Specifically, an adaptive force/position control strategy is designed in this paper which regulates the contact force between a robot and a workpiece to reach any given set-point exponentially fast, and enables the robot to follow a chosen trajectory simultaneously without requiring prior knowledge of the system parameters. The stability of the closed-loop system is analyzed by Lyapunov techniques. To test the validity of the force/position control method, some simulation results are first collected for the closed-loop system. Furthermore, some experiments are implemented on a 5DOF （degree of freedom） industrial robot for the constructed adaptive force controller. Both simulation and experiment results demonstrate the superior performance of the designed adaptive force/position control strategy.展开更多

To handle this synchronization problem this paper proposes a force/position switching scheme, which partitions the two cylinders into a master cylinder and a slave cylinder. The master cylinder is always position tracking controlled by a second-order sliding mode controller and the slave cylinder is integrated with a force tracking controller which is a first order sliding mode controller. When the position tracking error is less than a given value, the slave cylinder switches to be force controlled. Two synchronization control methods are presented based on the switching scheme： the master - master ＋ force/position switching control and the master - slave ＋ force/position switching control. Simulations show that the formance compared with two given proposed synchronization control position-based control methods. methods can get a better per-展开更多

文摘A neural network control scheme with mixed H2/H∞performance was proposed for robot force/position control under parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. The mixed H2/H∞tracking performance ensures both robust stability under a prescribed attenuation level for external disturbance and H2optimal tracking. The neural network was introduced to adaptively estimate nonlinear uncertainties, improving the system’s performance under parameter uncertainties as well as obtaining the H2/H∞tracking performance. The simulation shows that the control method performs better even when the system is under large modeling uncertainties and external disturbances.

文摘Background:Pressure injury(PI)is a prevalent complication in pediatric cardiac surgery,with higher incidence than in general pediatric populations due to children’s thin skin,underdeveloped subcutaneous tissue,and prolonged intraoperative pressure.Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of the curvilinear supine position(CSP)in preventing PI among children undergoing congenital heart disease(CHD)surgery.Methods:Between October 2024 and February 2025,a single-center randomized controlled trial was conducted.Of the 80 children initially enrolled for congenital heart disease(CHD)surgery,77(aged 1 month to 14 years)completed the study and were included in the final analysis after 3 were excluded due to protocol violations.Participants were randomly assigned to the CSP group(n=38)or the conventional supine position group(n=39).Results:The incidence of PI was significantly lower in the CSP group(2.6%)compared to the control group(20.5%)(p=0.029).Postoperative LDH levels were also significantly reduced in the CSP group(422.67±86.52 U/L vs.592.92±215.71 U/L;p=0.031),while preoperative LDH and surgical variables(e.g.,cardiopulmonary bypass time)were comparable between groups.Although the CSP group had a shorter hospital stay(17.24 vs.22.51 days),the difference was not statistically significant(p=0.085).Caregiver satisfaction was significantly higher in the CSP group(100.0%vs.84.6%;p=0.025).Conclusion:CSP effectively reduces PI incidence,mitigates tissue injury,and enhances caregiver satisfaction in pediatric cardiac surgery,offering a safe and feasible strategy for perioperative PI prevention.
文摘Deep learning has been recognized as an effective method for indoor positioning.However,most existing real-valued neural networks(RVNNs)treat the two constituent components of complex-valued channel state information(CSI)as real-valued inputs,potentially discarding useful information embedded in the original CSI.In addition,existing positioning models generally face the contradiction between computational complexity and positioning accuracy.To address these issues,we combine graph neural network(GNN)with complex-valued neural network(CVNN)to construct a lightweight indoor positioning model named CGNet.CGNet employs complexvalued convolution operation to directly process the original CSI data,fully exploiting the correlation between real and imaginary parts of CSI while extracting local features.Subsequently,the feature values are treated as nodes,and conditional position encoding(CPE)module is applied to add positional information.To reduce the number of connections in the graph structure and lower themodel complexity,feature information is mapped to an efficient graph structure through a dynamic axial graph construction(DAGC)method,with global features extracted usingmaximum relative graph convolution(MRConv).Experimental results show that,on the CTW dataset,CGNet achieves a 10%improvement in positioning accuracy compared to existing methods,while the number of model parameters is only 0.8 M.CGNet achieves excellent positioning accuracy with very few parameters.

