A master equation of the two nanospheres is derived by employing quantum state diffusion method. It is shown that the nonlinear coupling can improve the non-Markovianity. Due to the sharing of the common non-Markovian environment, the state transfer between the two nanospheres can be realized. The entanglement and the squeezing of the individual mode, as well as the jointed two-mode are analyzed. The present system can be realized by trapping two nanospheres in a wideband cavity, which might provide a method to study adjustable non-Markovian dynamics of mechanical motion.展开更多

The analytical torque model is obtained based on the principle of a planar variable-capacitance electrostatic motor while the viscous damping caused by air film between the stator and rotor is derived using laminar Couette flow model. Simulation results of the closed-loop drive motor, based on the developed dynamic model after eliminating mechanical friction torque via electrostatic suspension, are presented. The effects of the high-voltage drive, required for rotation of the rotor, on overload capacity and suspension stiffness of the electrostatic bearing system are also analytically evaluated in an effort to determine allowable drive voltage and attainable rotor speed in operation. The analytical results show that maximum speed of the micromotor is limited mainly by viscous drag torque and stiffness of the bearing system. Therefore, it is expected to operate the device in vacuum so as to increase the rotor speed significantly, especially for those electrostatically levitated micromotors to be used as an angular rate micro-gyroscope.展开更多

In this article, the transient response characteristics, including the levitated height of an object with radius of 24 mm and thickness of 5 mm, the radial velocity and pressure difference of gas at the boundary of clearance between the levitated object and radiating surface （squeeze film）, is calculated according to severa/velocity amplitudes of radiating surface. First, the basic equations in fluid areas on Arbitrary Lagrange--Euler （ALE） form are numericaJly solved by using streamline upwind petrov gaJerkin （SUPG） finite elements method. Second, the formed a/gebraic equations and solid control equations are solved by using synchronous alternating method to gain the transient messages of the levitated object and gas in the squeeze film. Through theoretical and numerical analyses, it is found that there is a oscillation time in the transient process and that the response time does not simply increase with the increasing of velocity amplitudes of radiating surface. More investigations in this paper are helpful for the understanding of the transient properties of levitated object in NFAL, which are in favor of enhancing stabilities and responsiveness of levitated object.展开更多

Free-Space optical communications allows for larger bandwidths for lower relative power consumption, smaller size and weight when compared to the microwave equivalent. However optical communication does have a formidable challenge that needs to be overcome before the advantages of the technology can be fully utilized. In order for the communication to be successful the transmitter and receiver terminals need to be pointed with a high accuracy (generally in the order of ≤10 μradians) for the duration of communication. In this paper we present a new concept for the precise pointing of optical communications terminals (termed the Precise Pointing Mechanism). In this new concept we combine the separate pointing mechanisms of a conventional optical terminal into a single mechanism, reducing the complexity and cost of the optical bench. This is achieved by electromagnetically actuating the whole telescope assembly in 6 degrees-of-freedom with an angular resolution of less than ±3 μradians within a 10 (Az. El.) field of view and linear resolution of ±2 μm. This paper presents the new pointing mechanism and discusses the modelling, simulation and experimental work undertaken using the bespoke engineering model developed.展开更多

It consists of stator and mover, and the mover is isolated from the stator by the magnetic beating. The magnetic bearing in the stator is composed of eight air core electromagnet coils, the propulsion in the stator is composed of iron core and electromagnetic coils, and the mover is composed of NdFeB permanent magnets and levitated stage. Based on Lorentz law, some parameters, including permanent magnets dimensions, currents and levitation height, which may affect the stability, are analyzed and optimized. To improve the positioning accuracy in the vertical direction of the magnetic levitation surface motor, a robust controller is proposed using H∞ mixed sensitivity control theory. The simulation results show that by choosing appropriate weight functions, the controller can ensure the robustness of the closed loop system under the presence of uncertainties, and the H∞ robust controller is excellent for reducing steady error and increasing response speed.展开更多

Yet the electromagnetic forces/torques corresponding to six degrees of freedom（DOF） motions have coupling relationship with each current of coil array, and this coupling is still associated with the relative positions between the mover and the stator of the stage. So it is quite difficult to control the 6-DOF motions of the stage. By reasonable commutation of coil array, this complicated coupling relationship can be decoupled. The analytical force/torque-decomposing model of the stage is established first. Then the initial currents of coil array are commutated based on the pseudo inverse of the analytical force/torque-decomposing model matrix. And then the coil array currents are commutated again with different current bounds given to the initial currents as well as in the sense of minimum 2-norm of currents vector. Using the long stroke magnetically levitated stage with moving coils under investigation as examples, the currents of coil array are commutated with different current bounds adopting the proposed commutation method, the determination of current bound and the current bounds＇ influences on the heat-losses in coil array are analyzed, and the effectiveness of implementation algorithm of proposed commutation method is discussed. Simulation, analysis and discussion results indicate that the currents of coil array within the given current bound can be solved analytically by proposed commutation method, and the implementation algorithm does not need any searching or iteration. By the current-bounded commutation method proposed, the amplitude of coil array currents can be limited within an appropriate current bound（This is very beneficial to the improvement of the reliability and motion performance of the stage）, as well as these currents can also generate the desired forces and torques.展开更多

