Pressure regulators are important elements in pneumatic systems. Relief-type precision pressure regulators are commonly used to control the supply pressure to actively controlled pneumatic vibration isolators. Herein, a high precision, quick response pneumatic pressure regulator is proposed. This consists of an isothermal chamber, a servo valve, a pressure sensor, a quick response laminar flow sensor (QFS), and a pressure differential sensor (PD sensor) as developed by the authors. Slight changes of pressure in the chamber can be detected by the PD sensor and are fed back to the servo valve to maintain the pressure at a desired value. The performance of this regulator was confirmed experimentally in comparison with one available commercially. The regulator was then applied to the supply pressure regulation of an actively controlled pneumatic vibration isolation table. The superior performance of the regulator is clearly shown in the experimental results, especially in terms of avoiding effects from upstream or downstream disturbances. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.

Summary: Post-stenotic blood flows exhibit complex flow behaviors, including the development of shear layers, flow separation, and transition to turbulence. Different degrees of stenosis in pulsatile or steady flows result in varying levels of turbulence transition, with more significant transition observed at 50% stenosis.

Haohao Tao, Tongjie Li, Feng Chen, Jinwei Fan, Ri Pan

Summary: In this paper, a novel OTA method is proposed that considers the relationship between tolerance of machine tools' key parts and volumetric error.

Additionally, a Processing Simplicity Index (PSI) is introduced to replace manufacturing cost and a tolerance-PSI model is established. An OTA model is formulated to minimize volumetric error and maximize PSI. The feasibility and effectiveness of the method are validated through simulations and experiments.
