To overcome the issue, this paper presents a new SPO reduction technique for MDLLs. The technique is based on the observation that the SPO of MDLL is mainly caused by the non-idealities on charge pump (e.g. sink and source current mismatch), and control line (e.g. gate leakage of loop filter and voltage controlled delay line (VCDL) control circuit). With a high gain stage inserting between phase detector/phase frequency detector (PD/PFD) and charge pump, the equivalent SPO has been decreased by a factor equal to the gain of the gain stage. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is validated by a Simulink model of MDLL. The equivalent SPO is measured by the power level of reference spur.展开更多

A new valence electron structure (VES) parameter-transformation effect coefficient of alloying elements (HL), is defined and then studied both theoretically and ex- perimentally. The relationship between the parameter HL and the multiplying factor (the quenching capability factor) of alloying elements is studied. The results indi- cate that the two parameters (HL and the quenching capability factor) have the same variation characteristic and substance feature. Therefore, the multiplying factor virtually expresses the relative quantity of structural units in the alloying elements-containing austenite.展开更多

To achieve this, we introduce a novel approach that incorporates an L1-regularizer term in BF weight state estimation. We start by explaining the CMBB formation mechanism under conditions where there is a mismatch in the far-field signal model. Subsequently, we reformulate the BF weight state estimation challenge using a method known as variable-splitting, turning it into a noise minimization problem. This problem combines both linear and nonlinear quadratic terms with an L1-regularizer that promotes the sparsity. The optimization strategy is based on a variable-splitting method, implemented using the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers(ADMM). Furthermore, a variable-splitting framework is developed to enhance BF weight state estimation, employing a Kalman Smoother(KS) optimization algorithm. The approach integrates the Rauch-TungStriebel smoother to perform posterior-smoothing state estimation by leveraging prior data. We provide proof of convergence for both linear and nonlinear CMBB state estimation technology using the variable-splitting KS and the iterated extended Kalman smoother. Simulations corroborate our theoretical analysis, showing that the proposed method achieves robust stability and effective convergence, even when faced with signal model mismatches.展开更多

文摘Static phase offset (SPO) in conventional multiplying delay-locked loops (MDLLs) dramatically degrades the deterministic jitter performance. To overcome the issue, this paper presents a new SPO reduction technique for MDLLs. The technique is based on the observation that the SPO of MDLL is mainly caused by the non-idealities on charge pump (e.g. sink and source current mismatch), and control line (e.g. gate leakage of loop filter and voltage controlled delay line (VCDL) control circuit). With a high gain stage inserting between phase detector/phase frequency detector (PD/PFD) and charge pump, the equivalent SPO has been decreased by a factor equal to the gain of the gain stage. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is validated by a Simulink model of MDLL. The equivalent SPO is measured by the power level of reference spur.

文摘Grasping is one of the most fundamental operations in modern robotics applications.While deep rein-forcement learning(DRL)has demonstrated strong potential in robotics,there is too much emphasis on maximizing the cumulative reward in executing tasks,and the potential safety risks are often ignored.In this paper,an optimization method based on safe reinforcement learning(Safe RL)is proposed to address the robotic grasping problem under safety constraints.Specifically,considering the obstacle avoidance constraints of the system,the grasping problem of the manipulator is modeled as a Constrained Markov Decision Process(CMDP).The Lagrange multiplier and a dynamic weighted mechanism are introduced into the Proximal Policy Optimization(PPO)framework,leading to the development of the dynamic weighted Lagrange PPO(DWL-PPO)algorithm.The behavior of violating safety constraints is punished while the policy is optimized in this proposed method.In addition,the orientation control of the end-effector is included in the reward function,and a compound reward function adapted to changes in pose is designed.Ultimately,the efficacy and advantages of the suggested method are proved by extensive training and testing in the Pybullet simulator.The results of grasping experiments reveal that the recommended approach provides superior safety and efficiency compared with other advanced RL methods and achieves a good trade-off between model learning and risk aversion.

