Plasma developable photoresist containing electronic excitation energy quenching system

A dry developable negative working resist composition comprised of poly(methyl isopropenyl ketone) (PMIPK) and 4-methyl-2,6-di(4′-azido-benzylidene) cyclohexanone-1 was examined. The main photochemical product formed in the resist pattern was found to be a secondary amine which crosslinks PMIPK. Post-annealing forms a hydrogen-bonded product which shows a powerful electronic excitation energy quenching effect. The quencher is more powerful than the aromatic compound arising from the azide by post-annealing only. The residual resist thickness of the negative pattern is about 80 percent of the initial thickness of the coating in spite of all the azide compound remaining in the resist coating. The obtained dry developed resist pattern has a high dry etch resistance. Etchings of Si and SiO₂ were performed by plasma and reactive ion etching, respectively.     

考虑寄生电感的谐振开关电容变换器电压尖峰抑制

基于碳化硅(SiC)器件的谐振开关电容变换器(RSCC)因其软开关特性,适用于高频、高功率密度的场合.但是较高的工作频率使其对线路寄生参数较敏感,易造成开关器件的电压尖峰问题.通过分析RSCC叠层母排模型,该文建立含有寄生电感的等效电路,研究寄生电感对电路运行模态的影响,并推导开关器件电压峰值与寄生电感之间的关系.在此基础上,提出优化叠层母排结构和吸收电容的电压尖峰抑制方案,仿真及实验结果验证了该文电压尖峰抑制方案的有效性和可行性.     

基于固态LTD的大容量脉冲功率电源

固态直线变压器驱动源(LTD)是新型的脉冲功率电路方法之一.其工作原理基于大量功率半导体器件的同步控制,因此它在电路结构和工作特性方面与传统的脉冲功率电源有很大不同.在此通过实验,首先验证了LTD的基本工作原理,进而试制了一台采用650个功率MOSFET的LTD系统.实验结果分别给出了超过20 kV的最高输出电压和超过3.2 kA的最高输出电流,上升时间(10％～90％)小于20 ns.在此基础上还采用少量的模块验证了双极性LTD的可行性.实验结果同时也显示了开关的导通电阻对LTD输出参数的影响和由此带来的技术问题.     

低气压等离子喷涂TiO2涂层结构的研究

本研究分析了在低气压等离子喷涂条件下,TiO_2涂层的结构受等离子弧喷涂过程中氧分解量所影响。氧分解量很大程度上依赖于离子气中氢流量的大小,此外喷涂室压力也有一定影响。而等离子弧功率和喷涂距离对TiO_2涂层的氧分解量没有多大影响。在离子气中氢流量不变的条件下,涂层中Ti_3O_5量随喷涂室压力(从100×133.322Pa至400×133.322Pa)增加而增加。     

Gaze direction based vehicle teleoperation method with omnidirectional image stabilization and automatic body rotation control

In robot teleoperation, a robot works as a physical agent at a remote site for a robot operator. There are mainly two tasks in robot teleoperation using camera images: environment recognition using visual information and robot control according to the recognition. In this paper, we propose a gaze direction based vehicle teleoperation method with an omnidirectional image stabilization and an automatic body rotation control. In the proposed method, we manage above two tasks in the same manner that are usually treated separately. This method is an intuitive vehicle teleoperation method where an operator do not need to have concern about vehicle body orientations and can absorb differences of vehicle driving mechanisms. That is, this method frees an operator from being bothered from controlling a vehicle and the operator can concentrate on where he/she intends to go. This method mainly consists of two technologies: an omnidirectional image stabilization technology and automatic body rotation control. The conducted experiments show effectiveness of the proposed method.

3D interactive topology optimization on hand-held devices

This educational paper describes the implementation aspects, user interface design considerations and workflow potential of the recently published TopOpt 3D App. The app solves the standard minimum compliance problem in 3D and allows the user to change design settings interactively at any point in time during the optimization. Apart from its educational nature, the app may point towards future ways of performing industrial design. Instead of the usual geometrize, then model and optimize approach, the geometry now automatically adapts to the varying boundary and loading conditions. The app is freely available for iOS at Apple’s App Store and at http://www.topopt.dtu.dk/TopOpt3D for Windows and OSX.     

An Example-based Procedural System for Element Arrangement

We present a method for synthesizing two dimensional (2D) element arrangements from an example. The main idea is to combine texture synthesis techniques based‐on a local neighborhood comparison and procedural modeling systems based‐on local growth. Given a user‐specified reference pattern, our system analyzes neigh‐borhood information of each element by constructing connectivity. Our synthesis process starts with a single seed and progressively places elements one by one by searching a reference element which has local features that are the most similar to the target place of the synthesized pattern. To support creative design activities, we introduce three types of interaction for controlling global features of the resulting pattern, namely a spray tool, a flow field tool, and a boundary tool. We also introduce a global optimization process that helps to avoid local error concentrations. We illustrate the feasibility of our method by creating several types of 2D patterns.     

Null controllability with vanishing energy for discrete-time systems

In this paper null controllability with vanishing energy for discrete-time systems is considered. As in the case of continuous time systems necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of an algebraic Riccati equation are given. Then necessary and sufficient conditions involving the eigenvalues of the state matrix are given. Reachability and controllability with vanishing energy are also considered and necessary and sufficient conditions for them are given. Finally applications to sampled-data systems, systems with impulse control and periodic systems are discussed.     

High‐pixel‐rate grating‐light‐valve laser projector

Abstract— A high‐pixel‐rate, high‐contrast (30,000:1) wide‐color‐gamut grating‐light‐valve laser projector is reported. A new optical engine enabling high‐frame‐rate (240 Hz) scan projection is employed. Panoramic wide‐angle‐scan projection with a 64:9 aspect ratio was also developed. Speckle noise is eliminated using a simple but highly efficient technique. The optical throughput efficiency of the grating‐light‐valve laser projector is reviewed.
