Unusual Formation of ZnCo2O4 3D Hierarchical Twin Microspheres as a High‐Rate and Ultralong‐Life Lithium‐Ion Battery Anode Material

A facile two‐step strategy involving a polyol method and subsequent thermal annealing treatment is successfully developed for the large‐scale preparation of ZnCo₂O₄ various hierarchical micro/nanostructures (twin mcrospheres and microcubes) without surfactant assistance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the synthesis of ZnCo₂O₄ mesoporous twin microspheres and microcubes. More significantly, based on the effect of the reaction time on the morphology evolution of the precursor, a brand‐new crystal growth mechanism, multistep splitting then in situ dissolution recrystallization accompanied by morphology and phase change, is first proposed to understand the formation of the 3D twin microshperes, providing new research opportunity for investigating the formation of novel micro/nanostructures. When evaluated as anode materials for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs), ZnCo₂O₄ hierarchical microstructures exhibit superior capacity retention, excellent cycling stability at the 5 A g^?1 rate for 2000 cycles. Surprisingly, the ZnCo₂O₄ twin microspheres show an exceptionally high rate capability up to the 10 A g^?1 rate. It should be noted that such super‐high rate performance and cycling stability at such high charge/discharge rates are significantly higher than most work previously reported on ZnCo₂O₄ micro/nanostructures and ZnCo₂O₄‐based heterostructures. The ZnCo₂O₄ 3D hierarchical micro/nanostructures demonstrate the great potential as negative electrode materials for high‐performance LIBs.

Particle on Bump (POB) technique for ultra-fine pitch chip on glass (COG) applications by conductive particles and adhesives

Chip on glass (COG) technology is widely used in liquid crystal display (LCD) modules for connecting driver ICs to the displays especially for middle and small size panels. The most common COG technology currently used in display applications is based on anisotropic conductive films (ACF). As the increasing demand in higher resolution and cost reduction, the bump pitch of the driver ICs becomes finer and finer. With the reduction of bump pitch, the current ACF based COG technology is confronted with two issues: one is the increase of the chances of open circuit; the other is the increase of the chances of forming shorts. A new approach for ultra-fine pitch chip on glass (COG) bonding, named ”Particle on Bump (POB)”, is proposed in this paper. In this technique, conductive particles are planted on the top surface of bumps of a driver IC through Au–Sn intermetallic connection. The driver IC is then assembled on the glass substrate of a LCD panel with an insulated adhesive by thermal press. The new method ensures that electrical connections are established only between bumps and corresponding pads. The Au–Sn reflow process for particle planting and corresponding COG bonding process were investigated in detail. The results showed that reliable connections were formed between particles and bumps through an Au–Sn intermetallic layer and final COG interconnections thus formed performed well in reliability tests. It is concluded that the POB technique overcomes the shortcomings of current ACF technique and has good potential to provide a viable ultra-fine pitch flip chip on glass solution for display applications.     

Chromosome image enhancement using multiscale differential operators

Chromosome banding patterns are very important features for karyotyping, based on which cytogenetic diagnosis procedures are conducted. Due to cell culture, staining, and imaging conditions, image enhancement is a desirable preprocessing step before performing chromosome classification. In this paper, we apply a family of differential wavelet transforms (Wang and Lee, 1998), (Wang, 1999) for this purpose. The proposed differential filters facilitate the extraction of multiscale geometric features of chromosome images. Moreover, desirable fast computation can be realized. We study the behavior of both banding edge pattern and noise in the wavelet transform domain. Based on the fact that image geometrical features like edges are correlated across different scales in the wavelet representation, a multiscale point-wise product (MPP) is used to characterize the correlation of the image features in the scale-space. A novel algorithm is proposed for the enhancement of banding patterns in a chromosome image. In order to compare objectively the performance of the proposed algorithm against several existing image-enhancement techniques, a quantitative criteria, the contrast improvement ratio (CIR), has been adopted to evaluate the enhancement results. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method consistently outperforms existing techniques in terms of the CIR measure, as well as in visual effect. The effect of enhancement on cytogenetic diagnosis is further investigated by classification tests conducted prior to and following the chromosome image enhancement. In comparison with conventional techniques, the proposed method leads to better classification results, thereby benefiting the subsequent cytogenetic diagnosis.     

Achieving fast and bandwidth-efficient shared-path protection

Dynamic provisioning of restorable bandwidth guaranteed paths is a challenge in the design of broad-band transport networks, especially next-generation optical networks. A common approach is called (failure-independent) path protection, whereby for every mission-critical active path to be established, a link (or node) disjoint backup path (BP) is also established. To optimize network resource utilization, shared path protection should be adopted, which often allows a new BP to share the bandwidth allocated to some existing BPs. However, it usually leads the backup paths to use too many links, with zero cost in term of additional backup bandwidth, along its route. It will violate the restoration time guarantee. In this paper, we propose novel integer linear programming (ILP) formulations by introducing two parameters (/spl epsi/ and /spl mu/) in both the sharing with complete information (SCI) scheme and the distributed partial information management (DPIM) scheme. Our results show that the proposed ILP formulations can not only improve the network resource utilization effectively, but also keep the BPs as short as possible.     

Secure and efficient anonymous authentication scheme for three-tier mobile healthcare systems with wearable sensors

The mobility and openness of wireless communication technologies make Mobile Healthcare Systems (mHealth) potentially exposed to a number of potential attacks, which significantly undermines their utility and impedes their widespread deployment. Attackers and criminals, even without knowing the context of the transmitted data, with simple eavesdropping on the wireless links, may benefit a lot from linking activities to the identities of patient’s sensors and medical staff members. These vulnerabilities apply to all tiers of the mHealth system. A new anonymous mutual authentication scheme for three-tier mobile healthcare systems with wearable sensors is proposed in this paper. Our scheme consists of three protocols: Protocol-1 allows the anonymous authentication nodes (mobile users and controller nodes) and the HSP medical server in the third tier, while Protocol-2 realizes the anonymous authentication between mobile users and controller nodes in the second tier, and Protocol-3 achieves the anonymous authentication between controller nodes and the wearable body sensors in the first tier. In the design of our protocols, the variation in the resource constraints of the different nodes in the mHealth system are taken into consideration so that our protocols make a better trade-off among security, efficiency and practicality. The security of our protocols are analyzed through rigorous formal proofs using BAN logic tool and informal discussions of security features, possible attacks and countermeasures. Besides, the efficiency of our protocols are concretely evaluated and compared with related schemes. The comparisons show that our scheme outperforms the previous schemes and provides more complete and integrated anonymous authentication services. Finally, the security of our protocols are evaluated by using the Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications and the SPAN animator software. The simulation results show that our scheme is secure and satisfy all the specified privacy and authentication goals.