文摘Sensitivity encoding(SENSE)is a parallel magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)reconstruction model by utilizing the sensitivity information of receiver coils to achieve image reconstruction.The existing SENSE-based reconstruction algorithms usually used nonadaptive sparsifying transforms,resulting in a limited reconstruction accuracy.Therefore,we proposed a new model for accurate parallel MRI reconstruction by combining the L0 norm regularization term based on the efficient sum of outer products dictionary learning(SOUPDIL)with the SENSE model,called SOUPDIL-SENSE.The SOUPDIL-SENSE model is mainly solved by utilizing the variable splitting and alternating direction method of multipliers techniques.The experimental results on four human datasets show that the proposed algorithm effectively promotes the image sparsity,eliminates the noise and artifacts of the reconstructed images,and improves the reconstruction accuracy.
文摘This paper presents an innovative and effective control strategy tailored for a deregulated,diversified energy system involving multiple interconnected area.Each area integrates a unique mix of power generation technologies:Area 1 combines thermal,hydro,and distributed generation;Area 2 utilizes a blend of thermal units,distributed solar technologies(DST),and hydro power;andThird control area hosts geothermal power station alongside thermal power generation unit and hydropower units.The suggested control system employs a multi-layered approach,featuring a blended methodology utilizing the Tilted Integral Derivative controller(TID)and the Fractional-Order Integral method to enhance performance and stability.The parameters of this hybrid TID-FOI controller are finely tuned using an advanced optimization method known as the Walrus Optimization Algorithm(WaOA).Performance analysis reveals that the combined TID-FOI controller significantly outperforms the TID and PID controllers when comparing their dynamic response across various system configurations.The study also incorporates investigation of redox flow batteries within the broader scope of energy storage applications to assess their impact on system performance.In addition,the research explores the controller’s effectiveness under different power exchange scenarios in a deregulated market,accounting for restrictions on generation ramp rates and governor hysteresis effects in dynamic control.To ensure the reliability and resilience of the presented methodology,the system transitions and develops across a broad range of varying parameters and stochastic load fluctuation.To wrap up,the study offers a pioneering control approach-a hybrid TID-FOI controller optimized via the Walrus Optimization Algorithm(WaOA)-designed for enhanced stability and performance in a complex,three-region hybrid energy system functioning within a deregulated framework.

文摘In this paper,we design an efficient,multi-stage image segmentation framework that incorporates a weighted difference of anisotropic and isotropic total variation(AITV).The segmentation framework generally consists of two stages:smoothing and thresholding,thus referred to as smoothing-and-thresholding(SaT).In the first stage,a smoothed image is obtained by an AITV-regularized Mumford-Shah(MS)model,which can be solved efficiently by the alternating direction method of multipliers(ADMMs)with a closed-form solution of a proximal operator of the l_(1)-αl_(2) regularizer.The convergence of the ADMM algorithm is analyzed.In the second stage,we threshold the smoothed image by K-means clustering to obtain the final segmentation result.Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed segmentation framework is versatile for both grayscale and color images,effcient in producing high-quality segmentation results within a few seconds,and robust to input images that are corrupted with noise,blur,or both.We compare the AITV method with its original convex TV and nonconvex TVP(O<p<1)counterparts,showcasing the qualitative and quantitative advantages of our proposed method.

文摘This paper presents a hydrodynamic analysis of a hybrid system consisting of a floating platform coupled with an array of oscillating bodies that move along the weather sidewall of the platform.Using the Lagrange multiplier method,the motion equation governing this type of motion characteristic is formulated,and the formula of the extracted wave power is derived.The numerical results demonstrate a significant increase in the hydrodynamic efficiency of oscillating bodies within specific frequency ranges in the presence of the floating platform.The incorporation of proper power take-off damping of the oscillating bodies results in a reduction in the heave motion of the platform,but it may lead to an increase in pitch motion.The analysis of the response behaviour of the system shows that both the heave motion and pitch motion of the platform contribute to the power extraction and relative motion between the buoys and the platform.Parametric investigations are conducted to explore the hydrodynamic interactions between the floating platform and the buoy array.Additionally,the concept of“hydrodynamic synergy”is proposed to describe the synergetic effect of different components of a multi-purpose platform,which is of considerable engineering interest.
文摘In this paper,X is a locally compact Hausdorff space and A is a Banach algebra.First,we study some basic features of C0(X,A)related to BSE concept,which are gotten from A.In particular,we prove that if C0(X,A)has the BSE property then A has so.We also establish the converse of this result,whenever X is discrete and A has the BSE-norm property.Furthermore,we prove the same result for the BSE property of type I.Finally,we prove that C0(X,A)has the BSE-norm property if and only if A has so.

文摘This paper is devoted to the investigation of the Landau–Ginzburg–Higgs equation(LGHe),which serves as a mathematical model to understand phenomena such as superconductivity and cyclotron waves.The LGHe finds applications in various scientific fields,including fluid dynamics,plasma physics,biological systems,and electricity-electronics.The study adopts Lie symmetry analysis as the primary framework for exploration.This analysis involves the identification of Lie point symmetries that are admitted by the differential equation.By leveraging these Lie point symmetries,symmetry reductions are performed,leading to the discovery of group invariant solutions.To obtain explicit solutions,several mathematical methods are applied,including Kudryashov's method,the extended Jacobi elliptic function expansion method,the power series method,and the simplest equation method.These methods yield solutions characterized by exponential,hyperbolic,and elliptic functions.The obtained solutions are visually represented through 3D,2D,and density plots,which effectively illustrate the nature of the solutions.These plots depict various patterns,such as kink-shaped,singular kink-shaped,bell-shaped,and periodic solutions.Finally,the paper employs the multiplier method and the conservation theorem introduced by Ibragimov to derive conserved vectors.These conserved vectors play a crucial role in the study of physical quantities,such as the conservation of energy and momentum,and contribute to the understanding of the underlying physics of the system.
