Abstract: This disclosure provides stable polymerizable resin compositions comprising one or more antioxidant stabilizers to prevent undesired polymerization and/or oxidation of polymerizable components as well as undesired depletion of photoinitiators in the polymerizable resin composition. Such polymerizable resin compositions can be used to produce polymeric materials with properties suitable for use in various mechanical appliances, such as orthodontic appliances.

Abstract: Provided are a method, an apparatus, and a system for risk assessment of an insulation state of electrical equipment and a storage medium. The method includes measuring partial discharge data of electrical equipment using multiple types of sensors, and performing clustering of discharge types; establishing, based on a clustering result of each discharge type, a regression model between sensor response amplitude and apparent discharge energy during a discharge development process; calculating, based on the regression model, the accumulated value of apparent discharge energy of current partial discharge of the electrical equipment, and using the accumulated value as an index of risk assessment to assess an insulation state of the electrical equipment.

Abstract: An electrochemical artificial muscle system and an electrochemical artificial muscle testing device are provided. The electrochemical artificial muscle system includes a working electrode including a conductive yarn having a helical structure; a counter electrode containing selected metal elements; an electrolyte including an ionic liquid containing selected ions, the selected ions including the selected metal elements; where the working electrode and the counter electrode are all in contact with the electrolyte. The artificial muscle system based on an aluminum ion battery system has a contractile retention (catch state) characteristic, i.e., artificial muscle yarns contract when a voltage is applied, and after the voltage is removed, the contraction state of the artificial muscle yarn is remained, within almost no any decay within 450 s.

Abstract: A method for determining phase locking of critical arc light includes: step 1: monitoring and collecting light radiation intensity of an arc inside a switch cabinet in real time, and converting the collected light radiation intensity into an electrical signal; step 2: extracting a power-frequency fundamental wave of the electrical signal, comparing an amplitude of the power-frequency fundamental wave of the electrical signal with a first threshold, and generating a pre-warning signal based on a comparison result of the first threshold; step 3: comparing the amplitude of the power-frequency fundamental wave of the electrical signal with a second threshold voltage, and generating a control signal based on a comparison result of the second threshold voltage and a protection time threshold; and step 4: protecting the switch cabinet under the critical arc light environment based on the pre-warning signal and the control signal.

Abstract: This invention relates to processes for the removal of phosphorous from aqueous waste streams comprising phosphorus-containing compounds produced in the manufacture of glyphosate, in order to meet and typically exceed environmental regulations. More particularly, various embodiments of the present invention relate to the removal of phosphorous-containing compounds utilizing biological treatment system(s), oxidizing agent(s), and/or precipitant(s). The processes of the invention are also applicable to the removal of phosphorous compounds from phosphorous-containing waste streams other than those waste streams resulting from the manufacture of glyphosate.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of vehicle positioning uses map matching as feedback for an integrated navigation system where a map and navigation system is coupled with an inertial navigation system (INS) using low-precision vehicle sensors when the vehicle passes through a tunnel or other area suffering from GPS signal loss. The method and apparatus operates to detect whether the vehicle has reached an entry point of a tunnel, and if so, immediately starts a map matching operation to match the current vehicle position with a road link of the tunnel. The current position determined by the map matching operation is feedbacked to an integration Kalman filter thereby correcting errors caused by the vehicle sensors. The method and apparatus resumes the normal navigation operation including GPS navigation as soon as it detects that the vehicle is out of the tunnel.
