Verification of the Operability of Short-Distance Mobility Vehicles (Electric Wheelchair) WHILL Through Test Drive Experiments

In this study,we used the short-distance mobility vehicles(electric wheelchair)WHILL,which is sold as a mobility support device rather than a welfare care device,and conducted test rides on campus and on public roads.The participants in the experiment were 10 healthy men and women in their 20s to 60s who did not use electric wheelchairs in their daily lives.The results showed that about half of the experiment participants did not feel anxious about operating WHILL.On the other hand,many participants felt uneasy about the operation of moving backward diagonally.The WHILL’s steering wheel was easy to operate,and it was also very comfortable during the test drive.Before and after the test drive,the impression evaluation of WHILL changed significantly from negative to positive.An improved model of WHILL was proposed based on the results of the questionnaire survey and interview survey after the test drive.

Numerical simulation and experimental research of surrounding rock deformation of floor roadway under short-distance coal seam group combined mining

According to the influence of the combination of short-distance coal seam group on mining roadway, using numerical simulation software FLAG2D to draw the abutment pressure distribution ahead the working face and the area of influence in fully-mechanized mining conditions, the variation rules of surrounding rock supporting pressure of floor roadway and the deformation rules were summarized. GYS-300 anchor dynamometer was used to measure the roadway surface displacement, and the conclusions of numerical simulation were verified.

Short-Distance Low-Power Wireless Access System

The short-distance low-power technologies for wireless access communications, including Bluetooth, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), focus on the physical layer and Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. Bluetooth is a wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distances. It is an alternative to RS232 data cables. UWB is a radio technology that can be used at very low energy levels for short range. It provides flexible high-bandwidth wireless access. Wi-Fi enables the wireless connection of fast-access devices and mobile devices in Wireless Local Access Network (WLAN) and it is suitable for long distances. The standardizations of the above technologies have been developed and published soon after the emergence of these technologies. Among all the standards, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are the most important ones.

The recording of digital hologram at short distance and reconstruction using convolution approach

By adopting in-line lensless Fourier setup and phase-shifting technique, we recorded the phase-shifting digital hologram at short distance. As the Fresnel diffraction condition is no longer valid, the convolution approach is chosen for the reconstruction. However, the simulated reference wave for the reconstruction would suffer from severe undersampling due to the comparatively large pixel size. To solve this problem, sine-interpolation is introduced to get the pixel-size of the hologram reduced prior to the reconstruction. The experimental results show that an object image of high fidelity is obtained with this method.

Ordered exponential and its features in Yang-Mills effective action

In this paper,we discuss some non-trivial relations for ordered exponentials on smooth Riemannian manifolds.As an example of application,we study the dependence of the four-dimensional quantum Yang–Mills effective action on the special gauge transformation with respect to the background field.Also,we formulate some open questions about a structure of divergences for a special type of regularization in the presence of the background field formalism.

Bus evacuation during no-notice disasters in downtown areas: A case study of the Zhongguancun area, Beijing

This paper focuses on the bus evacuation problem with pedestrians’short-distance walking ability between bus stations during no-notice disasters in downtown areas.A mixed-integer linear programming model is proposed to solve this problem.The objective function is to minimize the evacuation time and number of casualties.The model obtains the flow of evacuees and buses on each arc to the route of buses in the process of evacuation.Furthermore,a real-time bus evacuation demand estimation method is proposed based on smart card data.Finally,the example of Zhongguancun area in Beijing is used to verify the practicality and validity of the model.The results show that pedestrian short-distance walking can effectively reduce casualties and improve the utilization rate of buses.
