All-optical switchings and beam deflections of 3-HF in three kinds of solvents （cyclohexane, ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide） have been investigated by using the third-harmonic generation （355 nm） of a mode-locked Nd：YAG laser as a pump beam and a continuous-wave （cw） He-Ne laser （632.8 nm） as a probe beam. The nonlinear refractive indices of 3-HF in the three different solvents are determined by using the Z-scan technique under an ultraviolet （UV） pump beam at a wavelength of 355 nm. It has been found that the optical switching and beam deflection effects result from the change in refractive index of 3-HF under the irradiation of the pump beam. On the basis of the analyses of absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra, we conclude that the change in refractive index of 3-HF is due to not the thermal effect but the ESIPT effect of 3-HF under the pump beam. As the ESIPT is exceedingly fast, 3-HF might be an excellent candidate for high-speed optical switching.展开更多

In order to solve the problems of slow dynamic response and difficult multi-source coordination of solar electric vehicle charging stations under intermittent renewable energy,this paper proposes a hardware-algorithm ...In order to solve the problems of slow dynamic response and difficult multi-source coordination of solar electric vehicle charging stations under intermittent renewable energy,this paper proposes a hardware-algorithm co-design framework:the T-type three-level bidirectional converter(100 kHz switching frequency)based on silicon carbide(SiC)MOSFET is deeply integrated with fuzzy model predictive control(Fuzzy-MPC).At the hardware level,the switching trajectory and resonance suppression circuit(attenuation resonance peak 18 dB)are optimized,and the total loss is reduced by 23%compared with the traditional silicon-based IGBT.At the algorithm level,the adaptive parameter update mechanism and multi-objective rolling optimization are adopted,and the 5 ms level dynamic power allocation is realized by relying on edge computing.Experiments on 800 V DC microgrid(including 600 kW photovoltaic and 150 A·h energy storage)built based on MATLAB/Simulink hardware-in-the-loop(HIL)platform show that the system shortens the battery charging time from 42 to 28 min(the charging speed is increased by 33%).Through the 78%valley power utilization rate,the power purchase cost of high-priced power grids was significantly reduced,and the levelized electricity price decreased by 10.3%;Under the irradiation fluctuation,the renewable energy consumption rate increases by 10.1%,and the DC bus voltage fluctuation is stable within±10 V when the load step is±30%.The co-design provides an economically feasible and dynamically robust solution for the efficient integration of PV-ESG-EV in the smart grid.展开更多

文摘Field-effect nanofluidic transistors(FENTs),biomimicking the structure and functionality of neuron,act as biological transistors with the ability to gate switching responses to external stimuli.The switching ratio has been verified to evaluate the performance of FENTs,but until recently,the response time,another crucial indicator,has been ignored.Employing finite-element method,we investigated the relationship among gate charge,switching ratio and response time by divisionally manipulating gate charge,including entrance surface and the surface of confinement space,for ion transport to optimize switching capability.The dual-split gate charge on FENTs exhibits synergistic effect on switching response.Based on the two regional gate charge on FENTs,multivalence ions in lower concentration,high aspect ratio and single channel show higher switching ratio but longer response time compared to monovalent ions.The findings highlight the necessity of balancing these two signals in FENTs and offer insights for optimizing their design and expanding applications to dual-signal-detection iontronics.

