Reaction mechanism and microstructure evolution of reaction sintered <Emphasis Type="Italic">h</Emphasis>-BN

Hexagonal boron nitride ceramic (h-BN) based on the nitridation of B powders was obtained by reaction sintering method. The effects of sintering temperature on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the resultant products were investigated and the reaction mechanism was discussed. Results showed that the reaction between B and N₂ occurred vigorously at temperatures ranging from 1 000 °C to 1 300 °C, which resulted in the generation of t-BN. When the temperature exceeded 1 450 °C, transformation from t-BN to h-BN began to occur. As the sintering temperature increased, the spherical particles of t-BN gradually transformed into fine sheet particles of h-BN. These particles subsequently displayed a compact arrangement to achieve a more uniform microstructure, thereby increasing the strength.     

Visible light localization algorithm based on multi-measurements constraints

In the indoor visible light transmission environment with complex noise, traditional received signal strength indication(RSSI)localization algorithm and imaging localization algorithm are unable to accurately determine the reason of the inaccurate localization model and inadequate constraints of position coordinates. In order to solve the problems, a visible light localization algorithm based on multi-measurements constraints is presented in the paper. The algorithm first constructs a joint localization state space model based on RSSI localization and the imaging localization algorithm. Then, states, measurements and their equations are constructed based on the space model. Finally, the equations are resolved using the unscented Kalman filter(UKF). Compared with RSSI localization and imaging localization, simulation results show that the RMSE of the proposed algorithm could be closer to the Cramer Rao bound. Besides, the localization probability of the proposed algorithm is higher than that of RSSI localization and imaging localization algorithm.     

Low-loss light propagation in the chain of microcavities

According to the focusing property of the photonic nanojet, the coupling characteristics for the chain of microcavities have been studied. Low-loss light propagation in the chain of microcavities is proposed. The influence of different wavelengths on the intensity of the photonic nanojet and the location of the focal spot are given. Intensity distribution and transmission characteristics for the chain of coupled spherical microcavities are analysed. Simulation results and theoretical analysis show that the chain of spherical microcavities has a highly focused beam and low-loss characteristics because of the focusing effect and backscattering enhancement of the photonic nanojet. A low-loss waveguide can be designed by using these properties of the chain of spherical microcavities. Sub-wavelength focusing of the beam, high optical throughput, and broad spectral transmission properties make the chains of microspheres able to be used in a variety of biomedical applications including minimally invasive and ultraprecise laser surgery.     

High-Precision Wideband Phase-Derived Velocity Measurement for Micro-Motion Extraction

A phase-derived velocity measurement method is proposed in a wideband coherent system, based on a precise echo model considering the inner pulse Doppler effect caused by fast moving targets. The Cramer-Rao low band of velocity measurement precision is deduced, demonstrating the high precision of the proposed method. Simulations and out-field experiments further validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in high-precision measurement and micro-motion extraction for targets with weak reflection intensity. Compared with the long-time integration approaches for velocity measurement, the phase-derived method is easy to implement and meets the requirement for high data rate, which makes it suitable for micro-motion feature extraction in wideband systems.     

Investigations on Structured Polyamide for Laser Sintered Body Armor

Stab resistance body armor (SRBA) is essential in protecting people from knife injuries. The protective parts of traditional SRBA are made of multi-layered ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), which causes heavy heat stress for people wearing it. The protective parts of SRBA manufactured using laser sintering (LS) 3D printing technology provide high manufacturing flexibility and low weight. Two different structures, plain plate and pyramid-structured plate, were investigated. The pyramid structure showed much higher stab resistance property then the plain plate, because of the angle and thickness effects. This is the first effort applying the LS technology and polyamide (PA) material (PA 3200) on SRBA. By applying the pyramid structure on the protective layer of the SRBA, the total weight could reduce 30%-40%.     

河南省水、土、能资源综合利用效率与碳排放强度的关系研究

水、土、能等资源是人类社会各种经济活动的重要基础,研究区域各种资源开发利用与碳排放的相互影响机制,对于推动资源节约和经济社会低碳转型具有重要意义。采用河南省18个地级市2006—2014年的相关统计数据,分析了河南省碳排放的时空变化特征,对水、土、能等资源利用效率和碳排放强度的关系进行了初步探讨。得出以下结论:1河南省总体碳排放量呈逐年递增趋势,但地市之间差异明显;2在河南全省及三大区域的空间大尺度上,资源利用效率与碳排放之间存在明显的相关性;3在河南省地级市空间尺度上,资源利用效率与碳排放强度的对应关系并不完全吻合;4对于不同区域而言,在今后的发展过程中,应综合考虑碳排放强度和资源利用效率的关系,对碳减排和资源利用效率提升的目标应该有所侧重和区分,采取差别化的发展策略,这对于河南省未来经济社会的低碳转型具有重要意义。

针对桥梁对河流的阻水影响问题,基于河流能量观点提出了考虑河流能量与桥梁阻水比双因素的综合判别指标η,应用其讨论了山区河流和平原区河流修建桥梁对河流的阻水影响。结果表明:综合判别指标η可以有效地区分相同桥墩布置形式桥梁对不同类型河流的阻水影响;综合判别指标η可以指导桥墩在河流中的合理布置,有效减小桥梁对河流的阻水影响,与桥梁阻水比、单宽流量等指标在指导桥墩合理布置方面起到相同效果。该研究成果在一定程度上弥补了一般桥梁阻水比指标的不足。     

Performance Comparison of Long-Wave Infrared Imaging Spectrometer Between Dyson Form and Offner Form

In view of the difficulties in traditional long-wave infrared imaging spectrometer which is hard to realize a high signal-to-noise ratio and miniaturization as well under the weak remote sensing signal,Offner convex grating spectrometer and Dyson concave grating spectrometer,both having concentric structure,are designed and analyzed in the band of 8-12 μm. The diffraction angle expressions of the two spectrometers are obtained and the diffraction characteristics are acquired. Both of the spectrometers are designed in Zemax environment under different F-numbers and different grating constants with the same slit,spatial resolution,spectral resolution and detector. The results show that Dyson grating spectrometer possesses the advantages of higher throughput and smaller volume, and Offner grating spectrometer possesses the advantage of more accessible material and the absence of chromatic aberration. The differences between Dyson form and Offner form show that the former is a better choice in the long-wave infrared imaging spectrometer.
