The target image is obtained using double cameras with coaxial optical path. Since there is imaging optical path difference between the cameras, the images are different. In comparison of the image differences, the target range could be reversed. The principle of the ranging method and the ranging model are described. The relationship among parameters in the ranging process is analyzed quantitatively. Meanwhile,the system composition and technical realization scheme are also presented. Also, the principle of the method is verified by the equivalent experiment. The experimental results show that the design scheme is correct and feasible with good robustness. Generally, the ranging error is less than 10% with good convergence. The optical path is designed in a re-entrant mode to reduce the volume and weight of the system. Through the coaxial design,the visual passive range of the targets with any posture can be obtained in real time. The system can be widely used in electro-optical countermeasure and concealed photoelectric detection.展开更多

In addition, we have deeply investigated the real-time spectral evolutions of the mode-locked pulses through the dispersive Fourier transformation(DFT) technique. It can be found that the pulse regime can actually consist of a lot of small noise pulses with randomly varying intensities. We believe that these results will further enrich the nonlinear dynamical processes in the ultrafast lasers.展开更多

Like many low phase noise oscillators, a cavity magnonic oscillator faces the challenge that its narrow resonance profile is not well suited for injection locking amplification. This work presents an improved design for such an oscillator configured as an injection locking amplifier(ILA) with an extended lock range. The proposed design features a two-stage architecture, consisting of a pre-amplification oscillator and a cavity magnonic oscillator, separated by an isolator to prevent backward locking.By optimizing the circuit parameters of each stage, the proposed design achieved an order of magnitude increase in lock range, when compared to its predecessors, all while preserving the phase noise quality of the input, making it well-suited for narrowband, sensitive signal amplification. Furthermore, this work provides a method for using oscillators with high spectral purity as injection locking amplifiers.展开更多

文摘The spatial constraints of aircraft have accelerated the development of multi-wing deployable mechanisms.These systems enable the rapid,sub-second deployment of multiple folding wings,which generate high-energy impacts upon locking-resulting in oscillations that can adversely affect aerodynamic performance.Despite their importance,the transient dynamic characteristics during deployment and locking remain insufficiently explored.This study presents an integrated dynamic model for a single-actuator,multi-wing deployable mechanism that accounts for joint clearances,component elasticity,and locking collisions.This model is used to analyze the influence of transient driving on the motion errors of multiple folding wings,the locking oscillation amplitude,and the complete stabilization time.Results indicate that as the driving force and transient deployment speed increase,all dynamic performance characteristics are notably affected.Specifically,raising the transient driving force from 3000 to 7000 N leads to a maximum increase of 60.8%in oscillation amplitude and 78.4%in stabilization time.By comparing the results of the prototype experiment with the theoretical model,it is found that the errors of the maximum locking oscillation amplitude and the complete stabilization time for the three groups of folding wings are all within the acceptable range,which verifies the theoretical model.These findings advance the theoretical understanding of transient deployment dynamics and locking oscillations in high-speed deployable mechanisms.

文摘A cavity magnonic oscillator uses the coupling of a planar transmission line oscillator(cavity) and spin excitations(magnons) in a ferrimagnetic material to achieve superior frequency stability and reduced phase noise. Like many low phase noise oscillators, a cavity magnonic oscillator faces the challenge that its narrow resonance profile is not well suited for injection locking amplification. This work presents an improved design for such an oscillator configured as an injection locking amplifier(ILA) with an extended lock range. The proposed design features a two-stage architecture, consisting of a pre-amplification oscillator and a cavity magnonic oscillator, separated by an isolator to prevent backward locking.By optimizing the circuit parameters of each stage, the proposed design achieved an order of magnitude increase in lock range, when compared to its predecessors, all while preserving the phase noise quality of the input, making it well-suited for narrowband, sensitive signal amplification. Furthermore, this work provides a method for using oscillators with high spectral purity as injection locking amplifiers.

文摘As a major fault in the northeastern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau,the Haiyuan fault zone is important for understanding the regional deformation.Aiming at the differences in the slip rate and locking degree obtained from different studies,this study constructs a refined block model(including Qilian,Alxa,Ordos,Xining,Haiyuan,and Lanzhou blocks)and uses the grid search and simulated annealing methods to invert GPS data for slip rate and locking degree of the Haiyuan fault zone.The results are as follows:(1)The sinistral slip rates in the western,middle,and eastern segments are 4.93-5.22 mm/a,1.52-4.94 mm/a,and 0.43-1.18 mm/a,decreasing eastward on the whole,while the compression rates are 0.45-1.26 mm/a,0.58-2.62 mm/a,and3.52-4.48 mm/a,increasing eastward on the whole.(2)The locking depth of the western segment increases from about 5 km to about 20 km eastward;the middle segment decreases and then increases eastward;the eastern segment concentrates at about 20 km(PHI is about 0.86).(3)The slip deficit is relatively higher in the Lenglongling,Jinqianghe,Maomaoshan,and Liupanshan faults(averaging about 3.42 mm/a,4.16 mm/a,4.23 mm/a,and 3.43 mm/a within 20 km).(4)The Qilian,Alxa,Xining,Lanzhou,and Haiyuan blocks rotate clockwise,while the Ordos block rotates counterclockwise.Additionally,by comparing different block models,the Haiyuan block should be considered independently.The Haiyuan fault zone adjusts surrounding block movements and uplifts Liupanshan mountain tectonically.The results can provide important references for understanding the regional earthquake risk and deformation mechanism.

