Abstract: A bionic robot and a spine apparatus thereof. Magnetorheological fluids are filled in the cavity, the first tube and the second tube to actuate the first end of the piston rod, so that the piston rod is actuated to move along the axial direction of the cavity. The excitation coil is wound around the first tube. When the controller provides a variable current for the excitation coil, the excitation coil produces a variable magnetic field at the first tube, thereby causing a magnetorheological effect that the magnetorheological fluid is in low liquidity and high viscosity. Then, the transmission speed of the piston rod is changed, which is presented as a damping characteristic, reducing the pause and transition in the spine apparatus, and improving the flexibility and the bionic performance of the robot.

Abstract: A method of making a multifunctional catalyst for upgrading pyrolysis oil includes contacting a hierarchical mesoporous zeolite support with a solution including at least a first metal catalyst precursor and a second metal catalyst precursor, each or both of which may include a heteropolyacid. The hierarchical mesoporous zeolite support may have an average pore size of from 2 nm to 40 nm. Contacting the hierarchical mesoporous zeolite support with the solution deposits or adsorbs the first metal catalyst precursor and the second catalyst precursor onto outer surfaces and pore surfaces of the hierarchical mesoporous zeolite support to produce a multifunctional catalyst precursor. The method further includes removing excess solution and calcining the multifunctional catalyst precursor to produce the multifunctional catalyst comprising at least a first metal catalyst and a second metal catalyst deposited on the outer surfaces and pore surfaces of the hierarchical mesoporous zeolite support.

Abstract: A cutting device configured to cut a workpiece includes a base and a cover plate. The cover plate includes a base plate, a pressing member, and an elastic member. A surface of the base plate facing the base defines a receiving groove configured to receive the pressing member. The pressing member defines a number of first cutter slots to allow cutters to pass through to cut the workpiece located between the base and the cover plate. The elastic member includes a connecting portion and an elastic portion. The connecting portion is fixedly coupled to the pressing member and partially extends beyond an edge of the pressing portion. One end of the elastic portion abuts against the base plate, and a second end of the elastic portion is coupled to the connecting portion.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) of fetal aneuploidies. The present methods are based on analyzing cell-free fetal DNA (cff DNA) found in a pregnant woman's circulation through the next generation sequencing (NGS) technology. Particularly, the present methods analyze the relative abundance of different fetal genomic fragments present in the maternal sample, where the fragments can be aligned to particular chromosomal locations of the fetal genome. The relative abundance information is indicative as to whether a particular chromosome is overrepresented or underrepresented in a fetal genome as compared to normal individuals, and thus can be used to detect fetal aneuploidy. Additionally, methods for increasing the positive predictive values (PPV) of NIPS by excluding false-positive detections are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aerial vehicle landing method, an aerial vehicle, and a computer readable storage medium. The present invention has no requirement on a motion form of a dynamic target and whether a measurement device is equipped, and does not require that a feature image of a target is obtained in advance either. Instead, motion information of a target is obtained by means of desirable tracking real-timeness of an on-board image device. Therefore, it is ensured that the aerial vehicle can reach a location near the target, and this process allows the dynamic target to have a complex motion form. Desirable tracking real-timeness allows an aerial vehicle to change a target at any flight time point, and continuous tracking and precise landing can be achieved.