文摘Soft machines harness material-level physical intelligence to perform adaptive tasks,enabling advancements in biomedical and human-machine interaction fields.Soft switches are the basic building blocks to achieve intelligent functions like autonomous decisions and mechanical computation.However,current soft switches suffer from complex fabrication processes,limited performance,and a lack of multimodal control,which hinder their practical application and the realization of machine intelligence.Herein,by harnessing the unique self-pinch and self-healing effects of the gallium-based liquid metals(LMs),we describe a soft high-performance electric switch composed of an LM line encapsulated within an elastomer.Applying pressure to deform the LM switch can increase local current density,leading to the electromagnetic self-pinch effect for switching off.After releasing pressure,the LM can spontaneously heal with the elastic recovery of the elastomer for switching on.This LM switch shows comprehensive advantages,including a compact design(0.5 mm×1.5 mm×10 mm),good stretchability(100%),high on/off ratio(~10^(9)),rapid response time(<100 ms),and excellent durability(>12000 cycles).Moreover,the LM switches enable multiple control modes,including magnetic and optical stimulation,through the integration of responsive materials.We demonstrate various LM switch-enabled functional soft machines,such as an interactive flexible gripper,a self-oscillating soft crawler,and wearable logic gates.This work will open new avenues for the application of LM in intelligent soft machines and advanced wearable electronics.
文摘BACKGROUND SMARCB1/INI1-deficient pancreatic undifferentiated rhabdoid carcinoma is a highly aggressive tumor,and spontaneous splenic rupture(SSR)as its presenting manifestation is rarely reported among pancreatic malignancies.CASE SUMMARY We herein report a rare case of a 59-year-old female who presented with acute left upper quadrant abdominal pain without any history of trauma.Abdominal imaging demonstrated a heterogeneous splenic lesion with hemoperitoneum,raising clinical suspicion of SSR.Emergency laparotomy revealed a pancreatic tumor invading the spleen and left kidney,with associated splenic rupture and dense adhesions,necessitating en bloc resection of the distal pancreas,spleen,and left kidney.Histopathology revealed a biphasic malignancy composed of moderately differentiated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and an undifferentiated carcinoma with rhabdoid morphology and loss of SMARCB1 expression.Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed complete loss of SMARCB1/INI1 in the undifferentiated component,along with a high Ki-67 index(approximately 80%)and CD10 positivity.The ductal adenocarcinoma component retained SMARCB1/INI1 expression and was positive for CK7 and CK-pan.Transitional zones between the two tumor components suggested progressive dedifferentiation and underlying genomic instability.The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel and maintained a satisfactory quality of life at the 6-month follow-up.CONCLUSION This study reports a rare case of SMARCB1/INI1-deficient undifferentiated rhabdoid carcinoma of the pancreas combined with ductal adenocarcinoma,presenting as SSR-an exceptionally uncommon initial manifestation of pancreatic malignancy.

文摘This paper explores the adaptive exponentially designated-time stabilization issue via event-triggered feedback for a kind of uncertain high-order nonlinear systems.The motivation mainly comes from the following two challenges:the undesired singularity problem arising from infinite control gains at the prescribed-time instant,the effective trade-off between the control amplitude and the triggering duration.The goal is to build an event-triggered mechanism comprising a skillful triggered rule alongside a time-dependent threshold.Utilizing the designed control strategy,the solutions'existence and the prevention of Zeno phenomenon are successfully guaranteed by using a new transformation equipped with a time-varying function and redesigning the continuous state-feedback dominance approach with an array of integral functions involving embedded sign functions.Better than existing prescribed-time methods,our approach not only ensures that state variables converge to a small compact set before a designated time and stay there henceforth,and converge to the origin exponentially,but also ensures that the controller continuously works on the whole-time horizon.Two illustrative examples are given to show the effectiveness of the devised scheme.

文摘As investigated by 3GPP,support of UPF(user plane function)onboard satellite can reduce the latency of communications via satellite,and then it becomes a key enhancement in 5G network integrating with satellite communication.However,current 5G system cannot support UPF onboard LEO(low earth orbit)satellites,as it would face challenges like UPF mobility handling,synchronization between mobile network and satellite network,and condition of activating local data switching.To solve such challenges,this paper proposes a solution to support UPF onboard LEO satellite,which consists of enhanced network architecture,I-UPF(intermediate UPF)based local data switching scheme and communication latency based data path selection.We subsequently develop analytic models for performance evaluation and conduct simulations using the constellation configuration of iridium II.The simulation results show that the data switching via I-UPF onboard LEO satellite can reduce E2E(end to end)packet delivery latency and E2E packet loss ratio significantly compared with that of routing the data back to 5GC on the ground.The proposed scheme yet has increased signaling cost for handling UPF mobility.els,compared with existing similar companding algorithms.

