A simple method for measuring the cell gap of a reflective twisted nematic LCD

A simple method is demonstrated for measuring the cell gap of reflective twisted nematic (RTN) liquid crystal (LC) cells. This method utilizes a single laser beam and crossed polarizer configuration such that Fabry-Perot effect and surface reflection are eliminated. Experimental results agree well with theory.     

拉伸速率对PP/GB复合材料力学性能的影响

应用Instron材料试验机考察了室温下拉伸速率对玻璃微珠填充聚丙烯复合材料的弹性模量和屈服强度的影响，结果表明，随着微珠含量的增加，试样的弹性模量（Ec）增大，且与拉伸应变速率呈近乎幂律函数关系，而屈服强度（бyc）则随着微珠体积分数（Φf）的增加呈线性函数形式下降，并随着拉伸应变速率的增加呈幂律函数形式提高，此外，讨论了Ec、Φf与бyc三者之间的关系。

Condom use: A self-efficacy model.

A survey of heterosexually active college students gathered information about condom use, self-efficacy (SE), outcome expectancies, sexual attitudes, peer group influences, AIDS knowledge, and a perceived vulnerability to AIDS. On the basis of A. Bandura's (1986) social-cognitive theory, a structural model with SE as the central mediator was formulated and evaluated with LISREL. This model explained 46% of the variance in condom use from judgments of SE and effects attributable to peers and 53% of the variance in SE from outcome expectancies and peer group influences. Sexual attitudes, AIDS knowledge, and perceived vulnerability did not predict condom use. Most students were well-informed about HIV transmission but reported not feeling at risk, even though many engaged in risky sexual behavior.

A mixed design approach for probabilistic structural durability

In this paper, a mixed approach for probabilistic structural durability design of mechanical systems is proposed. In this approach, a deterministic design optimization that considers structural crack initiation and crack propagation lives at critical points of the structural component as design constraints is performed first. After an optimal design is obtained, a reliability analysis is performed to ascertain if the deterministic optimal design is reliable. If the probability of the failure of the deterministic optimal design is found to be acceptable, a reliability-based design approach that employs a set of interactive design steps, such as trade-off analysis and what-if study, is used to obtain a near-optimal design that is reliable with an affordable computational cost. A 3-D tracked vehicle roadarm is employed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.     

NiCuZn铁氧体和银内电极的共烧行为

NiCuZn铁氧体正作为磁介质广泛地应用于低烧多层片式电感，因此有必要对其与银内电极的共烧行为进行研究。该文主要介绍NiCuZn铁氧体／银内电极多层复合体共烧过程中的烧结收缩、界面反应、扩散对介质性能的影响。尖晶石结构中存在相当数量的空位，这为银离子提供了一定的溶解度，因此在共烧过程中银对铁氧体的相组成影响较小。银对铁氧体性能的影响体现在两个方面。一方面是由于银具有相对低的烧结温度，从而在烧结过程中起到助烧剂的作用，促进致密化过程，提高烧结体的密度和磁导率；另一方面，银促使铁氧体中的铜在晶界处析出，导致晶界处应力，使磁导率降低，晶粒生长也被一定程度地抑制。     

ANALYSIS AND PROCESSING OF LMF－COSTAS STEPPED FREQUENCY RADAR SIGNAL

Linear Modulated Frequency (LMF) Costas Stepped Frequency Radar (SFR) signal is introduced. Its ambiguity function is derived and analyzed in detail and its feasibility is validated in theory. The scheme of the proposed signal processing is also presented. The results of theoretic analysis and simulation show that, by using the proposed signal and increasing the bandwidth of the total stepped frequency, the ambiguity sidelobe is well suppressed and the range-velocity coupling in the stepped frequency radar is also greatly weakened.     

A One‐Kilobit PQR‐CMOS Smart Pixel Array

The photonic quantum ring (PQR) laser is a three dimensional whispering gallery (WG) mode laser and has anomalous quantum wire properties, such as microampere to nanoampere range threshold currents and √T‐dependent thermal red shifts. We observed uniform bottom emissions from a 1‐kb smart pixel chip of a 32×32 InGaAs PQR laser array flip‐chip bonded to a 0.35 µm CMOS‐based PQR laser driver. The PQR‐CMOS smart pixel array, now operating at 30 MHz, will be improved to the GHz frequency range through device and circuit optimization.
