煤炭作为山西经济发展的支柱产业，在实现全面建设小康社会的奋斗目标过程中，要做出突出贡献，任务非常艰巨，要实现这一奋斗目标，2003年要努力做好6个方面的工作，在新型煤炭工业化道路上迈出更大步伐。     

在小型计算机上实现彩色地震剖面显示的尝试

彩色地震剖面显示是地震剖面显示技术中较为先进的一种显示方式.它具有常规黑白显示剖面所无法比拟的优点.尤其是在一些特殊处理显示的剖面(诸如三瞬剖面、虚速度测井剖面以及烃类显示剖面)中,这些剖面给人以清晰直观和一目了然的感觉.但是,目前彩色剖面在国内尚未得到普遍地应用,其原因之一是由于彩色显示处理要求计算机具有大的内存容量和高速运算等方面的性能,所以一般都是在大中型计算机上处理.而小型计算机由于内存容量和运算速度等面存在着不足,所以难以运行象现今国内所使用的UNIRAS这样庞大的系统.笔者在研究了UNIRAS系统的实现原理后,另辟蹊径,在只有32k内存容量又无虚拟存贮管理系统的TEMPUSⅡ小型计算机上,采用光栅处理技术,实现了地震剖面彩色显示,并取得了令人满意的结果.     

Effect of process parameters on impact strength of Al-7% Si alloy castings produced by VAEPC process

The castings produced by the evaporative pattern casting (EPC) process have blow holes. The blow holes in EPC castings are because of the non-escape of the gas produced as a result of burning of polystyrene pattern in the sand mold. To overcome the problem of blow holes, the EPC process is combined with the vacuum (V)- process. The vacuum applied to EPC mold draws the decomposed gases and improves the casting quality produced by the EPC process. The developed hybrid process has been termed as the vacuum assisted evaporative pattern casting (VAEPC) process. The objective of this paper to investigates the effect of process parameters, i.e, degree of vacuum, pouring temperature, grainfineness number, amplitude of vibration and time of vibration on the impact strength of Al-7% Si alloy castings in VAEPC process. In order to evaluate the effect of selected process parameters, the response surface methodology (RSM) is used to formulate a mathematical model which correlates the independent process parameters with the desired impact strength. The central composite rotatable design has been used to conduct the experiments. The results indicate that the impact strength decreases with increases in the grainfineness number and pouring temperature. Whereas, it has an inverse relationship with amplitude of vibration, time of vibration and degree of vacuum. The best value of impact strength (2.34 N/mm²) has been obtained at 400 mm Hg degree of vacuum imposed, 650°C as pouring temperature, 60 as sand grainfineness number, 460 μm as amplitude of vibration, and 70 s as time of vibration.     

Similarity retrieval of iconic image database

The perception of spatial relationships among objects in a picture is one of the important selection criteria to discriminate and retrieve the images in an iconic image database system. The data structure called 2D string, proposed by Chang et al., is adopted to represent symbolic pictures. The 2D string preserves the objects' spatial knowledge embedded in images. Since spatial relationship is a fuzzy concept, the capability of similarity retrieval for the retrieval by subpicture is essential. In this paper, similarity measure based on 2D string longest common subsequence is defined. The algorithm for similarity retrieval is also proposed. Similarity retrieval provides the iconic image database with the distinguishing function different from a conventional database.
