The complexity lying in the realization of FIR filter is dominated by the multiplier structure. This complexity grows further with filter order, which results in increased area, power, and reduced speed of operation. The speed of operation is improved over multiply-accumulate approach using multiplier less conventional DA based design and decomposed DA based design. Both the structure requires B clock cycles to get the filter output for the input width of B, which limits the speed of DA structure. This limitation is addressed using parallel LUTs, called high speed DA FIR, at the expense of additional hardware cost. With large number of taps, the number of LUTs and its size also becomes large. In the proposed method, by exploiting coefficient symmetry property, the number of LUTs in the decomposed DA form is reduced by a factor of about 2. This proposed approach is applied in high speed DA based FIR design, to obtain area and speed efficient structure. The proposed design offers around 40% less area and 53.98% less slice-delay product (SDP) than the high throughput DA based structure when it’s implemented over Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA device-XC5VSX95T-1FF1136 for 16-tap symmetric FIR filter. The proposed design on the same FPGA device, supports up to 607 MHz input sampling frequency, and offers 60.5% more speed and 67.71% less SDP than the systolic DA based design.展开更多

The process involves six steps： washing, drying, crushing, sieving, carbonization, and activation. Secondly, the ability of the produced GAC to remove pollutants is examined through batch experiments of residual chlorine adsorption whereas the equilibrium isotherm experimental data are tested for the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms equations. Thirdly, the experimental and theoretical study of dynamic adsorption process and the effect of major operating parameters on dynamic adsorption are investigated. The results show that the Langmuir isotherm gives the best fitting to experimental data, which indicates that the residual chlorine adsorption can be characterized by mono layer adsorption behavior. The produced GAC has a great potential as an adsorbent for residual chlorine in water systems and it can compete favorably with the conventional adsorbents. The Thomas extended model with combined mass transfer resistances is used for verifying the experimental results and the results show that the proposed model coincides well with the experimental data of the dynamic adsorption process.展开更多

By adjusting the weight of adaptive filter, the minimum quadratic performance index was obtained. For two-degree-of-freedom vehicle suspension model, LMS adaptive controller was designed. The acceleration of the sprung mass,the dynamic tyre load between wheels and road,and the dynamic deflection between sprung mass and unsprung mass were determined as the evaluation targets of suspension performance. For LMS adaptive control suspension, compared with passive suspension, acceleration power spectral density of sprung mass acceleration under the road input model decreased 8-10 times in high frequency resonance band or low frequency resonance band. The simulation results show that LMS adaptive control is simple and remarkably effective. It further proves that the active control suspension system can improve both the riding comfort and handling safety in various operation conditions, and the method is fit for the active control of the suspension system.展开更多

Many researchers have shown that these defects can be reduced by adopting an appropriate gating system design. However, it is difficult for field engineers to identify a specific gating system that is more appropriate for their products. In this study, we tried to draw a comparison between two gating system designs with and without a ceramic foam filter. The ceramic foam filter was added to the horizontal runner just after the down sprue to prevent air bubble generation and reduce turbulence without a change of gating system design. The water modeling experiment was conducted with four different amounts of the initial volumes of water in the reservoir to verify the effects of initial pouring velocity. The results of the experiment applying the filter showed remarkably changed flow characteristics. The use of the filter was found to convert the flow pattern of water in the desired direction. The ceramic foam filter performed well to reduce flow velocity and stabilize the water stream.The flow pattern without a filter can be improved significantly even with the the use of just a 10 PPI irregular filter. Although the study confirmed that use of the filter may change the flow characteristics, it needs to be noted that the use of the ceramic filter alone cannot solve all the problems caused by a poorly designed gating system.展开更多

Three operating conditions are investigated with the equivalence ratios of the methane/air flame covering a range of 0.67–0.83. Under each condition, single-shot and averaged FRS images over a region measured 39.3×65.6 mm^(2) at seven cross sections of the flame are collected to demonstrate the flame behavior. A gradient calculation algorithm is applied to identify reaction zone locations and structures in the instantaneous FRS measurements.Statistical analysis for the mean FRS measurements is performed by means of joint probability density functions. The experimental results indicate that thermochemical state of the swirl flame is strongly influenced by equivalence ratio, leading to varieties of flame structures and temperature distributions. The gradient of the instantaneous FRS images clearly illustrates the characteristics of the reaction zone. The results also demonstrate that FRS can provide detailed insights into the behavior of turbulent flames.展开更多

