Abstract: A band-pass near-infrared (NIR) filter has a glass substrate and at least one coating. The glass substrate has a scale factor that is smaller than 1500 kPa/K. The maximum internal stress of the glass substrate at an operating temperature TOT is smaller than 300 MPa. A method of production of such a band-pass NIR filter includes depositing a band-pass NIR coating that has alternating layers of high refractive index material and low refractive index material on at least one side of the glass substrate to form a coated glass substrate. Such a band-pass NIR filter can be used in an infrared sensor for object recognition.

Abstract: This application relates to a yarn carrier device with a yarn tension control function for a flat knitting machine, and a yarn tension control method. At the moment a carriage is connected to a yarn carrier device, a fixing frame carrying a bobbin ascends or descends on sliding rails installed on the yarn carrier device. The ascending or descending speed, time and distance of the fixing frame can be calculated directly according to a yarn carrier stop, the quantity of an unknitted portion of the yarn and the speed of the carriage. When the carriage contacts a yarn carrier, the fixing frame is controlled to ascend along the sliding rails. When the carriage drives the yarn carrier to enter a knitting area, the fixing frame is controlled to descend.

Abstract: A GNSS emergency monitoring error suppression method for an alpine canyon complex environment is provided. Through three steps of GNSS optimization design of the alpine canyon complex environment, derived error suppression of emergency monitoring criteria in the alpine canyon complex environment, and error suppression measurement and result correction, GNSS measurement errors in the alpine canyons can be effectively suppressed. Through improving measurement accuracy, GNSS technology can be widely applied to the alpine canyons, outstanding advantages of high efficiency and high accuracy in a coordinate transmission process of the GNSS technology are brought into full play, and a cost is effectively reduced. Meanwhile, by processing the errors of the emergency monitoring criteria, it is possible to protect workers from on-site operation risks.

Abstract: An R—Fe—B based magnet having gradient electric resistance and a method for producing the same are provided. The magnet includes an exterior layer (G) and a main body layer (H). The exterior layer (G) is connected with the main body layer (H) via a sintered layer (I). The oxygen content in the exterior layer (G) is higher than the oxygen content in the main body layer (H), so the electrical resistivity of the exterior layer (G) is not lower than the electrical resistivity of the main body layer (H). The R—Fe—B based magnet having gradient electric resistance is capable of maintaining high resistance and excellent magnetic performance simultaneously.

Abstract: Europium-containing fluorescent nanoparticles and methods of preparing such nanoparticles are provided. The nanoparticles are comprised of an aluminum oxide framework having a europium activator, a magnesium, calcium, strontium, or barium energy reservoir, and at least one co-activator selected from the group consisting of scandium, yttrium, and certain lanthanide elements. The nanoparticles may be optionally coated with a silane coating containing reactive functional groups that allow for attachment of the nanoparticle to a desired biological or chemical target molecule. The coated nanoparticles may be used to detect a variety of protein ligand interactions, and may also be used in assays for nucleic acids.
