In the reaction of the atmospheric pressure plasma process, the heat stable process of the atmospheric pressure plasma jet has a direct impact on the removal rate, CF4 is the provider of active F* atom, O2 is important auxiliary gas, and they play an important role in the process. In order to research the rule of the concentration of the 3 parameters upon the atmospheric pressure plasma processing, the atmospheric pressure plasma jet was used for processing and the spectrometer was used to monitor the changes in the process. The experiment indicates that: when the heat is stable, the concentration of the active F* atom essentially remains unchanged; with increasing the concentration of gas CF4, the spectrum of the active F* atom has self-absorption phenomena, so using the atomic emission spectroscopy method to monitor the changes in the concentration of active F* atom generated by CF4 is not completely exact; because O2 can easily react with the dissociation product of CF4, which inhibits the compound of the active F* atom, so in a certain range with increasing the concentration of gas O2, the concentration of the active F* atom becomes strong.

Different networks of coupled oscillators were developed for open-loop control of periodic motion. However, some tasks, like yo-yo playing, are open-loop unstable and require proper phase locking to stabilize. Given the phase-locking property of coupled oscillators, we investigate their application to closed-loop control of open-loop unstable systems, concentrating on the challenging task of yo-yo control. In particular, we focus on pulse-coupling, where the yo-yo sends a feedback upon reaching the bottom of the string and the onset of the oscillatory cycle is used to trigger the movement. Four networks involving either a stand-alone or a circuit level oscillator with either excitatory or inhibitory couplings are considered. Working curve analysis indicates that three of the networks cannot stabilize the yo-yo. The fourth network, which is based on a circuit-level oscillator, is analyzed using the return map and the region of stability is determined and verified by simulations. The resulting pulse-coupled oscillatory control provides a model-free control strategy that operates with an easy-to-measure low-rate feedback.
