We present a new scheme for visibly-opaque but near-infrared-transmitting filters involving 7 layers based on one-dimensional ternary photonic crystals, with capabilities in reaching nearly 100% transmission efficiency in the near-infrared region. Different decorative reflection colors can be created by adding additional three layers while maintaining the near-infrared transmission performance. In addition, our proposed structural colors show great angular insensitivity up to ±60° for both transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarizations, which are highly desired in various fields. The facile strategy described here involves a simple deposition method for the fabrication, thereby having great potential in diverse applications such as image sensors, anti-counterfeit tag, and optical measurement systems.
The homogenization of Ni in powder metal (PM) steel compacts is usually difficult even after high-temperature sintering at
1250°C. An earlier study by the authors demonstrated that this problem can be alleviated through the addition of 0.5 wt pct
Cr in the form of stainless steel powders. To further improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ni-containing
PM steels and to understand the mechanisms, an attempt was made in this study using the Fe-3Cr-0.5Mo prealloyed powder as
the base material. The results showed that the distribution of the Ni additives was significantly improved. As a result, the
tensile strength of the Fe-3Cr-0.5Mo-4Ni-0.5C compact sintered at 1250°C reached 1323 MPa. The elongation was higher than
1 pct. These sinter-hardened properties, which were attained using a slow furnace cooling rate, were comparable to those of
the sinter-hardened alloys reported in the literature using accelerated cooling and were equivalent to those of the best quenched-and-tempered
alloys registered in the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) standards. These improvements were attributed to the positive
effect of Cr addition on alloy homogenization due to the reduction of the repelling effect between Ni and C, as was demonstrated
through the thermodynamic analysis using the Thermo-Calc program. 相似文献
This paper presents a novel power-driven multiplication instruction-set design method for application-specific instruction-set processors (ASIPs). Based on a dual-and-configurable-multiplier structure, our proposed method devises a multiplication instruction set for low-power ASIPs. Our method exploits the execution sequences of multiplication instructions and effective bit widths of variables to reduce power consumed by redundant multiplication bits while minimizing the multiplication execution time. Experimental results on a set of DSP programs demonstrate that our proposed method achieves significant power reduction (up to 18.53%) and execution time improvement (up to 10.43%) with 18% area overhead. 相似文献
A multi-level attention framework for tracking and segmentation of humans and objects under complex occlusions is investigated,
featuring an effective probabilistic appearance-based technique for pixel reclassification during object grouping and splitting.
A novel ’spatial-depth affinity metric’ is introduced in the conventional likelihood function, utilising information of both
spatial locations of pixels and dynamic depth ordering of the component objects in grouping. Depth ordering estimation is
achieved through a combination of top-down and bottom-up approach. Experiments on some realworld difficult scenarios of low
quality and highly compressed videos demonstrate the very promising results achieved. 相似文献
