A new type of rigid-flexible coupling three degrees of freedom (3-DOF) micro-positioning platform with high positioning accuracy and high bearing capacity is developed, which consists of flexible drive mechanism and rigid platform. The flexible drive mechanism consists of three sets of symmetrical parallel round flexible hinge structures, each with a wedge structure in the middle of the symmetrical parallel flexible hinge. The rigid platform has an inclined plane with the same angle as the wedge, while the wedge structure is used to achieve the self-locking effect. The flexibility matrix method and ANSYS are used to analyze the statics of the flexible drive mechanism. The first four natural frequencies of the platform are obtained by dynamic simulation analysis. A symmetrical rigid flexible coupling micro-positioning platform experimental system is developed. Output characteristics, positioning accuracy, relationship between frequency and amplitude, and bearing performance of the micro-positioning platform are tested. These experimental results obviously show that the micro-positioning platform has good motion characteristics, high positioning accuracy, large movement distance, and large load bearing capacity performance.

Positioning accuracy of a pneumatic piston drive with flexible coupling between the piston and rod is considered. Improved positioning was expected due to the fact that the rod friction is usually considerably less than the piston friction. When the piston stops under the action of its friction force the rod continues the motion, providing the precision positioning of the output link. A mathematical model of a positioning pneumatic piston drive with two degrees of freedom was generated. Computer simulation of the performance of short and long strokes showed the feasibility of the improved positioning which provided design and control parameter optimization.

In laparoscopic surgery, many problems are due to the poor degrees of freedom (DOF) of movement in controlling the forceps and laparoscopes. This paper proposes a new flexible laparoscopic forceps manipulator using synchronous belt drive mechanism, which consist of two miniaturized parts, synchronous belt drive mechanism enables independent bending procedure from-90° to 90° at the tip of forceps, and friction wheel mechanism which provides pivoting motion of forceps around incision hole on the abdomen. This mechanism is simple with high rigidity and can easily be miniaturized. The most remarkable characteristics of the prototype described in this paper are: 1) the casing diameter of the forceps is 5 mm; 2) with high rigidity and the repeatability positioning accuracy was 0.5o in bending motion; 3) pure mechanical structure with simple operation and low cost. This manipulator can solve the conflicts and blockings in laparoscopic surgery by switching back and forceps towards, meanwhile, it eliminates the surgical doctor’s fatigue and enhances the precision of surgery with higher effectiveness and safety as well.

This paper presents a new type of sorting system by magnetic microtools (MMT) separating particles into multiple channels. Two nickel-based MMTs are activated by commercially available permanent magnets below the biochip to lead particles to certain channels via fluid force. The horizontally assembled permanent magnet drive we developed shows that the MMT positioning accuracy had been improved 5 times in 2 degrees of freedom. The channel and the MMT shape are determined based on FEM analysis to ensure that particles flow smoothly. We have successfully achieved to sort 100 µm diameter microbeads into 7 branched channels. The noncontact drive and disposable chip provide a less invasive environment for the cell with low cost.

AbstractThe noncircular synchronous belt drive mechanism has demonstrated certain achievements and has been used in special fields. Research regarding noncircular synchronous belt drive mechanisms has focused on optimization design and kinematic analysis in China, whereas two pulley noncircular synchronous belt transmissions have been developed overseas. However, owing to the noncircular characteristics of the belt pulley, the real-time variation in the belt length slack during the transmission of the noncircular synchronous belt is significant, resulting in high probabilities of skipping and vibration. In this study, a noncircular tensioning pulley is added to create a stable three-pulley noncircular synchronous belt driving mechanism and a good synchronous belt tensioning, with no skipping; hence, the non-uniform output characteristic of the driven pulley is consistent with the theoretical value. In the circular noncircular noncircular three-pulley noncircular synchronous belt mechanism, the pitch curve of the driving synchronous belt pulley is circular, whereas those of the driven synchronous belt and tensioning pulleys are noncircular. To minimize the slack of the belt length of the synchronous belt and the constraint of the concavity and circumference of the tensioning pulley, an automatic optimization model of the tensioning pulley pitch curve is established. The motion simulation, analysis, and optimization code for a three-belt-pulley noncircular synchronous belt drive mechanism is written, and the variation in belt length slack under different speed ratios is analyzed based on several examples. The testbed for a circular–noncircular–noncircular three-pulley noncircular synchronous belt transmission mechanism is developed. The test shows that the three-pulley noncircular synchronous belt drives well. This study proposes an automatic optimization algorithm for the tensioning pulley pitch curve of a noncircular synchronous belt transmission mechanism; it yields a stable transmission of the noncircular synchronous belt transmission mechanism as well as non-uniform output characteristics.

Highly efficient training is a must in professional sports. Presently, this means doing exercises in high number and quality with some sort of data logging. In American football many things are logged, but there is no wearable sensor that logs a catch or a drop. Therefore, the goal of this paper was to develop and verify a sensor that is able to do exactly that. In a first step a sensor platform was used to gather nine degrees of freedom motion and audio data of both hands in 759 attempts to catch a pass. After preprocessing, the gathered data was used to train a neural network to classify all attempts, resulting in a classification accuracy of 93%. Additionally, the significance of each sensor signal was analysed. It turned out that the network relies most on acceleration and magnetometer data, neglecting most of the audio and gyroscope data. Besides the results, the paper introduces a new type of dataset and the possibility of autonomous training in American football to the research community.

Aimed at existing problems on the bending performance of pneumatic bending joint, a new type of pneumatic bending joint is proposed in this paper. Double flexible pneumatic actuators are used as actuating drivers. Based on the first law of thermodynamics and the joint dynamic equation, the angle dynamic model is established and analyzed. Moreover simplified model is proposed. Meanwhile, its dynamic characteristic is analyzed through simulation analysis. The simulation suggests the following results: in the gas-filled phase, the joint’s pressure response time is about 10ms; while it is about 60ms in the gas-escape phase; and the angle response time of joint is 10 to 20ms. When the joint damping coefficient is increasing, this value will also increase.

Many models beyond the Standard Model, motivated by the recent astrophysical anomalies, predict a new type of weak-interacting degrees of freedom. Typical models include the possibility of the low-mass dark gauge bosons of a few GeV and thus making them accessible at the BESIII experiment running at the tau-charm region. The BESIII has recently searched such dark bosons in several decay modes using the high statistics data set collected at charmonium resonaces. This talk will summarize the recent BESIII results of these dark photon searches and related new physics studies.
