The potential use of molecular computation in attacking the Data Encryption Standard (DES) is already known, but the used computing models are not autonomous and require many tedious laboratory steps to execute. In this paper, a description of attacking DES using tile self assembly models in Θ(1) distinct tile types is given theoretically. The computation takes advantage of tiles' autonomy and the characteristic of highly distributed parallel computation. Each assembly configuration yields the ciphertext in linear time with respect to the times of the round function included in DES. The feasibility of finding the main key of DES in tile assembly models has been discussed. Analysis indicates that the tile assembly models might succeed by using a little of DNA under low error rate.

Abstract Joint flexibility is an important factor to consider in the robot control design if high performance is expected for the robot manipulators. In this paper, we propose an adaptive tracking control method which can deal with the kinematics uncertainty and uncertainties in both link and actuator dynamics of the rigid-link flexible-joint (RLFJ) robot system. Adaptive observers are designed to avoid acceleration measurements due to the fourth-order overall system dynamics. Convergence of both end-effector tracking errors and observing errors are proven and sufficient conditions are presented to guarantee system's asymptotic stability.

Auto-Disturbance Rejection controller (ADRC) has been proved to be a capable replacement of PID with unmistakable advantage in performance and practicality. But it is difficult to obtain a set of optimal parameters, for ADRC controller has too many parameters and has no deterministic rules to compute the parameters. In this paper, Objective function is constructed based on the control system performance indexes. Combined with experienced parameters of ADRC, an invasive weed optimization algorithm (IWO) is employed to obtain a set of key parameters. The simulation results show the validity of the IWO algorithm.

Solving the optimal control problem with a free final time, such as suborbital launch vehicle (SLV) trajectory optimization with two control variables and multi-constraints ones based on particle swarm optimization (PSO), the smoothness of control variable can not be satisfied by linear interpolation method. A novel method including some improving strategies based on PSO for trajectory optimization is proposed, named LCPSO which is a kind of Cooperate PSO based on Legendre orthogonal polynomials. An additional control variable is introduced and transcribes the original optimal problem to a problem with fixed final time, and one dimension searching method based on interval analysis is used to optimize the additional control variable. Furthermore, a theorem on how to find the boundaries of the coefficient of polynomials is proved. Compared with basic PSO, LCPSO has traits of lower dimensions and smoother control variable. An example of trajectory optimization shows the effectiveness of the LCPSO algorithm.

In this paper, we formulate and investigate a memristor-based switching network which is directly extended from Itoh and Chua's chaotic circuit. Conditions are derived which ensure the existence of an equilibrium point and the uniformly stable for state trajectories of the memristor-based switching network. The analysis in the paper employs results from the theory of differential equations with discontinuous right-hand side as introduced by Filippov. It is believed that the criteria in this paper is also valuable in the design of memristor-based switching network which can be used to solve efficiently classes of optimization problems arising in practical engineering applications.

Speckle is a granular noise that inherently exists in all types of coherent imaging systems. This paper presents a quantitative study on five despeckling methods such as frost filter, kuan filter, speckle reducing an isotropic diffusion, homomorphic filter and wavelet filter. We select six objective evaluation parameters, such as signal-to-ratio, contrast signal-to-noise ratio, figure of merit, least absolute error, edge protection factor, signal-to-minimum mean square error ratio, to quantify the performance of these filters. The comparative study will provide some parameter comparative reference for selecting a suitable filter in the ultrasound imageprocessing.

Heart rate (HR) signal analysis is widely used in the medicine and medical research area. Physical activities (PA) are commonly recognized to greatly affect the changes of heart rate. A method of Evolutionary Neural Network - Neuro-evolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) is used to build a PA-based HR predictor model. Through special coding, crossover and mutation operator, NEAT can implement network topology and connectivity weights evolution simultaneously. The common problem in evolutionary neural network, like competing conventions, how to protect the new innovation are effectively solved. The experimental results demonstrated the application potential of the approach.

With the economic developments, high speed railway has been paid many attentions in China and medium- short term planning of Chinese high speed railway network has been formed and most of the railways have been started into operations. In this paper, graph theory and complex network theory are adopted to assess the reliability of Chinese high speed railway network. The topological characteristics and real distances between pairs of stations are discussed to investigate the reliability of Chinese high-speed rail network. Several parameters are presented to investigate the topological characteristics and the reliability and robustness of the network subject to failures. The parameter called unit degree betweenness is proposed to assess the transport capacity of lines connecting with the nodes. The largest degree node-based attacks and the highest betweenness node-based attacks are involved into Chinese high speed railway network to assess the topological reliability and robustness. The results show that the highest betweenness node-based attacks are more effective to destroy the network than the largest degree node-based attacks. Moreover, the cumulative degree distribution and the real mileages of railways between pairs of stations can be fitted by Gauss functions, and the distribution of real shortest distances over all pairs of stations of the network is fitted by a normal distribution function. By the simulations, the critical stations, Guangzhou Station, Zhengzhou Station and Jinan Station for the largest degree node-based attacks, and Wuhan Station, Xuzhou Station and Shijiazhuang Station for the highest betweenness node-based attacks, can be obtained in this paper.

Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) has been applied to restore or maintain the muscle activity of paralyzed patients who suffer from spinal cord injuries and related neural impairments for several decades. In this paper, a portable and low-cost versatile stimulator for multichannel TES applications is described. The microcontroller-based programmable stimulator with four bipolar output channels send arbitrarily specified electrical pulses to the element in the electrode array for enabling the complex schemes of muscles. The amplitude and phase of each pulse in the stimulus sequence are independently variable, and the four channels are independently programmable, allowing a wide variety of stimulus patterns. We also designed an output circuit that can provide bi-phasic, voltage-regulated, charge-balanced outputs while avoiding the electrochemical erosion of electrode due to charge accumulation. The proposed stimulator has provided an opportunity for further study of a potential novel electrical stimulator with closed-loop stimulation paradigm suitable for a variety of FES applications, both for experimental and clinical studies.
