A low-cost device using acoustic method for measuring open-end tube length is developed. The proposed device is aimed to get the length of the tubes which are piled up together, and only one end of which is available in the warehouse or dumping areas. The device contains the emitting and receiving probes to echo the sound pulse and receive the reflection sound wave, and has been developed with discrete component circuits whose key part is the logical control circuit based on ARM. Experiments are performed in the open tubes with the lengths between 0.85 m to 6 m. The measurement error is below 0.5 cm. For the tubes blocked by the cement or earth, the device can detect the location of obstruction automatically. Based on the acoustic method, experiments are also conducted in the blocked tubes based on Matlab software, and the analysis of the reflection wave is given.

Reentry trajectory optimization is a multi-constraints optimal control problem which is hard to solve. To tackle it, we proposed a new algorithm named CDEN(Constrained Differential Evolution Newton-Raphson Algorithm) based on Differential Evolution(DE) and *** transform the infinite dimensional optimal control problem to parameter optimization which is finite dimensional by discretize control parameter. In order to simplify the problem, we figure out the control parameter's scope by process constraints. To handle constraints, we proposed a parameterless constraints handle process. Through comprehensive analyze the problem, we use a new algorithm integrated by DE and Newton-Raphson to solve it. It is validated by a reentry vehicle X-33, simulation results indicated that the algorithm is effective and robust.
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 ...

Gender is an important demographic attribute of human beings, automatic face based gender classification has promising applications in various fields. Previous methods mainly deal with frontal face images, which in many cases can not be easily obtained. In contrast, we concentrate on gender classification based on face profiles and ear images in this paper. Hierarchical and discriminative bag of features technique is proposed to extract powerful features which are classified by support vector classification (SVC) with histogram intersection kernel. With the output of SVC, fusion of multi-modalities is performed at the score level based on Bayesian analysis to improve the accuracy. Experiments are conducted using texture images of the UND biometrics data sets Collection F, and average classification accuracy of 97.65% is achieved, which is comparable to the state of the art. Our work can be used in cooperate with existing frontal face based methods for accurate multi- view gender classification.

This paper presents a novel method for synthesizing artificial visual light (VIS) face images from near-infrared (NIR) inputs. Active NIR imaging is now widely employed because it is unobtrusive, invariant of environmental illuminations, and can penetrate glasses and sweats. Unfortunately, NIR imaging exhibits discrepant photic properties compared with VIS imaging. Based on recent results of re search on compressive sensing, natural images can be compressed and recovered with an overcomplete dictionary by sparse representation coefficients. In our approach a pair wise dictionary is trained from randomly sampled coupled face patches, which contains sparse coded base functions to reconstruct representation coefficients via l 1 -minimization. We will demonstrate that this method is robust to moderate pose and expression variations, and is efficient in computing. Comparative experiments are conducted with state-of the-art algol 1 -minimization. We will demonstraterithms.

In formal language theory of two-dimensions, 2D picture grammars are powerful tools to generate picture languages. In this work, we incorporate the idea of membrane systems (also called P systems) into 2D picture grammars, thus introducing a new kind of picture language generating devices, named P systems with 2D picture grammars. Inspired by the structure and functioning of living cells, such a system has a hierarchical membrane structure, symbol array objects and evolution rules of 2D picture grammars. In each region delimited by the membrane structure, array objects can evolve in a parallel manner according to evolution rules present in the region, like the way biochemical objects evolve in living cells or organisms. The computational result of P system with 2D picture grammars is the set of pictures (rectangular arrays) present in a specific output membrane when the system halts. We obtain several comparison results, which show that with the membrane structure, the generating power of Siromoney matrix grammar, 2D context-free grammar and basic puzzle grammar can be enlarged.

Recently, Gutierrez-Naranjo and Leporati considered performing basic arithmetic operations on a new class of bioinspired computing devices -- spiking neural P systems (for short, SN P systems). However, the binary encoding mechanism used in their research looks like the encoding approach in electronic circuits, instead of the style of spiking neurons (in usual SN P systems, information are encoded as the time interval between spikes). In this work, three SN P systems are constructed as adder, subtracter and multiplier, respectively. In these devices, a number is inputted to the system as the interval of time elapsed between two spikes received by input neuron, the result of a computation is the time between the moments when the output neuron spikes.
