  • Publication number: 20240132152
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a self-learning collaborative control method for active steering and yaw moment for a motor vehicle, including a first step of constructing fundamental formulas which are stored in a vehicle ECU, and a second step of calculating an active steering angle ?C and a yaw moment Mc on line by the vehicle ECU according to following sub-steps during a driving process of the motor vehicle, and controlling a driving state of the motor vehicle according to ?C and Mc. The second step includes a first sub-step of collecting raw real-time parameter values, a second sub-step of performing calculation by the identifier and the control target reference model, a third sub-step of calculating ?C and Mc. The present disclosure can realize the self-learning collaborative control of active steering and yaw moment without requiring a system control model and correct a driver's steering operation.

  • Patent number: 11753695
    Abstract: A device and a method for continuous temperature gradient heat treatment of a rod-shaped material are disclosed. The furnace body of the device includes an upper heating zone and a lower heating zone inside, which are independently controlled in temperature by means of an upper heating power supply and a lower heating power supply. Moreover, both the upper heating zone and the lower heating zone are closed heating zones. The closed heat insulation plates could prevent heat loss and ensure precise temperature control of the upper heating zone and the lower heating zone. In the device, a vacuum pumping equipment is included; an annular radiation screen is configured between the upper heating zone and the lower heating zone, and the rod-shaped material is not in contact with the annular radiation screen The rod-shaped material conducts one-dimensional heat transfer along the axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20210277500
    Abstract: In the method for preparing single crystal superalloy test bars by using a Ni—W heterogeneous seed crystal, on the premise of ensuring that the single crystal superalloy has the required orientation, by reusing the seed crystal, it is achieved that the trouble caused by the need of preparing a new seed crystal when a single crystal superalloy is produced by the seed crystal method every time is avoided, and the production cost is significantly reduced. In the present disclosure, the formation of the stray grains in mushy zone could be avoided by using a Ni—W heterogeneous seed crystal without mushy zone and a built-in corundum tube.

  • Patent number: 10618939
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a Beclin 1-UVRAG complex structure which reveals a tightly packed coiled coil assembly with Beclin 1 and UVRAG residues complementing each other to form a stable dimeric complex. This potent physical interaction is critical for UVRAG-dependent EGFR degradation but less critical for autophagy. Targeting the Beclin 1 coiled coil domain with rationally designed stapled peptides leads to enhanced autophagy activity and EGFR degradation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines, suggesting translational value for these compounds.