文摘Systematic understanding of the interaction between cells and their microenvironment is of wide interest.To investigate this interaction,a flexible micropillar array device integrating dual functions of cell behavior regulation and adhesion measurement is developed.Micropillar arrays with high and low densities are designed to explore the role of substrate topography in the behavior of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.In addition,a method is established for quantifying weak cell adhesion forces on the basis of micropillar deflections.The results show that cell cytoplasmic adhesion is greater on a low-density micropillar array than that on a high-density array and is localized mainly in the perinuclear region of the cytoplasm rather than in pseudopods.It is also found that the micropillar array topography facilitates the oriented spreading of cell morphology and pseudopod formation,and a reduction in focal adhesion aggregation and F-actin polarization compared with a flat substrate.Notably,cells cultured on a low-density micropillar array exhibited a higher number of pseudopods,stronger adhesion forces,and greater stiffness compared with those on a high-density array.In summary,this work employs an adhesion force sensor,immunofluorescence staining,and atomic force microscopy to investigate the mechanical properties of cells and elucidate the mechanisms by which micropillar topographical cues regulate the adhesion of mesenchymal stem cells to the substrate.The micropillar array force sensor developed in this study provides an effective tool for simultaneously modulating cell behavior and quantifying adhesion forces,offering valuable insights for biomechanical research.

文摘AIM:To evaluate and compare alterations in the effective lens position(ELP)and refractive outcomes among three distinct intraocular lens(IOL)types.METHODS:Patients with cataracts were enrolled and allocated to 3 groups:Group A(implanted with the SN6CWS),Group B(implanted with the MI60),and Group C(implanted with the Aspira-aA).ELP measurements were obtained with swept-source optical coherence tomography(SS-OCT)at 1d,1wk,1mo,and 3mo postoperatively.Subjective refraction assessments were conducted at 1wk,1mo,and 3mo following surgery.RESULTS:The study included 189 eyes of 150 cataract patients(66 males).There were 77 eyes in Group A,55 eyes in Group B,and 57 eyes in Group C.The root mean square of the ELP(ELPRMS)within the initial 3mo was significantly lower for Group A than for Groups B and C.Refractive changes within Group A were not significant across the time points of 1wk,1mo,and 3mo.Conversely,both Group B and Group C demonstrated statistically significant shifts toward hyperopia from 1wk to 3mo postsurgery.CONCLUSION:Among the three IOLs examined,the SN6CWS IOL showes the greatest stability during the first 3mo postoperatively.Between 1wk and 3mo after surgery,notable hyperopic shifts are evident in eyes implanted with the MI60 and Aspira-aA IOLs,whereas refractive outcomes remain relatively constant in eyes implanted with SN6CWS IOLs.

文摘The rapid development of new-quality productive forces(NQPF)has intensified the demand for high-level innovative talent.As a representative of NQPF,generative artificial intelligence(GenAI)offers powerful tools to reshape talent cultivation but also presents significant challenges,including skill hollowing,ethical risks,and a growing disconnect between education and industry needs.Currently,graduate-level software engineering education struggles with outdated curricula and insufficient alignment with practical demands.In this paper,we propose a dual-core collaborative framework driven by“GenAI technology”and“industry demand”.Under this framework,we design a four-dimensional capability development path to enhance graduate students’innovation in software engineering practice.This path focuses on①scientific research innovation,②engineering problem-solving,③cross-domain collaborative evolution,and④ethical risk governance.The proposed approach promotes a shift from traditional knowledge transfer to human-machine collaborative innovation,aligning talent cultivation with the demands of the NQPF.
文摘Severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)can induce acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)and abdominal compartment syndrome(ACS).Although prone position ventilation(PPV)can improve outcomes in patients with ARDS,there is significant controversy regarding its concurrent use with ACS owing to concerns of increased risk of intra-abdominal pressure(IAP).[1]We present a case of successful PPV application without adverse eff ects.
文摘Against the backdrop of profound restructuring in the global industrial and supply chains,data elements have emerged as a critical force driving the transformation of enterprises'new quality productive forces.To address the ambiguity surrounding its micro-level empowerment mechanism,this paper empirically examines the impact of data elements on enterprises'new quality productive forces and its transmission channels using panel data of Chinese A-share listed firms from 2014 to 2023.The results show that data elements significantly improve the level of enterprises'new quality productive forces.Heterogeneity analysis indicates that this promotional effect is more pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises,large-scale enterprises,and low-leverage enterprises.Mechanism tests confirm that data elements empower new quality productive forces through three paths:enhancing enterprise innovation capability,improving internal operational efficiency,and promoting inter-firm collaboration efficiency.This study provides empirical evidence for understanding the micro-level empowerment logic of data elements and offers theoretical references and practical implications for advancing the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy.
