Smart work packaging-enabled constraint-free path re-planning for tower crane in prefabricated products assembly process

Lack of constraint-free crane path planning is one of the critical concerns in the dynamic on-site assembly process of prefabrication housing production (PHP). For decades, researchers and practitioners have endeavored to improve both the efficiency and safety of crane path planning from either static environment or re-planning the path when colliding with constraints or periodically updating the path in the dynamic environment. However, there is a lack of approach related to the in-depth exploration of the nature of dynamic constraints so as to assist the crane operators in making adaptive path re-planning decisions by categorizing and prioritizing constraints. To address this issue, this study develops the smart work packaging (SWP)-enabled constraints optimization service. This service embraces the core characteristics of SWP, including adaptivity, sociability, and autonomy to achieve autonomous initial path planning, networked constraints classification, and adaptive decisions on path re-planning. This service is simulated and verified in the BIM environment, and it is found that SWP-enabled constraints optimization service can generate the constraint-free path when it is necessary.

基于人工神经网络的柴油机失火故障诊断

车载诊断系统在诊断失火故障时,采用基于曲轴段角加速度和阈值规则相结合的方法,该方法在内燃机高速轻载运行时诊断单缸完全失火工况存在一定的局限性。通过对比分析失火和正常工况下曲轴瞬时转速的幅频和相频特征,提取不同谐次的幅值和相位信息,结合人工神经网络作为故障模式识别工具,得到了一种改善方法。通过台架实验,对此改善方法进行了单缸完全失火、两缸完全失火和单缸一定程度失火的故障诊断测试。结果表明,在实验条件下该方法可以有效识别不同的失火模式,并可在单缸失火模式下实现失火程度判别。同时,该方法通过少量工况数据训练神经网络,即可实现一定转速范围内的失火诊断,可行性强,可用于发动机失火故障在线诊断。

Passive target detection and tracking from electromagnetic field measurements

This paper presents a novel approach to the localization of moving targets in a complex environment based on the measurement of the perturbations induced by the target presence on an independently‐generated time‐varying electromagnetic field. Field perturbations are measured via a set of sensors deployed over the domain of interest and used to detect and track a possible target by resorting to a particle Bernoulli filter (PBF). To comply with real‐time operation, the PBF works along with an artificial neural network (ANN) model of the environment trained offline via finite elements (FEs). The performance of the proposed algorithm is assessed via simulation experiments.     

基于改进CGANs的入侵检测方法研究

近年来,机器学习算法在入侵检测系统(IDS)中的应用获得越来越多的关注。然而,传统的机器学习算法更多的依赖于已知样本,因此需要尽可能多的数据样本来对模型进行训练。遗憾地是,随着越来越多未知攻击的出现,且用于训练的攻击样本具有不平衡性,传统的机器学习模型会遇到瓶颈。文章提出一种将改进后的条件生成对抗网络(CGANs)与深度神经网络(DNN)相结合的入侵检测模型(CGANs-DNN),通过解决样本不平衡性问题来提高检测模型对未知攻击类型或只有少数攻击样本类型的检测率。深度神经网络(DNN)具有表征数据潜在特征的能力,而经过改进后的条件CGANs,能够通过学习已知攻击样本潜在数据特征分布,来根据指定类型生成新的攻击样本。此外,与生成对抗网络(GANs)和变分自编码器(VAE)等无监督生成模型相比,CGANsDNN经过改进后加入梯度惩罚项,在训练的稳定性上有了很大地提升。通过NSL-KDD数据集对模型进行评估,与传统算法相比CGANs-DNN不仅在整体准确率、召回率和误报率等方面有更好的性能,而且对未知攻击和只有少数样本的攻击类型具有较高的检测率。     

A benchmark data set for two-phase Coriolis metering

For more than a decade there has been growing interest in the use of Coriolis mass flow metering applied to two-phase (gas/liquid) and multiphase (oil/water/gas) conditions. It is well-established that the mass flow and density measurements generated from multiphase flows are subject to large errors, and a variety of physical models and correction techniques have been proposed to explain and/or to compensate for these errors. One difficulty is the absence of a common basis for comparing correction techniques, because different flowtube designs and configurations, as well as liquid and gas properties, may result in quite different error curves. Furthermore, some researchers with interests in the modelling aspects of the field may not have suitable multiphase laboratory facilities to generate their own data sets. This paper offers a small data set that may be used by researchers as a benchmark i.e. a common data set for comparing correction techniques. The data set was collected at the UK National Flow Laboratory TUV-NEL, using air and a viscous oil, and provides experimental points over a wide flow range (8:1 turndown) and with Gas Volume Fraction (GVF) values up to 60%. As a first investigation using the benchmark data set, we consider how data sparsity (i.e. the flow rate and GVF spacing in the experimental grid) affects the accuracy of a correction model. A range of neural network models are evaluated, based on different subsets of the benchmark data set. The data set and some exemplary code are provided with the paper. Additional data sets are available on a web site created to support this initiative.

Teaching construction sciences with the integration of BIM to undergraduate architecture students

This study aims to test two hypotheses: teaching building information modeling (BIM) in relation to construction science provides students with a remarkable understanding of the nature of construction science (Hypothesis 1), and if the student has positive attitude toward the use of the BIM program, then efficiency by which construction science is taught by its means is improved (Hypothesis 2). Results and process of a case study with a novel teaching methodology were discussed in terms of the benefits of the students. A questionnaire study was conducted on the student group with which the case study was performed to test each student's attitude. Results were evaluated statistically. When BIM is integrated with the teaching of basic construction courses within architecture degree programs, the students understood the building system principles simply and effectively. As a result of the statistical analysis, the students find the applied method effective. Moreover, their attitude toward BIM affects the process.     

Self-activated persistent luminescence from Ba2Zr2Si3O12 for information storage

Till now, many doped persistent luminescence (PersL) phosphors have been investigated and found various applications in such as bioimaging, photocatalysis and information storage, but introducing PersL emitters into a proper host is mostly complex. In this research, a self-activated PersL phosphor Ba₂Zr₂Si₃O₁₂ (BZSO) is prepared by solid state reaction. By adding NH₄Cl, the self-activated PersL intensity is evidently enhanced. The trap depths and concentrations are examined by thermoluminescence spectra. Meanwhile, Bi³⁺ ions are introduced into BZSO and show wide band photoluminescence (PL) from 300 to 600 nm. Moreover, the PL of Bi³⁺ is tunable under excitation by 265-350 nm lights. Furthermore, as a proof-of-concept design, we designed a patterned quick response (QR) code based on the self-activated PersL of BZSO, and the information of “South China University of Technology (SCUT)” can be read out by the code scanning technology. Bi³⁺-doped BZSO phosphors are suggested to provide potential applications in information storage by its self-activated PersL, and to excite researchers to study the tunable PL in Bi³⁺-doped phosphor.
