Least-Square Collaborative Beamforming Linear Array for Steering Capability in Green Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper presents a collaborative beamforming (CB) technique to organize the sensor node's location in a linear array for green wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. In this method, only selected clusters and active CB nodes are needed each time to perform CB in WSNs. The proposed least-square linear array (LSLA) manages to select nodes to perform as a linear antenna array (LAA), which is similar to and as outstanding as the conventional uniform linear array (ULA). The LSLA technique is also able to solve positioning error problems that exist in the random nodes deployment. The beampattern fluctuations have been analyzed due to the random positions of sensor nodes. Performances in terms of normalized power gains are given. It is demonstrated by a simulation that the proposed technique gives similar performances to the conventional ULA and at the same time exhibits lower complexity.     

Metal Organic Framework Crystals in Mixed‐Matrix Membranes: Impact of the Filler Morphology on the Gas Separation Performance

Mixed‐matrix membranes comprising NH₂‐MIL‐53(Al) and Matrimid or 6FDA‐DAM have been investigated. The metal organic framework (MOF) loading has been varied between 5 and 20 wt%, while NH₂‐MIL‐53(Al) with three different morphologies, nanoparticles, nanorods, and microneedles has been dispersed in Matrimid. The synthesized membranes have been tested in the separation of CO₂ from CH₄ in an equimolar mixture. At 3 bar and 298 K for 8 wt% MOF loading, incorporation of NH₂‐MIL‐53(Al) nanoparticles leads to the largest improvement compared to nanorods and microneedles. The incorporation of the best performing filler, i.e., NH₂‐MIL‐53(Al) nanoparticles, into the highly permeable 6FDA‐DAM has a larger effect, and the CO₂ permeability increases up to 85% with slightly lower selectivities for 20 wt% MOF loading. Specifically, these membranes have a permeability of 660 Barrer with a CO₂/CH₄ separation factor of 28, leading to a performance very close to the Robeson limit of 2008. Furthermore, a new non‐destructive technique based on Raman spectroscopy mapping is introduced to assess the homogeneity of the filler dispersion in the polymer matrix. The MOF contribution can be calculated by modeling the spectra. The determined homogeneity of the MOF filler distribution in the polymer is confirmed by focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy analysis.     

Hierarchical Order Statistics Filtering for Fast Bi‐Dimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition

A hierarchical approach for fast bi‐dimensional empirical mode decomposition (B‐EMD) is proposed. The presented approach utilizes an efficient window size determination scheme that enables the multi‐level computation of the order statistics filter (OSF). Our detailed experiments show that the proposed OSF computation approach allows a significantly faster computation of an EMD without degrading the decomposition accuracy.

SELP语音编码模型的抗误码改进方案

受信道误码影响时,基于SELP模型的声码器合成语音出现大量刺耳的尖锐声,严重降低语音质量。研究发现,高能量的语音信号经分析滤波器产生余量信号,能量可能明显降低,量化值较小。信道误码可能使该参数在合成端出错明显增大,再经过合成滤波器后产生尖锐声。将能量参数从原始语音信号中提取,并改进合成算法中能量参数的用法。能量较高的语音信号量化值较大,发生误码时明显增大的可能性降低,能削弱尖锐刺耳声。

Plasma Passivation Etching for HgCdTe

Inductively coupled plasmas (ICP) are the high-density plasmas of choice for the processing of HgCdTe and related compounds. Most dry plasma process works have been performed on HgCdTe for pixel delineation and the p-to-n-type conversion of HgCdTe. We would like to use the advantages of “dry” plasma processing to perform passivation etching of HgCdTe. Plasma processing promises the ability to create small vias, 2 μm or less with excellent uniformity across a wafer, good run-to-run uniformity, and good etch rate control. In this study we developed processes to controllably etch CdTe, the most common passivation material used for photovoltaic-based HgCdTe devices. We created a process based on xenon gas that allows for the slow controllable CdTe etch at only 0.035 μm/min, with smooth morphology and rounded corners to promote further processing.
