The Effect of Pulsed Sliding Surface Discharges on Supersonic Airflow past a Thin Wedge in Shock Tube

The influence of ~300-ns pulsed sliding surface discharges on supersonic airflow with M = 1.2–1.5 past a thin wedge has been studied in a shock tube at 0.12–0.14 kg/m³ gas density. It is established that inhomogeneity of the airflow-density field near the wedge leads to changes in the discharge current geometry and the structure of surface-discharge glow. The dynamics of discharge-initiated shock waves disturbing the quasi-stationary flow past the wedge was studied by the method of shadow visualization. It is shown that shock waves from intense surface-discharge channels in front of the wedge and behind its rear part can produce nonstationary action on the flow past the wedge surface, which lasts for up to 120 μs after the discharge pulse.

Integrated-optic array illuminator: a new design for guided-wave optical interconnections

An integrated array illuminator can be used not only as an opticalpower distributor for an array of guided-wave optic devices but also asa key element for guided-wave optical interconnections. We presenta new design for an integrated-optic array illuminator with focusingwaveguide diffractive doublet arrays. This integrated arrayilluminator allows independent optimizations of efficient and uniformoptical power distribution and focusing performance. Furthermore, the device can be fabricated with all-optical lithographic technologyand hence has the advantages of mass production with lowcost.     

Fabrication of large-volume microfluidic chamber embedded in glass using three-dimensional femtosecond laser micromachining

We report on fabrication of large-volume, square-shaped microfluidic chamber embedded in glass by scanning a tightly focused femtosecond laser beam inside a porous glass immersed in water. After the hollow structure is created in the porous glass substrate, the fabricated glass sample is post-annealed at 1,050°C during which it can be sintered into a compact glass. By the use of this technique, a 1 mm × 1 mm × 100 μm microchamber connected to four microfluidic channels is created inside the transparent glass substrate, showing that our technique allows for fabrication of not only thin channel structures with arbitrary lengths and configurations, but also hollow structures with infinitely large sizes.     

Robust stability for uncertain genetic regulatory networks with interval time-varying delays

This paper addresses the problem of robust stability of uncertain genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with interval time-varying delays. We derive some new delay-range-dependent and delay-derivative-dependent/independent stability criteria by employing some free-weighting matrices and linear matrix inequalities. In our analysis, we carefully consider the relationship between the time-varying state delays and their bounds when calculating the upper bound of the derivative of Lyapunov functional. We hence show that, the rigorous requirement of other literatures that the time-derivatives of time-varying delays must be smaller than one is abandoned in the proposed scheme. The new criteria are applicable to both fast and slow time-varying delays. Finally, four numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and the less conservativeness of the developed results.
