Existing multi-channel Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols have been demonstrated to significantly increase wireless network performance compared to single channel MAC protocols. Traditionally, the channelization structure in IEEE 802.11 based wireless networks is pre-configured, and the entire available spectrum is divided into subchannels and equal channel widths. In contrast, this paper presents a Traffic-Aware Channelization MAC (TAC-MAC) protocol for wireless ad hoc networks, where each node is equipped with a single half duplex transceiver. TAC-MAC works in a distributed, fine-grai-ned manner, which dynamically divides variable-width subchannels and allocates subchannel width based on the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technique according to the traffic demands of nodes. Simulations show that the TAC-MAC can significantly improve network throughput and reduce packet delay compared with both fixed-width multi-channel MAC and single channel 802.11 protocols, which illustrates a new paradigm for high-efficient multi-channel MAC design in wireless ad hoc networks.

This paper presents a 3-transistor CMOS active pixel structure with in-pixel correlated double sampling. designed in a standard 0.18 μm CMOS process, the structure effectively suppresses temporal noise and fixed pattern noise (FPN), thanks to the shared correlated double sampling circuit inside the pixel. Fill factor is also improved while maintaining pixel performance. Validation by Spectre simulator shows that the proposed structure suppresses 100 mV input offset to the microvolt range, and the pixel readout time is ~90 ns. The average power consumption of each pixel is 18 μW.

Avoiding use of traditional high-speed analog-to digital converters (ADCs) and constant fraction discriminators, multi-voltage threshold (MVT) method is able to digitally sample positron emission tomography (PET) scintillation pulse with reasonable cost. As the key component of the MVT method, a time-to-digital convertor (TDC) with high resolution and large dynamic range is presented in this work. The TDC architecture uses a delay locked loop (DLL) to generate the fast clock edges from a 100 MHz clock, and a 32-stage Vernier delay lines (VDL) is used to achieve the 40pS timing resolution. The proposed TDC is designed using the standard 0.25 μm CMOS technology with 2.5V normal supply voltage. The power consumption of the TDC is ~70 mW.

Electrical heating box with multi -loop control has several features as great inertia and coupling. It is a type of multi-variable system. To solve the problem, a kind of decoupling designed implicit generalized predictive control (IGPC) method is discussed. The Multi-variable IGPC based on decoupling design. Using decentralized objective function and feedforward decoupling, the decoupling IGPC is achieved to control a multi -variable system. According to input and output data, the parameters of optimal control law could be identified through use of Recursive Least Squares (RLS). This method avoids solving Diophantine equations by online. The IGPC is used for control electrical heating box with three multi-loops through simulation study. In the test process, compared with the IGPC effect and traditional PID control effect and analyzed the control effect through changing softness parameter. The test results show that the IGPC could eliminate the coupling between loops and have good control stability.

The pulsed eddy current (PEC) technique generates responses over a wide range of frequencies, containing more spectral coverage than traditional eddy current inspection. Eddy current pulsed thermography (ECPT), a newly developed non-destructive testing (NDT) technique, has advantages such as rapid inspection of a large area within a short time, high spatial resolution, high sensitivity and stand-off measurement distance. This paper investigates ECPT for the evaluation of gear fatigue tests. The paper proposes a statistical method based on single channel blind source separation to extract details of gear fatigue. The discussion of transient thermal distribution and patterns of fatigue contact surfaces as well as the non-contact surfaces have been reported. In addition, the measurement for gears with different cycles of fatigue tests by ECPTand the comparison results between ECPT with magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) have been evaluated. The comparison shows the competitive capability of ECPT in fatigue evaluation.

Braided composites are becoming popular especially for structural applications because of their natural tendency to conform to intricate shapes and more balanced properties than unidirectional laminates. In the present work three dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) of Biaxial and Triaxial braided composite have been performed by developing meso-scale model to evaluate the effective material properties of carbon/epoxy materiaal system. A unit-cell based methodology has been adopted to account for the braiding style, matrix and the fiber-matrix interface. The simulations were performed using commercial FEA code ANSYS® and periodic boundary conditions (PBC) has been applied on the unit cells. By varying the braiding angle from 15° to 75°, the effective material properties were predicted and the variation of the engineering constants with the braiding angle was studied. The results obtained were in close agreement with the available experimental data. The technique of developing the meso-mechanical model for analyzing the mechanics of textile composite is very effective. It truly reflects the braided structure and corresponds with the actual pattern of the braided composites. In addition to that the dynamic response of the structure by changing braiding angle was investigated. The vibration analysis showed that the natural frequency of the structure is decreased by increasing the braiding angle.

Rock and rock mass are non-homogeneous medium with complex micro- and meso-scopic structures. Dispersion effect is caused by the interaction between the elastic wave and these micro- and meso-defects in rocks. A double-crack model is used to study the effect of microscopic structures on the dispersion of elastic waves. In the model, the interaction between these two cracks is considered to analyze the effect of multiple scattering. Among these double-crack systems, a linear superposition method is adopted to analyze the localization of the effect of defects in rocks. Mathematically, based on the fundamental solution of wave propagation equation with Green function method, and combined with the boundary integral method, cracks are treated as inner boundaries and dispersion equation is obtained. Furthermore, the difference between these two ways of interaction of cracks is analyzed, and the influence of the micro discontinuity parameters of the double-crack system, pore fluid pressure and unloading on the dispersion of rocks is discussed.
