Multiple-image encryption by two-step phase-shifting interferometry and spatial multiplexing of smooth compressed signal

A multiple-image encryption method based on two-step phase-shifting interferometry （PSI） and spatial multiplexing of a smooth compressed signal is proposed. In the encoding and encryption process, with the help of four index matrices to store original pixel positions, all the pixels of four secret images are firstly reordered in an ascending order; then, the four reordered images are transformed by five-order Haar wavelet transform and performed sparseness operation. After Arnold transform and pixels sampling operation, one combined image can be grouped with the aid of compressive sensing （CS） and spatial multiplexing techniques. Finally, putting the combined image at the input plane of the PSI encryption scheme, only two interferograms ciphertexts can be obtained. During the decoding and decryption, utilizing all the secret key groups and index matrices keys, all the original secret images can be successfully decrypted by a wave-front retrieval algorithm of two-step PSI, spatial de-multiplexing, inverse Arnold transform, inverse discrete wavelet transform, and pixels reordering operation.

Information Encryption Based on Using Arbitrary Two-Step Phase-Shift Interferometry

A deterministic phase-encoded encryption system is proposed. A lenticular lens array (LLA) sheet with a particular LPI (lenticular per inch) number is chosen as a modulator (key) instead of the random phase molator. The suggested encryption scheme is based on arbitrary two-step phase-shift interferometry (PSI), using an unknown phase step. The encryption and decryption principle is based on an LLA in arbitrary unknown two-step PSI. Right key holograms can be used to theoretically show that the object wavefront is the only one left in the hologram plane and that all accompanying undesired terms are eliminated. The encrypted image can therefore be numerically and successfully decrypted with the right key in the image plane. The number of degrees of freedom of the encryption scheme increases with the distance from the object and the LLA to the CCD, and also with the unknown phase-step and the LLA LPI number. Computer simulations are performed to verify the encryption and decryption principles without a key, with the wrong key and with the right key. Optical experiments are also performed to validate them.

Comparative analysis of phase extraction methods based on phase-stepping and shifting curve in grating interferometry

Two phase extraction methods which are based separately on phase-stepping and shifting curve are mainly used in phase-sensitive imaging in gating interferometry to determine the x-ray phase shift induced by an object in the beam. In this paper, the authors perform a full comparative analysis and present the main virtues and limitations of these two methods according to the theoretical analysis of the grating interferometry.

First Step in Dissociation Process in the Gas Phase for Small Molecules with Neutral Atoms: Application with the Even-Odd Rule and a Specific Periodic Table for Organic and Inorganic Atoms

Dissociations in the gas phase of small molecules have been intensively studied and dissociation energies of various gases are available in reference works. Configurations of compounds before and after the dissociation are usually known, but local charges are not defined. Building on the even-odd rule, the topic of a series of previous articles by the same author, the objective of this paper is to show how it can be used to give electronic rules for dissociations in gases. To this end, a specific periodic table is created and used. The rules are applied to a selection of more than 30 common molecules, showing that the even-odd rule and its consequences are useful in explaining the phenomenon of dissociation in gases.

A two-step transient liquid phase diffusion bonding process of T91 steels

In this study, a two-step heating process is introduced for transient liquid phase （ TLP） diffusion bonding fo r sound joints with T91 heat resistant steels. At first, a short-time higher temperature heating step is addressed to melt the interlayer, followed by the second step to complete isothermal solidification at a low temperature. The most critical feature of our new method is producing a non-planar interface at the T9／ heat resistant steels joint. We propose a transitional liquid phase bonding of T91 heat resistant steels by this approach. Since joint microstructures have been studied, we tested the tensile strength to assess joint mechanical property. The result indicates that the solidified bond may contain a primary solid-solution, similar composition to the parent metal and free from precipitates. Joint tensile strength of the joint is not lower than parent materials. Joint bend＇s strengths are enhanced due to the higher metal-to-metal junction producing a non-planar bond lines. Nevertheless, the traditional transient liquid phase diffusion bonding produces planar ones. Bonding parameters of new process are 1 260 °C for 0. 5 min and 1 230 °C fo r 4 min.

