A winter jujube has been one of the most favorite fruits, due to the crisp texture, sweet taste, appealing flavor, and abundant nutrition. A drying process has been widely used for the storage of winter jujube. Among them, maturity can significantly determine the physicochemical properties of fresh fruits, the processing and product quality during drying. It is possible that the winter jujubes fail to reach a uniform maturity when harvesting. However, little information is available for the effect of maturity on drying and product quality. In this present study, a systematic investigation was conducted to explore the effects of different maturities on the physicochemical properties, the cell ultrastructure and microstructure, as well as the product quality of winter jujubes. The winter jujubes were classified into three maturities (stage I, II, and III), according to color and texture. Then, a pulsed-vacuum drying (drying temperature of 65℃, vacuum duration time: constant pressure duration time = 12 min: 3 min) was applied to process the winter jujubes, in order to clarify the influence of the maturity on the drying kinetics and drying quality of jujube slices. The results showed that there was an outstanding change of surface color in the jujube slices during drying, with the maturity increased from I to III. In detail, the brightness (L*) and yellowness/blueness (b*) decreased from 71.70 to 36.80 and 43.56 to 19.55, respectively, whereas, the value of red/green (a*) increased from -7.19 to 20.19. Meanwhile, there was a continuous increase in the soluble solids, titratable acid, total sugar, and reducing sugar contents, whereas, there was a significant decrease in the vitamin C content and hardness. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images illustrated that there was a separate wall of the adjacent cell and the disintegrated plasma membrane with the increase of maturity, indicating that the middle lamella layer of epidermal cells gradually dissolved in the winter jujube. Furthermore, the drying time of fruits at the maturity stage of I, II, and III were 360, 330, and 300 min, respectively. The lowest drying time was achieved in the fruits at maturity III, reducing by 20% and 10%, compared with maturity I and II. Meanwhile, the crispness and browning index of dried slices increased, whereas, the vitamin C content, rehydration capacity, total sugar, and reducing sugar contents decreased, compared with the fresh fruits. The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images illustrated that the dried crisps presented a loose and porous structure of the dried winter jujube slices, with the increase of the maturity, where the diameter of the surface pore increased continuously, and the morphology changed from the fine order to disorder arrangement. Consequently, the maturity posed a significant impact on the physicochemical properties, drying kinetics, and drying quality of winter jujubes. A recommendation can be made to implement the maturity grading of winter jujube before drying for a better drying performance and product quality of winter jujube slices. In terms of drying time and product quality, the fruits at the maturity stage of III were more suited to the drying processing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aiming at the stability problem of a new type of straight-arm aerial vehicle developed by a company, the stability analysis and optimization design of the whole machine were carried out. First of all, the SolidWorks software was used to establish 3 D model, the model was introduced into the ADAMS, and the dynamic model of the whole vehicle was established by using ADAMS software. Then, according to the national standard, the stability of the working vehicle was divided into three conditions: horizontal plane, inclined plane and operation stability test, and it was found that the stability of the working vehicle did not meet the requirements. Finally, in order to improve the stability, the counterweight was appropriately increased, but there was still local instability phenomenon. The finite element analysis method and the Abaqus software were used to design the telescopic arm of the working vehicle. The experiment results show that the volume of the telescopic arm is reduced to 70%, the stress and deformation of the telescopic arm are within an acceptable range, and the ground support to the four tires can reach 1 300 N. It does not only improves the stability of the working vehicle, but also reduces the production cost. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to solve the problem of pipeline bending caused by slippage of trenchless pipe laying machine, a navigation control system of trenchless pipe laying machine is designed based on RTK-BDS. According to the idea of multi-mode control algorithm, the multi-mode adaptive PID control algorithm of trenchless pipe laying machine is proposed. In this paper, through the analysis of the kinematic model and slip yaw model of tracked vehicles, it shows that the turning radius of vehicles will increase when slipping; through the analysis of the deviation model of vehicles, the calculation models of the heading deviation and lateral deviation of vehicles are given; through the analysis of the structure and related structural equations of the hydraulic motor of vehicles, the control transmission of the hydraulic