Three-dimensional finite element analysis was possible to simulate the experimental results. In the seismic response analysis of a full-scale detached house, the seismic-isolated model showed response reduction and its residual displacement was smaller than that of the sliding-base isolation model.展开更多

In this work, we demonstrate a magnetically levitated/piezoelectric/triboelectric hybrid generator, which does not use complex structure and has high steady output performance. It includes three parts: magnetically levitated generator(MLG), piezoelectric generator(PNG), triboelectric nanogenerator(TENG). The peak power of each is 135 μW, 22 mW and3.6 mW, which are obtained at 1 MΩ, 10 kΩ and 1 kΩ, respectively. The hybrid generator can completely light up light-emitting diodes(LEDs) under the vibration frequency of 20 Hz and the vibration amplitude of 10 mm. It also can charge a 470 μF capacitor.On this basis, we have integrated the hybrid generaor as a power supply into a self-powered tempreature sensing system. The combination of three generators can not only broaden the operating range, but also increase the operating length and sensitivity.This work will extend the application of self-powered sensor in automatic production line and promote the development of industrial control technology.展开更多

From the experimental data, the membrane capacitance of the single protoplast which was 0.40±0.03μF/cm^2 has been obtained and the dipole interaction of two protoplasts in electrofusion has also been analysed. When the external electric field E_c=1.5kV/cm was applied and the frequency was higher than 20 kHz, the dipole interaction pressure ~πd would be much larger than the membrane potential pressure ~πm, and the pressure ~πd could be the main reason for membraue pores. This conclusion will provide a new basis to improve the protocol of cell electrofusion.展开更多

These oscillations are recorded by a high speed camera and analyzed with a digital image processing method. They are demonstrated to be the third mode sectorial oscillations, and their frequencies are found to decrease with the increase of equatorial radius of the drops, which can be described by a modified Rayleigh equation. These oscillations decay exponentially after the cessation of ultrasound field modulation. The decaying rates agree reasonably with Lamb’s prediction. The rotating rate of the drops accompanying the shape oscillations is found to be less than 1.5 rounds per second. The surface tension of aqueous ethanol has been measured according to the modified Rayleigh equation. The results agree well with previous reports, which demonstrates the possible application of this kind of sectorial oscillations in noncontact measurement of liquid surface tension.展开更多

When operating in orbit, the platform and payload are non-connected and spatially levitated. By separately arranging the “noisy” and “quiet” devices, the complicated influence of platform vibration on the payload pointing direction is effectively avoided. Using the novel master-slave collaborative control method, the pointing accuracy and stability of the payload are improved considerably. In this paper, the basic principles, overall scheme, control method, and engineering implementation of a levitated-body satellite platform are discussed.Combined with the CHASE mission in-orbit data, the actual attitude pointing precision and stability of a levitated-body satellite platform are analyzed and evaluated.展开更多

Simulation results of the closed-loop drive motor, based on the developed dynamic model after eliminating mechanical friction torque via electrostatic suspension, are presented. The effects of the high-voltage drive, required for rotation of the rotor, on overload capacity and suspension stiffness of the electrostatic bearing system are also analytically evaluated in an effort to determine allowable drive voltage and attainable rotor speed in operation. The analytical results show that maximum speed of the micromotor is limited mainly by viscous drag torque and stiffness of the bearing system. Therefore, it is expected to operate the device in vacuum so as to increase the rotor speed significantly, especially for those electrostatically levitated micromotors to be used as an angular rate micro-gyroscope.

More investigations in this paper are helpful for the understanding of the transient properties of levitated object in NFAL, which are in favor of enhancing stabilities and responsiveness of levitated object.
文摘Increasing data bandwidth requirements from spacecraft systems is beginning to pressure existing microwave communications systems. Free-Space optical communications allows for larger bandwidths for lower relative power consumption, smaller size and weight when compared to the microwave equivalent. However optical communication does have a formidable challenge that needs to be overcome before the advantages of the technology can be fully utilized. In order for the communication to be successful the transmitter and receiver terminals need to be pointed with a high accuracy (generally in the order of ≤10 μradians) for the duration of communication. In this paper we present a new concept for the precise pointing of optical communications terminals (termed the Precise Pointing Mechanism). In this new concept we combine the separate pointing mechanisms of a conventional optical terminal into a single mechanism, reducing the complexity and cost of the optical bench. This is achieved by electromagnetically actuating the whole telescope assembly in 6 degrees-of-freedom with an angular resolution of less than ±3 μradians within a 10 (Az. El.) field of view and linear resolution of ±2 μm. This paper presents the new pointing mechanism and discusses the modelling, simulation and experimental work undertaken using the bespoke engineering model developed.