文摘Color filters are essential components for optical modulation.However,conventional filters are restricted to operating exclusively in either reflective or transmissive mode.Furthermore,they suffer from limited UV and thermal stability,low color purity,and exhibit identical coloration on both surfaces.Herein,we propose a novel design strategy for trans-reflective color filters by integrating the absorptive properties of dye-doped polysulfone(PSU)with the diffractive capabilities of photonic crystals.This composite filter achieved broad-spectrum transmission with deep color outputs—yellow(0.410,0.510),magenta(0.446,0.231),and cyan(0.201,0.425)—closely aligned with standard color space coordinates.By tuning the refractive index of CeO_(2)@SiO_(2)nanoparticles to match dye-based PSU matrix,the transmittance of filters exceeded 70%.Moreover,dye-mediated absorption reduces the scattering light,thereby enhancing reflection color purity(full width at half maxima(FWHM)=25 nm)and producing vibrant blue,green,and red hues.The incorporation of UV-absorbing CeO_(2)@SiO_(2)nanoparticles effectively mitigated dye photodegradation,yielding exceptional UV stability(ΔT<2%under prolonged UV exposure).The filters also exhibited outstanding thermal stability(ΔT<1%after 30 min heat treatment at 230°C).This work establishes a robust materials design framework for multifunctional optical filters,advancing the development of highfidelity dual-mode color systems for next-generation display technologies.

文摘Recommendation systems are an integral and indispensable part of every digital platform,as they can suggest content or items to users based on their respective needs.Collaborative filtering is a technique often used in various studies,which produces recommendations by analyzing similarities between users and items based on their behavior.Although often used,traditional collaborative filtering techniques still face the main challenge of sparsity.Sparsity problems occur when the data in the system is sparse,meaning that only a portion of users provide feedback on some items,resulting in inaccurate recommendations generated by the system.To overcome this problem,we developed aHybrid Collaborative Filtering model based onMatrix Factorization andGradient Boosting(HCF-MFGB),a new hybrid approach.Our proposed model integrates SVD++,the XGBoost ensemble learning algorithm,and utilizes user demographic data and meta items.We utilize information,both explicitly and implicitly,to learn user preference patterns using SVD++.The XGBoost algorithm is used to create hundreds of decision trees incrementally,thereby improving model accuracy.Meanwhile,user demographic and meta-item data are clustered using the K-Means Clustering algorithm to capture similarities in user and item characteristics.This combination is designed to improve rating prediction accuracy by reducing reliance on minimal explicit rating data,while addressing sparsity issues in movie recommendation systems.The results of experiments on the MovieLens 100K,MovieLens 1M,and CiaoDVD datasets show significant improvements,outperforming various other baselinemodels in terms of RMSE and MAE.On theMovieLens 100K dataset,the HCF-MFGB model obtained an RMSE value of 0.853 and an MAE value of 0.674.On theMovieLens 1M dataset,the HCF-MFGB model obtained an RMSE value of 0.763 and an MAE value of 0.61.On the CiaoDCD dataset,the HCF-MFGB model achieved an RMSE value of 0.718 and an MAE value of 0.495.These results confirm a significant improvement in movie recommendation accuracy with the proposed approach.
文摘This article presents an adaptive intelligent control strategy applied to a lumped-parameter evaporator model,i.e.,a simplified dynamic representation treating the evaporator as a single thermal node with uniform temperature distribution,suitable for control design due to its balance between physical fidelity and computational simplicity.The controller uses a wavelet-based neural proportional,integral,derivative(PID)controller with IIR filtering(infinite impulse response).The dynamic model captures the essential heat and mass transfer phenomena through a nonlinear energy balance,where the cooling capacity“Qevap”is expressed as a non-linear function of the compressor frequency and the temperature difference,specifically,Q_(evap)=k_(1)u(T_(in)−T_(e))with u as compressor frequency,Te evaporator temperature,and Tin inlet fluid temperature.The operating conditions of the system,in general terms,focus on the following variables,the overall thermal capacity is 1000 J/K,typical for small-capacity heat exchangers,The mass flow is 0.05 kg/s,typical for secondary liquid cooling circuits,the overall loss coefficient of 50 W/K that corresponds to small evaporators with partial insulation,the temperatures(inlet)of 10℃and the temperature of environment of 25℃,thermal load of 200 W that corresponds to a small-scaled air conditioning applications.To handle system nonlinearities and improve control performance,aMorlet wavelet-based neural network(Wavenet)is used to dynamically adjust the PID gains online.An IIR filter is incorporated to smooth the adaptive gains,improving stability and reducing oscillations.In contrast to prior wavelet-or neural-adaptive PID controllers in HVAC applications,which typically adjust gains without explicit filtering or not tailored to evaporator dynamics,this work introduces the first PID–Wavenet scheme augmented with an IIR-based stabilization layer,specifically designed to address the combined challenges of nonlinear evaporator behavior,gain oscillation,and real-time implementability.The proposed controller(PID-Wavenet+IIR)is implemented and validated inMATLAB/Simulink,demonstrating superior performance compared to a conventional PID tuned using Simulink’s auto-tuning function.Key results include a reduction in settling time from 13.3 to 8.2 s,a reduction in overshoot from 3.5%to 0.8%,a reduction in steady-state error from 0.12℃ to 0.02℃and a 13%reduction in energy overall consumption.The controller also exhibits greater robustness and adaptability under varying thermal loads.This explicit integration of wavelet-driven adaptation with IIR-filtered gain shaping constitutes the main methodological contribution and novelty of the work.These findings validate the effectiveness of the wavelet-based adaptive approach for advanced thermal management in refrigeration and HVAC systems,with potential applications in controlling variable-speed compressors,liquid chillers,and compact cooling units.

