Microscopic imaging of uneven surfaces is difficult because of the limited depth of field. In this study, we developed a rapid auto-focus method for uneven surfaces based on image fusion. The Prewitt operator was used to detect the vertical edges of the images. Then, the focus position was theoretically calculated using a Gaussian function, and image fusion was applied to obtain the final in-focus image. An experiment was designed to verify the developed method. The results revealed that this method is effective for printed circuit boards.

Optimization of Flexible Rotor for Ultrasonic Motor Based on Response Surface and Genetic Algorithm.
Micromachines (Basel)
December 2024
School of Intelligent Equipment, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Tai'an 271019, China.
The flexible rotor, as a crucial component of the traveling wave rotary ultrasonic motor, effectively reduces radial friction. However, issues such as uneven contact between the stator and rotor, as well as rotor-deformation-induced stress, still persist. This paper presents an optimization method that combines the Kriging response surface model with a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA).

Background: Despite the fact that an increasing number of studies have focused on developing therapies for acute lung injury, managing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a challenge in intensive care medicine. Whether the pathology of animal models with acute lung injury in prior studies differed from clinical symptoms of ARDS, resulting in questionable management for human ARDS. To evaluate precisely the therapeutic effect of transplanted stem cells or medications on acute lung injury, we developed an animal model of severe ARDS with lower lung function, capable of keeping the experimental animals survive with consistent reproducibility.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the feasibility of computer model-based evaluation of knee joint functional capacity in comparison with manual assessment.
Methods: This study consisted of two phases: (1) developing an automatic knee joint action recognition and classification system on the basis of improved YOLOX and (2) analyzing the feasibility of assessment by the software system and doctors, identifying the knee joint function of patients, and determining the accuracy of the software system. We collected 40-50 samples for use in clinical experiments.
In situ formation of LiN interlayer enhancing interfacial stability of solid-state lithium batteries.
J Colloid Interface Sci
January 2025
School of Chemical & Environmental Engineering, China University of Mining and Technology-Beijing, Beijing 100083, PR China. Electronic address:
The uneven deposition of lithium ions has raised safety concerns related to the growth of lithium dendrites on the surface of lithium metal batteries. In this work, an in situ formed LiN interlayer is introduced to regulate the deposition of lithium ions on the lithium metal surface effectively. The LiN interlayer is formed on the lithium metal surface by the reaction of nitrogen gas (N) released from the reaction layer at a specific temperature.

Inspired by our recent success in designing CO-phobic and CO-philic domains on nano-MgO for effective CO adsorption, our ongoing efforts focus on incorporating dopants into pristine MgO to further enhance its CO adsorption capabilities. However, a clear set of guidelines for dopant selection and a holistic understanding of the underlying mechanisms is still lacking. In our investigation, we combined first-principles calculations with experimental approaches to explore the crystal and electronic structural changes in MgO doped with high-valence elements (Al, C, Si, and Ti) and their interactions with CO.
