The classification and new trends of shared control strategies in telerobotic systems: A survey
Shared control, which permits a human operator and an autonomous controller to share the control of a telerobotic system, can reduce the operator's workload and/or improve performances during the execution of tasks. Due to the great benefits of combining the human intelligence with the higher power/precision abilities of robots, the shared control architecture occupies a wide spectrum among telerobotic systems. Although various shared control strategies have been proposed, a systematic overview to tease out the relation among different strategies is still absent. This survey, therefore, aims to provide a big picture for existing shared control strategies. To achieve this, we propose a categorization method and classify the shared control strategies into 3 categories: Semi-Autonomous control (SAC), State-Guidance Shared Control (SGSC), and State-Fusion Shared Control (SFSC), according to the different sharing ways between human operators and autonomous controllers. The typical scenarios in using each category are listed and the advantages/disadvantages and open issues of each category are discussed. Then, based on the overview of the existing strategies, new trends in shared control strategies, including the “autonomy from learning” and the “autonomy-levels adaptation,” are summarized and discussed
Influences of preparation process on the properties of high amylose corn starch-stearic acid complex
[Objective] This study aimed to establish a preparation process for starch-lipid complex with high resistant starch (RS) content and to explore the effects of process parameters on the anti-digestibility of the complex. [Methods] Using RS content as the indicator, one-way experimental and orthogonal designs were employed to study the effects of temperature and time parameters during the pretreatment of high amylose corn starch (HA) and its complexation with stearic acid (SA). The physicochemical properties, anti-digestibility, and hydration characteristics of the HA-SA complex prepared by the optimal process were analyzed. [Results] Increasing pretreatment temperature in the gelatinization temperature range, prolonging the pre-treatment time, and complexing temperature above 75 ℃ all led to a significant decrease in RS content of HA-SA (P<0.05). The optimal process was as following: HA being pretreated at an annealing temperature of 85 ℃ for 12 h, and then complexed with SA at 75 ℃ for 90 min. The prepared HA-SA showed the V-type crystalline pattern and entire starch granules shape, and was characterized as the type I complex. It also presented the significantly enhanced thermal stability, bettered anti-digestibility, and lowered swelling power than HA (P<0.05). [Conclusion] Annealing temperature pretreatment and optimal complexation temperature favored to prepare the starch-lipid complex with higher anti-digestibility and entire granule structure. Excessive thermal strength during pretreatment causing excessive gelatinization could impede the formation of RS in the complexes. And a complexation temperature over 75 ℃ led to the disassociation of the complexation, decreasing the RS content. Annealing pretreatment preserved the entire starch granule of HA, which was one of the reasons for the higher digestibility of HA-SA
PSR J1926-0652: A Pulsar with Interesting Emission Properties Discovered at FAST
We describe PSR J1926-0652, a pulsar recently discovered with the
Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). Using sensitive
single-pulse detections from FAST and long-term timing observations from the
Parkes 64-m radio telescope, we probed phenomena on both long and short time
scales. The FAST observations covered a wide frequency range from 270 to 800
MHz, enabling individual pulses to be studied in detail. The pulsar exhibits at
least four profile components, short-term nulling lasting from 4 to 450 pulses,
complex subpulse drifting behaviours and intermittency on scales of tens of
minutes. While the average band spacing P3 is relatively constant across
different bursts and components, significant variations in the separation of
adjacent bands are seen, especially near the beginning and end of a burst. Band
shapes and slopes are quite variable, especially for the trailing components
and for the shorter bursts. We show that for each burst the last detectable
pulse prior to emission ceasing has different properties compared to other
pulses. These complexities pose challenges for the classic carousel-type
models.Comment: 13pages with 12 figure
Comparison of Consumer and Service Provider Perception of E- Invoicing
The constant low adoption rate of e-invoicing in the B2C area has raised questions and concens from some researchers lately. The purpose of this thesis is to determine the reasons behind the low adoption rate by gaining an understanding of consumer perceptions and experiences about e-invoicing. The thesis focuses on consumers as potential adopters in Finland. This study aims to understand how much consumers know and what they think about e-invoicing. The reasearch also tries to find out how well services providers know their customers.
Available literature related to the topic is scarce. For this reason, the qualitative research method was chosen as the research methodology for this research. Face-to-face interviews were used for gathering primary data.
The results revealed that consumers on the one hand have rather limited knowledge and have uncertainties towards e-invoicing. On the other hand, consumers have positive feelings in general and possibly start to use e-invoicing later. The results also showed that service providers do not fully understand their customers. There are some common beliefs between consumers and service providers, but there are also disagreements on certain issues
Research on Pressurizer Pressure Control Based on Adaptive Prediction Algorithm
According to the high control quality requirements of nuclear power plants and the features of the pressurizer pressure with large inertia, time-varying, nonlinear, multi-interference, difficulty in obtaining accurate mathematical model, and open-loop unstable dynamic characteristic, the advanced control strategy is needed for pressurizer pressure control performance optimization. To tackle the problem, an adaptive predictive control method for pressurizer pressure is devised in this paper. Firstly, the non-self-regulating system is stabilized and the adaptive dynamic matrix controller is designed by identifying the controlled object online. In order to realize the engineering application for this controller, then the control signal output is obtained. Finally, the control system simulation platform is built. Simulation results reveal a superior control performance, disturbance rejection, and adaptability. Furthermore, it provides a solution for the application of dynamic matrix control algorithm in non-self-regulating system

Three-Dimensional Au/Holey-Graphene as Efficient Electrochemical Interface for Simultaneous Determination of Ascorbic Acid, Dopamine and Uric Acid
The quantification of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA) has been an important area of research, as these molecules’ determination directly corresponds to the diagnosis and control of diseases of nerve and brain physiology. In our research, graphene oxide (GO) with nano pores deposited with gold nanoparticles were self-assembled to form three-dimensional (3D) Au/holey-graphene oxide (Au/HGO) composite structures. The as-prepared 3DAu/HGO composite structures were characterized for their structures by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectrum, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy coupled with cyclic voltammograms. Finally, the proposed 3DAu/HGO displayed high sensitivity, excellent electron transport properties, and selectivity for the simultaneous electrochemical determination of AA, DA and UA with linear response ranges of 1.0⁻500 μM, 0.01⁻50 μM and 0.05⁻50 μM respectively. This finding paves the way for graphene applications as a biosensor for detecting three analytes in human serum
