An instant-switching ?–Σ fractional-N frequency synthesizer with adjustable duty cycles

A Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)-based frequency synthesizer (FS) with adjustable duty cycle is presented. By employing digital processing circuitry and the ??C?? fractional-N technique, the FS is capable of generating arbitrary frequencies in a wide frequency range, and capable of adjusting the clock duty cycles. In addition, the switching between different frequencies is instant except when a very fine frequency resolution is required. The adjustable duty cycle and instant switching are desired features in applications such as time-interleaved Analog-to-Digital-Converters (ADCs), switched-capacitor circuits, and DC?CDC converters. The design was fabricated using a 0.13???m CMOS process. This paper gives the theories, analysis, implementation, and measurement results of this FS.     

Breaking the Limits of Ionic Liquid‐Based Supercapacitors: Mesoporous Carbon Electrodes Functionalized with Manganese Oxide Nanosplotches for Dense,Stable, and Wide‐Temperature Energy Storage

Manganese oxide (MnO₂) nanosplotches (NSs) are deposited on N‐ and S‐doped ordered mesoporous carbon (N,S‐CMK‐3) essentially blocking microporosity. The obtained N,S‐CMK‐3/MnO₂ composite materials are assembled into ionic liquid (IL)‐based symmetric supercapacitors, which exhibit a high specific capacitance of 200 F g^?1 (0–3.5 V) at a scan rate of 2 mV s^?1, and good rate stability with 55.5% capacitance retention at a scan rate of 100 mV s^?1. The device can operate in a wide temperature range (?20 to 60 °C), and high cycling stability of N,S‐CMK‐3/MnO₂ composite electrode is demonstrated. Lower energy of ?3.56 eV can be achieved for the adsorption of 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium⁺ (EMIM⁺) cation on the edge between MnO₂ NSs and N,S‐CMK‐3 than on the plane of MnO₂ NS (?3.04 eV), both being more preferred than the surface of pristine N,S‐CMK‐3 (?1.52 eV). This strengthening of the ion adsorption at the three‐phase boundary between N,S‐CMK‐3, MnO₂, and IL leads to enhancement of the specific capacity as compared to nondoped or MnO₂‐free reference materials. Supercapacitors based on such composite electrodes show significantly enhanced areal capacity pointing to energy storage in the mesopores rather than in the electrochemical surface layer, demonstrating a new energy storage mechanism in ILs.     

Performance enhancement in organic photovoltaic devices using plasma-polymerized fluorocarbon-modified Ag nanoparticles

In this work, Ag nanoparticles were modified by an ultra-thin plasma-polymerized fluorocarbon film (CF_X) to form a composite CF_X-modified Ag nanoparticles/indium tin oxide (ITO) anode for application in organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. A CF_X-modified Ag nanoparticles/ITO anode exhibited a superior surface work function of 5.4 eV suited for application in OPV devices. The performance of zinc phthalocyanine:fullerene-based OPV devices showed a significant improvement when the structural identical cells are made with the CF_X-modified Ag nanoparticles/ITO. This work yielded a promising power conversion efficiency of 3.5 ± 0.1%, notably higher than that with a bare ITO anode (2.7 ± 0.1%).

基于奇异值分解的特征跟踪方法

在传统的基于模板匹配的跟踪方法中，均是给定一个模板，然后从图像中各个位置取出一个个与模板大小一致的区域进行相似性度量，找出与模板距离最小的一个区域作为当前模板，以便进行下一步的匹配跟踪工作。在景象匹配和相关跟踪过程中，由于所面临的大多数是变化的场景，实时获取的图像与预存模板之间存在比较大的差异，传统相关匹配方法的应用就会受到限制；而且在跟踪过程中，随时更新模板会造成跟踪性能对扰动过分敏感，从而产生漂移。首先拍摄目标不同角度的图像（尽可能包含目标可能出现的所有情况），构成目标图像训练集合，抽取出特征矩阵，对它进行奇异值分解，构成一个关于目标的多维空间。然后再用匹配方法在全局范围搜索，找出目标的大致位置，并利用收敛方法在确定的大致位置内进行搜索，确定目标的仿射变换系数，从而得到一个目标位置的确切描述。

高速通信网络存在大量诸如可变速率(VBR)视频这类具有突发性的业务流。突发性,在数学上主要通过业务流的到达时间间隔的边缘概率分布和自相关函数来描述。TES(Transform-Expand-Sample)是一种建模静态随机过程的非参数化技术,能准确匹配边缘概率分布并很好地近似自相关函数。本文简要介绍了TES方法的基本原理,再详细讨论突发业务流的TES建模及其软件实现。对MPEG视频业务的建模的仿真结果表明,TES模型能够很好地表征网络业务流的突发性。