Direct Digital Frequency Control Based on the Phase Step Change Characteristic between Signals

We present a new digital phase lock technology to achieve the frequency control and transformation through high precision multi-cycle group synchronization between signals without the frequency transformation circuit. In the case of digital sampling, the passing zero point of the phase of the controlled signal has the phase step characteristic, the phase step of the passing zero point is monotonic continuous with high resolution in the phase lock process, and using the border effect of digital fuzzy area, the gate can synchronize with the two signals, the quantization error is reduced. This technique is quite different from the existing methods of frequency transformation and frequency synthesis, the phase change characteristic between the periodic signals with different nominal is used. The phase change has the periodic phenomenon, and it has the high resolution step value. With the application of the physical law, the noise is reduced because of simplifying frequency transformation circuits, and the phase is locked with high precision. The regular phase change between frequency signals is only used for frequency measurement, and the change has evident randomness, but this randomness is greatly reduced in frequency control, and the certainty of the process result is clear. The experiment shows that the short term frequency stability can reach 10-12/s orders of magnitude.

Instantaneous phase-stepping interferometry based on a pixelated micro-polarizer array

In this paper, we propose an instantaneous phase-stepping method for determining phase distribution of interference fringes utilizing a camera that is equipped with a micro-polarizer array on the sensor plane. An optical setup of polarization interferometry using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with two polarizers is constructed. Light emerging from the interferometer is recorded using a camera that has a micro-polarizer array. This micro-polarizer array has four different optical axes. That is, an image obtained by the camera contains four types of information corresponding to four different optical axes of the polarizer. The four images separated from the image recorded by the camera are reconstructed using gray level interpolation. Subsequently, the distributions of the Stokes parameters that represent the state of polarization are calculated from the four images. The phase distribution of the interference fringe pattern produced by the Mach-Zehnder interferometer is then obtained from these Stokes parameters, The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by measuring a static carrier pattern and time-variant fringe patterns. It is emphasized that this method is applicable to time-variant phenomena because multiple exposures are unnecessary for sufficient data acquisition in the completion of the phase analysis.

A study on the two-step transient liquid phase diffusion bonding of K640 superalloy

A new technology, the two-step transient liquid phase diffusion bonding （TLP-DB） technology for cobalt-based K640 superalloy, was investigated. The method consists of a short-time high temperature heating to melt interlayer followed by isothermal solidification of liquid phase at a lower temperature than that of the conventional TLP-DB. The result indicates that the two-step TLP-DB can reliably produce an ideal joint with uniform chemical composition, which is superior to the joint welded by conventional TLP-DB in microstructure and mechanical properties. Bonding parameters of new process are 1 250℃ for 0. 5 h and 1 180℃ for 3 h. The high-temperature tensile strength of the joint by two-step TLP-DB reaches 74% of that of the base material on an equal basis, but the high-temperature tensile strength of the joint by conventional TLP-DB is only 58% of that of the base material.

Signal-to-noise ratio comparison of angular signal radiography and phase stepping method

Grating-based x-ray phase contrast imaging has the potential to be applied in future medical applications as it is compatible with both laboratory and synchrotron source. However, information retrieval methods are important because acquisition speed, scanning mode, image quality, and radiation dose depend on them. Phase-stepping （PS） is a widely used method to retrieve information, while angular signal radiography （ASR） is a newly established method. In this manuscript, signal-to-noise ratios （SNRs） of ASR are compared with that of PS. Numerical experiments are performed to validate theoretical results. SNRs comparison shows that for refraction and scattering images ASR has higher SNR than PS method, while for absorption image both methods have same SNR. Therefore, our conclusions would have guideline in future preclinical and clinical applications.

Also, the gain drop and sidelobe degradation due to random amplitude and phase errors and element (or T/R module) failures are investigated.

Microscopic phase-field simulation for precipitation behavior of Ni-Al-Cr alloy during two-step aging

Based on the microscopic phase-field model, the pre-aging temperature effects on the precipitation mechanism and microstructure evolution during two-step aging for Ni75Al9Cr16 alloy were simulated. The results show that the early precipitation mechanism of L12 phase is the mixed mechanism of spinodal decomposition and non-classical nucleation growth, whereas the early precipitation mechanism of DO22 phase is spinodal decomposition when the pre-aging temperature is 873 K. The early precipitation mechanism of L12 phase is non-classical nucleation growth, whereas the early precipitation mechanism of DO22 phase is spinodal decomposition when the pre-aging temperature is 973 K. Under the effects of elastic strain energy, the cubic particles exhibit directional alignment along [100] and [010] directions during the late precipitation, which is more obvious at lower pre-temperature. DO22 phases appear earlier than L12 phases under these two kinds of precipitation processes; and the nucleation incubation time becomes long with the increase of pre-temperature.

