Order Spectrum Analysis for Bearing Fault Detection via Joint Application of Synchrosqueezing Transform and Multiscale Chirplet Path Pursuit by Jiesi Luo, Shaohui Zhang, Mingen Zhong, Zusheng Lin

“…The transient phase is usually obtained by integrating the instantaneous frequency (IF), so the IF estimation has attracted a great deal of concerns. This article describes a new IF estimation method based on the joint application of the synchrosqueezing transform (SST) and the multiscale chirplet path pursuit (MSCPP) method. …”

Method of Depression Classification Based on Behavioral and Physiological Signals of Eye Movement by Mi Li, Lei Cao, Qian Zhai, Peng Li, Sa Liu, Richeng Li, Lei Feng, Gang Wang, Bin Hu, Shengfu Lu

“…The results show that, on the one hand, the classification performance based on the fusion features of eye movement behavior and physiological signals is better than using a single behavior feature and a single physiological feature; on the other hand, compared with previous methods, the proposed method for depression recognition achieves better classification results. This study is of great value for the establishment of an automatic depression diagnosis system for clinical use.…”

Productivity and Nutritive Quality of Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) as Influenced by Commercial Fertilizer, Broiler Litter, and Interseeded White Clover (Trifolium repens) by Sandra L. Dillard, Laura E. Sturgeon, Walter F. Owsley, C. Wesley Wood, James L. Holliman, Russell B. Muntifering

“…In the southeastern USA, there is an abundance of broiler litter from commercial poultry production that is available for use as fertilizer, but cropland and pastureland amended with broiler litter often exhibit greatly increased soil-test P. We evaluated productivity and nutritive quality of Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) that was interseeded with or without white clover (Trifolium repens) and which commercial fertilizer (ammonium nitrate and diammonium phosphate) or broiler litter was applied on the basis of soil-test P; broiler litter was supplemented with ammonium nitrate to be isonitrogenous with commercial fertilizer. …”

800 kV交流隔离开关的机构运动分析及平衡弹簧优化设计 by 孙玉洲, 李付永, 郭海涛, 王巧红, 夏立国, 师丽芳, 刘本学, 柴影辉

“…800 kV AC disconnector is one of the key equipment for extra high voltage（ EHV） substation,and the balance spring is an important component to reduce external load and improve equipment reliability.Aiming at 800 kV EHV disconnector,the mechanism kinematic analysis of main knife mechanism is completed based on the motion diagram,and the theoretical equation of the structural potential energy for disconnector is obtained.Then,the dynamic simulation analysis model of disconnector is established in ADAMS through virtual prototype technology.The difference between the elastic potential energy of the balance spring and the potential energy of the mechanism under the initial design condition is simulated.In order to further narrow the gap between the spring energy and the gravitational potential energy,this paper optimizes the spring system design.The simulation results show that the max-gap change between the optimal balance spring potential energy and the mechanism potential energy is reduced by about 28% than that of the initial.When the disconnector works,the external load required is greatly reduced.…”
