Abstract:
In order to meet the demand of a linear ultrasonic motor with large thrust in narrow space, a novel Π-type linear ultrasonic motor with double driving feet is proposed. In this paper, the structure of a stator is designed. The working mode and structure size are determined by finite element simulation. To amplify the amplitude of driving foot, an optimization design for the stator is performed. After that, a novel pre-load device that separates from the stator is put forward, which can not only improve the output but also help to improve the operation stability and prolong the life of motor. Additionally, a prototype of the proposed motor with the novel pre-load device was fabricated and the performance tests were implemented. The experimental results show that the suggested motor has structural stability and high dynamic performance, such as a no-load speed of 273 mm/s and 238 mm/s in two directions, corresponding to a maximal thrust of 80 N and 110 N.

ATP Driven Pumps II: P-type Pumps
A typical P-type pump has three cytosolic domains: nucleotide-binding (N), phosphorylation (P), and activator (A) domains. These domains are connected to the membrane-spanning helices by short amino acid segments. ATP hydrolysis and covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate formation are crucial parts of the catalytic cycle. At the highly...

What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...
