Efective Object Identification and Association by Varying Coverage Through RFID Power Control简

This paper presents an effective power scheduling strategy for energy efficient multiple objects identification and association. The proposed method can be utilized in many heterogeneous surveillance systems with visual sensors and RFID （radio-frequency identification） readers where energy efficiency as well as association rate are critical Multiple objects positions and trajectory estimates are used to decide the power level of RFID readers. Several key parameters including the time windows and the distance separations are defined in the method in order to minimize the effects of RFID coverage uncertainty. The power cost model is defined and incorporated into the method to minimize energy consumption and to maximize association performance. The proposed method computes the power cost using the range of the outermost position for possible single association and group associations at every sampling time. An RFID reader is activated with the proper coverage range when the power cost for the current time is lower than the power cost for the next time sample. The simplicity of the power cost model relieves the problematic combinatorial comparisons in multiple object cases. The performance comparison simulation with the minimum and maximum energy consumption shows that the proposed method achieves fast single associations with less energy consumption. Finally, the realistic comparison simulation with the fixed range RFID readers demonstrates that the proposed method outperforms the fixed ranges in terms of single association rate and energy consumption.     

Efficient Data Access for Location-Dependent Spatial Queries

When the mobile environment consists of light-weight devices, the loss of network connectivity and scarce resources, e.g., low battery power and limited memory, become primary issues of concern in order to efficiently support portable wireless devices. In this paper, we propose an index-based peer-to-peer data access method that uses a new Hierarchical Location-Based Sequential （HLBS） index. We then propose a novel distributed Nearest First Broadcast （NFB） algorithm. Both HLBS and NFB are specifically designed for mobile peer-to-peer service in wireless broadcast environments. The system has a lower response time, because the client only contacts a qualified service provider by accessing the HLBS and quickly retrieves the data to answer the query by using NFB. HLBS and NFB design the index for spatial objects according to the positions of individual clients and transfer the index in the order arranged so that the spatial query can be processed even after the user tunes the partial index. Hence, this design can support rapid and energy-efficient service. A performance evaluation is conducted to compare the proposed algorithms with algorithms based on R-tree and Hilbert-curve air indexes. The results show that the proposed data dissemination algorithm with the HLBS index is scalable and energy efficient in both range queries and nearest neighbor queries.

Preparation and characterization of syndiotactic polystyrene/ethylene‐propylene copolymer blends

The reactive compatibilization of syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS)/oxazoline‐styrene copolymer (RPS)/maleic anhydride grafted ethylene‐propylene copolymer (EPR‐MA) blends is investigated in this study. First, the miscibility of sPS/RPS blends is examined by thermal analysis. The cold crystallization peak (T_cc) moved toward higher temperature with increased PRS, and, concerning enthalpy relaxation behaviors, only a single enthalpy relation peak was found in all aged samples. These results indicate that the sPS/RPS blend is miscible along the various compositions and RPS can be used in the reactive compatibilization of sPS/RPS/EPR‐MA blends. The reactive compatibilized sPS/RPS/EPR‐MA blends showed finer morphology than sPS/EPR‐MA physical blends and higher storage modulus (G') and complex viscosity (η*) when RPS contents were increased. Moreover, the impact strength of sPS/RPS/EPR‐MA increased significantly compared to sPS/EPR‐MA blend, and SEM micrographs after impact testing show that the sPS/RPS/EPR‐MA blend has better adhesion between the sPS matrix and the dispersed EPR‐MA phase. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Surface properties for poly(perfluoroalkylethyl methacrylate)/poly(n-alkyl methacrylate)s mixtures

A poly(perfluoroalkylethyl methacrylate) and a series of poly(n-alkyl methacrylate)s such as poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(ethyl methacrylate), and poly(n-butyl methacrylate) were prepared and used to investigate the surface properties of polymer mixtures containing a fluorinated homopolymer and a nonfluorinated homopolymer and the effect of the side-chain length of poly(n-alkyl methacrylate) on the surface free energy for the polymer mixtures. Contact angles were measured for the surfaces of polymer mixtures by varying the concentration of poly(perfluoroalkylethyl methacrylate). From the contact angle data, it can be inferred that most of the poly(perfluoroalkylethyl methacrylate) added to poly(n-alkyl methacrylate)s is located in the outermost layer of polymer-mixture surface. Surface free energies for the outermost surfaces of polymer mixtures were calculated from the contact angle data using Owen and Wendt's equation. The decrease in the surface free energy for the polymer mixture with the poly(perfluoroalkylethyl methacrylate) addition is more pronounced as the side-chain length of poly(n-alkyl methacrylate) decreases. Due to the steric effect of the side chain of poly(n-alkyl methacrylate), the arrangement of the perfluoroalkylethyl group of poly(perfluoroalkylethyl methacrylate) to the air side is considerably hindered. The ESCA analysis of atomic compositions of the surface for the polymer mixture verified that poly(perfluoroalkylethyl methacrylate) is preferentially arranged and concentrates at the polymer mixture–air interface. The results of functional group compositions obtained by ESCA showed that the functional group composition of  CF₃ for the outermost layer has a more important effect on the surface free energy than that of  CF₂ and confirmed the hindrance of the arrangement of perfluoroalkylethyl group to the air side by the side chain of poly(n-alkyl methacrylate). © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Transferring information from one experiment to another

This paper presents a rational method (based on Bayes' Theorem) for transferring information on parameter values from one experiment to another, in situations where the mathematical models for the two experiments share some parameters in common. The uncertainty in the estimates of the parameters, which reflects the experimental error in the initial experiment, is properly transferred as well. The use of the method is demonstrated by applying it to a fairly complicated system, typical in chemical reaction engineering, in which the kinetic parameters in a model for the hydrogenolysis of butane reaction were estimated using data obtained from a bench-scale, integral packed-bed reactor. These parameter estimates were then transferred to a model for a fluidized bed reactor in which the same chemical reaction occurred. Using the fluidized bed data they were updated and two additional parameters in the fluidized bed model were also estimated. This procedure allows a more realistic estimate of the uncertainty in all parameter values in the model for the fluidized bed reactor.
