A push mechanism for GPRS supporting private IP addresses

The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) provides a packet switched data service for mobile users. However, the existing GPRS specification does not provide the push mechanism and it is difficult to support GPRS services such as call termination (incoming call) for wireless voice over IP (VoIP). Based on the short message service, this paper proposes a push mechanism for GPRS supporting private IP addresses. Our approach does not need to modify the existing GPRS structure.

采用高斯波形近似的干涉型光纤光栅法布里-珀罗传感系统的可见度分析

两光纤布拉格光栅(FBG)的光谱失配会使其构成的光纤法布里-珀罗(FFP)传感系统的干涉条纹可见度降低,从而影响探测性能。基于弱反射率FBG反射谱的高斯波形近似,推导了光谱失配引起的可见度变化表示式。实验测量了干涉型FFP传感系统的可见度曲线,对理论分析进行了验证。研究表明,反射谱旁瓣对光谱失配引起的可见度变化有重要影响。从光谱匹配的角度,采用高斯切趾光栅的FFP传感系统优于普通均匀光栅的系统。     

外太空有源假目标的运动学特性

弹道导弹突防过程中释放的有源干扰装置能够产生在能量、波形和相位调制等方面与目标回波高度逼近的假目标,这些假目标会共享雷达信号处理器的相干处理增益,使得传统的信号处理鉴别方法失效,并在数据处理层形成大量虚假航迹。该文从理论上分析了外太空有源假目标的运动学特性,推导了其在典型坐标系下的运动方程,揭示了有源假目标在运动学特性上和实体目标间的根本差异。首先,建立了统一的数学描述模型,推导了假目标在雷达站直角坐标系、雷达站球坐标系和地心坐标系下的运动方程;其次,根据运动方程分析了假目标的轨道、速度和加速度特性;最后,研究了相关因素对假目标运动学特性的影响。该文的分析结果可以为基于运动学信息鉴别有源假目标的系列方法提供理论指导。

Bacteria-Responsive Multidrug Delivery Nanosystem for Combating Long-Term Biofilm-Associated Infections

Microbial biofilm formation on implantable devices causes chronic infections that cannot be treated with existing antimicrobials. Quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) have recently emerged as novel antimicrobials for the prevention of biofilm formation. But blocking QS alone is insufficient to inhibit biofilm-associated chronic infections. Herein, chitosan hollow nanospheres are capped by bacteria-responsive β-casein to form a synergistic antifouling nanosystem consisting of a QSI and bactericide. β-casein is degraded by protease in a bacteria-colonized microenvironment in situ thus, QSI and bactericide are released sequentially. The release of QSI sensitises bacteria effectively through reduction of surface hydrophobicity, eDNA content, and lipopolysaccharide production in biofilms, amplifying the chemotherapeutic action of the bactericide. Compared to the uncoated surface, the coated surface inhibits biofilm formation and removes preformed biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by 1.8 logs and 1.9 logs of biomass inhibition, respectively. The coated catheters are found to stay clean for 30 days under artificial urine flow, while the uncoated catheters are clogged by bacterial biofilms within 5 days. Finally, the long term antifouling activity in vivo is confirmed. Overall, the nanosystem is devoted to making urinary catheters resistant to bacterial biofilm formation for the long term.     

Composition,structure and electrical properties of DC reactive magnetron sputtered Al2O3 thin films

Thin films of alumina (Al₂O₃) were deposited over Si 〈1 0 0〉 substrates at room temperature at an oxygen gas pressure of 0.03 Pa and sputtering power of 60 W using DC reactive magnetron sputtering. The composition of the as-deposited film was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the O/Al atomic ratio was found to be 1.72. The films were then annealed in vacuum to 350, 550 and 750 °C and X-ray diffraction results revealed that both as-deposited and post deposition annealed films were amorphous. The surface morphology and topography of the films was studied using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, respectively. A progressive decrease in the root mean square (RMS) roughness of the films from 1.53 nm to 0.7 nm was observed with increase in the annealing temperature. Al–Al₂O₃–Al thin film capacitors were then fabricated on p-type Si 〈1 0 0〉 substrate to study the effect of temperature and frequency on the dielectric property of the films and the results are discussed.     

Highly conductive buried n+ layers in lnp:fe created by MeV energy Si,S, and Si/S implantation for application to microwave devices

To obtain highly conductive buried layers in InP:Fe, MeV energy Si, S, and Si/ Simplantations are performed at 200°C. The silicon and sulfer implants gave 85 and 100 percent activation, respectively, for a fluence of 8 × 10¹⁴ cm⁻². The Si/S co-implantation also gave almost 100 percent donor activation for a fluence of 8 × 10¹⁴ cm⁻² of each species. An improved silicon donor activation is observed in the Si/S co-implanted material compared to the material implanted with silicon alone. The peak carrier concentration achieved for the Si/S co-implant is 2 × 10¹⁹ cm³. The lattice damage on the surface side of the profile is effectively removed after rapid thermal annealing. Multiple-energy silicon and sulfur implantations are performed to obtain thick and buried n⁺ layers needed for microwave devices and also hyper-abrupt profiles needed for varactor diodes.     

Reliability optimization of communication networks using simulated annealing

Two concepts of communication network reliability are considered. The first one, the ‘s-t’ reliability, is relevant for communication between a source station and a terminal station as in the case of a two way telephone communication. The second one, the overall reliability, is a measure of simultaneous connectedness among all stations in the network. An algorthm is presented which selects the optimal set of links that maximizes the overall reliability of the network subject to a cost restriction, given the allowable node-link incidences, the link costs and the link reliabilities. The algorithm employs a variaton of the simulated annealing approach coupled with a hierarchical strategy to achieve the gobal optimum. For complex networks, the present algorithm is advantageous over the traditional heuristic procedures. The solutions of two representative example network optimization problems are presented to illustrate the present algorithm. The potential utilization of parallel computing strategies in the present algorithm is also identified.
