Microsoft Office for Mac has for long been criticized for its lack of support of Unicode and BiDi languages, notably Arabic and Hebrew. This has not changed in the Office 2008 version. Microsoft Office 2010 （also called Office 2010 and Office 14） is the current version of the Microsoft Office productivity suite for Microsoft Windows, and the successor to Microsoft Office 2007. With Office 2010, users are in control, getting things done and producing amazing results however and wherever they work best. Ms Office 2010 is the last version of Microsoft Office with support for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 due to Office 2013 requiring Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, or Windows RT. Adaptive hardware （Ugurdag, 2006） reflects the capability of a system to maintain or improve its performance in the context of internal or external changes. Adaptation at hardware levels increases the system capabilities beyond what is possible with software-only solutions. Algorithms, techniques, and their implementation in hardware are developed over a diverse variety of applications. The methodology of the On-Off-Line adaptable processors （Todoroi ＆ Micusha, 2012） support development of adaptable software and hardware. Automatic creation of the Off-Line adaptable processors are proved. Development of the On-Line and On-Off-Line adaptable processors based on Off-Line processing creation method is proposed （Todoroi, Micu^a, ＆ Todoroi, 2009; Todoroi, 2008a, 2008b）展开更多

The specific methods are developed for practical applications of adaptable design in the design of mechanical structures, including adaptable platform, interface and module designs. Adaptable redesign problems are formulated as adaptable platform design under adaptability bound constraints.

The specific measure of adaptability for machine tool structures is measured through the quantification of the structural similarity and performance improvement gained from adaptable design. The method provides designers with an approach that brings adaptability into the design process, with considering the cost and benefits of such adaptability. The redesign of CNC spiral bevel gear cutting machine structures has been included to illustrate these concepts and methods.展开更多

The performance of this speech coder has been improved by using the dynamic features generated by an algorithm for speech parameter generation from HMM because the generated speech parameter vectors reflect not only the means of static and dynamic feature vectors but also the covariance of those. The encoder part is equivalent to an HMM based phoneme recognizer and transmits phoneme indexes, state durations, pitch information and speaker characteristics adaptation vectors to the decoder. The decoder receives those messages and concatenates phoneme HMM sequence according to the phoneme indexes. Then the decoder generates a sequence of mel cepstral coefficient vectors using HMM based speech parameter generation technique. Finally the decoder synthesizes speech by directly exciting the MLSA(Mel Log Spectrum Approximation) filter with the generated mel cepstral coefficient vectors, according to the pitch information.展开更多

Hydrogels have emerged as a promising biomaterial for promoting peripheral nerve regeneration, while conventional hydrogels are generally unable to support endogenous cell infiltration due to limited network dynamics, thereby compromising the therapeutic outcomes. Herein, we present a cell adaptable hydrogel containing a tissue-mimetic silk fibroin network and a dynamically crosslinked bisphosphonated-alginate network. The dynamic network of this hydrogel can respond to cell-generated forces to undergo the cell-mediated reorganization, thereby effectively facilitating the rapid infiltration of Schwann cells and macrophages, as well as the ingrowth of axons. We further show that the magnesium ions released from the hydrogel not only promote neurite outgrowth but also regulate the polarization of macrophages in a sequential manner, contributing to the formation of a regenerative microenvironment. Therefore, this hydrogel effectively prevents muscle atrophy and promotes the regeneration and functional recovery of nerve defects of up to 10 mm within 8 weeks. The findings from this study demonstrate that adaptable hydrogels are promising inductive biomaterials for enhancing the therapeutic outcomes of peripheral nerve injury treatments.展开更多

文摘Achieving a straightforward design of tough,printable,and adaptable polymeric eutectogels is still challenging in related fields due to the uncontrollable polymerization and solvent-exchanging processes,and inherent contrasting multiple networks.Here,we report a one-step synergistic strategy based on ruthenium chemistry-catalyzed photopolymerization and solvent effect for preparing high-performance eutectogels.This orthogonal ruthenium photochemistry helps multinetworks formation via phenol-coupling of gelatin and copolymerization of acrylamide(AAm)and[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium tetrafluoroborate(META)monomers in seconds.The obvious difference in the supramolecular interactions of free AAm monomers and polymerized units in P(AAm-co-META)with deep eutectic solvents(DESs)significantly promotes the microphase-separation behavior in eutectogels.Consequently,the in situ polymerization and microphase-separation behavior enable the as-prepared eutectogel materials to have excellent mechanical properties(stress of∼1.2 MPa),toughness(∼4.0 MJ m^(−3)),elasticity,adaptivity,and conductivity(∼0.5 S m^(−1)at room temperature).Also,the critical strength of the resultant eutectogels can be modulated by varying the DES constituents.This rapid and well-controlled synergistic approach is compatible with extrusion printing techniques to make flexible sensors with high sensitivities and response times to detect pressure in a range of 0–500 kPa.Such a general and simple strategy has application potential in biological,engineering,and material sciences.

文摘Covalent adaptable networks(CANs),comprising polymer networks crosslinked by dynamic covalent bonds(DCBs),have garnered considerable attention as sustainable materials.Mastering the stress relaxation of CANs is essential for controlling their viscoelastic properties.An unexpected acceleration of stress relaxation has been observed in CANs containing dual dynamic bonds.The dynamic behavior of the second dynamic bonds can accelerate stress relaxation and lower the relaxation activation energy of dual dynamic CANs compared to analogous CANs that rely on only one type of DCB.These findings complement current approaches that utilize catalysts or adjust network parameters.In this minireview,we summarize the synergistic acceleration effects in various CANs containing dual dynamic bonds.We classify these effects based on the second dynamic bonds,including noncovalent bonds,mechanical bonds,and the second DCBs.We also discuss the mechanisms behind this synergy.Finally,we highlight the challenges and offer perspectives on harnessing the synergistic effects of these dual dynamic systems to expand the chemistry and applications of CANs.

