一种基于Taylor和Kalman的室内协同定位方法

结合Chan算法、Taylor算法及Kalman算法三种TDOA算法的优点,提出一种能应用于室内实时定位的协同方法。首先基于Chan与Taylor的协同定位方法估算位置信息,并通过对估计结果的残差设置阈值来鉴别NLOS,从而抛弃受到NLOS污染严重的测量数据。其次,再对符合条件的测量数据,利用Kalman方法计算定位结果,与Taylor方法的定位结果通过设置判别条件进行比较,以此进一步抑制NLOS干扰。对符合判别条件的定位结果,进行残差加权及移动平均加权处理,从而完成最终定位结果的更新。最后,利用室内实时定位实验,证明该方法能有效过滤受到NLOS污染严重的测距数据,提高定位精度,并且具有良好的稳定性。     

Crystallization and morphological features of syndiotactic polystyrene induced from glassy state

Spherulitic growth rates and microstructure of syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) cold-crystallized isothermally at various temperatures, T_c (115–240 °C), have been investigated by small-angle light scattering (SALS), optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The derived activation energy for sPS chain mobility at the crystal growing front is 5.4 kJ/mol, which is relatively lower than that of isotactic polystyrene, 6.5 kJ/mol. In addition, the Hv scattering invariant (Q_Hv) measured by SALS on the crystallized sPS samples displays a pronounced minimum at 150 °C. Despite a wide range of T_c used, however, the sample crystallinity estimated by Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy remains unchanged. Prior to crystallization, the correlation length derived from the Vv patterns on the basis of Debye–Bueche model is ca. 1.13 μm regardless of T_c used. Interconnected domains with a width of ca. 1.8±0.5 μm are readily observed in all the crystallized samples under phase contrast microscopy and the phase-separated structure is conserved within sPS spherulites whose diameters are increased with increasing T_c.

Based on the above facts, we conclude that the presence of a Q_Hv minimum is ascribed to the resultant events of the two competitive transitions i.e. liquid–solid crystallization, and liquid–liquid demixing resulting from the spinodal decomposition (SD). At lower T_c, the unstable SD transition overwhelms the crystallization. Despite the low chain mobility, the coarsening process driven by the interfacial energies has reached a certain level before crystalline nucleation takes place. At higher T_c, on the other hand, cold crystallization becomes the dominant process due to the enhanced chain mobility, leading to the suppression of ongoing SD coarsening process. At an intermediate T_c range, comparable competition of the phase separation and crystallization prohibits the development of ordered symmetry within spherulites, giving the presence of Q_Hv minimum.     

Identification of organochlorines and organobromines in coals

Four Chinese bituminous coals were extracted with CS₂, n-hexane, benzene, methanol, acetone, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and THF/methanol (1: 3 vol/vol) mixed solvent sequentially. The resulting 28 extracts were analyzed with GC/MS. Six organochlorines (OCs) and two organobromines (OBs) were identified in eight extracts from the coals. Our experiments provide, for the first time, the information on the molecular structure of OCs and OBs in coals.     

Structural and Electric Properties of Sol–Gel-Derived Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3 Multilayers

Crack-free Ba_0.9Sr_0.1TiO₃ (BST) and Mn-doped Ba_0.9Sr_0.1TiO₃ (BSTM) multilayers with thickness over 2 μm have been prepared by chemical solution deposition based on one single precursor. Both multilayers exhibit good performance as Bragg reflectors. Mn doping tends to suppress the leakage current in BST multilayers effectively by smoothing the layers and the reduction of the charge carries. The Mn-doped BST multilayer displays an excellent ferroelectric property, with an average remnant polarization ( P _r⁺– P _r⁻)/2 of 12.69 μC/cm² and an average coercive field ( E ⁺ – E ⁻ )/2 of about 72.95 kV/cm under an applied field of 440 kV/cm.

Socially Assistive Robots in Elderly Care: A Mixed-Method Systematic Literature Review

The world’s population is aging, and developed countries are engaged in developing a new aged-care paradigm to reduce spiraling healthcare costs. Assistive technologies like Socially Assistive Robots (SAR) are being considered as enablers to support the process of care giving or keep elderly at home longer. This article reports a mixed-method systematic review of SAR in elderly care and recognizes its impact on elderly well-being, integrating evidence from qualitative and quantitative studies. It follows the principles explained in Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and classifies interventions, measures, and outcomes of field trials of SAR in elderly care. Eighty-six studies in 37 study groups have been included. The findings imply positive effects of SAR on elderly well-being. Ten significant recommendations are made to help avoid the current limitations of existing research and to improve future research and its applicability. This review revealed that SAR can potentially enhance elderly well-being and decrease the workload on caregivers. There is a need for rigorous research methodology, person-centered care, caregiver expectation model, multimodal interaction, multimodal data collection, and modeling of culturally diverse groups to facilitate acceptability of SAR.     

LIQUID PHASE TRANSPORT PROPERTIES IN A HIGH PRESSURE PACKED COLUMN

A mathematical model of fluid flow and mass transfer in a packed bed was derived and used to evaluate the liquid phase axial dispersion and mass transfer coefficients under high pressure conditions. The least-squares method was used to evaluate the rate parameters from experimental breakthrough curves, and the agreement between the concentration curves predicted from rate parameters and those measured experimentally was good. Experiments were performed at 20 and 200°C with water as a solvent and nonporous soda-lime glass beads as packing. Although the axial dispersion coefficient was independent of temperature and pressure, the mass transport parameters were found to be pressure dependent.     

Manipulating the microstructure and rheology in polymer‐organoclay composites

A series of nanocomposites prepared by melt‐blending of cloisite‐based organoclays with poly(ethylene‐vinylacetate) (EVA) and neutralized poly (ethylene‐methacrylic acid) (EMA) copolymers were investigated via DSC, small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS), and rheological techniques. SAXS results indicated partial clay exfoliation in all samples. In both EMA and EVA systems, the nominal melting temperature T_m and bulk crystallinity are not significantly affected by the presence of organoclays, suggesting that clay particles are predominantly confined in the amorphous phase. In rheological measurements (above T_m), the EVA‐clay system demonstrated a solid‐like rheological behavior under the small‐strain oscillatory shear, yet it was able to yield and flow under a steady shear, which is the characteristic of physical crosslinking. In contrast, the EMA‐clay system exhibited a melt‐like rheological behavior, where the influence of organoclay on the thermorheological behavior of the EMA composite was quite minimal. We propose that the carbonyl groups of vinylacetate in EVA interact with the clay surface, resulting in a strong physically crosslinking like interaction in the melt. On the other hand, the interaction between EMA and clay is weak because of repulsion between carboxyl anions and negatively charged clay surface.     

Effect of bentonite on the physical properties and drug‐release behavior of poly(AA‐co‐PEGMEA)/bentonite nanocomposite hydrogels for mucoadhesive

A series of nanocomposite hydrogels for mucoadhesive were prepared from acrylic acid, poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate, and intercalated bentonite clay by photopolymerization. The microstructures were identified by X‐ray diffraction (XRD). Results showed that the swelling ratio for the present nanocomposite hydrogels decreased with an increase of bentonite, whereas the gel strength and Young's modulus of the present gels increased with an increase of bentonite. However, the adhesive force of the present gels did not decrease with an increase of bentonite. XRD results indicated that the exfoliation of bentonite was achieved in the xerogels and swollen gels. Finally, the drug‐release behaviors for these gels were also assessed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 2934–2941, 2004
