基于新型摆线包络行星减速器的电动轮毂 by 陈治宇, 梁栋, 李朝阳

“…Nowadays the technology of electric wheel is widely used in new energy vehicles.An electric wheel based on a new type of cycloid envelope planetary reducer is proposed.The PM brushless DC motor is selected as a power source.The cycloid envelope planetary reducer with high load capacity,small volume and high stiffness is the main drive device.The overall design of motor-driving device-wheel housing is realized.The main meshing pair of this high performance cycloid reducer with floating disc type output mechanism is composed of cycloid gear and double-envelope internal gear.The meshing and tooth profile equations of cycloid double-envelope internal gear are respectively derived.The characteristic of secondary action during the engagement process is demonstrated.This developed electric wheel based on the cycloid envelope planetary reducer has the characteristics of large overload capacity,small volume,high integration and low manufacturing cost.It can be applied to electric vehicles and achieve the function of single-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.…”

Mito Stress Assay of PBMCs With Seahorse XFe96 Flux Analyzer and Comparison of Poly-D-Lysine and Poly-L-Lysine for Cell Affinity by Kumudu Subasinghe, R. Berry III, Megan Rowe, Ali Winters, Shaohua Yang, Nicole Phillips

“…Recent studies have suggested that these cell populations provide an overview of systemic changes within the body and therefore provide a source of sensitive biomarkers. Assessing mitochondrial function in PBMCs has been shown to provide an indication of metabolic stress associated with diseases such as diabetes and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. …”

Granular analysis of pathways to care and durations of untreated psychosis: A marginal delay model. by Walter S Mathis, Maria Ferrara, Shadie Burke, Emily Hyun, Fangyong Li, Bin Zhou, John Cahill, Emily R Kline, Matcheri S Keshavan, Vinod H Srihari

“…Marginal-delay, or the portion of overall delay attributable to a specific node, was computed as the number of days between the start dates of contiguous nodes on the PTC. Sources of delay within the network of care were quantified and patient characteristic (sex, age, race, income, insurance, living, education, employment, and function) influences on such delays were analyzed via bivariate and mixed model testing.…”