文摘This article proposes a generalized strongly coupled resonator quartet(GSCRQ)filter along with its synthesis approach.By introducing out-of-band reflection zeros(RZs),the proposed GSCRQ can generate a transmission zero on each side of the passband without negative couplings.The coupling coefficients in this coupling structure change with the positions of the out-of-band RZs.Thus,the GSCRQ configuration admits flexible design solutions.For GSCRQ coaxial combline filters,all couplings can be implemented as inductive couplings,simplifying the design and manufacturing process.In this article,a 6-2 filter in the GSCRQ configuration is synthesized and designed.The simulated results of the designed filter agree very well with the theoretical characteristics.

文摘Deep graph contrastive clustering has attracted widespread attentions due to its self-supervised representation learning paradigm and superior clustering performance.Although,two challenges emerge and result in high computational costs.Most existing contrastive methods adopt the data augmentation and then representation learning strategy,where representation learning with trainable graph convolution is coupled with complex and fixed data augmentation,inevitably limiting the efficiency and flexibility.The similarity metric between positive-negative sample pairs is complex and contrastive objective is partial,limiting the discriminability of representation learning.To solve these challenges,a novel wide graph clustering network(WGCN)adhering to representation and then augmentation framework is proposed,which mainly consists of multiorder filter fusion(MFF)and double-level contrastive learning(DCL)modules.Specifically,the MFF module integrates multiorder low-pass filters to extract smooth and multi-scale topological features,utilizing self-attention fusion to reduce redundancy and obtain comprehensive embedding representation.Further,the DCL module constructs two augmented views by the parallel parameter-unshared Siamese encoders rather than complex augmentations on graph.To achieve simple yet effective self-supervised learning,representation self-supervision and structural consistency oriented double-level contrastive loss is designed,where representation self-supervision maximizes the agreement between pairwise augmented embedding representations and structural consistency promotes the mutual information correlation between appending neighborhoods with similar semantics.Extensive experiments on six benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed WGCN,especially highlighting its time-saving characteristic.The code could be available in the https://github.com/Tianxiang Zhao0474/WGCN.

