A Novel Approach to BaTiO3-based X8R Ceramics by Calcium Borosilicate Glass Ceramic Doping

High-performance X8R dielectric materials could be sintered at 1150°C by doping calcium borosilicate (CBS) glass ceramic into the BaTiO₃-Nb₂O₅-ZnO system, with a dielectric constant greater than 1800 and a dielectric loss lower than 1.0%. The effects of CBS, Nb₂O₅, and ZnO on the dielectric properties were discussed in this article. The X8R specification was achieved with the content of CBS ≥ 4 wt.%, Nb₂O₅ ≥ 1.0 mol%, and ZnO ≤ 2.0 mol%. The sample doped with 4 wt.% CBS exhibited the highest density and lowest dielectric loss in our experiment. A reduction in grain size was observed in the specimens with 4 and 7 wt.% CBS as compared with CBS-free specimen, whereas the abnormal growth of rectangle-shaped grains took place in the 10 wt.% CBS-doped specimen. The Curie point progressively moved to higher temperatures with CBS content up to 7 wt.%. However, T _c of the sample decreased slightly in the case when 10 wt.% CBS was doped. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that the crystal structure of sintered ceramics changed from tetragonal to pseudocubic symmetry as increasing CBS content.

Radiometric normalization, compositing, and quality control forsatellite high resolution image mosaics over large areas

An objective normalization procedure has been developed to create image mosaics of radiometric equalization radiometric normalization for image mosaics (RNIM). The procedure employs a band-specific principal component analysis for overlap areas to achieve accurate and consistent radiometric transforms in each spectral band. It is demonstrated that the result of radiometric equalization is independent of the order of images to be mosaicked after the radiometric normalization adjustment is made. The selection of corresponding pixel pairs in the overlap area is controlled by using band-specific linear correlation coefficients, and the criteria for rejecting the cloudy and land-cover changed pixels. The final result is controlled quantitatively by employing the first and second principal components for the input data, which in turn depend on the selection of corresponding pixel pairs in the overlap area. In general, the radiometric resolution of input images can be conserved as long as gain ⩾1 and offset ⩾0 because of the stored format of the unsigned integer. The RNIM procedure accommodates these conditions. To take the best advantage of the data in the overlap areas, a pixel-based composite technique is employed in the production of the final mosaic. The selection of corresponding pixel pairs and the final result can be controlled and assessed with quantitative criteria. Therefore, this approach produces an objective, analyst-independent result and can be automated. The method has been successfully applied to six Landsat TM images of the BOREAS transect in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Canada     

Disturbance modeling and control design for self-servo track writing

The major disturbances in self-servo track writing are identified and modeled. Based on the disturbance models, an H/sub 2/ controller together with a feedforward compensator is designed via linear matrix inequality approach to minimize the propagation tracking error from one track to the next. Furthermore, the error propagation containment effectiveness of the optimal H/sub 2/ control is compared with that of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) and proportional-derivative (PD) feedback controls with the feedforward compensators. Our results show that the propagation tracking error is improved by 27% with the H/sub 2/ control compared with that by PID control.     

关于大角度范围内四元数与欧拉角转换的思考

在存在大角度姿态机动的场景中,航天飞行器通常采用基于姿态四元数的姿态运动模型,同时又多以欧拉角形式给定其期望姿态,因此研究四元数到欧拉角的转换关系十分必要.但是,姿态四元数与欧拉角之间并不存在一一对应的关系.以飞行器姿态为纽带,依据姿态四元数和欧拉角与飞行器姿态之间的内在关系,对各种可能出现的情形进行分析,在控制所对应的期望姿态的牵引下,确定出符合姿态控制利益的姿态四元数到欧拉角的转换关系.鉴于姿态四元数到欧拉角转换关系的复杂性,在飞行器进行大角度姿态机动控制时,建议采用基于四元数的姿态运动模型.     

Relay sensor placement in wireless sensor networks

This paper addresses the following relay sensor placement problem: given the set of duty sensors in the plane and the upper bound of the transmission range, compute the minimum number of relay sensors such that the induced topology by all sensors is globally connected. This problem is motivated by practically considering the tradeoff among performance, lifetime, and cost when designing sensor networks. In our study, this problem is modelled by a NP-hard network optimization problem named Steiner Minimum Tree with Minimum number of Steiner Points and bounded edge length (SMT-MSP). In this paper, we propose two approximate algorithms, and conduct detailed performance analysis. The first algorithm has a performance ratio of 3 and the second has a performance ratio of 2.5.

Influence of N2 and O2 annealing treatment on the optical bandgap of polycrystalline Ga2O3:Cu films

Cu-doped Ga₂O₃ thin films were deposited by electron beam evaporation with subsequent annealing at 1000 °C in N₂ and O₂ for 1 h. The influence of the annealing atmosphere on the crystal structure, surface morphology and optical properties of Ga₂O₃:Cu films was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmittance and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The optical bandgap deduced from the absorption spectrum was greater for the O₂ annealed than for N₂ annealed samples. In both cases the bandgap was wider than for bulk β-Ga₂O₃. The grain size and surface roughness were sensitive to the annealing atmosphere. Results confirmed that the annealed samples were polycrystalline β-Ga₂O₃ with some amorphous phase. We hypothesize that annealing in oxygen led to recrystallization of the Ga₂O₃:Cu film. Annealing treatment improved the crystal quality of Ga₂O₃:Cu films and the PL intensity of the samples increased.
