Although mainly used in orbital surgeries, this procedure can also be used to expose the zygomatic arch and periorbital areas. The swinging eyelid procedure, therefore, enables appropriate reduction of zygomaticomalar fracture under direct visualization. We used this technique for a 27 years old man with a displaced zygomaticomalar fracture that pushed on the lateral rectus muscle. Good functional and cosmetic results were obtained postoperatively without ocular motility impairment.展开更多

Looking into the mirror of ourselves, we bring evolution itself to the mirror, which, without blinking, looks with the eye of a frightened gazelle-incredulously-temptingly. Swinging it with a blow to a blow, taking a lunge and reflecting as the shine of slided comet, translating outrage into joy, the most closed resonant system-consciousness works. It is important not to miss any “punch”(knock/sound/word) that is thrown into your consciousness, so that the sound of the universe (and it is she who sends impulses of understanding) turns into improvisation of your own thinking-becoming a landing from “personal Idaho state”, so that the “muscles” of consciousness pumping iron-training do not sleep like a big earthworm that digested fast food (alimentary, cultured), being content with very little and chafing to empty, in order to work, interpreting what is happening near and around you, and comprehend creatively. The cohesion of eidos is so great that thought literally gains weight-you not only get tired quickly in the process of any “thinking”, but you feel that literally the world with weights hangs in your pockets, throwing a couple of blocks with houses and household on your shoulders. And this is all a consequence of the cohesion and microcoupling of all perceptions that revolve in your mind, touching them democratically: with fluids, resonating with waves of meanings, retransmitting impulses of images, and swaddling with the resulting introjections as by current-already according to Maxwell. Let us leave the God of God, art-skillful, and consciousness-seesaw swing of meanings.展开更多

In this article, the oxygen distribution in the adsorption bed under different feed gas oxygen contents, different adsorption pressures, and different product hydrogen purity was studied for both vacuuming process and purging process. The study shows that during the process from the end of adsorption to the end of providing purging, the peak value of oxygen concentration in the adsorption bed gradually increases, with the highest value exceeding 30 times the oxygen content of the feed gas. Moreover, the concentration multiplier of oxygen in the adsorption bed increases with the increase of the adsorption pressure, decreases with the increase of the oxygen content in the feed gas, and increases with the decrease of the hydrogen product purity. When the oxygen content in the feed gas reaches 0.3% (vol), the peak value of oxygen concentration in the adsorption bed exceeds 10% (vol), which will make the front part of the oxygen concentration peak fall in an explosion limit range. As the decrease of product hydrogen content, the oxygen concentration peak in the adsorption bed will gradually move forward to the adsorption bed outlet, and even penetrate through the adsorption bed. And during the process of the oxygen concentration peak moving forward, the oxygen will enter the pipeline at the outlet of the adsorption bed, which will make the pipeline space of high-speed gas flow into an explosion range, bringing great risk to the device. The preferred option for safe operation of PSA for hydrogen purification from oxygen-containing feed gas is to deoxygenate the feed gas. When deoxygenation is not available, a lower adsorption pressure and a higher product hydrogen purity (greater than or equal to 99.9% (vol)) can be used to avoid the gas in the adsorption bed outlet pipeline being in the explosion range.展开更多

文摘In spite of its intrinsic complexities,the passive gait of bipedal robots on a sloping ramp is a subject of interest for numerous researchers.What distinguishes the present research from similar works is the consideration of flexibility in the constituent links of this type of robotic systems.This is not a far-fetched assumption because in the transient(impact)phase,due to the impulsive forces which are applied to the system,the likelihood of exciting the vibration modes increases considerably.Moreover,the human leg bones that are involved in walking are supported by viscoelastic muscles and ligaments.Therefore,for achieving more exact results,it is essential to model the robot links with viscoelastic properties.To this end,the Gibbs-Appell formulation and Newton's kinematic impact law are used to derive the most general form of the system's dynamic equations in the swing and transient phases of motion.The most important issue in the passive walking motion of bipedal robots is the determination of the initial robot configuration with which the system could accomplish a periodic and stable gait solely under the effect of gravitational force.The extremely unstable nature of the system studied in this paper and the vibrations caused by the impulsive forces induced by the impact of robot feet with the inclined surface are some of the very serious challenges encountered for achieving the above-mentioned goal.To overcome such challenges,an innovative method that uses a combination of the linearized equations of motion in the swing phase and the algebraic motion equations in the transition phase is presented in this paper to obtain an eigenvalue problem.By solving this problem,the suitable initial conditions that are necessary for the passive gait of this bipedal robot on a sloping surface are determined.The effects of the characteristic parameters of elastic links including the modulus of elasticity and the Kelvin-Voigt coefficient on the walking stability of this type of robotic systems are also studied.The findings of this parametric study reveal that the increase in the Kelvin-Voigt coefficient enhances the stability of the robotic system,while the increase in the modulus of elasticity has an opposite effect.

文摘In this paper,a control scheme based on current optimization is proposed for dual three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous motor(DTP-PMSM)drive to reduce the low-frequency temperature swing.The reduction of temperature swing can be equivalent to reducing maximum instantaneous phase copper loss in this paper.First,a two-level optimization aiming at minimizing maximum instantaneous phase copper loss at each electrical angle is proposed.Then,the optimization is transformed to a singlelevel optimization by introducing the auxiliary variable for easy solving.Considering that singleobjective optimization trades a great total copper loss for a small reduction of maximum phase copper loss,the optimization considering both instantaneous total copper loss and maximum phase copper loss is proposed,which has the same performance of temperature swing reduction but with lower total loss.In this way,the proposed control scheme can reduce maximum junction temperature by 11%.Both simulation and experimental results are presented to prove the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control scheme for low-frequency temperature swing reduction.

文摘This study focuses on CO_(2) capture by pressure swing adsorption(PSA),with modified clinoptilolite as the adsorbent.Natural clinoptilolite is modified by roasting,by acid pickling,by a combination of acid pickling and roasting,and by ion exchange.Modification by acid pickling-roasting and by ion exchange are found to give the highest CO_(2) adsorption capacities,of 730 mL/g and 876.7 mL/g,respectively.It is found that regeneration of clinoptilolite by a combination of vacuum desorption and heating enables recovery of as much as 89%of its previous CO_(2) adsorption capacity.To examine the CO_(2) adsorption capacity of clinoptilolite when applied to mixed gas,a simulated coking exhaust containing 12%CO_(2) and 4%O_(2) is used,and it is found that ion exchange modified clinoptilolite achieves a CO_(2) removal efficiency of 92.5%.A BET test reveals that acid pickling-roasting and Na^(+) modification enhance the porosity of clinoptilolite,thereby improving its adsorption capacity.This work demonstrates the feasibility of applying modified clinoptilolite as an effective adsorbent for COO_(2)capture,providing a promising tool for dealing with greenhouse gases.
