  • Publication number: 20240181828
    Abstract: A multi-degree-of-freedom active damping mechanism control method, system and a damping mechanism are provided. A skyhook active damping control algorithm is used for controlling an electric cylinder output force in a vertical damping direction, and an adaptive control algorithm with an adaptive rate is used for correcting a load moment of inertia in pitch and roll damping directions. At the same time, a predictive model is established according to a task space linearization equation near an equilibrium point, and states of the system at N future moments are predicted in advance at each moment to achieve optimal control under complex constraints and reduce the influence of system delay. At the same time, the three control methods may further improve the active damping effect of the damping device by combining road information obtained by a visual sensor in real time.

  • Publication number: 20230381747
    Abstract: In a method for acetylene hydrochlorination to vinyl chloride catalyzed by ultra-low content aurum-based material, a nitrogen-modified activated carbon support is obtained by using 1,10-phenanthroline as a modifier. A trace amount of aurum is used as a main active component and an organic solvent with a low polarity and a low boiling point, isopropanol, is used as a solvent. An ultra-low content of aurum-based catalyst with the aurum loading amount of 0.01 wt % using the above nitrogen-modified activated carbon as a support is prepared by improving the synthesis procedure, and the efficiency of the catalyst is significantly improved. The catalyst has high activity and vinyl chloride selectivity for acetylene hydrochlorination to vinyl chloride, which is low cost, no mercury pollution, simple in preparation process and expansibility, and has great industrial application value.

  • Publication number: 20230177539
    Abstract: Techniques for evaluating a user experience experiment designed to use one user experience variant selected from a number of user experience variants as a global-best user experience variant to be used across users relative to a machine model trained to use user data to identify a user-preferred user experience variant. Disclosed systems and methods provide techniques for optimizing user response. In one embodiment, a global-best user experience variant is evaluated by comparing an aggregate user response determined for the global-best user experience variant to an aggregate user response determined using user response predictions determined using the trained machine model, and using the outcome of the comparison to make a recommendation as to which one of the global-best user experience variant and the trained machine model to adopt for providing a user experience to users.
