Heart analytics: Analytical modeling of cardiovascular care

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death and disability both in the United States and worldwide. Despite high morbidity, mortality, and cost in the United States and global healthcare systems, cardiovascular care has been understudied in the healthcare operations management literature. In this paper, we identify research opportunities for healthcare operations management scholars to aid in improving cardiovascular care. We focus on three burdensome conditions, including (1) coronary artery disease, (2) stroke, and (3) heart failure, which, collectively, lead to the vast majority of CVD‐caused mortality and disability. For each condition, we characterize a typical patient's journey in receiving cardiovascular care, elucidating key challenges in improving care and outlining research questions for healthcare operations management scholars. We close with a reference to new research opportunities that emerge as artificial intelligence is likely to transform much of cardiovascular care.     

音圈式快速伺服刀架的分析与设计

自由曲面光学零件面形复杂,快刀伺服车削加工是其高效加工手段.针对压电陶瓷型伺服刀架行程小,加工能力有限的问题,提出一种基于音圈式直线电机驱动的快刀伺服方案.音圈式快速伺服刀架行程大,可大大拓宽快刀伺服加工范围.以典型光学零件加工为例,对快速伺服刀架所应具备的关键性能指标进行分析,给出了音圈电机的结构,对音圈式伺服刀架进行了理论建模、控制器设计以及实际性能测试.测试结果表明,所设计的音圈式伺服刀架行程大、频响高,在刀架行程为±100μm时可达到300Hz的频响能力,同样行程下的频响指标优于国外同类产品.
