Health monitoring sensors that are attached to clothing are a new trend of the times, especially stretchable sensors for human motion measurements or biological markers. However, price, durability, and performance always are major problems to be addressed and three-dimensional (3D) printing combined with conductive flexible materials (thermoplastic polyurethane) can be an optimal solution. Herein, we evaluate the effects of 3D printing-line directions (45°, 90°, 180°) on the sensor performances. Using fused filament fabrication (FDM) technology, the sensors are created with different print styles for specific purposes. We also discuss some main issues of the stretch sensors from Carbon Nanotube/Thermoplastic Polyurethane (CNT/TPU) and FDM. Our sensor achieves outstanding stability (10,000 cycles) and reliability, which are verified through repeated measurements. Its capability is demonstrated in a real application when detecting finger motion by a sensor-integrated into gloves. This paper is expected to bring contribution to the development of flexible conductive materials—based on 3D printing.

Direct-Coupled FET Logic (DCFL) is an important logic family for LSI GaAs FET circuits because of its simple structure and good speed/power performance. Since it is especially sensitive to temperature shifts of performance, accurate temperature modeling is critical for design of DCFL circuits. Using a version of SPICE modified to include FET temperature dependence, the performance of DCFL is simulated over temperature and compared with measured results. In addition, an improved version of DCFL known as E-E Logic (Enhancement-Enhancement Logic) is modeled over temperature. The performance of E-E Logic is compared to DCFL with depletion-mode FET and saturated resistor loads over temperature. E-E Logic is found to offer improved yield, power dissipation and performance control compared to conventional DCFL.

Wheel dynamics is a significant component of vehicle dynamics and performance analysis. This paper presents an innovative method of studying wheel dynamics and wheel performance control based on the inverse dynamics formulation of the problem. Such an approach opens up a new way to the optimization and control of both vehicle dynamics and vehicle performance by optimizing and controlling power distribution to the drive wheels. An equation of motion of a wheel is derived first from the wheel power balance equation that makes the equation more general. This equation of motion is considered the basis for studying both direct and inverse wheel dynamics. The development of a control strategy on the basis of the inverse wheel dynamics approach includes wheel torque control that provides a wheel with both the referred angular velocity and rolling radius and also with the required functionals of quality. An algorithm for controlling the angular velocity is presented as the first part in the implementation of the developed strategy of the inverse wheel dynamics/performance control.

It was taken as typical steelmaking fluorine-containing slag systems with the remelting electroslag, continuous casting mould flux and refining slag. The volatilization behaviour of each slag system was analysed by thermogravimetric (TG) and mass spectrometry (MS) detection. The results showed that the remelting electroslag volatilized significantly above 1300°C and the volatiles were mainly CaF 2 , MgF 2 with a small amount of SiF 4 and AlF 3 ; the continuous casting mould flux volatilization was divided into two stages, in the first stage (500°C∼800°C), CaF 2 and Na 2 O reacted to form NaF, and in the second stage (greater than 1200°C), the CaF 2 evaporation was highlighted; for CaF 2 -CaO-based refining slag, the volatilization was the most significant at the eutectic point 84% CaF 2 –16% CaO, and the volatility can be reduced by adding 5% SiO 2 . This research will be guiding significance for the composition and performance control of fluorine-containing slag and metallurgical environmental protection in the steelmaking process.