motor of trenchless pipe laying machine is given Function. The navigation control system of trenchless pipe laying machine mainly consists of BP neural network classifier, modal selector, knowledge base, adaptive comparator and walking controller. BP neural network classifier uses sensors to detect the running speed of the left track, the right track, the actual average vehicle speed, the engine power and the oil pump pressure of the hydraulic motors on both sides of the trenchless pipe laying machine, so as to obtain the running state of the relevant modes of the vehicle, and input the sampled data to the computer In BP neural network, according to the model trained by BP neural network, the current state classification of vehicles is predicted. The modal selector can obtain the relevant parameters of the current vehicle state from the knowledge base through the classification results of BP neural network, and send them to the adaptive comparator and walking controller. The knowledge base contains the adaptive functions of the vehicle control system and the control parameters of KP, Ki and KD. The adaptive comparator can calculate the weights of the two errors according to the current heading error and lateral error of the vehicle and the reference line, and compare the two weights. If the heading error weight is larger than the lateral error weight, the heading PID controller is selected to control the vehicle navigation, otherwise the lateral PID controller is selected to control the vehicle navigation. Through the field test, the vehicle modal control parameters and BP neural network training samples are obtained. The test shows that the lateral overshoot is within 4.5 cm, the heading error is reduced to ±3.7° and the lateral error is stable within ± 2.6 cm. The linear control experiment shows that the heading error of the control algorithm is within ±5° and the lateral error is within ±2.6 cm. The course error of 96.2% is within ±3° and the lateral navigation error of 89.6% is within ±1 cm. The engineering application test shows that the heading error can be kept within ±7° and the average heading error is within ±3.5° and the transverse error can be kept within ±4 cm and ±1.5 cm respectively. The control system can meet the construction requirements of trenchless pipe laying machine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To analyze the aroma components and their contents of jasmine planted in different regions of Guangxi Hengxian County, and the content of trace elements in the corresponding soil activity, so as to provide a reference for the improvement of jasmine planting technology and the improvement of scented tea scenting technology. [Method] Collect commercial jasmine patterns and soil samples of corresponding plots from 11 typical jasmine planting sites in Hengxian County, Guangxi (spots 1-11), and perform GC-MS detection on the volatile components of jasmine. Detect the content of trace elements in soil activity, analyze the difference in aroma component content of jasmine planted in different regions and the correlation between the content of main aroma components and the content of trace elements in soil activity, and explore the effect of trace element content in different activities on the main aroma through regression analysis The effect of component accumulation. [Results] The aroma components of jasmine in Hengxian County, Guangxi contained 7 types of compounds including alcohols, esters, aldehydes, ketones, acids, alkanes and others. 242 identifiable volatile substances were detected in 22 jasmine samples from 11 jasmine planting sites. Among them, the higher content substances are (E)-2-hexenal, linalool, benzaldehyde, and hexyl aldehyde. The average relative content of aldehyde and (E)-3-hexen-1-ol are 21.72, 12.06, 5.21, 2.75 and 2.37, respectively; the total aroma components of jasmine in samples 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11 The relative content is higher than the average. The results of correlation analysis and regression analysis showed that the content of exchangeable calcium and exchangeable magnesium in the soil and the relative content of jasmine aroma components ranked the top 10 (E)-2-hexenal, hexanal, and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane The content of alkane and 2-octanone was significantly (P<0.05, the same below) or extremely significantly (P<0.01) negatively correlated, and positively correlated with the content of caproic acid. [Conclusion] The aroma components and content of jasmine in different planting areas in Hengxian County of Guangxi are quite different, but the location of the sampling point has no obvious correlation with the aroma components of jasmine. The aroma components of jasmine are mainly divided into alcohols, esters, aldehydes, ketones, acids and alkane compounds, etc.; during the formation and accumulation of the aroma components of jasmine, the content of exchangeable calcium and exchangeable magnesium in the soil increases. It can inhibit the accumulation of (E)-2-hexenal, hexanal, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and 2-octanone in jasmine, and promote the increase of hexanoic acid content, therefore, adjust the soil exchangeable calcium and exchangeable magnesium content It can be used as an important method to optimize the subsequent jasmine planting technology.

