Most of the existing methods are mainly for color images, but grayscale images are widely used. For a single grayscale image with only intensity information, highlight detection and removal becomes a difficult issue.

The matrix is a common and effective approach in the compliance modeling while it is not well developed for the closed-loop serial and parallel compliant mechanisms and is not applicable to the situation when the external loads are applied on the flexure mem- bers. Concise and explicit analytical compliance models of the serial flexure-based compliant mechanisms under arbitrary loads are derived by using the matrix method. An equivalent method is proposed to deal with the situation when the external loads are applied on the flexure mem- bers. The external loads are transformed to concentrated forces applied on the rigid links, which satisfy the equa- tions of static equilibrium and also guarantee that the deformations at the displacement output point remain unchanged. Then the matrix method can be still adopted for the compliance analysis of the compliant mechanism. Finally, several specific examples and an experimental testare given to verify the effectiveness of the compliance models and the force equivalent method. The research enriches the matrix method and provides concise analytical compliance models for the serial compliant mechanism.展开更多

Some existing fast spectrum sensing algorithms cannot get specific features of the licensed users'(LUs') signal, thus they cannot be applied in this situation without knowing the power of noise. On the other hand some algorithms that yield specific features are too complicated. In this paper, an algorithm based on the cyclostationary feature detection and theory of Hilbert transformation is proposed. Comparing with the conventional cyclostationary feature detection algorithm, this approach is more flexible i.e. it can flexibly change the computational complexity according to current electromagnetic environment by changing its sampling times and the step size of cyclic frequency. Results of simulation indicate that this approach can flexibly detect the feature of received signal and provide satisfactory detection performance compared to existing approaches in low Signal-to-noise Ratio(SNR) situations.展开更多

And dual polarization diversity is particularly considered. Based on first-order three-state Markov chain, the single-input single-output(SISO) channel, a subset of the MIMO channel is first established. The ray tracing approach applied to the digital relief model(DRM) which covers the railway between Xi'an and Zhengzhou is used to obtain the state probability vector and matrix of the state transition probability. The proposed model considers both Doppler shift and temporal correlation, and the polarization correlation and spatial correlation statistical properties of large-scale fading and smallscale fading are analyzed. Moreover, useful numerical results on the MIMO HAP channel outage capacity are provided based on which, significant capacity gains with respect to the conventional SISO case are illustrated. Such statistical channel model can be applied to the future wireless communication system between HAP and high-speed train.展开更多

Each reflection component modeling is estimated by geometric relation of surface normal in diffuse and specular reflection component in the framework of Markov random field. Their maximum a posteriori estimation is calculated under Bayesian formula and highlight area is detected. Finally, image inpainting method based on the BSCB model removes highlights. Experiment reveals that this method can effectively detect grayscale image specular reflection area, improve highlight areas the repair rate.

文摘Transparent materials utilized as underwater optical windows are highly vulnerable to various forms of pollution or abrasion due to their intrinsic hydrophilic properties.This susceptibility is particularly pronounced in underwater environments where pollutants can impede the operation of these optical devices,significantly degrading or even compromising their optical properties.The glass catfish,known for its remarkable transparency in water,maintains surface cleanliness and clarity despite exposure to contaminants,impurities abrasion,and hydraulic pressure.Inspired by the glass catfish’s natural attributes,this study introduces a new solution named subaquatic abrasion-resistant and anti-fouling window(SAAW).Utilizing femtosecond laser ablation and electrodeposition,the SAAW is engineered by embedding fine metal bone structures into a transparent substrate and anti-fouling sliding layer,akin to the sturdy bones among catfish’s body.This approach significantly bolsters the window’s abrasion resistance and anti-fouling performance while maintaining high light transmittance.The sliding layer on the SAAW’s surface remarkably reduces the friction of various liquids,which is the reason that SAAW owns the great anti-fouling property.The SAAW demonstrates outstanding optical clarity even after enduring hundreds of sandpaper abrasions,attributing to the fine metal bone structures bearing all external forces and protecting the sliding layer of SAAW.Furthermore,it exhibits exceptional resistance to biological adhesion and underwater pressure.In a green algae environment,the window remains clean with minimal change in transmittance over one month.Moreover,it retains its wettability and anti-fouling properties when subjected to a depth of 30 m of underwater pressure for 30 d.Hence,the SAAW prepared by femtosecond laser ablation and electrodeposition presents a promising strategy for developing stable optical windows in liquid environments.