文摘Coherent perfect absorption(CPA)and coherent perfect transmission(CPT)are two extreme states arising from the manipulation of optical fields.Generally,CPA and CPT occur under different input-field phases.Therefore,we propose a scheme to realize an all-optical switch based on phase-dependent CPA–CPT conversion.In our proposal,the CPT state and the CPA state are treated as the on state and the off state,respectively.Consequently,the efficiency of this all-optical switch can reach the maximum value of 1.With the introduction of an incoherent pump field,the CPA state can be achieved under a weaker input probe field or can be converted into a CPT state.The results show that the optical switch can operate with weaker fields and can be further optimized by the application of an incoherent field.

文摘We report the development of the[Pt_(0.75)Ti_(0.25)/Co-Ni multilayer/Ta]_n superlattice with strong spin-orbit torque,large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy,and remarkably low switching current density.We demonstrate that the efficiency of the spin-orbit torque increases nearly linearly with the repetition number n,which is in excellent agreement with the spin Hall effect of the Pt_(0.75)Ti_(0.25)being essentially the only source of the observed spin-orbit torque.The perpendicular magnetic anisotropy field is also substantially enhanced by more than a factor of 2 as n increases from 1 to6.The[Pt_(0.75)Ti_(0.25)/Co-Ni multilayers/Ta]_n superlattice additionally exhibits deterministic,low-current-density magnetization switching despite the very large total layer thicknesses.The unique combination of strong spin-orbit torque,robust perpendicular magnetic anisotropy,low-current-density switching,and excellent high thermal stability makes the[Pt_(0.75)Ti_(0.25)/Co-Ni multilayer/Ta]_n superlattice a highly compelling material candidate for ultrafast,energy-efficient,and long-data-retention spintronic technologies.

文摘In order to solve the problems of slow dynamic response and difficult multi-source coordination of solar electric vehicle charging stations under intermittent renewable energy,this paper proposes a hardware-algorithm co-design framework:the T-type three-level bidirectional converter(100 kHz switching frequency)based on silicon carbide(SiC)MOSFET is deeply integrated with fuzzy model predictive control(Fuzzy-MPC).At the hardware level,the switching trajectory and resonance suppression circuit(attenuation resonance peak 18 dB)are optimized,and the total loss is reduced by 23%compared with the traditional silicon-based IGBT.At the algorithm level,the adaptive parameter update mechanism and multi-objective rolling optimization are adopted,and the 5 ms level dynamic power allocation is realized by relying on edge computing.Experiments on 800 V DC microgrid(including 600 kW photovoltaic and 150 A·h energy storage)built based on MATLAB/Simulink hardware-in-the-loop(HIL)platform show that the system shortens the battery charging time from 42 to 28 min(the charging speed is increased by 33%).Through the 78%valley power utilization rate,the power purchase cost of high-priced power grids was significantly reduced,and the levelized electricity price decreased by 10.3%;Under the irradiation fluctuation,the renewable energy consumption rate increases by 10.1%,and the DC bus voltage fluctuation is stable within±10 V when the load step is±30%.The co-design provides an economically feasible and dynamically robust solution for the efficient integration of PV-ESG-EV in the smart grid.

