each axis in both 5-axis linkage motion platform and 2-axis galvanometer simultaneously.Subsequently,the synchronized 7-axis LST system is experimentally realized,including the setup of mechanical stages integrated with optical path,the configuration of numerical control unit,and the development of processing software.Finally,case study of 7-axis on-the-fly LST of freeform aluminum surface is performed,and the advantages in terms of processing efficiency and texturing accuracy over 5-axis linkage LST are demonstrated.The correlation of reduced following errors between mechanical stages with the promoted performance of curved surface texturing by the 7-axis on-the-fly LST is further analyzed.Current work provides a feasible solution for establishing the manufacturing system for high performance LST of complex curved surface.
文摘Objective:Interpersonal brain synchronization(IBS)has emerged as a significant concept in understanding collaborative team dynamics,with functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS)proving to be a vital tool in its assessment.This review aims to collate and analyze the literature on the application of fNIRS in various team settings,emphasizing its potential utility in surgical environments.Methods:A thorough search and screening process across multiple databases resulted in 17 studies being reviewed,with a focus on the utilization of fNIRS to measure IBS in different collaborative tasks.This review examined the tasks employed,participant demographics,organizational structures of teams,methodologies for IBS measurement,and correlations between brain synchronization and behavioral measurements.Results:fNIRS emerged as a non-invasive,cost-effective,and portable tool,predominantly used to assess IBS in pair-based tasks with a variety of participant demographics.Wavelet transform coherence was the primary method used for measuring synchronization,particularly in the prefrontal brain region.A consistent correlation was found between increased brain synchronization and enhanced team performance,underscoring the potential of fNIRS in understanding and optimizing team dynamics.Conclusion:This review establishes fNIRS as a promising tool for investigating the neural mechanisms underlying team cooperation,providing invaluable insights for potential applications in surgical settings.While acknowledging the limitations in the current literature,the review highlights the need for further research with larger sample sizes and varied task complexities to solidify the understanding of IBS and its impact on team performance.The ultimate goal is to leverage fNIRS in assessing and improving surgical team dynamics,contributing to improved patient outcomes and safety.

文摘This study proposes a novel time-synchronization protocol inspired by stochastic gradient algorithms.The clock model of each network node in this synchronizer is configured as a generic adaptive filter where different stochastic gradient algorithms can be adopted for adaptive clock frequency adjustments.The study analyzes the pairwise synchronization behavior of the protocol and proves the generalized convergence of the synchronization error and clock frequency.A novel closed-form expression is also derived for a generalized asymptotic error variance steady state.Steady and convergence analyses are then presented for the synchronization,with frequency adaptations done using least mean square(LMS),the Newton search,the gradient descent(GraDes),the normalized LMS(N-LMS),and the Sign-Data LMS algorithms.Results obtained from real-time experiments showed a better performance of our protocols as compared to the Average Proportional-Integral Synchronization Protocol(AvgPISync)regarding the impact of quantization error on synchronization accuracy,precision,and convergence time.This generalized approach to time synchronization allows flexibility in selecting a suitable protocol for different wireless sensor network applications.

文摘This paper study the finite time internal synchronization and the external synchronization(hybrid synchronization)for duplex heterogeneous complex networks by time-varying intermittent control.There few study hybrid synchronization of heterogeneous duplex complex networks.Therefore,we study the finite time hybrid synchronization of heterogeneous duplex networks,which employs the time-varying intermittent control to drive the duplex heterogeneous complex networks to achieve hybrid synchronization in finite time.To be specific,the switch frequency of the controllers can be changed with time by devise Lyapunov function and boundary function,the internal synchronization and external synchronization are achieved simultaneously in finite time.Finally,numerical examples are presented to illustrate the validness of theoretical results.

文摘Neural synchronization is associated with various brain disorders,making it essential to investigate the intrinsic factors that influence the synchronization of coupled neural networks.In this paper,we propose a minimal architecture as a prototype,consisting of two bi-neuron Hopfield neural networks(HNNs)coupled via a memristor.This coupling elevates the original two bi-neuron HNNs into a five-dimensional system,featuring an unstable line equilibrium set and rich dynamics absent in the uncoupled case.Our results show that varying the coupling strength and the initial state of the memristor can induce periodic,chaotic,hyperchaotic,and quasi-periodic oscillations,as well as initial-offset-regulated multistability.We derive sufficient conditions for achieving exponential synchronization and identify multiple synchronous regimes with transitions that strongly depend on the initial states.Field-programmable gate array(FPGA)implementation confirms the predicted dynamics and synchronization in real time,demonstrating that the memristive coupler enables complex dynamics and controllable synchronization in the most compact Hopfield architecture,with implications for the study of neuromorphic circuits and synchronization.
