A novel compact microstrip fed dual-band coplanar antenna for wireless local area network is presented. The antenna comprises of a rectangular center strip and two lateral strips printed on a dielectric substrate and excited using a 50 Omega microstrip transmission line. The antenna generates two separate resonant modes to cover 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN bands. Lower resonant mode of the antenna has an impedance bandwidth (2:1 VSWR) of 330 MHz (2190-2520 MHz), which easily covers the required bandwidth of the 2.4 GHz WLAN, and the upper resonant mode has a bandwidth of 1.23 GHz (4849-6070 MHz), covering 5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN bands. The proposed antenna occupy an area of 217 mm2 when printed on FR4 substrate (epsivr=4.7). A rigorous experimental study has been conducted to confirm the characteristics of the antenna. Design equations for the proposed antenna are also developed 相似文献

Codeposited gadolinia silica composite films have been probed for their growth-dependent optical and microstructural properties using phase-modulated spectroscopic ellipsometry and scanning probe microscopy. The mean refractive indices were computed using an effective ellipsometric multilayer modeling approach. Most of the composite films have shown growth-induced nonlinear refractive indices to some extent. However, the mean optical properties have depicted interesting trends in the microstructural evolutions. Gadolinia silica composite films in the composition ratio ranging from 90:10 to 70:30 have depicted superior optical as well as morphological properties. Unlike conventional oxide films, these composite films displayed microstructural, spectral refractive index, and bandgap supremacy over the pure films. Such an observation cannot be explained by the empirical Moss law. Atomic force microscopy also revealed a superior morphology in the composite films. The autocorrelation and height-height correlation functional analysis have distinctly supported such superior microstructural features in the composite films, which justifies the supremacy of the optical properties. Such an observation has opened up possibilities to utilize such composite films toward deep-and extreme-ultraviolet spectral regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. 相似文献
Nanotechnology has provided tools for next generation biomedical devices which rely on nanostructure interfaces with living cells. In vitro biomimetic structures have enabled observation of cell response to various mechanical and chemical cues, and there is a growing interest in isolating and harnessing the specific cues that 3D microenvironments can provide without the requirement for such culture and the experimental drawbacks associated with it. Here, a randomly oriented gold coated Si nanowire substrate with patterned hydrophobic–hydrophilic areas for the differentiation of isogenic breast cancer cells of varying metastatic potential is reported. When considering synthetic surfaces for the study of cell-nanotopography interfaces, randomly oriented nanowires more closely resemble the isotropic architecture of a natural extracellular matrix. In the study reported here, the authors show that primary cancer cells preferably attach to the hydrophilic region of randomly oriented nanowire substrate while secondary cancer cells do not adhere. Using machine learning analysis of fluorescence images, cells are found to spread and elongate on the nanowire substrates as compared to a flat substrate, where they mostly remain round. Such platforms can not only be used for developing bioassays but also as stepping stones for tissue printing technologies where cells can be selectively patterned at desired locations. 相似文献
Aqueous colloidal suspensions of alumina were processed in the dispersed state and the flocculated state by controlling the double-layer interactions between the particles. Repulsive particle forces led to high packing densities but the green bodies were mechanically so weak that they were unable to retain their shape (the dispersed case). Attractive forces led to good green strength but the packing density was low and the particles were agglomerated (the flocculated case). The agglomerated structure of the flocced specimens could be fragmented by mechanical deformation of the green compact; the deformation was carried out under a superimposed hydrostatic pressure of less than 1 MPa. The flow stess of the flocculated structures depended on the deformation rate, and on the magnitude of the superimposed hydrostatic pressure. The flow stress was 2.5 kPa at a strain rate of 0.1 s−1. Deformation processing of the flocced structures increased the green (relative) density from 0.51 to 0.62. The sintering behavior of underformed and deformation-processed flocced structures was studied. Deformation-processed green bodies sintered more rapidly and yielded a final grain size that was smaller and more uniform than that obtained from the undeformed specimens. The ability to homogenize and densify the packing of flocculated structures by deformation processing suggests new opportunities in green-state processing, for example (i) uniform mixing of more than one kind of particle or particles and fibers, and (ii) net shape forming by injection molding or extrusion, without the use of organic binders. 相似文献
We propose a cross-layer approach with tightly-coupled time synchronization for real-time support and predictable lifetime
in battery-operated sensor networks. Our design spans a sensor hardware platform with hardware-based global time synchronization,
a TDMA link layer protocol with collision-free multi-hop support and node scheduling algorithms for maximum concurrency and
streaming. Our dual-radio sensor platform, FireFly, features an IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver and supports global time synchronization
indoors by using an AM radio carrier-current method and an atomic clock receiver for outdoors. A TDMA-based link protocol,
RT-Link, leverages the hardware for fixed and mobile nodes with a near-optimal and predictable node lifetime of over 2 years.
It outperforms comparable sensor network link protocols such as B-MAC and S-MAC in terms of end-to-end latency and throughput
and node lifetime across all duty cycle ratios. Operating over RT-Link is MAX, a scheduling framework which offers optimal
transmission concurrency and bandwidth management for networks with regular structure. Through analysis and experiments we
show that global time sync is a robust, economical and scalable alternative to in-band software-based techniques. To illustrate
the capabilities and flexibility of our platform, we describe our experiences with two-way voice streaming over multiple hops.
We have deployed a 42-node network with sub-100 μs synchronization accuracy in the NIOSH experimental coal mine for people-tracking
and voice communication.
A three dimensional, transient model is developed for studying heat transfer, fluid flow and mass transfer for the case of a single-pass laser surface alloying process. The numerical study is performed in a co-ordinate system fixed to the laser which moves with a constant scanning speed. The coupled momentum, energy and species conservation equations are solved using a finite volume technique. Phase change processes are modelled using a fixed-grid enthalpy-porosity technique, which is capable of predicting the continuously evolving solid-liquid interface. The three-dimensional model is able to predict the species concentration distribution inside the molten pool during alloying, as well as in the entire cross section of the solidified alloy. Corresponding experimental results show a good qualitative agreement with the numerical predictions with regard to pool shape and final composition distribution. 相似文献
The features of the satellite images can be improved by fusing or combining two images with complementary property. By fusing these two images the spatial property of the resultant image is improved. Satellite images are one of the agents that give the features of the earth’s surface. Processing these satellite images will provide more geographical information hidden in the images. This research paper have an detailed insight study of two types of the satellite images one is Panchromatic (PAN) and other Multispectral (MS). The PAN image with high spatial resolution and MS image with spectral resolution are fused to get better resultant output. For fusion process Nonsubsampled Contour let Transform is used to decompose the images into low and high frequency values. Pulse Coupled Neural Network is used to motivate the low frequency pixel and Morphological filter is applied to the edge detected image for finding the features in the images. This is an real time transformations which will give better results in SAR image processing, video processing, stereo based reconstruction of depth and width of the features present in the image.
This work presents a method based on Computer Aided Design or CAD for facilitating the synthesis of Revolute–Revolute (R–R) dyads with adjustable moving pivots. The CAD-based method presented in this work ensures that all prescribed rigid-body parameters used to synthesize the R–R dyad satisfy particular kinematic requirements of an R–R dyad. Through the application of this CAD method, five of the six general R–R dyad constraint equations are satisfied and therefore not essential for the synthesis of the R–R dyad. By reducing the number of dyad design constraints from six to one, the user can synthesize R–R links with adjustable moving pivots for multi-phase motion and path generation applications. The example included demonstrates the use of the CAD method in the synthesis of an RRSS path generator with adjustable moving pivots. 相似文献