文摘The construction of spot electricity markets plays a pivotal role in power system reforms,where market clearing systems profoundly influence market efficiency and security.Current clearing systems predominantly adopt a single-system architecture,with research focusing primarily on accelerating solution algorithms through techniques such as high-efficiency parallel solvers and staggered decomposition of mixed-integer programming models.Notably absent are systematic studies evaluating the adaptability of primary-backup clearing systems incontingency scenarios—a critical gap given redundant systems’expanding applications in operational environments.This paper proposes a comprehensive evaluation framework for analyzing dual-system adaptability,demonstrated through an in-depth case study of the Inner Mongolia power market.First,we establish the innovative“Dual-Active Heterogeneous”architecture that enables independent parallelized operation and fault-isolated redundancy.Subsequently,key performance indices are quantitatively evaluated across four critical dimensions:unit commitment decisions,generator output constraints,transmission section congestion patterns,and clearing price formation mechanisms.An integrated fuzzy evaluation methodology incorporating grey relational analysis is employed for objective indicator weighting,enabling systematic quantification of system superiority under specific grid operating states.Empirical results based on actual operational data from 200 generation units demonstrate the framework’s efficacy in guiding optimal system selection,with particularly strong performance observed during peak load periods.The proposed approach shows high generalization potential for other regional markets employing redundant clearing mechanisms—particularly those with increasing renewable penetration and associated uncertainty.
文摘To solve the problem of circulating power of dual active bridge(DAB)DC-DC converter over a wide voltage conversion ratio,this paper proposes a novel synchronous PWM(S-PWM)modulation.Existence of circulating power increases current stress of devices and decreases efficiency,especially under light load conditions.Several modulation methods have been proposed to overcome the problem.They can reduce or eliminate either input or output side circulating power.In contrast,S-PWM not only eliminates both sides circulating power and reduces current stress,but also achieves zero-current-switching(ZCS)turn-on for all switches and ZCS turn-off for most across the full power range.No auxiliary or snubber circuits are increased.In addition,the control can be simplified so the transmitted power is related to only one variable.The S-PWM has four cases under different gain and power conditions.The detailed operation principle and modes of DAB under S-PWM are analyzed in the paper.In addition,four modulations in literature are discussed,and corresponding comparative analyses with S-PWM are given.Finally,a laboratory prototype is built to verify advantages and effectiveness of the proposed modulation.

文摘High Speed on/off Valve(HSV)is an essential component in Aerospace Digital Hydraulic Systems(ADHS),which impose stringent requirements on the dynamic performance and reliability of HSV due to the extreme application environments.However,the faster dynamic leads to increased impact between the spool and valve body,causing severe vibration and wear,which creates a conflict between rapid dynamic and high reliability.To address this problem,a Pre-Excitation Soft Switching Control(PESSC)with both pre-excitation and reverse deceleration functionalities is proposed.The initial current is optimized through pre-excitation to accelerate the opening time,while the application of reverse voltage hastens the decline of electromagnetic force,thereby reducing the spool velocity.The PESSC simultaneously achieves both faster dynamic performance and smaller impact velocity.Moreover,the optimal deceleration voltage parameters are obtained through multi-objective optimization.Experimental results demonstrate that the optimized PESSC shortens the opening time from 2.22 ms to 1.65 ms,reduces the impact velocity by 58.3%,and lowers wear by 55.4%.These findings underline the huge potential of PESSC in enhancing the dynamic performance and reliability of HSVs,offering promising applications in aerospace.

文摘DIS3 is the main catalytic subunit of the nuclear RNA exosome,a complex playing a crucial role in RNA processing and the degradation of various noncoding RNA substrates.In mice,DIS3 is essential for genomic rearrangements during B cell development,but its role in terminal plasma cell(PC)differentiation has not been explored.Although DIS3 gene alterations are frequent in multiple myeloma(MM),a PC malignancy,their molecular impact remains poorly understood.In this study,we developed an antisense oligonucleotide strategy to knock down DIS3 expression in a well-characterized model of human PC differentiation.Reducing DIS3 expression systematically led to decreased B cell proliferation and impaired PC differentiation with lower levels of switched immunoglobulin secretion.Transcriptome analyses confirmed alterations in the proliferation and differentiation programs,alongside an accumulation of noncoding RNAs.Notably,centromere-associated noncoding RNAs were highly sensitive to DIS3 activity,and their accumulation in DIS3-deficient cells,either as transcripts or DNA-associated RNAs,correlated with the mislocalization of the centromere-specific histone variant CENP-A.We finally observed reduced physiological DNA recombination and somatic hypermutation but increased genomic instability in DIS3-deficient cells,in agreement with the higher levels of IGH translocations observed in our large cohort of DIS3-mutant MM patients.Together,these results underscore the essential role of DIS3 in regulating B cell proliferation,DNA recombination,and physiological or malignant PC differentiation in humans.
