Let G = (V,E) be a graph which models a set of wireless devices (nodes V) that can communicate by means of multiple radio interfaces, according to proximity and common interfaces (edges E). The problem of switching on (activating) the minimum cost set of interfaces at the nodes in order to guarantee the coverage
of G was recently studied. A connection is covered (activated) when the endpoints of the corresponding edge share at least one
active interface. In general, every node holds a subset of all the possible k interfaces. Such networks are known as multi-interface networks. In this setting, we study two basic problems: Connectivity and Cheapest Path. The Connectivity problem corresponds to the well-known Minimum Spanning Tree problem in graph theory. In practice, we need
to cover a subgraph of G of minimum cost which contains a spanning tree of G. The problem turns out to be APX-hard in general and for many restricted graph classes, however it is possible to provide approximation algorithms: a 2-approximation
in general and a
(2-\frac1 k)(2-\frac{1}{ k})-approximation for the unit cost interface case, i.e. when the cost of activating an interface is unitary for any interface.
We also consider the problem in special graph classes, such as graphs of bounded degree, planar graphs, graphs of bounded
treewidth, complete graphs. The Cheapest Path problem corresponds to the well-known Shortest Path problem in graph theory.
In the multi-interface setting this problem is still polynomially solvable, and we point out a simple Dijsktra-based algorithm
with O(k|E|+k|V|log(k+|V|))O(k|E|+k|V|\log (k+|V|)) runtime in general and O(k(|E| + |V|)) runtime for the unit cost interface case. 相似文献

Creep behavior of eutectic Sn-Cu lead-free solder alloy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Tensile creep behavior of precipitation-strengthened, tin-based eutectic Sn-0.7Cu alloy was investigated at three temperatures
ranging from 303–393 K. The steady-state creep rates cover six orders of magnitude (10−3−10−8 s−1) under the stress range of σ/E=10−4−10−3. The initial microstructure reveals that the intermetallic compound Cu6Sn5 is finely dispersed in the matrix of β-Sn. By incorporating a threshold stress, σ
th, into the analysis, the creep data of eutectic Sn-Cu at all temperatures can be fitted by a single straight line with a slope
of 7 after normalizing the steady-state creep rate and the effective stress, indicating that the creep rates are controlled
by the dislocation-pipe diffusion in the tin matrix. So the steady-state creep rate,
, can be expressed as
exp
, where Qc is the activation energy for creep, G is the temperature-dependent shear modulus, b is the Burgers vector, R is the universal
gas constant, T is the temperature, σ is the applied stress, A is a material-dependent constant, and
, in which σ
OB is the Orowan bowing stress, and kR is the relaxation factor.

We present a systematic study on the admittance characterization of surface trap states in unpassivated and SiN
x
-passivated Al0.83In0.17N/AlN/GaN heterostructures. C–V and G/ω–V measurements were carried out in the frequency range of 1 kHz to 1 MHz, and an equivalent circuit model was used to analyze
the experimental data. A detailed analysis of the frequency-dependent capacitance and conductance data was performed, assuming
models in which traps are located at the metal–AlInN surface. The density (D
t) and time constant (τ
t) of the surface trap states have been determined as a function of energy separation from the conduction-band edge (E
c − E
t). The D
st and τ
st values of the surface trap states for the unpassivated samples were found to be Dst @ (4 - 13) ×1012 D_{\rm{st}} \cong (4 - 13) \times 10^{12} eV - 1 cm - 2 {\hbox{eV}}^{ - 1} {\hbox{cm}}^{ - 2} and τ
st ≈ 3 μs to 7 μs, respectively. For the passivated sample, D
st decreased to 1.5 ×1012 1.5 \times 10^{12} eV - 1 cm - 2 {\hbox{eV}}^{ - 1} {\hbox{cm}}^{ - 2} and τ
st to 1.8 μs to 2 μs. The density of surface trap states in Al0.83In0.17N/AlN/GaN heterostructures decreased by approximately one order of magnitude with SiN
x
passivation, indicating that the SiN
x
insulator layer between the metal contact and the surface of the Al0.83In0.17N layer can passivate surface states. 相似文献

