[Method] Six proportions of baits mixed by watermeal and commercial feed (0, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%) were designed to feed the Procambarus clarkia juveniles in 2 community scales to research the growth situation of the crayfish in different mixed baits. The growth differences between the minimal community and the larger community of crayfish in the same proportion of Wolffia were compared. [Result] The growth situations of crayfish in the 2 community scales at different proportions of watermeal were as follows: the body length was the longest in 60% watermeal group, and shortest in the pure watermeal group; the regularity was the best in the 20% watermeal group; no matter the minimal community or the larger community, there was no significant difference in the survival rate between different watermeal proportions. The growth situations of crayfish in the 2 community scales at specific proportion of watermeal were: the average body length of the minimal community was significantly greater than the larger community, and the survival rate also greater than the latter one, but the difference was not significant. [Conclusion] Considering all kinds of index such as growth, survival rate, regularity, the appropriate proportion of the baits mixed by watermeal and commercial feed is 40% to 60%; big community scale has significant inhibition on growth of crayfish, thus, there should be barriers when cultivating Procambarus clarkia juvenile.展开更多

The VSPN can be used for passive homing guidance system, and is especially suitable for attacking helicopter.展开更多

Its function is to control the operating speed, direction, position, and strength of output force of the hydraulic actuator continuously. Considering the different application and the cost, the existing technique mainly includes the internal feedback valve used in open loop system, and the electronic closed loop controlled valve used in closed loop system. Because of their different mechanical structure and the gre at different in performance, it brings inconvenience for customer to select, also inconvenience for enterprise to produce. Aiming at this problem, the idea of combining the above two kinds of valves into one body is proposed first, and then the new valve＇s structure to realize this target is designed. The idea intends to apply the displacement pilot flow feedback control principle in present 2-position 2-way valve system to the proportional direction valve of 3-position 4-way system. Newly designed feed forward controller can decouple the interference between the internal feedback and the electronic closed loop. Redundant conversion is designed to electronic switch mode. Experiment on dynamic and static characteristic of new proportional direction valve in internal feedback control mode and electronic closed loop control mode is discussed to prove the new theory is correct. Although the new valve is of excellent dynamic response characteristic, its steady control characteristic in open loop control mode needs to be improved further. The research results prepare one new fundamental element for electronic-hydraulic control technology.展开更多

The results indicate that using slide pilot valve in the valve system isfeasible, but the leakage's influences can not be neglected, especially it may induce instability ina low output pressure situation. A pilot valve using too large throttle window will cause the valveoscillate. To improve the working condition of pilot valve, a method adopting different widths oftwo throttle window is proposed. According to our simulation, this method balances the pressure dropbetween the two stage throttle ports, and reduces the influences of pilot valve's leakage.展开更多

文摘[Objective] This study aimed to examine the effect of different proportions of Wolffia on the growth of Procambarus clarkia in 2 kinds of community scales. [Method] Six proportions of baits mixed by watermeal and commercial feed (0, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%) were designed to feed the Procambarus clarkia juveniles in 2 community scales to research the growth situation of the crayfish in different mixed baits. The growth differences between the minimal community and the larger community of crayfish in the same proportion of Wolffia were compared. [Result] The growth situations of crayfish in the 2 community scales at different proportions of watermeal were as follows: the body length was the longest in 60% watermeal group, and shortest in the pure watermeal group; the regularity was the best in the 20% watermeal group; no matter the minimal community or the larger community, there was no significant difference in the survival rate between different watermeal proportions. The growth situations of crayfish in the 2 community scales at specific proportion of watermeal were: the average body length of the minimal community was significantly greater than the larger community, and the survival rate also greater than the latter one, but the difference was not significant.

