This correspondence presents several parallel algorithms for image template matching on an SIMD array processor with a hypercube interconnection network. For an N by N image and an M by M window, the time complexity is reduced from O(N2M2) for the serial algorithm to O(M2/K2 + M * log2 N/K + log2 N * log2 K) for the N2K2-PE system (1 ? K ? M), or to O(N2M2/L2) for the L2-PE system (L ? N). With efficient use of the inter-PE communication network, each PE requires only a small local memory, many unnecessary data transmissions are eliminated, and the time complexity is greatly reduced. 相似文献
Layered perovskite Ca2.91Na0.09Ti2-xRhxO7 (x?=?0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06) were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction. Room temperature ferroelectricity has been confirmed. The remanent polarization increases with an increase of Rh content, which is due to a larger oxygen octahedral distortion by Rh doping. The coercive field increases with Rh doping as the pinning effect of oxygen vacancies reduce the mobility of domain wall. Remanent polarization and coercive field are caused by different mechanisms, so it is possible to modulate them independently to meet the requirement of application in ferroelectric field. The concentration of oxygen vacancy increased with Rh doping, leading to the significant increase of leakage current density. The bandgap of samples doped with Rh drastically decrease and the visible light response of the sample was improved by Rh doping due to the formation of impurity energy levels within the band gap.
The magnesium (Mg) alloy low-pressure expendable pattern casting (EPC) process is a newly developed casting technique combining
the advantages of both EPC and low-pressure casting. In this article, metal filling and the effect of the flow quantity of
inert gas on the filling rate in the low-pressure EPC process are investigated. The results showed that the molten Mg alloy
filled the mold cavity with a convex front laminar flow and the metal-filling rate increased significantly with increasing
flow quantity when flow quantity was below a critical value. However, once the flow quantity exceeded a critical value, the
filling rate increased slightly. The influence of the flow quantity of inert gas on melt-filling rate reveals that the mold
fill is controlled by flow quantity for a lower filling rate, and, subsequently, controlled by the evaporation of polystyrene
and the evaporation products for higher metal velocity. Meanwhile, the experimental results showed that the melt-filling rate
significantly affected the flow profile, and the filling procedure for the Mg alloy in the low-pressure EPC process. A slower
melt-filling rate could lead to misrun defects, whereas a higher filling rate results in folds, blisters, and porosity. The
optimized filling rate with Mg alloy casting is 140 to 170 mm/s in low-pressure EPC. 相似文献
Highly conductive transparent aluminium-doped ZnO (ZnO:A1) films were successfully deposited by CW-CO2 laser-induced evaporation. Optimisation of evaporation parameters was based on laser power, substrate temperature, O2 partial pressure in the vacuum chamber and amount of Al in the ZnO source pellet. ZnO:A1 films with an electrical resistivity as low as 6.6 × 10−2Ω·cm and an optical transmission of 80% at 500nm were obtained at laser power of 15 W, substrate temperature of about 200°C, O2 partial pressure of 6—7 × 10−4 Torr and 5wt.% Al. Conductivity of ZnO films can be increased one order via Al-doping in ZnO films. The films obtained by laser-induced evaporation have compared quite favorably with the high quality films obtained by sputtering. 相似文献
The limited swellability in polar media of the commonly used polystyrene/divinylbenzene (PS-DVB) support materials for solid-phase organic synthesis has led to the development of novel, highly swellable hydrophilic gels designed for use in aqueous or polar media. Poly(vinyl alcohol) beads crosslinked with epichlorohydrin (PVA-EP) were prepared by a two-step inverse-suspension polymerization method. While it is known that the morphology of the resulting beads can be controlled by the ratio of EP versus PVA as well as by the pre-crosslinking time, the actual degree of crosslinking of the beads and their mechanical properties remain unknown. It is therefore the purpose of this study to evaluate the actual degree of crosslinking of beads prepared with different quantities of crosslinker in the feed by spectroscopic (Raman, nuclear magnetic resonance) and chemical (functional group loading) methods. The mechanical properties of these swollen PVA-EP beads will be evaluated by single-bead unconfined compression in solvents such as water, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and tetrahydrofuran (THF) and compared to model PS-DVB beads commonly used for solid phase synthesis. 相似文献
Carbon dioxide reforming of methane to synthesis gas has been investigated over supported Ni catalysts in the temperature range of 500–850°C. Addition of CaO (10mol%) promoter to the Ni/γ-Al2O3 resulted in an increase of reaction rate and an improvement of catalyst stability, which may be related to enhanced reducibility of the promoted catalyst. The kinetic studies show that the overall reaction can be described by a Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanistic scheme, assuming that methane dissociation is the rate determining step. In addition to adsorbed CO and formate species, three types of carbonaceous species, C, Cβ and Cγ, were found to exist on the Ni catalyst. While the active C, species is suggested to be responsible for CO formation, the less active Cβ and Cγ species are attributed to causing catalyst deactivation. 相似文献

Based on the voltammetric behaviour of a series of methyl-substituted benzenes in 1M LiPF6/EC-DMC electrolyte, xylene was selected and tested as an electrolyte additive for overcharge protection of Li-ion batteries. From the overcharge curves, CV behaviour and SEM observations of the cells in the presence of xylene, it was found that the additive can polymerize at the overcharged voltage to form a dense layer of isolating polymer film at the cathode surface, which blocks off further oxidation of the electroactive material and electrolyte and, therefore, improves the overcharge tolerance of the Li-ion battery. In addition, the xylene additive has shown only a slight influence on the cycling behaviour. 相似文献
