Capture of gaseous elemental mercury from flue gas using a magnetic and sulfur poisoning resistant sorbent Mn/γ-Fe2O3 at lower temperatures

A series of Mn/γ-Fe(2)O(3) were synthesized to capture elemental mercury from the flue gas. Mn(4+) cations and cation vacancies on the surface played important roles on elemental mercury capture by Mn/γ-Fe(2)O(3). Furthermore, the reaction route of elemental mercury oxidization was dependent on the ratio of Mn(4+) cations to cation vacancies. As a result, the capacities of 15%-Mn/γ-Fe(2)O(3)-250 for elemental mercury capture were generally higher than those of 30%-Mn/γ-Fe(2)O(3)-400. SO(2) mainly reacted with ≡Fe(III)-OH and only a small amount of ≡Mn(4+) reacted with SO(2), so the presence of a high concentration of SO(2) resulted in an insignificant effect on elemental mercury capture by 15%-Mn/γ-Fe(2)O(3)-250 at lower temperatures. The capacities of 15%-Mn/γ-Fe(2)O(3)-250 for elemental mercury capture in the presence of 2.8 g N m(-3) of SO(2) were more than 2.2 mg g(-1) at <200°C. Meanwhile, 15%-Mn/γ-Fe(2)O(3)-250 can be separated from the fly ash using magnetic separation, leaving the fly ash essentially free of sorbent and adsorbed HgO. Therefore, 15% Mn/γ-Fe(2)O(3)-250 may be a promising sorbent for elemental mercury capture.     

Speed-up Technique for a Local Automatic Colour Equalization Model

In this paper we propose a speed‐up technique for a local automatic colour equalization operator derived from a model of the human vision system. This method is characterized by local and global filtering effects, that simultaneously achieve different equalization tasks e.g. performing colour and lightness constancy, realizing dynamic image data driven stretching, controlling the contrast. We describe a way to quickly create a filtering mapping function to perform the global component of the mapping. This method is based on singular value decomposition (SVD) applied to sampled and filtered points in the input image. Then, the local information is added computing the basic algorithm on a neighbourhood of each input pixel. A slight quality loss is the price that we have to pay for a speed‐up of more than two orders of magnitude of the basic algorithm. We present the results on several images and discuss the efficiency and the drawbacks of the speed‐up technique.     

非间断软件回归测试模型研究

软件测试是开发过程的重要环节。回归错误在开发过程中严重影响着开发的效率,其隐匿特性也使得测试比较困难。因此,本文提出一种非间断测试的模型,用于加强对回归错误的管理,节约不必要的无谓工作时间,提高软件开发的效率。这种模型对用户开发行为进行模拟和推测,在经过大量的数据训练后,寻找测试行为、错误发生等开发动作的捕获点,从而找到最佳的测试策略。在不影响开发人员工作的前提下,可对当前最新的代码进行测试,最大程度上避免回归错误长期隐藏在前期代码中,保持整个开发过程的稳步前进。

Effect of bed height on the carbon dioxide capture by carbonation/regeneration cyclic operations using dry potassium-based sorbents

The effect of bed height on CO₂ capture was investigated by carbonation/regeneration cyclic operations using a bubbling fluidized bed reactor. We used a potassium-based solid sorbent, SorbKX35T5 which was manufactured by the Korea Electric Power Research Institute. The sorbent consists of 35% K₂CO₃ for absorption and 65% supporters for mechanical strength. We used a fluidized bed reactor with an inner diameter of 0.05 m and a height of 0.8 m which was made of quartz and placed inside of a furnace. The operating temperatures were fixed at 70 °C and 150 °C for carbonation and regeneration, respectively. The carbonation/regeneration cyclic operations were performed three times at four different L/D (length vs diameter) ratios such as one, two, three, and four. The amount of CO₂ captured was the most when L/D ratio was one, while the period of maintaining 100% CO₂ removal was the longest as 6 minutes when L/D ratio was three. At each cycle, CO₂ sorption capacity (g CO₂/g sorbent) was decreased as L/D ratio was increased. The results obtained in this study can be applied to design and operate a large scale CO₂ capture process composed of two fluidized bed reactors. This work was presented at the 7 ^th China-Korea Workshop on Clean Energy Technology held at Taiyuan, Shanxi, China, June 26–28, 2008.     

Effect of composition and promoters in Au/TS-1 catalysts for direct propylene epoxidation using H2 and O2

A series of Au/titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) catalysts with different Si/Ti ratios and promoted with alkali and alkaline earth cations were prepared by deposition–precipitation (DP) and tested for direct propylene epoxidation. It was found that the gold loading and catalytic activity was highly dependent on the pH of the DP synthesis solution and the final composition of the catalyst. Addition of Group 1 metals such as K or Cs had little effect on the gold content, but increased activity, while Group 2 metals such as Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba increased both the gold content and the catalytic activity. The highest improvement was provided by a Mg promoted catalyst, which at 443 K and 0.1 MPa with a H₂/O₂/C₃H₆/Ar = 1/1/1/7 feed mixture gave a propylene oxide (PO) formation rate of 88 gPO h⁻¹ kg_cat⁻¹, compared to 57 gPO h⁻¹ kg_cat⁻¹ for an unpromoted catalyst, corresponding to a 50% enhancement of activity. Ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD) measurements indicated little change in adsorption amount with promotion indicating that the yield increase was not due to the elimination of acidic sites on the catalyst. Instead, the improved catalytic performance was ascribed to increased Au capture efficiency and dispersion by the catalyst. The effect of Si/Ti ratio, pH of synthesis, and the promoter ions on the gold content could be understood from their effect on the surface charge of the support.     

Low Capture Switching Activity Test Generation for Reducing IR-Drop in At-Speed Scan Testing

At-speed scan testing, based on ATPG and ATE, is indispensable to guarantee timing-related test quality in the DSM era. However, at-speed scan testing may incur yield loss due to excessive IR-drop caused by high test (shift & capture) switching activity. This paper discusses the mechanism of circuit malfunction due to IR-drop, and summarizes general approaches to reducing switching activity, by which highlights the problem of current solutions, i.e. only reducing switching activity for one capture while the widely used at-speed scan testing based on the launch-off-capture scheme uses two captures. This paper then proposes a novel X-filling method, called double-capture (DC) X-filling, for generating test vectors with low and balanced capture switching activity for two captures. Applicable to dynamic & static compaction in any ATPG system, DC X-filling can reduce IR-drop, and thus yield loss, without any circuit/clock modification, timing/circuit overhead, fault coverage loss, and additional design effort.

Ergonomic postural assessment using a new open-source human pose estimation technology (OpenPose)

Observational ergonomic postural assessment methods have been commonly used to evaluate the risks of musculoskeletal disorders. Researchers have proposed semi-automatic methods using Kinect, known for limitations with body occlusions and non-frontal tracking. Meanwhile, new human pose estimation methods have been actively developed, and a popular open-source technology is OpenPose. This study aims to propose the OpenPose-based system for computing joint angles and RULA/REBA scores and validate against the reference motion capture system, and compare its performance to the Kinect-based system. Recordings of 10 participants performing 12 experimental tasks under different conditions: with/without body occlusions and tracked from frontal/non-frontal views were analyzed. OpenPose showed good performance under all task conditions, whereas Kinect performed significantly worse than OpenPose especially at cases with body occlusions or non-frontal tracking. The findings suggested that OpenPose could be a promising technology to measure joint angles and conduct semi-automatic ergonomic postural assessments in the real workspace where the conditions are often non-ideal.