Simulation, analysis and discussion results indicate that the currents of coil array within the given current bound can be solved analytically by proposed commutation method, and the implementation algorithm does not need any searching or iteration. By the current-bounded commutation method proposed, the amplitude of coil array currents can be limited within an appropriate current bound（This is very beneficial to the improvement of the reliability and motion performance of the stage）, as well as these currents can also generate the desired forces and torques.

In this paper, we explore the possibility and efficacy of a seismic-isolated detached house as described above from both a shaking table experiment of model and three-dimensional finite element analysis. The seismic-isolated model showed stable response and its acceleration response was significantly reduced compared to the base-fixed model in the shaking table test. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was possible to simulate the experimental results. In the seismic response analysis of a full-scale detached house, the seismic-isolated model showed response reduction and its residual displacement was smaller than that of the sliding-base isolation model.

文摘Optically levitated oscillators in high vacuum have excellent environmental isolation and low mass compared with conventional solid-state sensors,which makes them suitable for ultrasensitive force detection.The force resolution usually scales with the measurement bandwidth,which represents the ultimate detection capability of the system under ideal conditions if sufficient time is provided for measurement.However,considering the stability of a real system,a method based on the Allan variance is more reliable to evaluate the actual force detection performance.In this study,a levitated optomechanical system with a force detection sensitivity of 6.33±1.62 zN/Hz^(1/2)was demonstrated.And for the first time,the Allan variance was introduced to evaluate the system stability due to the force sensitivity fluctuations.The force detection resolution of 166.40±55.48 yN was reached at the optimal measurement time of 2751 s.The system demonstrated in this work has the best force detection performance in both sensitivity and resolution that have been reported so far for optically levitated particles.The reported high-sensitivity force detection system is an excellent candidate for the exploration of new physics such as fifth force searching,high-frequency gravitational waves detection,dark matter research and so on.

文摘The combination of new intelligent materials and structure technology is becoming an effective way in energy havesting and self-powered sensing. In this work, we demonstrate a magnetically levitated/piezoelectric/triboelectric hybrid generator, which does not use complex structure and has high steady output performance. It includes three parts: magnetically levitated generator(MLG), piezoelectric generator(PNG), triboelectric nanogenerator(TENG). The peak power of each is 135 μW, 22 mW and3.6 mW, which are obtained at 1 MΩ, 10 kΩ and 1 kΩ, respectively. The hybrid generator can completely light up light-emitting diodes(LEDs) under the vibration frequency of 20 Hz and the vibration amplitude of 10 mm. It also can charge a 470 μF capacitor.On this basis, we have integrated the hybrid generaor as a power supply into a self-powered tempreature sensing system. The combination of three generators can not only broaden the operating range, but also increase the operating length and sensitivity.This work will extend the application of self-powered sensor in automatic production line and promote the development of industrial control technology.

文摘<正> In this paper, we have utilized the principle of dielectrophoresis to determine the dielectrophoretic spectra of single levitated tobacco leaf protoplast at various suspending media conductivities (12.5 μS/cm-520 μS/cm) over wide frequencies (10 Hz—15 MHz). From the experimental data, the membrane capacitance of the single protoplast which was 0.40±0.03μF/cm^2 has been obtained and the dipole interaction of two protoplasts in electrofusion has also been analysed. When the external electric field E_c=1.5kV/cm was applied and the frequency was higher than 20 kHz, the dipole interaction pressure ~πd would be much larger than the membrane potential pressure ~πm, and the pressure ~πd could be the main reason for membraue pores. This conclusion will provide a new basis to improve the protocol of cell electrofusion.

文摘A type of non-axisymmetric oscillations of acoustically levitated drops is excited by modulating the ultrasound field at proper frequencies. These oscillations are recorded by a high speed camera and analyzed with a digital image processing method. They are demonstrated to be the third mode sectorial oscillations, and their frequencies are found to decrease with the increase of equatorial radius of the drops, which can be described by a modified Rayleigh equation. These oscillations decay exponentially after the cessation of ultrasound field modulation. The decaying rates agree reasonably with Lamb’s prediction. The rotating rate of the drops accompanying the shape oscillations is found to be less than 1.5 rounds per second. The surface tension of aqueous ethanol has been measured according to the modified Rayleigh equation. The results agree well with previous reports, which demonstrates the possible application of this kind of sectorial oscillations in noncontact measurement of liquid surface tension.

文摘The CHASE satellite is designed based on the novel ultra-high pointing accuracy and stability levitated-body satellite platform,which breaks the traditional idea of rigidly connecting the satellite platform and payload. When operating in orbit, the platform and payload are non-connected and spatially levitated. By separately arranging the “noisy” and “quiet” devices, the complicated influence of platform vibration on the payload pointing direction is effectively avoided. Using the novel master-slave collaborative control method, the pointing accuracy and stability of the payload are improved considerably. In this paper, the basic principles, overall scheme, control method, and engineering implementation of a levitated-body satellite platform are discussed.Combined with the CHASE mission in-orbit data, the actual attitude pointing precision and stability of a levitated-body satellite platform are analyzed and evaluated.
