Method for electromagnetic detection satellites scheduling based on genetic algorithm with alterable penalty coefficient

The electromagnetic detection satellite （EDS） is a type of earth observation satellites （EOSs）. The Information collected by EDSs plays an important role in some fields, such as industry, science and military. The scheduling of EDSs is a complex combinatorial optimization problem. Current research mainly focuses on the scheduling of imaging satellites and SAR satellites, but little work has been done on the scheduling of EDSs for its specific characteristics. A multi-satellite scheduling model is established, in which the specific constrains of EDSs are considered, then a scheduling algorithm based on the genetic algorithm （GA） is proposed. To deal with the specific constrains of EDSs, a penalty function method is introduced. However, it is hard to determine the appropriate penalty coefficient in the penalty function. Therefore, an adaptive adjustment mechanism of the penalty coefficient is designed to solve the problem, as well as improve the scheduling results. Experimental results are used to demonstrate the correctness and practicability of the proposed scheduling algorithm.

PCCP broken wire detection based on orthogonal electromagnetic principle

Aiming at the major failure mode of prestressed concrete cylinder pipes (PCCP),namely the fracture of prestressed steel wires,the broken wire detection technology based on orthogonal electromagnetic principle is studied. The detection system model is established and optimized by using COMSOL finite element simulation software. Furthermore,the theoretical analysis of the wire-breaking effect is carried out. The influence of factors on broken wire signal characteristics such as edge effect,circumferential relative position of the detector and broken wires,excitation frequency and relative permeability of steel wires is analyzed,which provides a theoretical guidance for the field detection. The influence of the steel cylinder structure on the simulation results is analyzed,which provides a reference for the improvement of calculation efficiency. The corresponding detection system is designed and implemented. Concretely,a high-voltage and high-power sinusoidal signal coil drive scheme based on sinusoidal pulse width modulation technology and an intelligent power module is innovatively proposed and the corresponding protection circuit is designed. The broken wire signal could be effectively extracted through a lock-in amplifier. The experimental results show that this system can effectively identify the broken wires with low cost.

Coordinate scheduling approach for EDS observation tasks and data transmission jobs

Electromagnetic detection satellite（EDS） is a type of Earth observation satellite（EOS）. Satellites observation and data down-link scheduling plays a significant role in improving the efficiency of satellite observation systems. However, the current works mainly focus on the scheduling of imaging satellites, little work focuses on the scheduling of EDSes for its specific requirements.And current works mainly schedule satellite resources and data down-link resources separately, not considering them in a globally optimal perspective. The EDSes and data down-link resources are scheduled in an integrated process and the scheduling result is searched globally. Considering the specific constraints of EDS, a coordinate scheduling model for EDS observation tasks and data transmission jobs is established and an algorithm based on the genetic algorithm is proposed. Furthermore, the convergence of our algorithm is proved. To deal with some specific constraints, a solution repairing algorithm of polynomial computing time is designed. Finally, some experiments are conducted to validate the correctness and practicability of our scheduling algorithms.

Research of EDM Spark Locations in Die-sinking

Detection of 2-dimention spark locations by electromagnetic detection method in electrical discharge machining (EDM) is studied. The method, which is applied and investigated, is based on the fact that the release of energy from a spark is transformed into electromagnetic wave around the workpiece. A new sensor system composed of high precision linear Hall components and cubic ferrite is used to detect the intensity of magnetic field. Relation equation between the output of the sensor system and 2-dimention spark locations experiment under a spiculate electrode is introduced, and its diagram of curve is drawn. As a result, the information that can be achieved by detecting spark’s location gives new possibilities for an extended analysis of the EDM-process.

Ultralow-noise single-photon detection based on precise temperature controlled photomultiplier with enhanced electromagnetic shielding

We demonstrate an ultralow-noise single-photon detection system based on a sensitive photomultiplier tube（PMT） with precise temperature control, which can capture fast single photons with intervals around 10 ns.By improvement of the electromagnetic shielding and introduction of the self-differencing method, the dark counts（DCs） are cut down to ~1%. We further develop an ultra-stable PMT cooling subsystem and observe that the DC goes down by a factor of 3.9 each time the temperature drops 10°C. At -20°C it is reduced 400 times with respect to the room temperature（25°C）, that is, it becomes only 2 counts per second, which is on par with the superconducting nanowire detectors. Meanwhile, despite a 50% loss, the detection efficiency is still 13%. Our detector is available for ultra-precise single-photon detection in environments with strong electromagnetic disturbances.

Realization of Magnetic Signal Acquisition Scheme for Banknotes

In order to solve the problem of low signal-to-noise ratio（about 15 d B） in magnetic signal acquisition of banknotes, a new method of magnetic signal acquisition and processing is proposed taking RMB as an example. In this method, weak signa detection is performed to reduce the noise accompanied with the signal. Seven orders of Chebyshev（Ⅰ） filter and the anti-jamming technology are used in the PCB layout, and grounding modes are introduced to reduce the noise of the amplitude waveform. The proposed method reduce the final output noise by 2/3 and the sig nal-to-noise ratio is increased to 24 d B. The experimental results show that the magnetic signal of RMB banknotes are acquired by the circuit stability, which provides an important guarantee for the improvements of the anti-counterfeit and discrimination for banknotes performance.
