Propylene epoxidation in a microreactor with electric heating

Gas phase propylene epoxidation on gold catalysts has attracted wide attention from industry and academia due to its high selectivity. However, it suffers from low propylene conversion and rapid catalyst deactivation. Experiments showed that propylene conversion could be increased by raising H₂, O₂, or C₃H₆ concentration in the feed, but the feed compositions were within the explosion limit. It was also shown that the activity of the used catalyst could be fully recovered, but the regeneration temperature was 280 °C, much higher than that for reaction. Therefore a microchannel reactor was devised to suppress explosion and was constructed with Fecralloy, to raise the temperature rapidly for catalyst regeneration by electric heating. In two minutes the temperature of the reactor could be raised from 50 to 300 °C. Catalysts were coated on the alloy belt by dip coating, and the performance of the reactor was evaluated under different operating conditions. Results showed that in the microreactor the overall reaction rate was controlled mainly by the intrinsic reaction rate, and also influenced by film diffusion to a certain extent. The deactivated catalyst was regenerated in the microchannel reactor and the activity was fully recovered.     

Preparation and self‐assembly of poly(diglycidyl maleate‐co‐stearyl methacrylate)

Poly(diglycidyl maleate‐co‐stearyl methacrylate) (P(DGMA‐co‐SMA)) with reactive epoxy groups was synthesized by reaction of poly(maleic anhydride‐co‐stearyl methacrylate) (P(MA‐co‐SMA)) and epichlorohydrin. The effect of precipitant on self‐assembly behaviors of the resultant copolymer was investigated. It was found that vesicles and nanotubule liked aggregates can be obtained through self‐assembly of P(DGMA‐co‐SMA) in THF solution using CH₃CH₂OH (EtOH) as precipitant while spheral aggregates can be obtained using H₂O as precipitant. The mechanism of the self‐assembly behavior was discussed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007     

Trusted Integrated Circuits: The Problem and Challenges

Hardware security has become more and more important in current information security architecture. Recently collected reports have shown that there may have been considerable hardware attacks prepared for possible military usage from all over the world. Due to the intrinsic difference from software security, hardware security has some special features and challenges. In order to guarantee hardware security, academia has proposed the concept of trusted integrated circuits, which aims at a secure circulation of IC design, manufacture and chip using. This paper reviews the main problems of trusted integrated circuits, and concludes four key domains of the trusted IC, namely the trusted IC design, trusted manufacture, trusted IP protection, and trusted chip authentication. The main challenges in those domains are also analyzed based on the current known techniques. Finally, the main limitations of the current techniques and possible future trends are discussed.     

Communicating Is Crowdsourcing: Wi-Fi Indoor Localization with CSI-Based Speed Estimation

Numerous indoor localization techniques have been proposed recently to meet the intensive demand for location-based service (LBS). Among them, the most popular solutions are the Wi-Fi fingerprint-based approaches. The core challenge is to lower the cost of fingerprint site-survey. One of the trends is to collect the piecewise data from clients and establish the radio map in crowdsourcing manner. However the low participation rate blocks the practical use. In this work, we propose a passive crowdsourcing channel state information (CSI) based indoor localization scheme, C²IL. Despite a crowdsourcing based approach, our scheme is totally transparent to the client and the only requirement is to connect to our 802.11n access points (APs). C²IL is built upon an innovative method to accurately estimate the moving speed solely based on 802.11n CSI. Knowing the walking speed of a client and its surrounding APs, a graph matching algorithm is employed to extract the received signal strength (RSS) fingerprints and establish the fingerprint map. For localization phase, we design a trajectory clustering based localization algorithm to provide precise real-time indoor localization and tracking. We develop and deploy a practical working system of C²IL in a large office environment. Extensive evaluations indicate that the error of speed estimation is within 3%, and the localization error is within 2 m at 80% time in a very complex indoor environment.     

掺锰BaTiO3 PTCR陶瓷的电子顺磁共振研究

利用电子顺磁共振（EPR）方法对Mn掺杂的BaTiO3 PTCR陶瓷在120－450K的温度范围内进行了研究，研究结果表明：高自旋Mn^2 离子的6重谱线非常明显，表征谱线位置的g因子为2．009 9,Mn^2 离子信号弱弱与BaTiO3晶体结构密切相关，Mn^2 离子信号的温度分布呈U型，即在三方相和立方相时，信号强度较强，而在四方相和斜方相时信号很弱，这是因为在四方相和斜方相中，由于BaTiO3晶体结构的扭曲和畸变，导致Mn^2 和Vo空位缔合生成Mn^2 -Vo复合缺陷，未成对电子的消失以及复合缺陷n^2 -Vo的生成最Mn^2 在四方相和斜方相（200－380K）消失的主因，实验中没有发现Mn^3 和Mn^4 的信号，而与实验的环境条件一致，掺Mn后样品Curie点的漂移可能是Mn进入晶格的一个判据，此外，由于试样的n(Ba)/n(Ti)=1，因而没有发现钡空位VBa及其它的复合缺陷（如：VBa-Mn^2 ,Mn^3 -Vo,La^3 -Mn^3 等），Mn^2 离子等电子陷阱的生长是Curie温度处电阻骤然增加的主要原因。

Rheological characteristics of mesophase pitch

Rheological characteristics of two pretreated petroleum pitches, during their transformation to mesophase, have been studied by using rotalional viscometer. Simultaneously, the formation, growth, coalescence of mesuphase spheres, and the alignment of coalesced mesophase were observed by Hot-Stage-Cinema-Microscope, discussed with the results of viscosity change and the Q.I. content. It is found that both pretreated pitches were Newtonian fluids at low temperature, but behaved pseudoplastics as increase of mesophase content above 390C. Shear thinning behaviour was also apparent in the shear rate range of 1.9–20 sec⁻¹ at temperature above 390C. The apparent viscosity-temperature curves of this pyrolysed pitches were much affected by the pretreatment conditions.
