Ultra-High bit rate all-optical AND/OR logic gates based on photonic crystal with multi-wavelength simultaneous operation

In this paper, a novel two-dimensional photonic crystal based all-optical AND/OR logic gates are designed, simulated and optimized. The structure is built on a linear square lattice photonic crystal platform. A multi-wavelength operation, together with a simultaneous operation, is achieved at ultra-high bit rates. The concurrent operation is attained without altering the proposed design continuously, as stated in the literature. It provides simplicity because there is no auxiliary input required along with the absence of externally attached phase shift units. The enhancement process has been done to the rod radius. A magnificent representation tool is developed. The benefit of the mentioned tool lies in the data combination of different operating wavelengths, contrast ratio, and bit rate; which will establish an efficient optimization process. Each gate is enhanced independently, then an overall improvement has been done. As a result, the operation at 1.52?µm will provide a successful multi logic gate operation with ultra-high bit rates of 6.76 and 4.74 Tbit/s for AND and OR logic gates, respectively. The design has an acceptable size of (19.8?×?12.6 µm) and a contrast ratio of 9.74?dB and 17.95?dB for the designed AND and OR gate, respectively. The design is highly sensitive to the waveguide length to verify the gates on demand.     

Multi‐Responsive and Logic Controlled Release of DNA‐Gated Mesoporous Silica Vehicles Functionalized with Intercalators for Multiple Delivery

Novel DNA‐gated mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) vehicles functionalized with disulfide‐linked acridinamine intercalators are constructed for multi‐responsive controlled release. The DNA‐gated MSN vehicles release cargo encapsulated in the MSN pores under different stimuli, including disulfide reducing agents, elevated temperature, and deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I), for codelivery of drugs and DNA/genes in different forms. Furthermore, the cascade release of encapsulated and intercalative drugs is controlled by AND logic gates in combination of dual stimuli. The ingeniously designed DNA‐gated MSN vehicles integrates multiple responses and AND logic gate operations into a single smart nanodevice not only for codelivery of drugs and DNA/genes but also for cascade release of two drugs and has promising biological applications to meet diverse requirements of controlled release.     

Construction of a Fuzzy and Boolean Logic Gates Based on DNA

Logic gates are devices that can perform logical operations by transforming a set of inputs into a predictable single detectable output. The hybridization properties, structure, and function of nucleic acids can be used to make DNA‐based logic gates. These devices are important modules in molecular computing and biosensing. The ideal logic gate system should provide a wide selection of logical operations, and be integrable in multiple copies into more complex structures. Here we show the successful construction of a small DNA‐based logic gate complex that produces fluorescent outputs corresponding to the operation of the six Boolean logic gates AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, and XNOR. The logic gate complex is shown to work also when implemented in a three‐dimensional DNA origami box structure, where it controlled the position of the lid in a closed or open position. Implementation of multiple microRNA sensitive DNA locks on one DNA origami box structure enabled fuzzy logical operation that allows biosensing of complex molecular signals. Integrating logic gates with DNA origami systems opens a vast avenue to applications in the fields of nanomedicine for diagnostics and therapeutics.     

Adaptive image denoising for speckle noise images based on fuzzy logic

Speckle noise is a kind of ubiquitous noise in medical image, which will damage the texture structure of image and affect the analysis of image structure by doctors. Therefore, we propose an image denoising model based on fuzzy logic, which can eliminate speckle noise in the image well, improve the recognition of the image, and facilitate the acquisition of image information by doctors. The main work arrangement of the algorithm model is to design a membership function that can traverse the noise image and preprocess the noise image to make the image smooth. Then, a mask template of 5 × 5 is designed by the definition of g-l calculus, and there is mainly an unknown parameter in this template. We design the functional relation between this parameter and the image gradient, which makes the model algorithm adaptive. Finally, the convolution operation is performed between the template and the smooth image. By comparison with the existing mainstream models, the overall denoising effect of this model is better than other models, and the relevant numerical indexes are better than other models. This model is an extension of the denoising model of fuzzy theory, which is beneficial to the future research and development.     

基于线性时序逻辑的移动端快递派送路径规划

研究了快递派送的路径规划。针对目前快递派送任务点较多,快递员不熟悉派送区域的问题,提出了一种基于线性时序逻辑(LTL)的移动端多点快递派送路径规划方法。该方法利用移动端的百度地图应用包实现快递员的定位与导航任务,提出两层(顶层、底层)规划策略。顶层规划避开百度地图实际道路环境繁琐又庞大的建模,将快递派送问题转化为旅行推销员问题(TSP),仅将快递员派送任务地点建模为一个有限状态的加权切换系统,状态之间的切换权重基于百度地图的自驾导航距离,而非简单的直线距离,以达到底层规划结果符合实际环境,确保最后搜索的路径最优性,同时利用线性时序逻辑语言描述多点快递派送任务,从而将切换系统信息与派送任务信息相融合,构建一个任务可行网络拓扑,并在该网络拓扑上基于Dijkstra算法搜索出快递员离散的最优路径。底层规划完成离散路径的连续化,离散路径的任意相邻任务点间的路径规划基于百度地图实现,从而实现顶层规划的离散路径连续化,获得快递员可派单的实际派送路线。实验结果表明该方法能够解决多点派送任务与派送区域受约束的问题,并保证快递员派单路径的最优性。     

