Photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by benzophenone/aromatic tertiary amines

Summary The photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by benzophenone-tertiary aromatic amines was studied under irradiation at 365 nm. The initiating amino radicals were investigated with combined ESR and spin-trapping method. The rate of polymerization for different amines was found in the sequence of p-hydroxymethyl-N,N-dimethylaniline>N,N-dimmethyltoluidine>N,N-dimethylaniline>p-methyl-N,N-dihydroxyethylaniline. The influence of diphenylmethanol on the polymerization reveals the incapacity of the benzophenone ketyl radical to initiate, while the amino end-group was detected in the polymers. This end-group can interact with benzophenone again, leading to initiate further polymerization to give a copolymer.     

Low-Temperature Dielectric Properties of Ceramic Potassium Tantalate (KTaO3)

Dielectric properties of KTaO₃ ceramic fabricated by both conventional sintering and sintering followed by isostatic hot pressing (HIP) were measured at T =4.2 to 300 K over a frequency range from 400 Hz to 4 MHz. The weak field response shows a faint peak near 10 K which has a clear relaxation character, as in high-purity single crystals. The general response is well reproduced by the Barrett function, but additional polarizability with relaxation character is also in evidence at higher temperatures. No dielectric hysteresis was observed at high fields for cycling frequencies down to 0.04 Hz anywhere in the temperature range.     

Tungsten Oxide Nanorods Array and Nanobundle Prepared by Using Chemical Vapor Deposition Technique

Tungsten oxide (WO₃) nanorods array prepared using chemical vapor deposition techniques was studied. The influence of oxygen gas concentration on the nanoscale tungsten oxide structure was observed; it was responsible for the stoichiometric and morphology variation from nanoscale particle to nanorods array. Experimental results also indicated that the deposition temperature was highly related to the morphology; the chemical structure, however, was stable. The evolution of the crystalline structure and surface morphology was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectra and X-ray diffraction approaches. The stoichiometric variation was indicated by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.     

Derivation and analysis of a filtered backprojection algorithm for cone beam projection data

The authors address the problem of three-dimensional image reconstruction from cone beam projections. Modifying a result due to A.A. Kirillov (Soviet Math. Dokl., vol. 2, p.268-9, 1961), the authors derive an inversion formula for the case where the cone vertices form an unbounded curve. For the special case in which the cone vertices form a circle, an approximate reconstruction formula is developed and shown to be essentially equivalent to the practical cone-beam algorithm of L.A. Feldkamp et al. (1984). For this approximate inverse, the authors derive the resulting spatially varying point spread function, examine the effect of bandlimiting due to sampling, and compare the resulting image quality as a function of the radius of the circle formed by the cone vertices.     

Cation interdiffusion between thick film of YBa2Cu3O7-δ and ceramic substrate

Thick films of superconducting oxides, YBa₂Cu₃O_7-, were successfully made by conventional screen-printing technology on Al₂O₃, MgO, and ZrO₂ substrates. Interdiffusion between the superconductive film and substrate was investigated using analytical electron microscopy. The results indicate that MgO and ZrO₂ are superior to Al₂O₃ for substrate materials.     

Design of the low power wake-up receiver for internet of things communication

A wake-up receiver with high energy efficiency and low power consumption is proposed for solving the power consuming problems of wireless nodes communication in the Internet of Things. The proposed wake-up receiver based on the wake-up mechanism can effectively schedule the network nodes communication, and use the simple envelope detection structure to achieve frequency down-conversion, which can flexibly manage energy and reduce power consumption. Based on UMC 65nm CMOS process technology, the wake-up receiver is designed and simulated. The results show that it can achieve S₁₁ of -21dBm and a sensitivity of -75dBm at a data rate of 1Mb/s, when operating at the central frequency of 780MHz and input signal adopting an on-off keying (OOK) modulation, and the power consumption is 82μW at 1.2V voltage supply.

On the Survivability of Self-repairing Control System for a Hybrid Underwater Vehicle

A hybrid remotely operated underwater vehicle （HROV） capable of working to the full ocean depth has been developed. In order for the vehicle to achieve a certain survivability level, a self-repairing control system （SRCS） has been designed. It consists of two basic technologies, fault diagnosis and isolation （FDI） and reconfigurable control. For F＇DI, a model-based hierarchical fault diagnosis system is designed for the HROV. Then, control strategies which reconfigure the control system at intervals according to information from the FDI system are presented. Combining the two technologies, it can obtain the fundamental frame of SRCS for the HROV. Considering the hazardous underwater environment at the limiting depth and the hybrid operating modes, an assessment of the HROV＇ s survivability is vitally needed before it enters operational service. This paper presents a new definition of survivability for underwater vehicles and develops a simple survivability model for the SRCS. As a result of survivability assessment for the SRCS, we are able to figure out the survivability of SRCS and make further optimization about it. The methodology developed herein is also applicable to other types of underwater vehicles.
