文摘Aiming at the problem that the bit error rate(BER)of asymmetrically clipped optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(ACO-OFDM)space optical communication system is significantly affected by different turbulence intensities,the deep learning technique is proposed to the polarization code decoding in ACO-OFDM space optical communication system.Moreover,this system realizes the polarization code decoding and signal demodulation without frequency conduction with superior performance and robustness compared with the performance of traditional decoder.Simulations under different turbulence intensities as well as different mapping orders show that the convolutional neural network(CNN)decoder trained under weak-medium-strong turbulence atmospheric channels achieves a performance improvement of about 10^(2)compared to the conventional decoder at 4-quadrature amplitude modulation(4QAM),and the BERs for both 16QAM and 64QAM are in between those of the conventional decoder.

文摘The syndrome a posteriori probability of the log-likelihood ratio of intercepted codewords is used to develop an algorithm that recognizes the polar code length and generator matrix of the underlying polar code.Based on the encoding structure,three theorems are proved,two related to the relationship between the length and rate of the polar code,and one related to the relationship between frozen-bit positions,information-bit positions,and codewords.With these three theorems,polar codes can be quickly reconstruced.In addition,to detect the dual vectors of codewords,the statistical characteristics of the log-likelihood ratio are analyzed,and then the information-and frozen-bit positions are distinguished based on the minimumerror decision criterion.The bit rate is obtained.The correctness of the theorems and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are validated through simulations.The proposed algorithm exhibits robustness to noise and a reasonable computational complexity.

文摘In this paper,we first generalize the constant dimension and orbit codes over finite fields to the constant rank and orbit codes over finite chain rings.Then we provide a relationship between constant rank codes over finite chain rings and constant dimension codes over the residue fields.In particular,we prove that an orbit submodule code over a finite chain ring is a constant rank code.Finally,for special finite chain ring F_(q)+γF_(q),we define a Gray mapφfrom(F_(q)+γF_(q))^(n)to F^(2n)_(q),and by using cyclic codes over F_(q)+γF_(q),we obtain a method of constructing an optimum distance constant dimension code over F_(q).

文摘National Fire codes,mandated by government authorities to tackle technical challenges in fire prevention and control,establish fundamental standards for construction practices.International collaboration in fire protection technologies has opened avenues for China to access a wealth of documents and codes,which are crucial in crafting regulations and developing a robust,scientific framework for fire code formulation.However,the translation of these codes into Chinese has been inadequate,thereby diminishing the benefits of technological exchange and collaborative learning.This underscores the necessity for comprehensive research into code translation,striving for higher-quality translations guided by established translation theories.In this study,we translated the initial segment of the NFPA 1 Fire Code into Chinese and examined both the source text and target text through the lens of Translation Shift Theory,a concept introduced by Catford.The conclusion culminated in identifying four key shifts across various linguistic levels:lexis,sentences,and groups,to ensure an accurate and precise translation of fire codes.This study offers a through and lucid explanation of how the translator integrates Catford’s theories to solve technical challenges in NFPA 1 Fire Code translation,and establish essential standards for construction translation practices.
文摘Binary Code Similarity Detection(BCSD)is vital for vulnerability discovery,malware detection,and software security,especially when source code is unavailable.Yet,it faces challenges from semantic loss,recompilation variations,and obfuscation.Recent advances in artificial intelligence—particularly natural language processing(NLP),graph representation learning(GRL),and large language models(LLMs)—have markedly improved accuracy,enabling better recognition of code variants and deeper semantic understanding.This paper presents a comprehensive review of 82 studies published between 1975 and 2025,systematically tracing the historical evolution of BCSD and analyzing the progressive incorporation of artificial intelligence(AI)techniques.Particular emphasis is placed on the role of LLMs,which have recently emerged as transformative tools in advancing semantic representation and enhancing detection performance.The review is organized around five central research questions:(1)the chronological development and milestones of BCSD;(2)the construction of AI-driven technical roadmaps that chart methodological transitions;(3)the design and implementation of general analytical workflows for binary code analysis;(4)the applicability,strengths,and limitations of LLMs in capturing semantic and structural features of binary code;and(5)the persistent challenges and promising directions for future investigation.By synthesizing insights across these dimensions,the study demonstrates how LLMs reshape the landscape of binary code analysis,offering unprecedented opportunities to improve accuracy,scalability,and adaptability in real-world scenarios.This review not only bridges a critical gap in the existing literature but also provides a forward-looking perspective,serving as a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners aiming to advance AI-powered BCSD methodologies and applications.

文摘The Book on Contracts of the Civil Code does not recognize"intellectual property contracts"as nominate contracts.Owing to both substantive and structural shortcomings,the Chapter on Technology Contracts falls short of providing comprehensive regulation of transactions involving intellectual property,and its Article 876 linking clause has given rise to legal controversies over application by reference and priority of application.There is therefore an urgent need to recognize intellectual property contracts as a nominate category.The rules on such contracts that are dispersed across standalone intellectual property statutes,specialized regulations,adjudicated cases,and judicial interpretations have already produced decodification and should be integrated in the course of enacting the Intellectual Property Code,so as to achieve the recodification of contracts concerning intellectual property.Specifically,the Chapter on Contracts should consist of two parts,General Provisions and Nominate Contracts,to articulate the common features and specific rules of the various contract types while confirming the applicability of the General Provisions in the Book on Contracts.In this way,systemic disorder from mechanically adding nominate contracts to the Civil Code and unnecessary complexity from creating a separate sectoral contract code can both be avoided,and the status of the Book on Contracts as the basic law in the field of contract can be preserved.

文摘This study introduces a lightweight deep learning model and a novel synthetic dataset designed to restore damaged one-dimensional(1D)barcodes and Quick Response(QR)codes,addressing critical challenges in logistics operations.The proposed solution leverages an efficient Pix2Pix-based framework,a type of conditional Generative Adversarial Network(GAN)optimized for image-to-image translation tasks,enabling the recovery of degraded barcodes and QR codes with minimal computational overhead.A core contribution of this work is the development of a synthetic dataset that simulates realistic damage scenarios frequently encountered in logistics environments,such as low contrast,misalignment,physical wear,and environmental interference.By training on this diverse and realistic dataset,the model demonstrates exceptional performance in restoring readability and decoding accuracy.The lightweight architecture,featuring a U-Net-based encoder-decoder with separable convolutions,ensures computational efficiency,making the approach suitable for real-time deployment on embedded and resource-constrained devices commonly used in logistics systems.Experimental results reveal significant improvements:QR code decoding ratios increased from 14%to 99%on training data and from 15%to 68%on validation data,while 1D barcode decoding ratios improved from 7%to 73%on training data and from 9%to 44%on validation data.By providing a robust,resource-efficient solution for restoring damaged barcodes and QR codes,this study offers practical advancements for enhancing the reliability of automated scanning systems in logistics operations,particularly under challenging conditions.
