太赫兹网络中基于中继协作转发的高效双信道MAC协议

针对现有多输入多输出(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output, MIMO)太赫兹通信网络双信道MAC协议存在波束重叠干扰和冗余控制开销等问题,提出了一种太赫兹网络中基于中继协作转发的双信道MAC协议(High Efficiency Dual channel MAC Protocol Based on Relay Cooperative Forwarding in Terahertz Networks, HE-RCFMAC)。HE-RCFMAC协议包含动态帧聚合、基于位置信息自适应协作转发和精简RTS(Request To Send)/CTS(Clear To Send)帧三种机制。经三种机制处理后,可有效提升信道利用率,同时减小控制开销,提高数据传输成功率和整体网络吞吐量。仿真结果表明,所提协议与现有的MIMO太赫兹双信道MAC协议相比,MAC层吞吐量、数据传输成功率和信道利用率分别提升了12.82%、12.28%和8.73%,证明了所提协议的有效性。     

孪生网络框架下融合显著性和干扰在线学习的航拍目标跟踪算法

针对一般跟踪算法不能很好地解决航拍视频下目标分辨率低、视场大、视角变化多等特殊难点,该文提出一种融合目标显著性和在线学习干扰因子的无人机(UAV)跟踪算法.通用模型预训练的深层特征无法有效地识别航拍目标,该文跟踪算法能根据反向传播梯度识别每个卷积滤波器的重要性来更好地选择目标显著性特征,以此凸显航拍目标特性.另外充分利用连续视频丰富的上下文信息,通过引导目标外观模型与当前帧尽可能相似地来在线学习动态目标的干扰因子,从而实现可靠的自适应匹配跟踪.实验证明:该算法在跟踪难点更多的UAV123数据集上跟踪成功率和准确率分别比孪生网络基准算法高5.3%和3.6%,同时速度达到平均28.7帧/s,基本满足航拍目标跟踪准确性和实时性需求.     

基于曲率和的主动声呐干涉条纹特征表征方法

干涉条纹特征是主动声呐目标识别所依据的重要特征之一。在浅水域环境中,声波能量传播特性较为复杂,信号会经过发射源到目标以及目标到接收器这2条不同的路径,目标的散射特性在声波的入射模式和散射模式之间相互作用,使得主动声呐干涉条纹呈现弯曲的结构。为对干涉条纹特征进行表征,提出一种基于曲率和的声呐特征提取方法。根据浅海声场主动声呐频率-距离干涉条纹图得到一段区间内的干涉条纹曲线散点曲率值,利用曲率求和的方法刻画条纹的弯曲程度,进而表征这一区间内的条纹特征。在理想波导环境下计算刚性球体目标在不同频率段下的曲率特征,通过统计平均值的方式得到平均曲率和为0.6左右,从特征表征结果可以看出,曲率和可通过统计离散点曲率强度描述干涉条纹特征,且在同一环境条件下,发射频率越大时曲率和强度越小。根据实测数据进行计算得到曲率和为0.512,实验与理论结果较为吻合,表明通过该方法可以获取主动声呐干涉条纹特征,进而实现目标识别和探测。     

Measuring Mental Workload Using ERPs Based on FIR,ICA, and MARA

Mental workload is considered to be strongly linked to human performance, and the ability to measure it accurately is key for balancing human health and work. In this study, brain signals were elicited by mental arithmetic tasks of varying difficulty to stimulate different levels of mental workload. In addition, a finite impulse response (FIR) filter, independent component analysis (ICA), and multiple artifact rejection algorithms (MARAs) were used to filter event-related potentials (ERPs). Then, the data consisting of ERPs, subjective ratings of mental workload, and task performance, were analyzed through the use of variance and Spearman’s correlation during a simulated computer task. We found that participants responded faster and performed better in the easy task condition, followed by the medium and high-difficulty conditions, which verifies the validity of the ERP filtering. Moreover, larger P2 and P3 waveforms were evoked as the task difficulty increased, and a higher task difficulty elicited a more enhanced N300. Correlation analysis revealed a negative relationship between the amplitude of P3 and the subjective ratings, and a positive relationship between the P3 amplitude and accuracy. The results presented in this paper demonstrate that a combination of FIR, ICA, and MARA methods can filter ERPs in the non-invasive real-time measurement of workload. Additionally, frontocentral P2, N3, and parietal P3 components showed differences between genders. The proposed measurement of mental workload can be useful for real-time identification of mental states and can be applied to human–computer interaction in the future.     