ternary alloys. The results show that the bowing is sensitive to competition between the anions for trapping/losing electric
charges. The lack of this competition would result in complete absence of the bowing, as is the case for common-anion ternary
alloys. In the common-cation ternary alloys studied herein, the bowing is found to be proportional to the electronegativity
of the anions χ
anion (i.e., the 6-valency anions are more electronegative than the 5-valency ones, and consequently the former result in stronger
intercompetition and yield stronger bowing in the II–VI alloys) and also proportional to the relative mismatch in electronegativity
between the competing anions
(\Updeltacanion/canionave).({\Updelta}\chi^{\rm{anion}}/\chi^{\rm{anion}}_{\rm{ave}}). The excellent agreement between our theoretical results and recent photoluminescence data corroborates our claim. 相似文献

New circuit design techniques for implementing very high-valued resistors are presented, significantly improving power and
area efficiency of analog front-end signal processing in ultra-low power biomedical systems. Ranging in value from few hundreds
of
M\Upomega\hbox{M}\Upomega to few hundreds of
G\Upomega\hbox{G}\Upomega, the proposed floating resistors occupy a very small area, and produce accurately tunable characteristics. Using this approach,
a low-pass MOSFET-C filter with tunable cutoff frequency (f
C
= 20 Hz–184 kHz) has been implemented in a conventional 0.18 μm CMOS technology. Occupying 0.045 mm2/pole, the power consumption of this filter is 540 pW/Hz/pole with a measured IMFDR of 70 dB. 相似文献

In this report an alternative approach for optimization of the thermoelectric properties of half-Heusler compounds is presented.
The common approaches are partial substitution of elements by elements of nearby groups and substitution with homologs. In
this approach we substitute one element by one neighboring element with fewer valence electrons and by one with more electrons.
The amounts of the substitutions are chosen such that the amount of deficiency and excess electrons are compensated. In the
solid solution TiCox(Ni0.5Fe0.5)1-xSb\hbox{TiCo}_{x}(\hbox{Ni}_{0.5}\hbox{Fe}_{0.5})_{1-x}\hbox{Sb}, Co was substituted equally by Fe and Ni. The aim of the substitution was to improve the figure of merit by a reduction of
the thermal conductivity accompanied by an unchanged high Seebeck coefficient. The solid solution TiCox(Ni0.5Fe0.5)1-xSb\hbox{TiCo}_{x}(\hbox{Ni}_{0.5}\hbox{Fe}_{0.5})_{1-x}\hbox{Sb} was synthesized by arc-melting. The structure of the as-cast samples was analyzed by x-ray diffraction. Rietveld refinements
yielded the C1bC1_b structure type with a small amount of antisite disorder between Co and Sb. The thermoelectric properties of the solid solution
were investigated in the temperature range from 2 K to 400 K. A Seebeck coefficient of -260 mV K-1-260\,\mu\hbox{V\,K}^{-1} at 400 K and a reduction of the thermal conductivity to 3 Wm-1 K-13\,\hbox{Wm}^{-1}\,\hbox{K}^{-1} were measured. The figure of merit was enhanced by a factor of about seven to a value of 0.04 at 400 K for TiCo0.8(Ni0.1Fe0.1)Sb\hbox{TiCo}_{0.8}(\hbox{Ni}_{0.1}\hbox{Fe}_{0.1})\hbox{Sb}. 相似文献

