Various encoding schemes are examined from the point of view of minimizing the mean magnitude error of a signal caused by transmission through a binary symmetric channel. A necessary property is developed for optimal codes for any binary symmetric channel and any set of quantization levels. The class of optimal codes is found for the case where the probability of error is small but realistic. This class of codes includes the natural numbering and some unit distance codes, among which are the Gray codes.

Noise in MOS diodes arises from different sources: fluctuations in occupation of surface states, shot noise, and leakage noise. Fluctuations in the occupation of surface states produce changes in the surface space-charge distribution which in turn produce currents. Shot noise is produced by fluctuations of the individual drift and diffusion flows toward the surface. Leakage noise is associated with the small flow of current through the oxide. In MOS triodes these three mechanisms give rise to gate noise and thus input noise in the amplifier, but the first one produces an important indirect effect. Fluctuations in the occupation of interface states result in modulation of the channel conductance. At low frequencies this modulation is the dominant effect, giving rise to a noise power spectrum which resembles 1/f noise. At high frequencies, where only thermal noise in the channel and input noise are of importance, MOS triodes are similar to junction field effect devices from the noise point of view.

Low-pressure collimation sputtering was applied to trench filling with soft magnetic materials. Collimation and substrate bias were found effective to fill the trenches with a uniform film. NiFe and CoZrNb were tested as soft magnetic materials, and it was found that NiFe was suitable for the process. Stripes of NiFe about two micron wide and one micron high, and with excellent morphology, were fabricated inside trenches by combining collimation sputtering with an etch-back process.

The impact of negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) can be ascribed to three mutually uncorrelated factors, including hole trapping by pre-existing traps (△ VHT) in gate insulator, generated traps (△ VOT) in bulk insulator, and interface trap generation (△ VIT). In this paper, we have experimentally investigated the NBTI characteristic for a 40-nm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. The power-law time dependence, temperature activation, and field acceleration have also been explored based on the physical reaction-diffusion model. Moreover, the end-of-life of stressed device dependent on the variation of stress field and temperature have been evaluated. With the consideration of locking effect, the recovery characteristics have been modelled and discussed.

A feasible method was proposed to improve the vibration intensity of screen surface via application of a new type elastic screen surface with multi degree of freedom(NTESSMDF). In the NTESSMDF, the primary robs were coupled to the main screen structure with ends embedded into the elastomers, and the secondary robs were attached to adjacent two primary robs with elastic bands. The dynamic model of vibrating screen with NTESSMDF was established based on Lagrange's equation and the equivalent stiffnesses of the elastomer and elastic band were calculated. According to numerical simulation using the 4th order Runge-Kutta method, the vibration intensity of screen surface can be enhanced substantially with an averaged acceleration amplitude increasing ratio of 72.36%. The primary robs and secondary robs vibrate inversely in steady state, which would result in the friability of materials and avoid stoppage. The experimental results validate the dynamic characteristics with acceleration amplitude rising by62.93% on average, which demonstrates the feasibility of NTESSMDF.

A direct-drive selective compliance assembly robot arm (DDSCARA) poses difficulties in system optimisation due to numerous design parameters and strong coupling between components. This article presents a new optimisation framework based on the characteristic parameters surrogate model to solve the computation burden of the DDSCARA motion system optimisation. The framework divides the optimisation problem into three sub-optimisations. Firstly, we construct a characteristic parameters surrogate model of the direct-drive motor (DDM) by multi-objective optimisation to reduce the training dataset size at the component level. Secondly, in the system-level optimisation, we take the cost and reliability indicators as the optimisation objectives and obtain the optimal characteristic parameters of the DDMs, motion trajectory parameters, and design parameters of other components. A pre-optimisation of the DDM characteristic parameters using gradient descent is used to accelerate the convergence and improve optimisation results. Thirdly, the closest point method and Bayesian optimisation are used to recover the DDM design parameters. For the given optimisation problem, the new framework saves 97.7% computation time compared to the traditional framework. We design an optimised prototype and conduct comparative experiments with the original prototype. The optimised prototype achieves 33% and 12.5% improvements in reliability and unit production per hour, respectively.

In an attempt to increase the wear resistance of automotive powertrain components, General Motors research and developmentcenter initiated a study, to determine the potential of surface modification as a means of improving the tribological properties of highly eutectic aluminum allows, and to investigate feasibility of their mass production. In particular, plasma Immersion ion implantation technique was employed to develop diamond-like hydrocarbon coating of aluminum 390 alloy and the coating's performance was verified both in a bench and, in an engine dynamometer test.

A computational algorithm is presented for determining whether a graph is planar. All of the operations of the algorithm are expressed in terms of the incidence matrix of the graph. If the graph is nonplanar, the algorithm systematically identifies a set of edges whose deletion yields a subgraph that is planar. A simple procedure for drawing the planar subgraph is also presented. The algorithm has been programmed for a computer and is computationally efficient. The program can also be used to obtain a planar partition of a nonplanar graph. The algorithm is based on a decomposition theorem which reduces the problem of testing the planarity of an arbitrary graph G to the problem of testing the planarity of a set of "pseudo-Hamiltonian" graphs which are systematically formed from G . The necessary and sufficient conditions that a pseudo-Hamiltonian graph be planar are presented. These conditions are expressed directly in terms of the incidence matrix of the graph. The incidence matrix implementation is applied to arbitrary graphs by means of the decomposition theorem. Several techniques which are necessary to insure the convergence and computational efficiency of the algorithm are given.
