Friction and the development of hard alloy surface microstructures during wear

Investigations of wear in sliding friction of WC-Hadfield steel hard alloy against cast tool steel have been carried out in a broad range of velocities and pressure values. Structural and phase composition variations have been revealed. Friction-affected zone was found to be 450 μm in depth. Structural γ → α, γ → transformation regions are located within 100 μm of the surface. These transformations contributed to the total solid solution deformation hardening.

汽车用磁性材料和磁性器件

汽车前灯装置用的磁性材料为了减少汽车夜间行驶的交通事故,一个重要的办法就是提高驾驶员的眼睛的夜间辨认能力,这就要在汽车上安装高亮度前灯（High Intensity Dischrge Lamp,简写为HID灯）,这种灯较传统用的卤灯省电且更亮,这样驾驶员就能借助它容易发现路面障碍物.HID灯是水银灯、金属卤化物灯、高压钠灯的统称.其中金属卤化物灯用作汽车前灯有2个缺点：①从点灯至达到规定亮度需数分至数十分钟;②一旦灯灭,再点着也必需数分至数十分钟.为克服这两点缺点在其点灯电路中必须设置变换器和触发器.     

A model for generation of directed graphs of information by the directed graph of metainformation for a two-level model of information units with a complex structure

A model for generation of directed graphs of information by the directed graph of metainformation for a two-level connected directed graph model of information units is described. It can be used as a basis in computer tools for editing information with a complex structure with different levels of abstraction and invariance to technological spaces (subject domains) in a common conceptual framework for carriers of this information, making it unnecessary to organize specialized training for these carriers or to involve professional intermediaries.     

一种基于RGV、AGV的柔性输送系统

随着现代制造业的迅速发展,我国的物流行业也随之崛起,并且逐渐受到全社会的广泛关注。早期的人工物流、机械化物流方式,已经远远不能满足现在大规模生产流水线的需求。本文提出了一种基于RGV、AGV的柔性输送系统,其中环形RGV输送系统通过成对的码头和码头之间的流水线与AGV输送系统、非环形往复式RGV输送系统相接驳;AGV输送系统和非环形往复式RGV输送系统用于将物流货品从环形RGV输送系统送入或送出指定物流系统。该系统有效地克服传统单一RGV输送系统对使用场所的适应性差、轨道占用空间大等缺点,同时避免使用单一AGV输送系统带来的输送效率较低、设备及维护成本较高等问题。     

Strong Convergence Analysis of Batch Gradient-Based Learning Algorithm for Training Pi-Sigma Network Based on TSK Fuzzy Models

By combining of the benefits of high-order network and TSK (Tagaki-Sugeno-Kang) inference system, Pi-Sigma network is capable to dispose with the nonlinear problems much more effectively, which means it has a compacter construction, and quicker computational speed. The aim of this paper is to present a gradient-based learning method for Pi-Sigma network to train TSK fuzzy inference system. Moreover, some strong convergence results are established based on the weak convergence outcomes, which indicates that the sequence of weighted fuzzy parameters gets to a fixed point. Simulation results show the modified learning algorithm is effective to support the theoretical results.     

Quantum state transfer between an optomechanical cavity and a diamond nuclear spin ensemble

We explore an efficient scheme for transferring quantum state between an optomechanical cavity and nuclear spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, where quantum information can be efficiently stored (retrieved) into (from) the nuclear spin ensemble assisted by a mechanical resonator in a dispersive regime. Our scheme works for a broad range of cavity frequencies and might have potential applications in employing the nuclear spin ensemble as a memory in quantum information processing. The feasibility of our protocol is analyzed using currently available parameters.     

Practical chosen-ciphertext secure Hierarchical Identity-Based Broadcast Encryption

We focus on practical Hierarchical Identity-Based Broadcast Encryption (HIBBE) with semantic security against adaptively chosen-ciphertext attacks (CCA2) in the standard model. We achieve this goal in two steps. First, we propose a new HIBBE scheme that is secure against chosen-plaintext attacks (CPA). Compared with the existing HIBBE scheme that is built from composite-order bilinear groups, our construction is based on prime-order bilinear groups. The much better efficiency of group operations in prime-order bilinear groups makes our proposed HIBBE scheme more practical. Then, we convert it into a CCA2-secure scheme at the cost of a one-time signature. Instead of extending one user hierarchy in the Canetti–Halevi–Katz approach from CPA-secure (\(l+1\))-Hierarchical Identity-Based Encryption [(\(l+1\))-HIBE] to CCA2-secure \(l\)-HIBE, our construction merely adds one on-the-fly dummy user in the basic scheme. We formally prove the security of these two schemes in the standard model. Comprehensive theoretical analyses and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed HIBBE schemes achieve desirable performance.