In a (t, n)-threshold multi-secret sharing scheme, several secrets are shared among n participants in such a way that any t (or more) of them can reconstruct the secrets while a group of (t − 1) can not obtain any information. Therefore, when such schemes are used to distribute sensitive information over a network,
fault tolerance property is achieved since even if n − t of the nodes go out of function, the remaining t nodes suffice to recover the information. In 2009, Wang et al. proposed a verifiable (t, n)-threshold multi-secret sharing scheme (WTS) based on elliptic curves in which the secrets can change periodically [Wireless
Pers. Commun., Springer-Verlage, doi:. In this paper, we propose a verifiable (t, n)-threshold multi-secret sharing scheme based on bilinear maps. Our scheme does not require a secure channel and participants
can verify the shares pooled in the reconstruction phase. Our proposed scheme is multi-use such that in order to change the
secrets, it is sufficient to renew some public information. Furthermore, the proposed scheme is flexible to the threshold
value. Therefore, our proposed scheme has all the merits of (WTS), however, we achieve two major improvements. First when
the secrets are to be changed, we require to publish fewer public values. This reduction can be very important in certain
applications such as steganographic use of secret sharing schemes. The second is that (WTS) is designed with the assumption
that the number of secrets (m) is equal to the threshold t so that the case m > t is handled by repeating the scheme
é \fracmt
ù{\left\lceil \frac{m}{t}\right\rceil} times. However, in designing the scheme we do not assume any restrictions on the number of secrets. 相似文献

In this paper, the integer N = p^kq is called a 〈k, 1〉-integer, if p and q are odd primes with almost the same size and k is a positive integer. Such integers were previously proposed for various cryptographic applications. The conditional factorization based on lattice theory for n-bit 〈k, 1〉-integers is considered, and there is an algorithm in time polynomial in n to factor these integers if the least significant |(2k - 1)n/(3k-1)(k+1)| bits of p are given. 相似文献

The fracture behavior of microscale lead-free Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder joints of different sizes was investigated under quasistatic
microtension loading. The experimental results show that the ultimate tensile strength of a joint does not always increase
with decreasing thickness-to-diameter ratio (d/t), which is commonly regarded as the dominant factor for mechanical constraint in the joint. A clear joint volume effect on
the strength has been found, i.e., the joint’s strength increases with decreasing joint volume
( V = \fracp4d2 t ), \left( {V = {\frac{\pi }{4}}d^{2} t} \right), and the correlation follows an inverse proportional function reasonably well. 相似文献

A power assignment is an assignment of transmission power to each of the nodes of a wireless network, so that the induced communication graph
has some desired properties. The cost of a power assignment is the sum of the powers. The energy of a transmission path from node u to node v is the sum of the squares of the distances between adjacent nodes along the path. For a constant t > 1, an energy
t-spanner is a graph G′, such that for any two nodes u and v, there exists a path from u to v in G′, whose energy is at most t times the energy of a minimum-energy path from u to v in the complete Euclidean graph. In this paper, we study the problem of finding a power assignment, such that (1) its induced
communication graph is a ‘good’ energy spanner, and (2) its cost is ‘low’. We show that for any constant t > 1, one can find a power assignment, such that its induced communication graph is an energy t-spanner, and its cost is bounded by some constant times the cost of an optimal power assignment (where the sole requirement
is strong connectivity of the induced communication graph). This is a significant improvement over the previous result due
to Shpungin and Segal in Proceedings of 28th IEEE INFOCOM, pp 163–171, (2009). 相似文献

The complex permittivity of lossy materials is measured at 330 GHz by matched THz power meter. Such a power meter operates
near the Brewster’s angle of its absorbing film resulting in an own reflection coefficient close to zero. It permits to reduce
an uncertainty associated with parasitic reflections created by conventional power meters. The measured power transmission
coefficient of the dielectric slab as a function of the incident angle is used for estimating the dielectric constant. Its
evaluation is based on the root-finding procedure applied to the proper formulated system of two non-linear equations. Convergence
and sensitivity of this system in the space of
{ e¢\textr,e"\textr } \left\{ {{{\varepsilon '}_{\text{r}}},{{\varepsilon '}_{\text{r}}}} \right\} are investigated in order to formulate recommendations how guess values providing the unique solution must be chosen. The
results are useful for estimating sheilding effects caused by dielectric losses in the sub-mm range with application to detecting
hidden objects as well as other homeland security purposes. 相似文献

