Analysis of the Influence of the Motion State of Ultra-Thin Sapphire Based on Layer-Stacked Clamping (LSC).

Ultra-thin sapphire wafer processing is receiving increasing attention in the LED substrate industry. In the cascade clamping method, the motion state of the wafer determines the uniformity of material removal, while the motion state of the wafer is related to its friction coefficient in the biplane processing system, but there is little relevant literature discussing the relationship between the motion state of wafer and friction coefficient. In this study, an analytical model of the motion state of sapphire wafers in the layer-stacked clamping process based on the frictional moment is established, the effect of each friction coefficient on its motion is discussed, the base plate of different materials and different roughness are experimentally studied, the layer-stacked clamping fixture is prepared in this way, and finally the failure form of the limiting tab is analyzed experimentally. The theoretical analysis shows that the sapphire wafer is mainly driven by the polishing plate, while the base plate is mainly driven by the holder, and the rotation speed of the two is not the same; the material of the base plate of the layer-stacked clamping fixture is stainless steel, the material of the limiter is glass fiber plate, and the main form of failure of the limiter is to be cut by the edge of the sapphire wafer and damage the material structure.

Lutein extends the lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster.

Lutein is one of the major carotenoids in most fruits and vegetables. The effect of lutein on the lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster was investigated. Results revealed that 0.1mg lutein/ml diet could prolong their mean lifespan from 49.0 to 54.6 days. This was consistent with a significant reduction in malonyldialdehyde (MDA) level and increase in antioxidant enzyme activities of the flies fed with lutein-treated diet compared with those fed with basal diet. Paraquat (PQ) and H2O2 treatment tests demonstrated that lutein could prolong the survival time of the flies. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis indicated the gene expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD; SOD1 and SOD2), and catalase (CAT) in the lutein-treated group was up-regulated relative to that of the control group. It was concluded that the lifespan-prolonging activity of lutein was partially by up-regulation of endogenous antioxidant enzymes.
