Planar-shape prototype generation using a tree-based random greedy algorithm.

A prototype is representative of a set of similar objects. This paper proposes an approach that formulates the problem of prototype generation as finding the mean from a given set of objects, where the prototype solution must satisfy certain constraints. These constraints describe the important perceptual features of the sample shapes that the proposed prototype must retain. The contour prototype generated from a set of planar objects was used as an example of the approach, and the corners were used as the perceptual features to be preserved in the proposed prototype shape. However, finding a prototype solution for more than two contours is computationally intractable. A tree-based approach is therefore proposed in which an efficient greedy random algorithm is used to obtain a good approximation of the proposed prototype and analyze the expected complexity of the algorithm. The proposed prototype-generation process for hand-drawn patterns is described and discussed in this paper.     

Al-Cu-Fe QUASICRYSTALLINE PHASE FORMATION BY MECHANICAL ALLOYING

Al-Cu-Fe alloys were prepared from elemental powders in a high-energy planetary ball mill. A sequence of solid state reactions resulting in quasicrystal (QC) phase formation takes place during heating of the as-milled powder. These reactions were studied by both differential scanning calorimetry and x-ray diffraction methods. Mechanically alloyed powders were consolidated by cold and hot pressing, as well as by explosive compaction. After annealing at sufficiently high temperatures, the consolidated samples are single-phase QC, except the ones consolidated by explosion. The high reactivity of the as-milled alloys causes the appearance of high porosity of the consolidated samples after the annealing.     

结构滑模控制的一种指数趋近律方法

提出了一种指数趋近律 ,当正常运动段远离切换面时 ,能快速地趋向切换面 ;当运动接近切换面时 ,趋近速度又大大降低。这样与常用指数趋近律相比 ,过渡时间、系统的抖动以及所需控制力都能进一步减小。最后将这一理论应用到三层剪切型框架进行数值模拟 ,振动控制效果明显。     

形式化语言在UMTS开发中的应用

由于3G协议规范的复杂性，3GPP方法论指导方针中鼓励使用标准的形式化语言来进行UMTS产品的设计、开发与测试。文中概要性地描述了UMTS的体系结构和在规范描述中用到的一些形式化语言的基本概念和特点，探讨了这些形式化语言在UMTS开发中的应用。使用形式化语言开发UMTS可以简化和改进测试程序，实现新产品与新标准的同步推出。     

Analysis of ATSC field test results in Taiwan

Field tests of the transmission performance of the ATSC DTV system have been conducted in Taiwan. The test results as well as comparisons against the NTSC system performance are reported and analyzed. From the measured results the reception characteristics of the DTV can be deduced and can provide guidelines for television stations to design the transmission system, schedule equipment deployment, plan service coverage areas, and improve the reception quality of the digital signal     

Synthesis and Characterization of Nanosized ZSM-5 Zeolite with Mesoporous Carbon Nanotube as Templates

Preparation of nanocrystalline ZSM-5 has been proven possible with carbon matrix by using confined space synthesis. In combination with the hydrothermal method, by the use of a mesoporous carbon nanotube as the inert support material, ZSM-5 with SiO₂/Al₂O₃ ratios of 100 was successfully synthesized with an average crystal size of 27 nm. Their structures were preliminarily characterized by x-ray power diffraction (XRPD) and infrared spectroscopy (IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. At the same time, we put forward the mechanism about the confined space synthesis in terms of the results.
