This paper describes a real-time pedestrian detection processor of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) using a novel structure aided by E-HOG IP. This structure proposes a three stages detection to reduce the amount of calculation and improve the processing speed. Compared to the traditional methods, in the first stage, the Sobel-step can select windows of interest before feature extraction and classification. In the second stage, the uniform-LBP (Local Binary Pattern), which is implemented cell by cell, has approximately half-dimension of HOG and simultaneous SVM (Support Vector Machine) to decrease total computation. In the third stage, improved HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradient), called E-HOG (Efficient-HOG), is suitable to be realized in hardware. E-HOG and SVM are adopted to improve the detection rate. To evaluate the performance, the proposed structure is implemented into an FPGA while the E-HOG is manufactured as one common IP. The results indicate that this processor can detect pedestrians with 48 fps for VGA resolution under 25Mhz in low FPGA series and satisfy the demand of real-time.

The efficient and reliable marine vehicle is an important tool to develop marine resources, and the lack of reliable power supply methods is one of the important issues that restrict the development of marine vehicle. This paper designs a new type of marine vehicle that can use environmental energy to absorb wave energy and convert it into electricity. The generated electric energy is temporarily stored in a battery or directly supplied to its own equipment. This article describes the main structure of the new marine vehicle and focuses on the energy module of the vehicle. And the energy module has been analysed and optimized. In this paper, the influence of the blade angle on the performance characteristics of the energy module is numerically analysed, and its variation law which lays a foundation for further structural optimization is obtained.

With the development of wave energy extraction technology, the performance requirements of wave energy converters have also become higher in order to maximize operating efficiency and the use of wave energy. In this paper, the wave energy characteristics and energy storage characteristics of current common wave energy converters are studied for this demand. Because small-scale wave energy convertors are characterized by their strong mobility and relatively lower power generation, it is not easy to integrate the generated energy directly into the power grid. Therefore, a small, highly efficient and environmentally friendly storage method is needed. Through investigation, the lithium battery pack is used to store the energy output from the convertors by means of a filtered regulated charging circuit.

In order to accurately model compliant mechanism utilizing plate flexures, qualitative planar stress (Young's modulus) and planar strain (plate modulus) assumptions are not feasible. This paper investigates a quantitative equivalent modulus using nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) to reflect coupled factors in affecting the modelling accuracy of two typical distrib- uted-compliance mechanisms. It has been shown that all parameters have influences on the equivalent modulus with different degrees; that the presence of large load-stiffening effect makes the equivalent modulus significantly deviate from the planar assumptions in two ideal scenarios; and that a plate modulus assumption is more reasonable for a very large out-of-plane thickness if the beam length is large.

The oil recovery technology of submersible electric pump has the advantages of multi-function and strong adaptability, which has become one of the important lifting methods at present. High gas-liquid ratio and low downhole pressure in oil well will lead to a large amount of natural gas in crude oil. Cavitation and air lock will shorten the pump operation cycle. Therefore, a gas separator is installed at the inlet of the pump to separate the gas from the well fluid, reducing the volume fraction of the gas entering the pump and improving the production efficiency of the pump. In this study, the flow passage of the helical separator is treated as an equal-section pipeline in the research process. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the separation efficiency and pressure loss in the helical separator are studied and the expression of the total liquid phase drag multiplier applicable to the separator structure is obtained by the method of fitting.

As potential alternative power sources used in portable electric generators, opposite axial piston engines in small-scale were investigated to show their advantages in power density. A novel cylinder charge system was introduced, based on which a quasi-dimension model and a CFD(computational fluid dynamics) model were established. Comparison of those two models was carried out to validate the quasi-dimension model. Furthermore, optimal diameter of charge cylinder and speed were determined after evaluating the quasi-dimension model based on different parameters. High agreement between the quasi-dimension model and the CFD model validates the quasi-dimension model. Further studies show that the power of engine increases with the diameter of charge cylinder. However, a too big charge cylinder lowers the fuel efficiency instead. Taking economic influence into consideration the charge cylinder should be 1.4 times power cylinder, which could ensure the power density, volumetric efficiency and fuel economic at the same time. Axial piston engine running at 1.0×104 r/min could achieve a better overall performance. The maximal power of engine with optimal parameters is 0.82 k W, which fits the power need of the portable electric generators completely.

The application of new-designed levitation controller requires extensive validation prior to enter into commercial service. However, huge mounts of approximations and assumptions lead the theoretical analysis away from the engineering practice. The experimental methods are time-consuming and financial expensive, even unrealizable due to the lack of suitable sensors. Numerical simulations can bridge the gap between the theoretical analysis and experimental techniques. A complete overall dynamic model of maglev levitation system is derived in this work, which includes the simple-supported bridges, the calculation of electromagnetic force with more details, the stress of levitation modules and the cabin. Based on the aforementioned model, it shows that the inherent nonlinearity, inner coupling, misalignments between the sensors and actuators, and self-excited vibration are the main issues that should be considered during the design process of controller. Then, the backstepping controller based on the mathematical model of the module with reasonable simplifications is proposed, and the stability proofs are listed. To show the advantage of controller, two numerical simulation experiments are carried out. Finally, the results illustrating closed-loop performance are provided.
