Design and synthesis of side-chain optimized poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)-g-poly(styrene sulfonic acid) as proton exchange membrane for fuel cell applications: Balancing the water-resistance and the sulfonation degree

Side-chain optimized poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)-g-poly (styrene sulfonic acid) (PPO-g-PSSA) is designed with balanced water-resistance and sulfonation degree. The PPO-g-PSSA is synthesized by controlled atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) from brominated poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO-xBr) and ethyl styrene-4-sulfonate and followed by hydrolysis. A series of PPO-g-PSSA are prepared possessing different bromination degree (x) of PPO-xBr and polymerization degree (m) of the side-chains and the water-resistances of the fabricated membranes are investigated. The results show that a PPO-g-PSSA at relatively low x (x < 0.2) and high m (m > 4) exhibits good balance between the water-resistance and the sulfonation degree. Namely, it displays suitable proton conductivity with compromised water-resistance. Moreover, a maximum ion exchange capacity (IEC) of 3.24 mmol g^?1 is reached without the sacrifice of water-resistance. In addition, PPO-g-0.08PSSA-13 and PPO-g-0.14PSSA-4 are chosen characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, proton conductivities and mechanical properties. At 90% RH, the optimized PPO-g-0.08PPSA-13 possesses a proton conductivity of 37.9 mS cm^?1 at 40 °C and 45.5 mS cm^?1 at 95 °C, respectively.     

Reduction of noise figure in semiconductor laser amplifiers with Ga1-xInxAs/GaInAsP/InP strained quantum wellstructures

The noise characteristics of semiconductor laser amplifiers (SLAs) in the Ga_1-xIn_xAs/GaInAsP/InP strained quantum well (QW) system are theoretically calculated and analyzed using density-matrix theory and taking into account the effects of band mixing on both the valence subbands and the transition dipole moments. The numerical results show that a reduced noise figure can be obtained in both tensile and compressively strained QW structures due to the increase in differential gain and the decrease in transparent carrier density. From a comparison among compressively strained (x=0.70), unstrained (x=0.53), and tensile strained (x=0.40) QW SLAs at a fixed carrier density and optical confinement factor, it is found that the noise figure of the tensile strained QW reaches its lowest value of 3.4 dB at average input optical power of -20 dB     

Effect of Additives on Magnetic Properties of High Frequency MnZn Power Ferrite

In keeping with the advance of more compact and more power-saving electronic equipment, the demand is increasing for smaller and more efficient switching power supply. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the adequate magnetic power ferrite materials to satisfy the demand. Such ferrite materials have to meet the following main requirement: 1) high initial permeability (μ i ); 2) high saturation magnetic induction (Bs); 3) high Curie temperature (Tc); 4) high electrical resistivity (ρ ); 5)…     

高频MnZn功率铁氧体烧结工艺研究

按照氧化物陶瓷工艺对高频MnZn功率铁氧体烧结工艺条件进行了研究。烧结温度越高，晶粒越大，晶界越薄，电阻率越低，磁芯损耗越大，起始磁导率和烧结密度分别在1240℃和1230℃达到最大值。延长保温时间，可以使晶粒充分生长，晶界变薄，电阻率减小，损耗增大。保温3h后，起始磁导率和烧结密度均可达到最大值。氧分压越低，材料起始磁导率越高，电阻率越小，损耗越大，但氧分压低于5％后烧结密度不再继续增加。

Collaborative representation with reduced residual for face recognition

Collaboration representation-based classification (CRC) was proposed as an alternative approach to the sparse representation method with similar efficiency. The CRC is essentially a competition scheme for the training samples to compete with each other in representing the test sample, and the training class with the minimum representation residual from the test sample wins the competition in the classification. However, the representation error is usually calculated based on the Euclidean distance between a test sample and the weighted sum of all the same-class samples. This paper exploits alternative methods of calculating the representation error in the CRC methods to reduce the representation residual in a more optimal way, so that the sample classes compete with each other in a closer range to represent the test sample. A large number of face recognition experiments on three face image databases show that the CRC methods with optimized presentation residual achieve better performance than the original CRC, and the maximum improvement in classification accuracy is up to 12 %.     

基于虚通道故障粒度划分的3D NoC容错路由器设计

深亚微米工艺下,路由器受制于制造缺陷及运行时的脆弱性,易发生虚通道(virtual channel,VC)永久性故障,从而引起通信故障,影响系统功能和性能.为了能够有效地容忍虚通道故障、保证系统性能及充分利用可用资源,将虚通道故障类型细分为粗粒度故障和细粒度故障,提出SVS(single VC sharing)路由器架构,通过将路由器端口两两分组,组内端口间实现单虚通道共享.当发生虚通道粗粒度故障时,使用组内相邻端口共享虚通道容错.当发生细粒度故障时,根据Slot State Table信息配置虚通道读/写指针的值,从而跳过故障Buffer槽实现容错.在无粗粒度故障情况下,共享虚通道还可用于负载平衡及容忍路由计算模块故障.实验结果表明:较其他已有的虚通道路由器,SVS路由器在3种不同的故障情况下均较大地降低了延时,提高了吞吐量.这表明SVS路由器可有效提高系统可靠性,保证了系统性能,充分利用了可用资源.
