A portable wireless body sensor data logger and its application in video capsule endoscopy

Due to the advancement of low power miniature electronic devices, there is growing interest of physiological data sensing and recording using wireless body sensor networks. The paper presents the design of a portable physiological data logger that includes rechargeable battery, wireless radio frequency and Bluetooth connectivity, and graphical display with touch screen capability. The target application is video capsule endoscopy. Image data are logged in micro SD cards which can be easily transferred to PC or Smartphone using SD card reader, USB interface or Bluetooth wireless link. The hardware design is general and can be used in various medical or industrial applications by changing only the firmware of the microcontroller. The design is prototyped in 109 × 107 × 20 mm printed circuit board (PCB). Tests with animal tissues have been conducted to demonstrate the performance advantages of the data logger. A demonstration of wireless heart pulse monitoring and data logging is also presented.     

逆凝聚包覆法制备硫黄调节型粉末氯丁橡胶 Ⅰ.粒径分布

采用逆凝聚包覆法制备硫黄调节型粉末氯丁橡胶(PCR)并考察加料方式、搅拌转速和胶乳加人流速对产物粒径分布的影响。建立氯丁胶乳的逆凝聚粉末化模型并采用均匀试验设计的方法对该模型进行了验证。验证结果表明，该模型可以有效地模拟PCR的逆凝聚包覆氯丁胶乳的粉末化过程。PCR产物中粒径1～3mm的中等粒子的质量分数仅与搅拌转速有关，表明湍流爆裂是产生中等粒子的主要原因，而带状拉伸则是产生较粗颗粒和细小粒子的主要原因。扫描电子显微镜观察发现，采用逆凝聚包覆法制备的PCR粒子为单颗连续粒子，即产物粒子由单颗胶乳液滴凝聚而成。     

Study of Tire Particle Mixing in a Moving and Stirred Bed Vacuum Pyrolysis Reactor

The paper studies the motion of scrap tire shreds in a moving and stirred bed vacuum pyrolysis reactor. The reactor configuration is a novel concept. The pattern and the residence time distribution (RTD) of the particle motion in the reactor were investigated using tracers, for different feed rates and blade speeds. It was shown that the particle motion in the reactor is plug flow nature with intermediate dispersion (σ² = 0.02—0.055). The mean residence time is in the range of 7—23 min, depending on the speed of the blades and the feed rate. The ratio of mean particle speed and the speed of blades v_m/v_b varied between 0.03 and 0.07.

Assessing the predictive capability of two‐phase models for the mechanical behavior of alumina/epoxy nanocomposites

A review of analytical modeling of particulate reinforcement is made as a prelude to the problem of microstructural inhomogeneity in nanocomposite materials. Noting the inevitability of dispersion nonuniformity, and variations in agglomerate morphology and filler‐matrix interaction, the need to question the application of such models to novel materials arises. Employing the mechanical properties of alumina/epoxy nanocomposites, with known dispersion characteristics, an evaluation of the predictive capability of various models for Young's modulus, strength, and failure strain is made. Comparison between models is accompanied by a discussion of the parameters used in the fitting of macroscopic behavior to microstructural features. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Non-derivative algorithm design for efficient routing over unreliable stochastic networks

We study the question of routing for minimum average drop rate over unreliable servers that are susceptible to random buffer failures, which arises in unreliable data or manufacturing networks. Interestingly, we first reveal that the traditional Join-the-Shortest-Queue (JSQ) or optimal Randomized Splitting (RS) strategies are consistently outperformed by the Constant Splitting Rule (CSR) where the incoming traffic is split with a constant fraction towards the available servers.This finding motivates us to obtain the optimal splitting fraction under CSR. However, the objective function to be minimized depends on the mean queue length of the servers, whose closed-form expression is not available and often intractable for general arrival and service processes. Thus, we use non-derivative methods to solve this optimization problem by approximately evaluating the objective value at each iteration. To that end, we explicitly characterize the approximation error by utilizing the regenerating nature of unreliable buffers. By adaptively controlling the precision of this approximation, we show that our proposed algorithm converges to an optimal splitting decision in the almost sure sense. Yet, previous works on non-derivative methods assume continuous differentiability of the objective function, which is not the case in our setup. We relax this strong assumption to the case when the objective function is locally Lipschitz continuous, which is another contribution of this paper.     

On solutions to fuzzy stochastic differential equations with local martingales

This paper deals with a class of fuzzy stochastic differential equations (FSDEs) driven by a continuous local martingale under the Lipschitzian condition. Such equations can be useful in modeling hybrid systems, where the phenomena are simultaneously subjected to two kinds of uncertainties: randomness and fuzziness. The solutions of the FSDEs are the fuzzy stochastic processes, and their uniqueness is considered to be in a strong sense. Thus, the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the FSDEs under the Lipschitzian condition is first proven. Moreover, some asymptotic properties of the solutions to the FSDEs are investigated. Finally, an illustrating example on the interest term model is provided.     

General triangular midpoint subdivision

In this paper, we introduce triangular subdivision operators which are composed of a refinement operator and several averaging operators, where the refinement operator splits each triangle uniformly into four congruent triangles and in each averaging operation, every vertex will be replaced by a convex combination of itself and its neighboring vertices. These operators form an infinite class of triangular subdivision schemes including Loop's algorithm with a restricted parameter range and the midpoint schemes for triangular meshes. We analyze the smoothness of the resulting subdivision surfaces at their regular and extraordinary points by generalizing an established technique for analyzing midpoint subdivision on quadrilateral meshes. General triangular midpoint subdivision surfaces are smooth at all regular points and they are also smooth at extraordinary points under certain conditions. We show some general triangular subdivision surfaces and compare them with Loop subdivision surfaces.
