A flexible and recoverable client/server database event notification system

A software architecture is presented that allows client application programs to interact with a DBMS server in a flexible and powerful way, using either direct, volatile messages, or messages sent via recoverable queues. Normal requests from clients to the server and replies from the server to clients can be transmitted using direct or recoverable messages. In addition, an application event notification mechanism is provided, whereby client applications running anywhere on the network can register for events, and when those events are raised, the clients are notified. A novel parameter passing mechanism allows a set of tuples to be included in an event notification. The event mechanism is particularly useful in an active DBMS, where events can be raised by triggers to signal running application programs. Received July 21, 1995 / Accepted May 30, 1996     

A novel integrated silicon capacitive microphone-floating electrode“electret” microphone (FEEM)

A novel principle “electret” microphone, i.e., floating electrode electret microphone, is proposed and implemented in this study. Single-chip fabrication and corrugation technique are used in the design and fabrication of the microphone. The floating electrode is encapsulated by highly insulated materials to ensure that there is no electric-leakage passage between the floating electrode and the electrodes of the microphone. Net-free electronic charges (not “bonded” charges as in traditional electret) in the floating electrode can excite the electric field, which is similar to that of the traditional electret. The floating electrode can be easily charged by use of the “hot” electron technique, available using the avalanche breakdown of the p⁺-n junction. Therefore, the electret microphone is rechargeable, which can greatly increase the lifetime of the device. The preamplifier has been on-chip integrated in a junction-field-effect transistor (JFET) source-follower type with resistors by use of ion implantation. Electret charges are banded in a deep potential trap, thus, this microphone can operate at a high temperature (as high as 300°C) and has high stability and reliability. Experiments show that the prototype has a 3-mV/Pa sensitivity and a larger than 21-kHz frequency bandwidth in a 1 mm ×1-mm diaphragm area. Microphone performance can be further improved by optimized process and design. The fabrication is completely integrated-circuit (IC) compatible, hence, the microphone shows promise in integrated acoustic systems

The super-connected property of recursive circulant graphs

In a graph G, a k-container C_k(u,v) is a set of k disjoint paths joining u and v. A k-container C_k(u,v) is k∗-container if every vertex of G is passed by some path in C_k(u,v). A graph G is k∗-connected if there exists a k∗-container between any two vertices. An m-regular graph G is super-connected if G is k∗-connected for any k with 1?k?m. In this paper, we prove that the recursive circulant graphs G(2^m,4), proposed by Park and Chwa [Theoret. Comput. Sci. 244 (2000) 35-62], are super-connected if and only if m≠2.

随机振动离散分析方法的实用化处理

通过作者前文[2]的讨论,我们得到了随机振动离散分析方法的一个具有无条件稳定性和高精确度的递推公式—β递推格式。但由于在这个递推格式中存在一个增广矩阵求逆的问题,这就给它在实际应用中带来了一定的困难。本文通过等效变换,成功地克服了这一困难,避免了这个增广矩阵求逆,并完全应用了原动力体系质量阵、阻尼阵和刚度阵的对称、带状等特点,大大减少了计算所需的内存和工作量,从而使该方法很实用。

A general stochastic clustering method for automatic cluster discovery

Finding clusters in data is a challenging problem. Given a dataset, we usually do not know the number of natural clusters hidden in the dataset. The problem is exacerbated when there is little or no additional information except the data itself. This paper proposes a general stochastic clustering method that is a simplification of nature-inspired ant-based clustering approach. It begins with a basic solution and then performs stochastic search to incrementally improve the solution until the underlying clusters emerge, resulting in automatic cluster discovery in datasets. This method differs from several recent methods in that it does not require users to input the number of clusters and it makes no explicit assumption about the underlying distribution of a dataset. Our experimental results show that the proposed method performs better than several existing methods in terms of clustering accuracy and efficiency in majority of the datasets used in this study. Our theoretical analysis shows that the proposed method has linear time and space complexities, and our empirical study shows that it can accurately and efficiently discover clusters in large datasets in which many existing methods fail to run.     

Ultralow feeding gas flow guiding growth of large-scale horizontally aligned single-walled carbon nanotube arrays

On the basis of the rational analysis about the fluidic property of the system, an ultralow gas flow chemical vapor deposition (CVD) strategy was designed to prepare large-scale horizontally aligned ultralong single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) arrays. SWNT arrays could be well obtained under extremely low feeding flow of 1.5 sccm in a 1 in. quartz tube reactor. It was confirmed that the tubes grew floatingly and could cross microtrenches or climb over micro-obstacles in ultraslow gas flow. SWNTs arrays also could be formed no matter the substrate was placed vertically or upside down. The growth mechanism was discussed. Both the buoyancy effect induced by gas temperature/density difference and gas flow stability played dominant roles. More attractively, simultaneous batch-scale preparation of SWNT arrays was realized by the ultralow gas flow strategy. This new strategy turns to be more abstemious, efficient, promising, and flexible compared with the high gas flow rate fast-heating CVD processes.