A model for computerized procedures based on flowcharts and success logic trees

A model for plant operating procedure based on flowchart and success logic tree has been developed. The tasks in procedures are classified into orthogonal actions and checks, which play the role of building units of the flowchart as well as an execution unit of procedures. Arrows relate actions and checks to indicate proper workflow. An action or a check is further decomposed into basic instructions considering function allocation between man and computer, characteristics of tasks, etc. N-out-of-M operator combines the instructions within a success logic tree. The flowchart and the tree are comprehensible, transparent, and dynamic. Computers support operators to execute the instructions. The effort to make the tree in allowable states is the driving force for an action or check to be executed successfully. This model improves understandings of procedures, minimizes context switching, and maximizes the usage of computers. Finally a computer based procedure complying with the model was implemented and evaluated with procedures after reactor trip.     

Simple,fast, label-free,and nanoquencher-free system for operating multivalued DNA logic gates using polythymine templated CuNPs as signal reporters

Boolean logic devices play a key role in both traditional and nontraditional molecular logic circuits.This kind of binary logic,in which each bit is coded by (0,1),has only two output states—on or off (or high/low).Because of the finite computing capacity and variation,it is facing challenges from multivalued logic gates while processing high-density or uncertain/imprecise information.However,a low-cost,simple,and universal system that can perform different multivalued logic computations has not yet been developed,and remains a concept for further study.Herein,taking the ternary OR and INHIBIT logic gates as model devices,we present the fabrication of a novel simple,fast,label-free,and nanoquencher-free system for multivalued DNA logic gates using poly-thymine (T) templated copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) as signal reporters.The mixture of Cu2+ and ascorbic acid (AA) is taken as a universal platform for all ternary logic gates.Different kinds of poly-T strands and delicately designed complementary poly-adenine (A) strands are alternatively applied as ternary inputs to exhibit the ternary output states (low/0,medium/1,high/2).Notably,there are no nanoquenchers in this platform as poly-A strands can function as not only inputs but also efficient inhibitors of poly-T templated CuNPs.Moreover,all DNA are unlabeled single-strand DNA that do not need sophisticated labeling procedures or sequence design.The above design greatly reduces the operating time,costs,and complexity.More importantly,the ternary logic computations can be completed within 20 min because of the fast formation of CuNPs,and all of them share the same threshold values.

Theoretical investigation of phase-based all-optical NOT,XOR and XNOR logic gates based on AlGaAs microring resonators

We propose and numerically verify a phase-based all-optical logic gate (NOT, XOR and XNOR) operation scheme based on cascaded AlGaAs microring resonators. Phase control in this scheme depends on cross-phase modulation in the AlGaAs microring. The realization of NOT logic depends on the π phase shift of light transmission, and this π phase shift can be naturally obtained in microring resonators in the under-coupled state. Inputting a non-return zero intensity signal as pump light, the probe light (continuous wave) will experience a different phase shift and a phase-based logical function can be realized in this process. The bandwidth and the minimum power requirement of this scheme are also discussed in detail.     

Synthesis and characterization of molecular semiconductors based on aromatic diamines with various electron acceptors

The synthesis, spectral, electrical and magnetic properties of charge transfer materials of aromatic diamines namely benzidine (BEN) andρ-toluidine (O.TOL) with various acceptors such as iodine, 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ), tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), andp-chloranil (p-CA) have been reported. These materials excepto-toluidine-chloranil complex have been found to be typical molecular semiconductors on the basis of temperature dependence on their electrical conductivity. They have low electrical conductivities and two thermal activation energies indicating mixed conductivity mechanism in which both the electrons and holes are charge carriers, one dominating over the other at different temperatures. The observation of the metal like electrical conductivity i.e. the increase of electrical conductivity with decreasing temperature in theo-toluidine-chloranil system is unique for this class of molecular electronic materials.     

A neural network constitutive model for hyperelasticity based on molecular dynamics simulations

Numerical analysis of the hyperelastic behavior of polymer materials has drawn significant interest from within the field of mechanical engineering. Currently, hyperelastic models based on the energy density function, such as the Neo-Hookean, Mooney-Rivlin, and Ogden models, are used to investigate the hyperelastic responses of materials. Conventionally, constants relating to materials were determined from experimental data by using global least-squares fitting. However, formulating a constitutive equation to capture the complex behavior of hyperelastic materials was difficult owing to the limitations of the analytical model and experimental data. This study addresses these limitations by using a system of neural networks (NNs) to design a data-driven surrogate model without a specific function formula, and employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to calculate the massive amount of combined loading data of hyperelastic materials. Thus, MD simulations were used to propose an NN constitutive model for hyperelasticity to derive the constitutive equation to model the complex hyperelastic response. In addition, the probability distributions of the numerical solutions of hyperelasticity are used to characterize the uncertainty of the MD models. These statistical finite element results not only present numerical results with reliability ranges but also scattered distributions of the solution obtained from the MD-based probability distributions.