文摘Rubber-like materials that are commonly used in structural applications are modelled using hyperelastic material models.Most of the hyperelastic materials are nearly incompressible,which poses challenges,i.e.,volumetric locking during numerical modelling.There exist many formulations in the context of the finite element method,among which the mixed displacementpressure formulation is robust.However,such a displacement-pressure formulation is less explored in meshfree methods,which mitigates the problem associated with mesh distortion during large deformation.This work addresses this issue of alleviating volumetric locking in the element-free Galerkin method(EFGM),which is one of the popular meshfree methods.A two-field mixed variational formulation using the perturbed Lagrangian approach within the EFGM framework is proposed for modelling nearly incompressible hyperelastic material models,such as Neo-Hookean and Mooney-Rivlin.Taking advantage of the meshless nature of the EFGM,this work introduces a unique approach by randomly distributing pressure nodes across the geometry,following specific guidelines.A wide spectrum of problems involving bending,tension,compression,and contact is solved using two approaches of the proposed displacement-pressure node formulation involving regular and irregular pressure node distribution.It is observed that both approaches give accurate results compared to the reference results,though the latter offers flexibility in the pressure nodal distribution.
文摘BACKGROUND Proximal humerus fractures(PHFs)are common,especially in the elderly,and optimal surgical management remains debated.This study compares clinical,functional,and radiographic outcomes of deltoid split(DS)vs deltopectoral(DP)approaches in PHFs treated with locking plates.AIM To evaluate and compare the clinical,functional,and radiographic outcomes-as well as postoperative complication rates-associated with the DS vs the DP surgical approach in the open reduction and internal fixation(ORIF)of PHFs using locking plate constructs.METHODS A multicenter retrospective study of 120 patients undergoing ORIF for closed Neer type II-IV PHFs between January 2023 and December 2023.Patients were grouped by surgical approach[DS(n=70),DP(n=50)].Outcome measures included Numeric Rating Scale(NRS)for pain,Quick-Disabilities in Arm,Shoulder,and Hand questionnaire(QuickDASH),Constant-Murley score,Short Form Health Survey-12v2,and radiographic alignment.Complication rates were recorded.Statistical significance was defined as P<0.05.RESULTS Early outcomes favored the DS group:(1)Lower NRS(3.1 vs 5.9);(2)Higher Constant-Murley(68.2 vs 50.5);and(3)Better QuickDASH(25.4 vs 37.1).Complication rate was lower in the DS group(1.66%vs 5.81%).Radiographic outcomes were comparable.Long-term results were similar between groups.CONCLUSION While both approaches yield satisfactory long-term outcomes,the DS approach is associated with faster early recovery and fewer complications,supporting its use in selected cases.
文摘Biology is governed by macromolecular interactions,perturbation of which often lies at the heart of disease.Most therapeutic drugs,whether they are small molecules or biologics,exert their effects through impeding such interactions,whether they are of an enzyme with its substrate or a ligand with its receptor.Conversely,a handful of approved drugs and a larger number of candidates in development have the opposite effect:They either activate or inhibit a biological output by stabilizing a preexisting complex through reducing the rate at which its components dissociate(koff).

文摘This study presents an achievement of laser cooling of alkaline-earth atoms in the Chinese Space Station’s strontium(Sr)atomic space optical clock.The system’s core components,physical unit,optical unit,and electrical unit,have a total volume of 306 L and a total mass of 163.8 kg.These compact and robust units can overcome mechanical vibrations and temperature fluctuations during space launch.The laser sources of the optical unit are composed of diode lasers,and the injection locking of slave lasers is automatically performed by a program.In the experiment,a blue magneto-optical trap of cold atoms was achieved,with the atom numbers estimated to be approximately(1.50±0.13)×10^(6) for 87Sr and(8.00±0.56)×10^(6) for 88Sr.This work establishes a foundation for atomic confinement and high-precision interrogation in space-based optical clocks and expands the frontiers of cold atom physics in microgravity.