The high-figure-of-merit thermoelectric material AgPb18SbTe20 has been investigated by in situ angular-dispersive x-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) measurements up to 30 GPa. Resistivity
and thermopower were measured with Bridgman-type opposed metal anvil cells. The results show that the ambient cubic ( Fm[`3] m ) \left( {Fm\overline{3} m} \right) structure transforms to orthorhombic (Pnma) at 6.4 GPa and then to the CsCl-type ( Pm[`3] m ) \left( {Pm\overline{3} m} \right) structure at 15 GPa. The ambient cubic ( Fm[`3] m ) \left( {Fm\overline{3} m} \right) phase is found to be recoverable on releasing the pressure. The thermoelectric power is found to increase with pressure for
the cubic phase. The XAFS studies performed at the Pb L
3-edge and Ag K-edge along with resistivity studies complement the XRD findings. 相似文献

Localized Construction of Bounded Degree and Planar Spanner for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We propose a novel localized algorithm that constructs a bounded degree and planar spanner for wireless ad hoc networks modeled
by unit disk graph (UDG). Every node only has to know its 2-hop neighbors to find the edges in this new structure. Our method
applies the Yao structure on the local Delaunay graph [1] in an ordering that are computed locally. This new structure has
the following attractive properties: (1) it is a planar graph; (2) its node degree is bounded from above by a positive constant
; (3) it is a t-spanner (given any two nodes u and v, there is a path connecting them in the structure such that its length is no more than
· Cdel times of the shortest path in the unit disk graph); (4) it can be constructed locally and is easy to maintain when the nodes
move around; (5) moreover, we show that the total communication cost is O(n log n) bits, where n is the number of wireless nodes, and the computation cost of each node is at most O(d log d), where d is its 2-hop neighbors in the original unit disk graph. Here Cdel is the spanning ratio of the Delaunay triangulation, which is at most
. And the adjustable parameter α satisfies 0 < α ≤ π/3.

Data collection is one of the most important functions provided by wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we study theoretical
limitations of data collection and data aggregation in terms of delay and capacity for a wireless sensor network where n sensors are randomly deployed. We consider different communication scenarios such as with single sink or multiple sinks,
regularly-deployed or randomly-deployed sinks, with or without aggregation. For each scenario, we not only propose a data
collection/aggregation method and analyze its performance in terms of delay and capacity, but also theoretically prove whether
our method can achieve the optimal order (i.e., its performance is within a constant factor of the optimal). Particularly,
with a single sink, the capacity of data collection is in order of
\Uptheta(W)\Uptheta(W) where W is the fixed data-rate on individual links. With k regularly deployed sinks, the capacity of data collection is increased to
\Uptheta(kW)\Uptheta(kW) when
k=O(\fracnlogn)k=O\left({\frac{n}{\log n}}\right) or
\Uptheta(\fracnlognW)\Uptheta\left({\frac{n}{\log n}}W\right) when
k=\Upomega(\fracnlogn)k=\Upomega\left({\frac{n}{\log n}}\right). With k randomly deployed sinks, the capacity of data collection is between
\Uptheta(\fracklogkW)\Uptheta\left({\frac{k}{\log k}}W\right) and
\Uptheta(kW)\Uptheta(kW) when
k=O(\fracnlogn)k=O\left({\frac{n}{\log n}}\right) or
\Uptheta(\fracnlognW)\Uptheta\left({\frac{n}{\log n}}W\right) when
k=w(\fracnlogn)k=\omega\left({\frac{n}{\log n}}\right). If each sensor can aggregate its receiving packets into a single packet to send, the capacity of data collection with a
single sink is also increased to
\Uptheta(\fracnlognW)\Uptheta\left({\frac{n}{\log n}}W\right). 相似文献

A Ka-band gyrotron traveling wave (gyro-TWT) amplifier with high power and wide bandwidth operated in the fundamental TE11
circular mode is presented in detail. The stability of the gyro-TWT amplifier using linear and nonlinear theory is analyzed.
The distributed loss technique is employed in the interaction circuit which guarantees the amplifier zero-drive stability.
The effects of the parameters such as input power, driver frequency, magnetic field on the performance of the gyro-TWT is
discussed. The simulation results show that the gain and the bandwidth of the designed Ka-band gyro-TWT are about 60.0 dB
and 1.4 GHz at constant drive with an axial velocity spread
