Abstract: This application describes a method of preparation of a natural graphene cellulose blended fiber, which comprises using a graphite powder as a raw material for preparing a graphene solution, adding the graphene solution to a slurry formed by mixing and dissolving a wood pulp with N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO), removing the water content thereof to form a spinning dope, and then spinning the spinning dope by a Dry-Jet Wet method to manufacture a natural graphene cellulose blended fiber. The present method does not require a highly toxic hydrazine hydrate solution. Further, by increasing the adding ratio of the graphene solution in the manufacturing process, control of the antistatic properties and thermal transferring functions can be achieved, and thereby various requirements of different consumers can be satisfied. Besides, the fibers can decompose naturally after being used, and thus the product is harmless, natural, and environmentally friendly.

Abstract: A machine diagnostic system includes a performance evaluating module, a machine adjusting module and multiple sensors. The performance evaluating module evaluates the performance value of a part of a machine prior to production and predicts whether the part can be used to complete multiple batches of semi-products. If yes, the machine adjusting module sets a set value of the machine so that the machine can complete the multiple batches of semi-products. When the batches of semi-products are processed by the machine, a real-time production data is generated. When the sensors detect that the real-time production data contains an abnormal state data, re-evaluating whether the machine can complete the remaining semi-products according to the set value. If yes, enabling the machine to continue processing the remaining semi-products according to the set value. If no, updating the set value of the machine.