Methods The large positioning errors caused by the time varying deadzone were significantly reduced by using the dynamic compensation method for the deadzone; and the large overshoot caused by the time varying gain were dramatically reduced by using the three section intelligent control schemes. Results Experimental results demonstrated that the positioning performance of rapid response, high accuracy and smaller or even no overshoot was achieved under a wide variations of load torque. Conclusion The good positioning performance for valve controlled motor servo systems has been achieved in the presence of the time varying deadzone and gain.
文摘rate,ratio,proportion三词都可以表示“比例”。表此义时,其差别甚是微妙,值得注意。现作如下辨析: rate指“比、比率、比例”,如:mortality rate死亡率,tax rate税率,rate of rejects废品率,rate of attendance出勤率,crime rate犯罪率,divorce rate离婚率,accident rate事故发生率。从以上例证不难看出,这里所谓的“比、比率”是指部分相对整体形成的比率,即a mea-sure of a part with respect to the whole。如“废品率”是产品“总量”减去“正品量”然后除以总量而得来的。

文摘Proportional direction valve is one of the most fundamental elements in electronic-hydraulic control technique. Its function is to control the operating speed, direction, position, and strength of output force of the hydraulic actuator continuously. Considering the different application and the cost, the existing technique mainly includes the internal feedback valve used in open loop system, and the electronic closed loop controlled valve used in closed loop system. Because of their different mechanical structure and the gre at different in performance, it brings inconvenience for customer to select, also inconvenience for enterprise to produce. Aiming at this problem, the idea of combining the above two kinds of valves into one body is proposed first, and then the new valve＇s structure to realize this target is designed. The idea intends to apply the displacement pilot flow feedback control principle in present 2-position 2-way valve system to the proportional direction valve of 3-position 4-way system. Newly designed feed forward controller can decouple the interference between the internal feedback and the electronic closed loop. Redundant conversion is designed to electronic switch mode. Experiment on dynamic and static characteristic of new proportional direction valve in internal feedback control mode and electronic closed loop control mode is discussed to prove the new theory is correct. Although the new valve is of excellent dynamic response characteristic, its steady control characteristic in open loop control mode needs to be improved further. The research results prepare one new fundamental element for electronic-hydraulic control technology.

文摘A new closed loop flow controlling principle through correcting the valve'sopening area while load pressure is changing is carried out. Further more a principle using only oneproportional valve to compound control pressure and flow is suggested. By using very simpleproportional throttle valve in structure, the functions that five kinds of proportional valves orany two of them combined possess can be complimented. After analyzing, comparing, and testing thedynamic and static characteristics of valve with different controlling principles and main valvestructure styles, the optimized structure styles and control methods are achieved.

文摘A mathematic model is built up to analyze the influences of a pilot valve'sleakage on the performances of pneumatic pressure proportional valve, and the performances aresimulated by using MATLAB. The results indicate that using slide pilot valve in the valve system isfeasible, but the leakage's influences can not be neglected, especially it may induce instability ina low output pressure situation. A pilot valve using too large throttle window will cause the valveoscillate. To improve the working condition of pilot valve, a method adopting different widths oftwo throttle window is proposed. According to our simulation, this method balances the pressure dropbetween the two stage throttle ports, and reduces the influences of pilot valve's leakage.
文摘A new proportional navigation(PN) guidance law,called combined proportional navigation(CPN),is proposed.The guidance law is designed to intercept high-speed targets,which is a common case for ballistic targets.The range of target-to-interceptor speed ratio during target interception is derived when guidance laws are applied in high-speed targets interception,and the effectiveness of negative navigation ratio in the PN-based guidance law is proven analytically in some lemmas.Based on the lemmas,the lateral acceleration command of CPN is defined,and the solution to the appearance of singularity in time-varying navigation ratio is given.The simulation results show that CPN can determine headon engagement(as PN) or tail-chase engagement(as RPN) through initial path angle compared with PN and retro proportional navigation(RPN),and can adjust the value of navigation ratio for head-on engagement or tail-chase engagement.Therefore,the capture region of CPN is larger than that of other guidance laws using PN-based methods.