文摘Hard scales in scaly fish species ensure the structural and functional integrity of the inner skin and body,even when subjected to various types of external forces.Mucus and oil secreted from the inner layer of the fish skin to the surface exhibit resistance to a wide range of liquids,maintaining the antifouling properties of the fish skin surface.Inspired by these biological structures,ultra-sturdy and durable scale-armored-sliding surfaces(SASSs)were fabricated in this study using femtosecond laser electrodeposition(FED).In the FED method,a scaly structure is grown from the substrate across a sliding layer to form an SASS.The unique scale-armored structure offers protection against impact and abrasion while maintaining the performance and integrity of the structure.The mechanical sturdiness of the SASS improved by four orders of magnitude compared to that of the conventional antifouling surface.In addition,the SASS exhibited remarkable chemical durability,excellent hydraulic pressure resistance,liquid repellency,and good corrosion resistance based on characterization using various methods.FED enables the preparation of SASS on several materials,including Cu and Al and more.SASS fabricated using FED has great potential for the application of antifouling surfaces in extremely harsh environments.

文摘High-density interconnect(HDI)soft electronics that can integrate multiple individual functions into one miniaturized monolithic system is promising for applications related to smart healthcare,soft robotics,and human-machine interactions.However,despite the recent advances,the development of three-dimensional(3D)soft electronics with both high resolution and high integration is still challenging because of the lack of efficient manufacturing methods to guarantee interlayer alignment of the high-density vias and reliable interlayer electrical conductivity.Here,an advanced 3D laser printing pathway,based on femtosecond laser direct writing(FLDW),is demonstrated for preparing liquid metal(LM)-based any layer HDI soft electronics.FLDW technology,with the characteristics of high spatial resolution and high precision,allows the maskless fabrication of high-resolution embedded LM microchannels and high-density vertical interconnect accesses for 3D integrated circuits.High-aspect-ratio blind/through LM microstructures are formed inside the elastomer due to the supermetalphobicity induced during laser ablation.The LM-based HDI circuit featuring high resolution(~1.5μm)and high integration(10-layer electrical interconnection)is achieved for customized soft electronics,including various customized multilayer passive electric components,soft multilayer circuit,and cross-scale multimode sensors.The 3D laser printing method provides a versatile approach for developing chip-level soft electronics.

文摘Acoustofluidics is a term describing the class of phenomena in which mechanical or acoustic vibrations induce a deformation or a flow in a fluid.Many deficiencies in our understanding of these phenomena remain to be addressed,with respect to the fundamental theoretical framework as well as in numerous applications.In this regard,the frequency of external forcing is a key parameter.Owing to the low cost,substantial magnitude,and versatility associated with acoustofluidic phenomena at audible frequencies,studies of these phenomena in the audible range have emerged with increasing amount in recent years and have attracted considerable attention.However,compared with studies focusing on the ultrasonic frequency domain,critical features and information specific to audible acoustofluidics remain dispersed across many independent publications,and a systematic integration of the literature on this topic is necessary.Accordingly,this review summarizes the basic theory and methods for generating vibrations in the audible range,presents various applications thereof in biology,chemistry,and other fields,and provides a high-level overview of the current status of the topic to motivate developing interesting proposals for further research in this field of study.

文摘The rapid development of electric vehicles and mobile electronic devices is the main driving force to improve advanced high-performance lithium ion batteries(LIBs).The capacity,rate performance and cycle stability of LIBs rely directly on the electrode materials.As far as the development of the advanced LIBs electrode is concerned,the improvement of anode materials is more urgent than the cathode materials.Industrial production of anode materials superior to commercial graphite still faces some challenges.This review sets out the most basic LIBs anode material design.The reaction principles and structural design of carbon materials,various transition metal oxides,silicon and germanium are summarized,and then the progress of other anode materials are analyzed.Due to the rapid development of metal organic frameworks(MOFs)in energy storage and conversion in recent years,the synthesis process and energy storage mechanism of nanostructures derived from MOF precursors are also discussed.From the perspective of novel structural design,the progress of various MOFs-derived materials for alleviating the volume expansion of anode materials is discussed.Finally,challenges for the future development of advanced anode materials for LIBs will be considered.

