A 5-DOF exoskeletal rehabilitation arm for hemiplegic upper limbs is developed with passive and active interactive exercise control strategy. In passive exercise, surface electromyogram (sEMG) of hemiplegic patients' healthy limbs are extracted to control the arm because they are impaired unilaterally in general. AR model and BP neural network are used to understand the patient's motion intention in order to actuate the arm. Then, it can assist disabled arm to implement preprogrammed motions. In active exercise, the torque of each joint is used to estimate the force caused by limbs' movement in real-time. Terminal velocity is controlled with proportional controller and Jacobian inverse matrix to drive each joint. Test results prove the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method.

An integrated micro positioning xy-stage with a 2 mm × 2 mm-area shuttle is fabricated for application in nanometer-scale operation and nanometric positioning precision. It is mainly composed of a silicon-based xy-stage, electrostatics comb actuator, and a displacement sensor based on a vertical sidewall surface piezoresistor. They are all in a monolithic chip and developed using double-sided bulk-micromachining technology. The high-aspect-ratio comb-driven xy-stage is achieved by deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) in both sides of the wafer. The detecting piezoresistor is located at the vertical sidewall surface of the detecting beam to improve the sensitivity and displacement resolution of the piezoresistive sensors using the DRIE technology combined with the ion implantation technology. The experimental results verify the integrated micro positioning xy-stage design including the micro xy-stage, electrostatics comb actuator, and the vertical side-wall surface piezoresistor technique. The sensitivity of the fabricated piezoresistive sensors is better than 1.17 mV/μm without amplification and the linearity is better than 0.814%. Under 30V driving voltage, a ±10m single-axis displacement is measured without crosstalk and the resonant frequency is measured at 983Hz in air.

Energy harvesting with the piezoelectric cantilever was studied under vibration environment. A theoretical model of piezoelectric cantilever was developed to determine the magnitude of power. The results predicted by the theoretical model were validated by the experimental data. Compared with the rectangular layer piezoelectric cantilever, the trapezoidal piezoelectric cantilever generated higher power with the same force and the volume of PZT. A maximal output power of about 24.2 mW can be obtained from the trapezoidal piezoelectric cantilever at the operating frequency of 130 Hz across a resistive load of 80kOmega with a cyclic stress of 1N.

A composite two-dimension ultrasonic vibration system with parallel structure is presented in this paper for the wire bonding application. Compared with other conventional structures, this one uses the structure of the clamping beam, weakening the horizontal deflection stiffness, instead of the clamping ring, which weakens the coupling effects existing in most parallel structures. By means of the self-locking wedge, the piezoelectric ceramics are effectively preload. The length of the horn is optimized according to the relationship between the magnification ratio and the ratio of the horn length. Through the vibration characteristic analysis and FEA verification, it is proved that this parallel structure can increase the composite output amplitude of the ultrasonic horn and the density of ultrasonic energy, and can complete the bonding at a larger area range so that it will shorten the bonding time and improve the bonding efficiency.

Wastes yielded in the vintage process and the biological fermentation of itaconic acid and sodium gluconate of a winery in Shandong, such as grain stillage, melon lees, cornstarch protein residues, itacanic acid mother liquid, itaconic acid mycelium and sodium gluconate mycelium, were studied. High-activity biological protein feed, foliar fertilizer and irrigation fertilizer were generated from these wastes by applying biological/microbial technologies. Meanwhile, a whole set of technological pathways was put forward. As a result, the optimal economical and social benefits can be obtained with low natural resource consumption and environmental costs by converting wastes into useful matters. In conclusion, through the utilization of limited resources in the whole process of reclamation and utilization of wastes, the harmony promotion can be achieved between the economic system and the natural ecosystem.

A cylindrical ultrasonic motor using bending transducer was proposed in this paper. The stator components of proposed motor contain a cylinder and four bending transducers, and the four uniform bending transducers are set on the exterior surface of cylinder. The bending of transducers is excited by the longitudinal vibration of PZT ceramics. The four transducers are excited with two different groups of signal, and two bending vibrations are generated on the cylinder. When the amplitude of two bending vibrations is equal, and their phase difference on time and space is pi/2, a traveling wave is formed on the cylinder. Thus, an elliptical motion is achieved at the particle on the tooth. And the frictional force between rotor and stator is the driving force to realize the rotation motion of rotor. The PZT ceramics work with d33 mode, which have high electromechanical coupling efficiency and could improve the output characteristics. The working principle of proposed motor was analyzed. The cylinder and transducers were designed with FEM. The sensitive parameters of resonance frequency of transducer and cylinder were gained with modal analysis. The bending resonance frequency of transducers and cylinder were degenerated, and the motion trajectories of nodes on the teeth were analyzed. The result of transient analysis shows that the trajectory of node on the tooth is nearly an ellipse. The results of this paper could be useful in the development of this new type of motor.
