Reduced‐order method for mathematical modeling of multiphase dc‐dc converter

A multiphase dc‐dc converter is effective for miniaturization and achieving high‐power density in a switching power supply. However, its mathematical modeling becomes complex as the phase number of the circuit increases. This study proposes a new modeling method to derive a reduced‐order method in a simple manner. The frequency characteristics of the reduced‐order model are fit to those of the original mathematical model of the multiphase dc‐dc converter. Therefore, the efficacy of the proposed method is validated.     

Characterization of isotherms and thin-layer drying of red kidney beans,Part I: Choosing appropriate empirical and semitheoretical models

Desorption and adsorption isotherms and drying characteristics of red kidney beans were studied using static and dynamic methods, respectively. The desorption and adsorption isotherms were determined at 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, and 10°C with 32–91% relative humidity (RH). The constant RHs were generated using six saturated salt solutions at constant temperatures. The drying characteristics were determined using a thin-layer dryer with drying air at 50, 40, and 30°C with 35 and 50% RH. The dimensions of the kidney beans before and after drying were measured and shrinkage and sphericity of the beans were calculated. A new method to evaluate the best-fitted equation to characterize the thin-layer drying data was developed. The best-fitted equations to describe the desorption and adsorption isotherms were the modified Chung–Pfost and modified Guggenheim–Anderson–deBoer. The red kidney beans only experienced a falling rate drying period and had a largest shrinkage in the length direction during drying. The Henderson and Pabis model and the modified Page model were the best-fitted models to describe the thin-layer drying data. Using only the values of R² and mean squared error to evaluate the semitheoretical and empirical models might not be enough. The method developed in this study could help develop a semitheoretical or empirical model with a higher accuracy of drying constant, which could be used to estimate the effective water diffusivity.     

High-temperature pyrolysis of ceramic fibers derived from polycarbosilane–polymethylhydrosiloxane polymer blends with porous structures

The polymer blends of PCS (polycarbosilane) and PMHS-h (polymethylohydrosiloxane with high molecular weight) were prepared by freeze-drying process of mixed benzene solution. Melt viscosity, mass loss, and gas evolution from prepared polymer blends were analyzed. A polymer blend of HSah15 (15 mass% PMHS-h to PCS) was melt-spun to fiber form, curing by thermal oxidation and pyrolyzed at various temperatures up to 1773 K. The obtained fibers were investigated by tensile tests, FE-SEM (field emission scanning electron microscope) observation, and XRD (X-ray diffraction) analysis. After pyrolysis at 1273 K, there were no pores in the cross section of the fiber derived from pure PCS; however, there were amounts of pores in the cross sections of the fiber derived from HSah15. After pyrolysis at 1773 K, the coarse β-SiC (silicon carbide) crystals were formed on the outside surface of the fiber derived from pure PCS; however, no remarkable β-SiC crystal were formed on the outside surface of the fiber derived from HSah15.     

面向可重构扫描网络的锁定隔离安全结构

为使可重构扫描网络免受未经授权的访问、恶意仪器对传输数据的窜改和嗅探3种安全攻击的影响,提出了锁定隔离安全结构.该结构首先把彼此不具有安全威胁的仪器分成一组,通过控制隔离信号实现组与组之间的单独访问,以防止恶意仪器对传输数据的窜改和嗅探.然后通过使用锁段插入位保护关键的仪器,只有扫描网络中处于特定位置的多个键值被设置成特定值(0,1序列)时锁段插入位才能打开,能加大未经授权访问的难度.此外,为解决仪器分组多导致硬件开销大和布线困难的问题,提出了仪器分组算法,根据仪器间的安全关系构建无向图,然后对无向图求极大独立集,能有效地减少仪器分组数.在ITC 02基准电路上的实验结果表明,与国际上同类方法相比,所提的安全结构打开锁段插入位所需要的时间增大了7倍,在面积、功耗和布线上的平均减少百分比分别为3.81%,9.02%和4.55%.

A system for synchronizing the nods of a CG character and a human using thermal image processing and a moving-average model

The purpose of this study was to develop a system for communication between a human and a computer generated (CG) character to make him or her more peaceful and cheerful. Nonverbal communication using such things as facial expression, a nod, or a hand gesture is very important for reciprocal communication between humans. In this study, an image registered by infrared rays which describes the thermal distribution of the face and neck has been used to develop a system for communication between a human and a CG character. The CG character can synchronize its nod with a person’s nod by predicting his or her nod angle. The measured feature parameter is input to a fuzzy algorithm system to obtain the nod angle of a person in front of an infrared camera, and then a moving-average model is used to predict the nod angle of the person. The average error of the nod angle obtained by the system has been estimated as about 5°. The CG character nods its head, not only when the human nods his or her head, but also when the human shakes his or her head to the left or right.
