Figure of merit for environmental SEM and its implications

A recently introduced figure of merit for environmental and low vacuum scanning electron microscopes has now been computed in the full operational pressure range for one commercial instrument. The direct simulation Monte Carlo method has been used in lieu of experimental measurements. The theory of this figure of merit is further consolidated. It is shown that a thin pressure limiting aperture can indeed be used as an optimum reference system for all instruments employing differential pumping in the transfer of an electron beam from high vacuum to high pressure. The implications of the results obtained are discussed both in relation to existing commercial instruments and associated literature to pave the way for future progress in the field.     

Communication controller and control unit design for Qi wireless power transfer

Qi, the wireless power standard, has been proposed to allow low power systems to receive power through wireless inductive power transfer. The standard outlines the essential, desired and optional requirements for developing the wireless power transfer platform. In this paper, we present the design and implementation results of communication controller for guided positioning single transmitter–single receiver wireless power transfer platform. Apart from the basic design, additional processing and data storage capability is introduced to make the design adaptive in terms of response time and the size of control data transfer. The method of estimating the amount of power transfer is modified to reduce design complexity and internal power consumption of power transmitter and receiver. The implementation results help to access the ratio of power transferred to resource utilization and the ratio of power transferred to power consumed in simplistic wireless power transfer platform.     

Parametric modeling of microwave passive components using combined neural networks and transfer functions in the time and frequency

A novel parametric modeling technique is proposed to develop combined neural network and transfer function models for both time and frequency (TF) domain applications of passive components, where the neural network is trained to map geometrical variables to the coefficients of transfer functions. Built on our previous work, a new order‐changing module is developed to enforce stability of transfer functions and simultaneously guarantee continuity of coefficients. A constrained optimization strategy is introduced to enforce passivity of transfer functions through a neural network training process. A general equivalent circuit for two‐port passive components is generated directly from coefficients of arbitrary‐order transfer functions. Once trained, the parametric model can provide accurate and fast prediction of the electromagnetic behavior of passive components with geometrical parameters as variables. Compared to our previous work, the proposed method enables models to work well in the time domain providing good accuracy in challenging modeling applications. Two parametric modeling examples of spiral inductors and interdigital capacitors, and their application in both time and frequency domain simulations of a power amplifier are examined to demonstrate the validity of the proposed technique. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

噪声信道下输出耦合复杂动态网络的状态估计

文中研究了一类带有噪声的复杂动态网络的状态估计问题,不同于现有的根据节点的状态变量构造观测器的方法,文中利用节点的输出变量构造观测器,并基于积分控制的思想提出了一种估计网络状态的新方案。根据李雅普诺夫稳定性判据,所提出的构思的可行性得到了论证,并且以线性矩阵不等式的形式给出了状态估计的充分条件。分别以无标度网络和小世界网络为模型,以Lorenz混沌映射作为复杂网络的节点进行数值化仿真。研究表明,这种方法能够使系统状态的估计误差收敛于0,仿真的结果进一步证明了文中所提方案的有效性。     

Path planning in complex 3D environments using a probabilistic roadmap method

This paper presents a 3D path planning algorithm for an unmanned aerial vehicle （UAV） in complex environments. In this algorithm, the environments are divided into voxels by octree algorithm. In order to satisfy the safety requirement of the UAV, free space is represented by free voxels, which have enough space margin for the UAV to pass through. A bounding box array is created in the whole 3D space to evaluate the free voxel connectivity. The probabilistic roadmap method （PRM） is improved by random sampling in the bounding box array to ensure a more efficient distribution of roadmap nodes in 3D space. According to the connectivity evaluation, the roadmap is used to plan a feasible path by using A＊ algorithm. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm is valid in complex 3D environments.