文摘Covalent adaptive networks(CANs)are capable of undergoing segment rearrangement after being heated,which endows the materials with excellent self-healing and reprocessing performance,providing an efficient solution to the environment pollution caused by the plastic wastes.The main challenge remains in developing CANs with both excellent reprocessing performance and creep-resistance property.In this study,a series of CANs containing dynamic covalent benzopyrazole-urea bonds were developed based on the addition reaction between benzopyrazole and isocyanate groups.DFT calculation confirmed that relatively low dissociation energy is obtained through undergoing a five-member ring transition state,confirming excellent dynamic property of the benzopyrazole-urea bonds.As verified by the FTIR results,this nice dynamic property can be well maintained after incorporating the benzopyrazole-urea bonds into polymer networks.Excellent self-healing and reprocessing performance is observed by the 3-ABP/PDMS elastomers owing to the dynamic benzopyrazole-urea bonds.Phase separation induced by the aggregation of the hard segments locked the benzopyrazole-urea bonds,which also makes the elastomers display excellent creep-resistance performance.This hard phase locking strategy provides an efficient approach to design CANs materials with both excellent reprocessing and creep-resistance performance.

文摘Covalent adaptable networks(CANs),which combine the benefits of traditional thermosets and thermoplastics,have attracted considerable attention.The dynamics of reversible covalent bonds and mobility of polymer chains in CANs determine the topological rearrangement of the polymeric network,which is critical to their superior features,such as self-healing and reprocessing.Herein,we introduce an ionic liquid to dimethylglyoximeurethane(DOU)-based CANs to regulate both reversible bond dynamics and polymer chain mobility by cooperative chemical coupling and physical lubrication.Small-molecule model experiments demonstrated that ionic liquids can catalyze dynamic DOU bond exchange.Ionic liquid also breaks the hydrogen bonds between polymeric chains,thereby increasing their mobility.As a combined result,the activation energy of the dissociation of the dynamic network decreased from 110 to 85 kJ mol^(−1).Furthermore,as a functional moiety,the ionic liquid imparts new properties to CANs and will greatly expand their applications.For example,the consequent conductivity of resultant ionic CAN(iCAN)has demonstrated a great power to build high-performance multifunctional wearable electronics responsive to multiple stimulations including temperature,strain,and humidity.This study provides a new design principle that simultaneously uses the chemical and physical effects of two structural components to regulate material properties enabling novel applications.

文摘Polyimine represents a rapidly emerging class of readily accessible and affordable covalent adaptable networks(CANs)that have been extensively studied in the past few years.While being highly malleable and recyclable,the pioneering polyimine materials are relatively soft and not suitable for certain applications that require high mechanical performance.Recent studies have demonstrated the possibility of significantly improving polyimine properties by varying its monomer building blocks,but such component variations are usually not straightforward and can be potentially challenging and costly.Herein,we report an in situ oxidation polymerization strategy for preparation of mechanically strong poly(imine-amide)(PIA)hybrid CANs from simple amine and aldehyde monomers.By converting a portion of reversible imine bonds into high-strength amide linkages in situ,the obtained hybrid materials exhibit gradually improved Young’s modulus and ultimate tensile strength as the oxidation level increased.Meanwhile,the PIAs remain reprocessable and can be depolymerized into small molecules and oligomers similar as polyimine.This work demonstrates the great potential of the in situ transformation strategy as a new approach for development of various mechanically tunable CANs from the same starting building blocks.

文摘Inspired by the morphology of human fingers,this paper proposes an underactuated rigid-soft coupled robotic gripper whose finger is designed as the combination of a rigid skeleton and a soft tissue.Different from the current grippers who have multi-point contact or line contact with the target objects,the proposed robotic gripper enables surface contact and leads to flexible grasping and robust holding.The actuated mechanism,which is the palm of proposed gripper,is optimized for excellent operability based on a mathematical model.Soft material selection and rigid skeleton structure of fingers are then analyzed through a series of dynamic simulations by RecurDyn and Adams.After above design process including topology analysis,actuated mechanism optimization,soft material selection and rigid skeleton analysis,the rigid-soft coupled robotic gripper is fabricated via 3D printing.Finally,the grasping and holding capabilities are validated by experiments testing the stiffness of a single finger and the impact resistance of the gripper.Experimental results show that the proposed rigid-soft coupled robotic gripper can adapt to objects with different properties(shape,size,weight and softness)and hold them steadily.It confirms the feasibility of the design procedure,as well as the compliant and dexterous grasping capabilities of proposed rigid-soft coupled gripper.

文摘The serious environmental threat caused by petroleum-based plastics has spurred more researches in developing substitutes from renewable sources.Starch is desirable for fabricating bioplastic due to its abundance and renewable nature.However,limitations such as brittleness,hydrophilicity,and thermal properties restrict its widespread application.To overcome these issues,covalent adaptable network was constructed to fabricate a fully bio-based starch plastic with multiple advantages via Schiff base reactions.This strategy endowed starch plastic with excellent thermal processability,as evidenced by a low glass transition temperature(T_(g)=20.15℃).Through introducing Priamine with long carbon chains,the starch plastic demonstrated superior flexibility(elongation at break=45.2%)and waterproof capability(water contact angle=109.2°).Besides,it possessed a good thermal stability and self-adaptability,as well as solvent resistance and chemical degradability.This work provides a promising method to fabricate fully bio-based plastics as alternative to petroleum-based plastics.