Compact,ultra-low vibration,closed-cycle helium recycler for uninterrupted operation of MEG with SQUID magnetometers

A closed-cycle helium recycler was developed for continuous uninterrupted operation for magnetometer-based whole-head magnetoencephalography (MEG) systems. The recycler consists of a two stage 4 K pulse-tube cryocooler and is mounted on the roof of a magnetically shielded room (MSR). A flexible liquid helium (LHe) return line on the recycler is inserted into the fill port of the MEG system in the MSR through a slotted opening in the ceiling. The helium vapor is captured through a line that returns the gas to the top of the recycler assembly. A high-purity helium gas cylinder connected to the recycler assembly supplies the gas, which, after it is liquefied, increases the level of LHe in the MEG system during the start-up phase. No storage tank for evaporated helium gas nor a helium gas purifier is used. The recycler is capable of liquefying helium with a rate of ∼17 L/d after precooling the MEG system. It has provided a fully maintenance-free operation under computer control for 7 months without refill of helium. Although the recycler is used for single-orientation operation at this initial testing site, it is designed to operate at ±20° orientations, allowing the MEG system to be tilted for supine and reclining positions. Vibration of the recycler is dampened to an ultra-low level by using several vibration isolation methods, which enables uninterrupted operation during MEG measurements. Recyclers similar to this system may be quite useful even for MEG systems with 100% magnetometers.     

对无临近点信息干涉条纹的参数估计

用广义radon变换可以从运动目标产生的干涉条纹中估计出目标的运动参数和波导不变量。但是当干涉条纹中没有出现临近点时,用此方法估计不出真实值。为了解决此问题,提出了一种新的估计方法。主要过程是先从时频图中提取出干涉条纹轨迹,再去搜索与此轨迹误差最小的最优曲线,此曲线的参数值代表目标的运动参数和波导不变量。仿真和海试结果表明,在干涉条纹无临近点信息情况下,用广义radon变换估计的参数值与真实值偏差很大,但是文中提出的方法仍能估计出较准确的结果。     

Experimental Study on Tunable Electromagnetic Shielding by Microlattice Materials with Organized Microstructures

Porous metal materials are widely used for preventing electromagnetic interference, control of heat conduction and impact absorbing. However, a limitation associated with porous metals is that their irregular and non‐uniformal microstructures make their functions non‐desirably tunable. In this report, the authors propose a microlattice material with precisely controlled microstructures for electromagnetic (EM) shielding. An effective medium model taking into account of the EM stimulated surface current of the metal wires is developed to characterize the EM shielding effect of the microlattice metal. In addition, a compact and integrated measuring device is constructed by using a 3D printing method for experimental verification. The theoretical predictions agree well with the experimental measurement. The influence of the geometrical parameters of the microlattice metals on EM shielding effect is also studied. The theoretical model and the compact measuring system provide robust and efficient tools for the design of EM shielding materials.

     

Preparation of Porous Silver Nanowires-Melamine Formaldehyde Hybrid Composite Materials and Their Electromagnetic Shielding and Flame-Retardant Properties

Along with the booming development of communication technology and electronic equipment, higher requirements of flame-retardant and EMI shielding performances for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials are put forward. Herein, the ultralight and porous silver nanowires (AgNWs)-melamine formaldehyde (MF) hybrid composite with unique micro-/nanostructure is developed by a facile dip-coating method, which uses the AgNWs as 1D conductive coating and MF foam (MF foam) as 3D skeleton template. Benefiting from the unique porous micro-/nanostructure, the resultant hybrid composite displays low density, excellent EMI shielding performances, and superior flame-retardant property. The EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) and specific EMI SE (SSEt) of the hybrid composite in X-band (8.2–12.4 GHz) can be up to 77 dB and 26971.4 dB cm⁻² g⁻¹, respectively. At the same time, the hybrid composite also passes the vertical burning test and shows an increased LOI value of 40.6%. The combination of flame-retardant and EMI shielding performances for EMI shielding materials makes the AgNWs-MF hybrid composite great application potential in civil and military fields. This work provides a new guide for the design of multifunctional high-performance EMI shielding materials.
