Accurate low complexity modeling of twisted pairs suitable for G.fast frequencies

As the higher and higher frequency bands of existing metallic cables in access networks are being continuously exploited by modern transmission technologies, such as the G.fast, the necessity of providing accurate and suitable modeling of their transmission characteristics is evident. Therefore, this paper is focused on modeling of a propagation constant of twisted pairs and metallic cables at high frequencies up to 250 MHz, and an innovative arsinh model is proposed and described. This new model is based on an idea of adopting inverse hyperbolic sine function for modeling of both secondary line coefficients, attenuation constant and phase constant, and its main motivation is to provide their accurate estimations for G.fast frequencies up to 250 MHz for various types of metallic cables while maintaining a low computational complexity. The proposed model was compared with numerous characteristics measured for various real metallic cables as well as with several existing models in order to illustrate its potential. The results, which are presented within this paper, clearly illustrate that the proposed arsinh model generally outperforms existing standard models based on the equal number of required parameters.

一种采用单双跳变的低功耗确定性BIST方案

为实现低功耗和高故障覆盖率,基于单跳变测试技术和2-bit扭环计数器,提出一种新型的单双跳变的确定性测试向量产生器.首先,与一般的确定性测试方案直接存储确定性种子不同,利用ROM存储控制信号并通过单双跳变生成确定性种子和确定性测试向量,这样控制信号的长度约为确定性种子的1/2,有利于降低功耗并节约存储空间.其次,2-bit减法计数器合理地过滤了冗余向量,大大缩短了测试时间并降低总体能耗.最后,为了适应不同的测试需求,还设计了相应的测试向量压缩算法和三种x指定算法.实验结果表明,平均功耗分别降低了42.36%、32.32%、38.94%,测试长度分别减少了77.6%、86.1%、84.3%,测试数据分别压缩了79.4%、65.2%、68.1%.     

Force control of twisted and coiled polymer actuators via active control of electrical heating and forced convective liquid cooling

For decades, numerous artificial muscles have been proposed in order to implement beneficial features of biological muscles into robotics. Unfortunately, traditional artificial muscles experienced difficulties in imitating properties of the biological muscles due to mechanical and control issues. Recently, twisted and coiled polymer actuators (TCP) have been shown to produce large mechanical power via thermal stimulations and strong linearity. In this paper, a high-performance TCP thermally cycled by electrical heating and forced convective liquid cooling is designed and associated control algorithms are presented. We elaborate the model of the TCP that is simple, yet provides insight into how the electrical heating and the forced convective liquid cooling contribute to the TCP actuation. The proposed model is verified by experimental studies. Based on the proposed model, we design a feedforward–feedback controller and switching laws, which actively control the TCP in both the heating and cooling cycles. Furthermore, we extend our control methodology to agonist–antagonist TCPs. From the experimental studies, the proposed method is shown to be effective in both single TCP and antagonistic TCPs.     

新型扭带在层流中强化传热性能的数值模拟研究

提出一种新型的正反两个方向交替扭转的扭带模型,并基于ANSYS FLUENT软件在层流状态下(Re=400～18 00)对换热管中插入新型扭带的换热特性、流体阻力特性和综合性能指标进行数值模拟研究。对y=3.0,4.5,6.0三种扭率下的无缺口正反扭转扭带与传统单一方向扭带进行对比研究,并对扭率y=3.0的无缺口正反扭转扭带和带有三角、半圆及方形缺口的正反扭转扭带进行了对比计算。研究结果表明:插入不同扭率的扭带,换热管的努赛尔数Nu、摩擦系数f与综合性能PEC值均随着扭率的减小而增大;相同扭率下无缺口的正反扭转扭带在强化换热效果和综合性能表现上要优于传统扭带;扭率为3.0时,无缺口的正反扭转扭带比带三种缺口的正反扭转扭带换热效果好,而缺口的存在可以大幅度地降低插入扭带产生的摩擦阻力,且缺口的面积越大,摩擦和换热效果降低越多。     

Eavesdropping the display image from conducted emission on network cable of a PC

The display image of a PC can be reconstructed by using the conducted emission on the PC＇s network cable. The relevant signals which be used to reconstruct the original image are coupling from the radiation of the switching of red, green, blue （RGB） signals in PC. These pertinent signals are partly contained in the frequency region higher than 30 MHz in the conducted emission. From these findings, the near-field coupling principle from PC to the network cable is analyzed firstly. And then, a multi-conductor transmission model for the RGB signals which transmit in the network cable is proposed. In addition, the maximum safe distance is estimated by using this model. In order to check the validity of the estimating distance, the eavesdropping experiment is carried out to reconstruct the original display image. The results demonstrate that the blurred display image can be retrieved at the place of 29.5 m.

Theoretical research on naturally curved and twisted beams under complicated loads

This paper presents an analytical method for the study of naturally curved and twisted beams under complicated loads, with special attention devoted to the solving process of governing equations which take into account the effects of torsion-related warping as well as transverse shear deformations. The solutions derived in this paper can be used for the analysis of the beams, including the calculation of various internal forces, stresses, strains and displacements. These governing equations, in special cases, can be readily solved and yield the solutions to the problem. A generalized warping coordinate for a curved coplanar beam subjected to the action of vertical distributed loads is given for verification.
