Irse quedando en el cine y los libros by Joaquín Manzi

“…In order to explore the tensions that define the filmmaker-writer practices, this paper approaches Jorge Dana’s novel Bicho de luz (2012) by comparing film and writing. Reluctant to assume the unstable and elusive label of ‘filmmaker-writer’, the novel’s authorial figures propose to read the evolution of the cinema from creative practices that are not mutually exclusive. …”

Study on the Lubrication of the Precision Ball Screw Mechanism by Zhang Zuoying, Zhang Lei, Jiang Hongkui

“…The lubrication effects of two types of universal lubrication methods for ball screw mechanism are firstly discussed.For lubrication in oil,the variation situation of the thinnest lubricating oil film thickness vary with the ball screw rotation is figured out according to the Hamrock-Dowson expression and the fact that the ball screw always runs on conditions of boundary lubrication is identified by the calculation of the film thickness ratio.For lubrication in grease,the fluctuation curve of the ball speed responds to the ball screw rotation is figured out through the analysis of their mutual motion and geometric relationship.The curve demonstrates that using the grease to lubricate the ball screw mechanism with high rotation rate will cause higher temperature rise.To overcome the above two shortages,a dynamic grease coating lubrication method is proposed.Lastly,a friction torque stabilization test and a temperature rise test are conducted to prove the superiority of the proposed method.…”

Predictive design of tactile friction for micro/nanostructured haptic surfaces by Yuan Ma, Xinyi Li, Xuezhi Ma, Changhyun Choi, Luke Kruse, Shoufeng Lan, M. Cynthia Hipwell

“…Here, we develop a model for micro/nanostructured touch interfaces, accounting for contact mechanics, capillaries, electrostatic fields, and their mutual interactions. We experimentally validate this model and apply it to predicting the friction and adhesion of microparticle-coated plastic films for food packaging, and designing surface structures for electroadhesive surfaces to achieve both stronger effects and lower variability — essential features for high-volume consumer electronics. …”
