However, the specification of filming technique plays an important role in the DUS test of new varieties of plants. In this paper, we analyzed the status quo and significance of the application of filming technique in the PVP (Plant Variety Protection) system, and provided an introduction about the application of filming technique in DUS test in China.展开更多

However, major challenges associated with mining high-section top-coal-caving (HSTCC) are related to the resulting high ground stresses. Inevitability, using the high-section sublevel top coal caving for extra-steep-thick coal seam, the large scale of mined-out area appears. If the prefracture blasting and hydraulic fracture techniques are utilized, the top coal damage and cracks will develop, and the mining complexity will increase, such as seam inclination, continuity, mechanical characteristics of roof and susceptibility of top coal, etc. First, the field conditions of B1+2 seam were investigated at the +588 level of the Weihuliang Underground Mine of China. Subsequently, according to caving mechanism of strata response obtained from several special models including physical simulation tests and numerical simulation models, the prefracture process including blasting and injecting water were analyzed. Then, the prefracture blasting technique was successfully applied to the caving of 52 m-sublevel seam. Finally, the effects were verified by advanced detecting instruments, and the results show these methods and measurements are feasible and valid.展开更多

While there are also other adaptive techniques, where the decoder's LRBs adapt to the external parameter of the decoder like SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) level, a novel adaptive algorithm for BTC based on the statistics of an internal variable of the decoder itself is proposed in this paper. Different from the previous reported results, it collects the statistics of the multiplicity of the candidate sequences, i.e., the number of the same candidate sequences with the same minimum squared Euclidean distance resulted from the decoding of test sequences. It is shown by Monte Carlo simulations that the proposed adaptive algorithm has only about 0.02dB coding loss but the average complexity of the proposed algorithm is about 42% less compared with Pyndiah's iterative decoding algorithm using the fixed LRBs parameter.展开更多

This technology was first developed as the second half of the twentieth century and quickly achieved acceptance in both industry and commerce. In this paper studies are discussed on the design, development and printing of one-dimensional barcodes of the symbologies Code 39 and Interleaved 2 of 5. There are also discussed techniques for recovering the information encoded in the bar code, which can be extended to other symbologies. The purpose of the paper is the development of an open solution with the objective to make the decoding of barcodes using computer vision techniques possible, which will be divided into four basic stages: acquisition, pre-processing, processing and presentation of results. Practical tests conducted with samples show satisfactory results, validating the operating principles of the elements involved. The proposed objective was achieved and practical tests validated the operating principles of the elements addressed by providing contribution to that segment decoding barcodes.展开更多
