A novel combined metal-fused silica resonator for the cylinder vibrating gyroscope is proposed in this paper. The cylinder wall of the resonator is made of fused silica, while the bottom is made of metal, and then the two parts are connected by strong glue. With this method, the manufacturing difficulty of the fused silica resonator can be reduced significantly and the performance can be retained without remarkable degeneration. In this paper, the novel metal-fused silica resonator is analyzed, including the structural optimization design and fabrication, testing of the stability of the resonance frequency and the Q factor. The preliminary experimental results show that the low-cost combined metal-fused silica resonator has potential good performance to achieve high accuracy in a cylinder shell vibrating gyroscope.

Despite the popularity of piezoelectric vibratory micro-gyroscope in the past decades for their small size, low cost, batch fabrication and energy efficient, most of them can only detect single axis angular rate. In this paper, a novel biaxial piezoelectric micro-gyroscope fabricated with PZT wafer is proposed. To acquire two-axial angular rate sensing, a bouncing mode of the vibrator is utilized as the drive mode and two rocking modes are used as the sense modes. PZT is used as the vibration body instead of transducer, which enhances the drive and sense efficiency of the sensor. In this paper, the structure and working principle of the novel biaxial piezoelectric micro-gyroscope are introduced firstly. In addition, modal analysis has been made to research the voltage distribution of the piezoelectric vibrator and the drive and sense electrodes of the gyroscope are designed. By the optimization design of the proof mass, the frequency split between the drive mode (bouncing mode) and sense modes (rocking modes) is reduced and the sensitivity of the gyroscope is improved. Harmonic analysis has been made to research the Coriolis Effect of the gyroscope. The data get from the harmonic analysis is demodulated by Matlab and the sensitivity is given. The simulation results verify the principle of the novel biaxial piezoelectric micro-gyroscope. With the optimized design, the sensor is fabricated with MEMS technology at last.

The development of a mechanical structure needs to be started from the conceptual design with low cost, high performance and quality. In this regard, the structural and topological shape of the system has a great e ect on the performance in terms of rigidity, strength and mass reduction. In this paper, optimization design methodologies in the design stages of an aluminium control arm for a suspension are presented. First, using topology optimization, the optimal layout and the reinforcement structure are obtained, and then the detail designs are carried out using shape optimization for the structural rigidity and strength. In comparison with a steel control arm, the mass reduction is 50 per cent and the structural rigidity and strength are improved up to 40 per cent.

Quality Factor Q

For the axisymmetric shell resonator gyroscopes, the quality factor (Q factor) of the resonator is one of the core parameters limiting their performances. Surface loss is one of the dominating losses, which is related to the subsurface damage (SSD) that is influenced by the grinding parameters. This paper experimentally studies the surface roughness and Q factor variation of six resonators ground by three different grinding speeds. The results suggest that the removal of the SSD cannot improve the Q factor continuously, and the variation of surface roughness is not the dominant reason to affect the Q factor. The measurement results indicate that an appropriate increase in the grinding speed can significantly improve the surface quality and Q factor. This study also demonstrates that a 20 million Q factor for fused silica cylindrical resonators is achievable using appropriate manufacturing processes combined with post-processing etching, which offers possibilities for developing high-precision and low-cost cylindrical resonator gyroscopes.

: Skin cancer, among the various kinds of cancers, is a type that emerges from skin due to the growth of abnormal cells. These cells are capable of spreading and invading the other parts of the body. The occurrence of non-melanoma and melanoma, which are the major types of skin cancers, has increased over the past decades. Exposure to ultraviolet radiations (UV) is the main associative cause of skin cancer. UV exposure can inactivate tumor suppressor genes while activating various oncogenes. The conventional techniques like surgical removal, chemotherapy and radiation therapy lack the potential for targeting cancer cells and harm the normal cells. However, the novel therapeutics show promising improvements in the effectiveness of treatment, survival rates and better quality of life for patients. Different methodologies are involved in the skin cancer therapeutics for delivering the active ingredients to the target sites. Nano carriers are very efficient as they have the ability to improve the stability of drugs and further enhance their penetration into the tumor cells. The recent developments and research in nanotechnology have entitled several targeting and therapeutic agents to be incorporated into nanoparticles for an enhancive treatment of skin cancer. To protect the research works in the field of nanolipoidal systems various patents have been introduced. Some of the patents acknowledge responsive liposomes for specific targeting, nanocarriers for the delivery or co-delivery of chemotherapeutics, nucleic acids as well as photosensitizers. Further recent patents on the novel delivery systems have also been included here.

Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the effects of ultraviolet (UV) photofunctionalization on the stability of implants during the early phase in the posterior region of the maxilla. The study was a randomized double-blinded clinical trial. Half of the participants received conventional commercial implants while the other half received UV-irradiated implants. The surgical sites were classified into three bone quality groups (II, III, IV) based on the grayscale value measured on cone-beam computed tomography. The values obtained from resonance frequency analysis were recorded immediately after implant placement and at 4 weeks and at 4 months postoperatively. The marginal bone level of the implants was evaluated using periapical radiographs at 4 weeks, 4 months, and 1 year postoperatively. Results Fifty-seven implants placed in 34 participants were analyzed in this study. In group III, significant differences were observed in terms of the differences of resonance frequency analysis values at 4 weeks (p = 0.004) and 4 months (p = 0.017) postoperatively. In group II, the UV-treated group showed significantly lesser bone loss at 4 weeks post-operatively (p = 0.037). Conclusions Within the limitation of the present study, we concluded that UV surface treatment on implants may increase the initial stability in the region of the maxilla with poor bone quality.

The optimization of blank design is the key to the implementation of a green innovation strategy. The process of blank design determines more than 80% of resource consumption and environmental emissions during the blank processing. Unfortunately, the traditional blank design method based on function and quality is not suitable for today’s sustainable development concept. In order to solve this problem, a research method of blank design optimization based on a low-carbon and low-cost process route optimization is proposed. Aiming at the processing characteristics of complex box type blank parts, the concept of the workstep element is proposed to represent the characteristics of machining parts, a low-carbon and low-cost multi-objective optimization model is established, and relevant constraints are set up. In addition, an intelligent generation algorithm of a working step chain is proposed, and combined with a particle swarm optimization algorithm to solve the optimization model. Finally, the feasibility and practicability of the method are verified by taking the processing of the blank of an emulsion box as an example. The data comparison shows that the comprehensive performance of the low-carbon and low-cost multi-objective optimization is the best, which meets the requirements of low-carbon processing, low-cost, and sustainable production.