In the deep submicron process, increasing chip's integrated scale to improve performance will lead to the decrease of the chip frequency, the sharp increase of power consumption and the decrease of the computational efficiency. Therefore, by using the new technology of 3 D integrated circuit, this paper proposed and quantitatively studied a convolution neural network accelerator named 3D-ACC that mapped 2D systolic array onto 3D integrated circuit. Firstly, aiming at 3D-ACC, this paper designed an efficient convolutional mapping algorithm and built its performance model based on related design parameters. Then this paper analyzed the effects of different design parameters on the performance and efficiency of 3D-ACC. The experimental results show that the peak performance of 3D-ACC can achieve up to 32 TFLOPS when adopt the stack structure of 4-layer with 64 x 64 systolic array, and the actual computational efficiency of 3D-ACC can reach 47. 4%, 37. 9% and 40. 9% when tested with VGG-16, ResN et-50 and Inception V3 model respectively. The computational efficiency of 3D-ACC is obviously superior to a 2D-ACC with the same amount of PEs, the actual computational performance is 1. 51 x, 1. 69 x and 1. 61 x than that of the latter. This paper explores some advantages of 3D integrated circuit in neural network accelerator design, which can be a reference for further improving the performance of neural network accelerator in the future.

There are some problems existing in the domestic residual film recycling machinery, such as unable to bale, recovered film was loose, which leads to inconvenient transportation and storage, and easy to drift with the wind, resulting in secondary pollution and so on. In order to solve these problems, the belt-type residual film rubbing and baling machine was designed. The machine mainly consisted of rubbing mechanism, floating feeding mechanism, transmission system and hydraulic system, etc. The rubbing mechanism mainly consisted of front and back baling belts, support rollers, side plates and tensioning mechanism, etc. The baling belts rotated counterclockwise around the upper and lower support rollers, and the tension roller under the driving of the transmission system. The floating feeding mechanism mainly consisted of feeding roller, U-shaped support frame, bearing with sliding seat, and compression spring, etc. It was fixed to the upper end of the connecting plate, and the feeding roller rotated clockwise under the frictional force of the back baling belt. Through the design of the rubbing mechanism and the force analysis of the residual film, the structural dimension parameters of the baling room were determined, which contained the azimuth of the baling room was 0°, the angle of the baling room was 15°, the gap between the front and back of the upper end of the baling room was 15 mm, the gap between the front and back of the bottom of the baling room was 2 mm, the angle between the back baling belt and the horizontal direction was 25°, and the baling belt used PVC conveyor belt. The function of tension mechanism was to make the baling belt keep a certain degree of tension, so as to prevent the belt from slipping, keep the residual film bale baling under continuous pressure, and ensure the compactness of the residual film bale. Through the mechanical analysis of the formation of the residual film bale, the mechanical equation of the residual film core in the baling room was obtained, and then the rotational torque equation of the residual film core was derived. Finally, the field test of the baling machine was carried out. The results showed that the main factors affecting the baling quality were the azimuth of the baling room and the surface morphology of baling belt. The filed test showed that under the conditions of moderate tension of the baling belt, the azimuth angle of the baling room was -5° to 2.5°, the surface of balling belt was corrugated and the linear speed of the baling belt was 2.0 m/s, and the baling rate of the residual film was 100%, the density variation range of the residual film bale was 88.5 to 92.1 kg/m³. When the recovered residual film contained the same impurities, the density of the residual film bale was related to the linear speed of the baling belt, and the higher the linear speed, the higher the density of the residual film bale. However, when the linear speed exceeds 2.5 m/s, the increasing trend of the density slowed down. The research could provide reference for the development of a new type residual film baling machine.