文摘According to the previous achievement, the task assignment under the constraint of timing continuity for a cooperative air combat is studied. An extensive task assignment scenario with the background of the cooperative air combat is proposed. The utility and time of executing a task as well as the continuous combat ability are defined. The concept of the matching method of weapon and target is modified based on the analysis of the air combat scenario. The constraint framework is also redefined according to a new objective function. The constraints of timing and continuity are formulated with a new method, at the same time, the task assignment and integer programming models of the cooperative combat are established. Finally, the assignment problem is solved using the integrated linear programming software and the simulation shows that it is feasible to apply this modified model in the cooperative air combat for tasks cooperation and it is also efficient to optimize the resource assignment.

文摘Analytical compliance model is vital to the flexure- based compliant mechanism in its mechanical design and motion control. The matrix is a common and effective approach in the compliance modeling while it is not well developed for the closed-loop serial and parallel compliant mechanisms and is not applicable to the situation when the external loads are applied on the flexure mem- bers. Concise and explicit analytical compliance models of the serial flexure-based compliant mechanisms under arbitrary loads are derived by using the matrix method. An equivalent method is proposed to deal with the situation when the external loads are applied on the flexure mem- bers. The external loads are transformed to concentrated forces applied on the rigid links, which satisfy the equa- tions of static equilibrium and also guarantee that the deformations at the displacement output point remain unchanged. Then the matrix method can be still adopted for the compliance analysis of the compliant mechanism. Finally, several specific examples and an experimental testare given to verify the effectiveness of the compliance models and the force equivalent method. The research enriches the matrix method and provides concise analytical compliance models for the serial compliant mechanism.

文摘This paper focuses on improving the detection performance of spectrum sensing in cognitive radio(CR) networks under complicated electromagnetic environment. Some existing fast spectrum sensing algorithms cannot get specific features of the licensed users'(LUs') signal, thus they cannot be applied in this situation without knowing the power of noise. On the other hand some algorithms that yield specific features are too complicated. In this paper, an algorithm based on the cyclostationary feature detection and theory of Hilbert transformation is proposed. Comparing with the conventional cyclostationary feature detection algorithm, this approach is more flexible i.e. it can flexibly change the computational complexity according to current electromagnetic environment by changing its sampling times and the step size of cyclic frequency. Results of simulation indicate that this approach can flexibly detect the feature of received signal and provide satisfactory detection performance compared to existing approaches in low Signal-to-noise Ratio(SNR) situations.

文摘In order to investigate the benefit of multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) technique applying to the high altitude platform(HAP), a 2×2 MIMO statistical model, which can accurately describe the channel between HAP and high-speed train, is presented. And dual polarization diversity is particularly considered. Based on first-order three-state Markov chain, the single-input single-output(SISO) channel, a subset of the MIMO channel is first established. The ray tracing approach applied to the digital relief model(DRM) which covers the railway between Xi'an and Zhengzhou is used to obtain the state probability vector and matrix of the state transition probability. The proposed model considers both Doppler shift and temporal correlation, and the polarization correlation and spatial correlation statistical properties of large-scale fading and smallscale fading are analyzed. Moreover, useful numerical results on the MIMO HAP channel outage capacity are provided based on which, significant capacity gains with respect to the conventional SISO case are illustrated. Such statistical channel model can be applied to the future wireless communication system between HAP and high-speed train.

文摘Zinc-ion batteries are promising for large-scale electrochemical energy storage systems,which still suffer from interfacial issues,e.g.,hydrogen evolution side reaction(HER),self-corrosion,and uncontrollable dendritic Zn electrodeposition.Although the regulation of electric double layer(EDL)has been verified for interfacial issues,the principle to select the additive as the regulator is still misted.Here,several typical amino acids with different characteristics were examined to reveal the interfacial behaviors in regulated EDL on the Zn anode.Negative charged acidic polarity(NCAP)has been unveiled as the guideline for selecting additive to reconstruct EDL with an inner zincophilic H_(2)O-poor layer and to replace H_(2)O molecules of hydrated Zn^(2+)with NCAP glutamate.Taking the synergistic effects of EDL regulation,the uncontrollable interface is significantly stabilized from the suppressed HER and anti-self-corrosion with uniform electrodeposition.Consequently,by adding NCAP glutamate,a high average Coulombic efficiency of 99.83%of Zn metal is achieved in Zn|Cu asymmetrical cell for over 2000 cycles,and NH4V4O10|Zn full cell exhibits a high-capacity retention of 82.1%after 3000 cycles at 2 A g^(-1).Recapitulating,the NCAP principle posted here can quicken the design of trailblazing electrolyte additives for aqueous Zn-based electrochemical energy storage systems.
