Interactive image segmentation based on level sets of probabilities

In this paper, we present a robust and accurate algorithm for interactive image segmentation. The level set method is clearly advantageous for image objects with a complex topology and fragmented appearance. Our method integrates discriminative classification models and distance transforms with the level set method to avoid local minima and better snap to true object boundaries. The level set function approximates a transformed version of pixelwise posterior probabilities of being part of a target object. The evolution of its zero level set is driven by three force terms, region force, edge field force, and curvature force. These forces are based on a probabilistic classifier and an unsigned distance transform of salient edges. We further propose a technique that improves the performance of both the probabilistic classifier and the level set method over multiple passes. It makes the final object segmentation less sensitive to user interactions. Experiments and comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.     

AN EXPERIMENTAL-NUMERICAL METHOD FOR MEASURING CRACK PROPAGATING VELOCITIES UNDER STRESS WAVE LOADING

An experimental-numerical method for measuring dynamic crack propagating velocities under stress wave loading is established in this paper. The experiments of the three-point bend specimen are done on the improved Hopkinson bar. Deflection of loading point, dynamic load and instantaneous crack length are measured, then crack propagating velocities are calculated. Experiments on 40Cr steel show that the results given by this method have a good agreement with that obtained by the resistance fracture gage method. Therefore this method is feasible for measuring crack propagating velocities under high loading rate and will have wide application.

电极表面处理和电极材料对微型点焊时电极粘附的影响

研究了电极表面处理和电极材料对镀镍钢板和镍板微型点焊时电极粘附的影响。结果表明：电极表面涂敷TiC后能提高CuCrZr电极和GlidCop60电极的抗粘附性能，其原因是涂层中的TiC能阻碍电极和镀镍板之间的局部焊接；GlidCop60电极的抗粘附性能优于CuCrZr电极的抗粘附性能，其原因是弥散分布于GlidCop60电极中的Al2O3能阻碍电极和镀镍板之间的局部焊接。     

硫黄促进剂体系用非迁移性助活性剂低聚物

本文报道的研究目的是开发迟效性促进剂硫黄硫化体系用助活性剂。这种添加剂可以提高交联键的形成速率而很少改变或者根本不改变混炼胶或其硫化胶的抗焦烧性性能或其他性能。本研究的另一目的是要设计一种具有慢效作用的硫化体系助活性剂。它不会从橡胶贴合制品(如轮胎)的一个部分迁移或者扩散到相邻的部分中去。本研究的初期阶段曾致力于评价一系列用作乳聚丁苯橡胶(SBR)硫化助活性剂的高分子量乙烯基吡啶二烯烃乳液共聚物。这些共聚物在室温下绝大部分是橡胶态的,它们都很容易分散于丁苯橡胶混炼胶中。使用乙烯基吡啶共聚物得到的初步结果是令人鼓舞的。

日本第一台商用多种固体流化床（MSFB）锅炉的设计和运行经验

0 引言近年来,在日本营造燃用低质固体燃料的锅炉日益增多,其中主要集中在循环流化床(CFB)锅炉上,这是因为它具有:1)广泛的燃料适应性;2)低的 NO_x 和 SO_2 污染排放。1986年三井公司建造了日本第一台商用 MSFB 锅炉,它被用作 Kuraray 化纤公司的自备动力装置。在此锅炉的设计与运行之前,作者利用试验装置研究了 MSFB 密相床的特性,以保证其性能和运行稳定性。此外,作者还研究了 MSFB 中所采用的固体循环系统在增加燃烧稳定