互补格雷码双N步相移法因其具有鲁棒性好、检测精度高等特点在条纹投影轮廓术领域成为研究热点。然而,传统互补格雷码双N步相移法存在检测效率低以及未消除周期性毛刺相位误差的问题。针对这些问题,本文对传统互补格雷码双N步相移法进行改进消除周期性毛刺相位误差,首先通过相机捕获形变条纹图像并计算出两组截断相位,然后利用两组截断相位的相关性消除检测数据中的相位差、周期性毛刺相位误差,再对两组截断相位进行融合,最后通过互补格雷码相位展开法对融合后的截断相位进行相位展开。实验得出本文方法在检测效率不变的情况下,能有效消除周期性毛刺相位误差,得到高精度展开相位,相比于未消除周期性毛刺相位误差的互补格雷码双N步相移法,本文检测方法精度提高了约24.57%,相比于互补格雷码N步相移法,本文检测方法精度提高了约6.29%。

计及风电PSS与PLL耦合对功角振荡影响的DFIG控制参数协调优化

双馈感应发电机(doubly fed induction generator,DFIG)装设电力系统稳定器(power system stabilizer,PSS),有助于抑制同步发电机间功角振荡,但抑制效果受DFIG锁相环(phase-locked loop,PLL)跟踪误差影响。考虑PSS与PLL耦合特性对功角振荡的影响,提出改善振荡抑制效果的DFIG控制参数协调优化算法。首先基于DFIG有功控制的分解等效结构绘制DFIG-PSS与锁相误差的耦合路径,提出耦合特性解析表达。然后建立耦合解析表达对控制参数的轨迹灵敏度向量,以向量2-范数之比定义耦合强度,量化耦合特性对功角振荡的影响程度。最后基于耦合强度指标,提出带有PLL参数动态不等式约束的多步优化模型,以协调DFIG控制参数取值,提高并网系统对功角振荡的抑制效果。仿真结果证实了耦合特性对功角振荡的影响,验证了所提协调优化算法的有效性。

W掺杂量和退火温度对W-VO_(2)物相结构及相变性能的影响

钨掺杂M相二氧化钒(W-VO_(2)(M))有效降低了VO_(2)金属相(低温单斜相,M)到绝缘体相(高温四方金红石相,R)的可逆相转变温度(T_(c)),显著提高了VO_(2)在智能窗领域的应用价值。然而,W-VO_(2)(M)所表现出的较宽热滞回线宽度(ΔT_(c)>10℃)对其应用造成了一定的限制。为了解决这一问题,本研究以降低W-VO_(2)(M)的ΔT_(c)为目标,研究了W掺杂量与退火温度对W-VO_(2)物相结构及相变性能的影响。结果表明:随着W掺杂量的增加,W-VO_(2)粉体的T_(c)降低,并且ΔT_(c)较窄;退火温度的升高可以提高W-VO_(2)粉体的结晶度和分散度,但温度过高,会加速VO_(2)晶体结构的破坏,使其在恢复到室温后无法从R相转变为M相;当W掺杂量为6.0 at%,退火温度为700℃时,采用水热-退火两步法制备得到的W-VO_(2)(M)粉体表现出接近室温使用的T_(c)(T_(c)=36.83℃),同时具有较窄的ΔT_(c)(ΔT_(c)=6.63℃)。

何成诗教授从“结者散之”论治肺结节经验

目前肺结节检出率逐年升高,因其病因多样和潜在的恶性,容易导致过度治疗或治疗延误,这使得肺结节的防治成为临床难点、热点。何成诗教授基于“结者散之”理论,认为肺结节核心病机突出一个“结”字,包括气结、痰瘀结、毒结、多邪结;临证处方主张紧扣一个“散”字,包括益气散结、行气散结、化痰祛瘀散结、解毒散结、通络散结。从“结者散之”论治肺结节,紧扣病机,处方灵活,疗效显著,为临床论治肺结节提供了新的思路,值得借鉴。