文摘First, the date palm kernel is used to produce granular activated carbon （GAC） by a physiochemical activation process. The process involves six steps： washing, drying, crushing, sieving, carbonization, and activation. Secondly, the ability of the produced GAC to remove pollutants is examined through batch experiments of residual chlorine adsorption whereas the equilibrium isotherm experimental data are tested for the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms equations. Thirdly, the experimental and theoretical study of dynamic adsorption process and the effect of major operating parameters on dynamic adsorption are investigated. The results show that the Langmuir isotherm gives the best fitting to experimental data, which indicates that the residual chlorine adsorption can be characterized by mono layer adsorption behavior. The produced GAC has a great potential as an adsorbent for residual chlorine in water systems and it can compete favorably with the conventional adsorbents. The Thomas extended model with combined mass transfer resistances is used for verifying the experimental results and the results show that the proposed model coincides well with the experimental data of the dynamic adsorption process.
文摘The least means squares （LMS） adaptive filter algorithm was used in active suspension system. By adjusting the weight of adaptive filter, the minimum quadratic performance index was obtained. For two-degree-of-freedom vehicle suspension model, LMS adaptive controller was designed. The acceleration of the sprung mass,the dynamic tyre load between wheels and road,and the dynamic deflection between sprung mass and unsprung mass were determined as the evaluation targets of suspension performance. For LMS adaptive control suspension, compared with passive suspension, acceleration power spectral density of sprung mass acceleration under the road input model decreased 8-10 times in high frequency resonance band or low frequency resonance band. The simulation results show that LMS adaptive control is simple and remarkably effective. It further proves that the active control suspension system can improve both the riding comfort and handling safety in various operation conditions, and the method is fit for the active control of the suspension system.
文摘Casting defects that are closely related to entrapped air bubbles and metallic oxides occur very frequently in the sand mold casting process. Many researchers have shown that these defects can be reduced by adopting an appropriate gating system design. However, it is difficult for field engineers to identify a specific gating system that is more appropriate for their products. In this study, we tried to draw a comparison between two gating system designs with and without a ceramic foam filter. The ceramic foam filter was added to the horizontal runner just after the down sprue to prevent air bubble generation and reduce turbulence without a change of gating system design. The water modeling experiment was conducted with four different amounts of the initial volumes of water in the reservoir to verify the effects of initial pouring velocity. The results of the experiment applying the filter showed remarkably changed flow characteristics. The use of the filter was found to convert the flow pattern of water in the desired direction. The ceramic foam filter performed well to reduce flow velocity and stabilize the water stream.The flow pattern without a filter can be improved significantly even with the the use of just a 10 PPI irregular filter. Although the study confirmed that use of the filter may change the flow characteristics, it needs to be noted that the use of the ceramic filter alone cannot solve all the problems caused by a poorly designed gating system.

文摘Road congestion,air pollution,and accident rates have all increased as a result of rising traffic density andworldwide population growth.Over the past ten years,the total number of automobiles has increased significantly over the world.In this paper,a novel method for intelligent traffic surveillance is presented.The proposed model is based on multilabel semantic segmentation using a random forest classifier which classifies the images into five classes.To improve the results,mean-shift clustering was applied to the segmented images.Afterward,the pixels given the label for the vehicle were extracted and blob detection was applied to mark each vehicle.For the validation of each detection,a vehicle verification method based on the structural similarity index is proposed.The tracking of vehicles across the image frames is done using the Identifier(ID)assignment technique and particle filter.Also,vehicle counting in each frame along with trajectory estimation was done for each object.Our proposed system demonstrated a remarkable vehicle detection rate of 0.83 over Vehicle Aerial Imaging from Drone(VAID),0.86 over AU-AIR,and 0.75 over the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Benchmark Object Detection and Tracking(UAVDT)dataset during the experimental evaluation.The proposed system can be used for several purposes,such as vehicle identification in traffic,traffic density estimation at intersections,and traffic congestion sensing on a road.

文摘Characteristics of a premixed, swirl methane/air diffusion flame at atmospheric pressure are measured by filtered Rayleigh scattering(FRS). Three operating conditions are investigated with the equivalence ratios of the methane/air flame covering a range of 0.67–0.83. Under each condition, single-shot and averaged FRS images over a region measured 39.3×65.6 mm^(2) at seven cross sections of the flame are collected to demonstrate the flame behavior. A gradient calculation algorithm is applied to identify reaction zone locations and structures in the instantaneous FRS measurements.Statistical analysis for the mean FRS measurements is performed by means of joint probability density functions. The experimental results indicate that thermochemical state of the swirl flame is strongly influenced by equivalence ratio, leading to varieties of flame structures and temperature distributions. The gradient of the instantaneous FRS images clearly illustrates the characteristics of the reaction zone. The results also demonstrate that FRS can provide detailed insights into the behavior of turbulent flames.
