The decreasing feature size makes it harder to make DRAM cells which can keep the current data-holding time. When DRAM cells cannot hold data for a long time, DRAM chips need a more frequent refreshing operation. Therefore, in the near future, time and energy cost on DRAM refreshing will be no longer trivial. In this paper, we propose DRAM Error Correction Pointer(ECP), an error-correction-manner framework, to reduce DRAM refreshes without data loss. We exploit the non-uniform feature of DRAM cells with respect to the data retention time. Compared with the conventional refreshing mechanisms, which refresh DRAM chips by the retention time of the leakiest cells, we refresh the chips much fewer times, and treat the not-in-time refreshed cells as fault elements. We use the structure of ECP as a fault tolerant element. By recording the data which are supposed to be written into the leaky cells in our DRAM-ECP structures, DRAM-ECP can significantly decrease refreshing frequency. When these data are to be read out, DRAM-ECP retrieves the data stored in ECPs and covers them to the corresponding position in the data row. Our experiments show that DRAM-ECP can reduce over 70%refreshing operations than the current refreshing mechanism and also get significant energy saving.展开更多

Two of the examined processes are connected with "dry" or "wet" activation of inorganic binder in waste moulding sand mixtures physically hardened by microwave radiation. The sand mixtures consisting of high-silica sand and water-glass with average molar module 2.5, were subjected to the following cyclical process: mixing the components, compacting, microwave heating, cooling-down, thermally loading the mould to 800 °C, cooling-down to ambient temperature, and knocking-out. After being knocked-out, the waste moulding sands were subjected to either dry or wet activation of the binder. To activate thermally treated inorganic binder, each of the examined processes employed the surface phenomenon usually associated to mechanical reclamation. The study also covered possible use of some elements of wet reclamation to rehydrate waste binder. To evaluate the effectiveness of the two proposed methods of waste binder activation, selected strength and technological parameters were measured. After each subsequent processing cycle, the permeability, tensile strength and bending strength were determined. In addition, the surface of activated sand grains was examined with a scanning electron microscope. Analysis of the results indicates that it is possible to re-activate the used binder such as sodium silicate, and to stabilize the strength parameters in both activation processes. Permeability of the refreshed moulding sands strongly depends on the surface condition of high-silica grains. The wet activation process by wetting and buffering knocked-out moulding sands in closed humid environment makes it possible to reduce the content of refreshing additive in water-glass. The moulding sands cyclically prepared in both processes do not require the addition of fresh high-silica sand. The relatively high quality achieved in the refreshed moulding sands allows them to be reused for manufacture of next moulds. Thus, the two proposed methods for cyclically processing used moulding sands containing sodium silicate, subject to microwave hardening, are suitable for economic and ecological circulation moulding mixtures.展开更多

It can also stop error propagation and reduce channel distortion effectively.

The DR 3DEnVar system combines a high-resolution（HR） deterministic background forecast with lower-resolution（LR） EnKF ensemble perturbations used for flow-dependent background error covariance to produce a HR analysis. The computational cost is substantially reduced by running the ensemble forecasts and EnKF analyses at LR. The DR 3DEnVar system is tested with 3-h cycles over a 9-day period using a 40/13-km grid spacing combination. The HR forecasts from the DR hybrid analyses are compared with forecasts launched from HR Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation（GSI） 3D variational（3DVar）analyses, and single LR hybrid analyses interpolated to the HR grid. With the DR 3DEnVar system, a 90% weight for the ensemble covariance yields the lowest forecast errors and the DR hybrid system clearly outperforms the HR GSI 3DVar.Humidity and wind forecasts are also better than those launched from interpolated LR hybrid analyses, but the temperature forecasts are slightly worse. The humidity forecasts are improved most. For precipitation forecasts, the DR 3DEnVar always outperforms HR GSI 3DVar. It also outperforms the LR 3DEnVar, except for the initial forecast period and lower thresholds.展开更多

Based on the error-propagation analysis in a group of pictures （GOP）, we propose an unequal Forced-Intra-Refresh （FIR） scheme to improve packet loss resilience of video streaming. According to a GOP-level error-propagation model, the proposed unequal FIR scheme can optimally increase the unequal number of forced intra-mode MBs for different frames in a GOP. Simulation results showed that the proposed scheme can effectively enhance the robustness of video streaming under different channel conditions, and achieve about 0. 1-0.9 dB gains over the average FIR scheme in H.264/AVC tools.展开更多

In addition, the surface of activated sand grains was examined with a scanning electron microscope. Analysis of the results indicates that it is possible to re-activate the used binder such as sodium silicate, and to stabilize the strength parameters in both activation processes. Permeability of the refreshed moulding sands strongly depends on the surface condition of high-silica grains. The wet activation process by wetting and buffering knocked-out moulding sands in closed humid environment makes it possible to reduce the content of refreshing additive in water-glass.

文摘We propose a novel prioritized intra refresh method for the wireless video communication.The proposed method considers the characteristics of the human visual system,the error-sensitivity of the bitstream,and the state of the time-varying wireless channel jointly.An expected perceptual distortion model was used to adjust the intra refresh rate adaptively.This model consists of the perceptual weight map based on an attention model,the bit error probability map based on bitstream size,and the dynamic channel state information(CSI).Experimental results indicate that,compared with other intra refresh methods that consider only the content of the video or the CSI,the proposed method improves the average peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR) of the whole frame by about 0.5 dB,and improves the average PSNR of the attention-area by about 0.8 dB.

文摘For video streaming over lossy channels, intra refresh can mitigate the error-propagation effect caused by packet losses Besides some intra-mode macroblocks （MBs） generated by the ＂Lagrangian rate-distortion＂ or ＂Sum of absolute difference＂ mode decision, the encoder or transcoder possibly needs to increase some ＂forced＂ intra-mode MBs for robust video streaming. Based on the error-propagation analysis in a group of pictures （GOP）, we propose an unequal Forced-Intra-Refresh （FIR） scheme to improve packet loss resilience of video streaming. According to a GOP-level error-propagation model, the proposed unequal FIR scheme can optimally increase the unequal number of forced intra-mode MBs for different frames in a GOP. Simulation results showed that the proposed scheme can effectively enhance the robustness of video streaming under different channel conditions, and achieve about 0. 1-0.9 dB gains over the average FIR scheme in H.264/AVC tools.

文摘For the encoding bit-rate problem in H.264 wireless video communication, this paper analyzes the bit-rate computation model and the Mean Square Error distortion model, establishes the relation between the quantization parameter of the encoding bit-rate and the intra frame refresh rate of the macro block, and put forward a new ideal about the coding rate on the basis of general binomial computation model theory. Furthermore, this method not only can adaptively adjust the bit allocation and quantization pa rameter and prevents buffer from overflowing downward or upward under given network bandwidth, but also can apply the rate-distortion to optimize the solution method, control the encoding bits accurately and optimizes the allocation between the intra and inter frame encoding macro block.
文摘Problems of the current IGMP mechanism were identified, such as unnecessary periodic probing of hosts and leave latency, which wastes bandwidth and cause more traffic and overhead. Alternative mechanism that preserve the IP multicast model but employ join/leave messages to track local group membership for broadcast LANs (shared medium LANs) was proposed in this paper. We describe the implementation requirements of the new mechanism and compare it to existing one, demonstrating that join/leave approach is uniformly superior for the environment of broadcast LANs.
