The Bipolar Field-Effect Transistor: III.Short Channel Electrochemical Current Theory (Two-MOS-Gates on Pure-Base)

This paper describes the short channel theory of the bipolar field-effect transistor （BiFET） by partitioning the transistor into two sections,the source and drain sections,each can operate as the electron or hole emitter or collector under specific combinations of applied terminal voltages. Analytical solution is obtained in the source and drain sections by separating the two-dimensional trap-free Shockley Equations into two one-dimensional equations parametrically coupled via the surface-electric-potential and by using electron current continuity and hole current continuity at the boundary between the emitter and collector sections. Total and electron-hole-channel components of the output and transfer currents and conductances, and the electrical lengths of the two sections are computed and presented in graphs as a function of the D. C. terminal voltages for the model transistor with two identical and connected metal-oxide-silicon-gates （MOS-gates） on a thin pure-silicon base over practical ranges of thicknesses of the silicon base and gate oxide. Deviations of the long physical channel currents and conductances from those of the short electrical channels are reported.

Improved dark channel image dehazing method based on Gaussian mixture model

To solve the problem of color distortion after dehazing in the sky region by using the classical dark channel prior method to process the hazy images with large regions of sky,an improved dark channel image dehazing method based on Gaussian mixture model is proposed.Firstly,we use the Gaussian mixture model to model the hazy image,and then use the expectation maximization(EM)algorithm to optimize the parameters,so that the hazy image can be divided into the sky region and the non-sky region.Secondly,the sky region is divided into a light haze region,a medium haze region and a heavy haze region according to the different dark channel values to estimate the transmission respectively.Thirdly,the restored image is obtained by combining the atmospheric scattering model.Finally,adaptive local tone mapping for high dynamic range images is used to adjust the brightness of the restored image.The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively eliminate the color distortion in the sky region,and the restored image is clearer and has better visual effect.

Natural Gradient Approach to Multichannel Blind Deconvolution

In this paper we study the geometrical structures of FIR filters and their application to multichannel blind deconvolution. First we introduce a Lie group structure and a Riemannian structure on the manifolds of the FIR filters. Then we derive the natural gradients on the manifolds using the isometry of the Riemannian metric. Using the natural gradient, we present a novel learning algorithm for blind deconvolution based on the minimization of mutual information. Some properties of the learning algorithm, such as equivariance and stability are also studied. Finally, the simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed algorithm.

MDL-based root-mean-squared delay spread estimation for MIMO OFDM systems

This paper studied the application of minimum description length (MDL) criterion for estimating root-mean-squared (RMS) delay spread (RDS) for MIMO OFDM systems. The analytic relationship between the powers and the correlation matrix of multipath components established the feasibility of the application of the MDL criterion to RDS estimation. The estimator presented both the estimate of instantaneous RDS and the estimates of noise variance, channel power and SNR of current channel with low computational complexity. Given the powers of the estimated multipath components, the MDL criterion was adopted to acquire the number of paths and the time delays of each path of current channel without making eigendecomposition of the correlation matrix normally required by MDL criterion, following which the noise variance and the power of each path can be estimated. The power delay profile (PDP) and RDS of the current channel were achieved. Simulation results showed that the proposed estimator was insensitive to variance of SNR and robust against frequency-selectivity.

Security-aware Signal Packing Algorithm for CAN-based Automotive Cyber-physical Systems

Network and software integration pose severe challenges in cyber-security for controller area network (CAN)-based automotive cyber-physical system (ACPS), therefore we employ message authentication code (MAC) to defend CAN against masquerade attack, but the consequent bandwidth overhead makes it a necessity to find the tradeoff among security, real-time and bandwidth utilization for signal packing problem (SPP) of CAN. A mixed-security signal model is firstly proposed to formally describe the properties and requirements on security and real-time for signals, and then a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulation of SPP security-aware signal packing (SASP) is implemented to solve the tradeoff problem, where the bandwidth utilization is improved and the requirements in both security and real-time are met. Experiments based on both society of automotive engineers (SAE) standard signal set and simulated signal set showed the effectiveness of SASP by comparing with the state-of-the-art algorithm. © 2014 Chinese Association of Automation.

An Algebraic Detection Approach for Control Systems under Multiple Stochastic Cyber-attacks

In order to compromise a target control system successfully, hackers possibly attempt to launch multiple cyberattacks aiming at multiple communication channels of the control system. However, the problem of detecting multiple cyber-attacks has been hardly investigated so far. Therefore, this paper deals with the detection of multiple stochastic cyber-attacks aiming at multiple communication channels of a control system. Our goal is to design a detector for the control system under multiple cyberattacks. Based on frequency-domain transformation technique and auxiliary detection tools, an algebraic detection approach is proposed. By applying the presented approach, residual information caused by different attacks is obtained respectively and anomalies in the control system are detected. Sufficient and necessary conditions guaranteeing the detectability of the multiple stochastic cyber-attacks are obtained. The presented detection approach is simple and straightforward. Finally, two simulation examples are provided, and the simulation results show that the detection approach is effective and feasible. © 2014 Chinese Association of Automation.

Impact of spontaneous Raman scattering on quantum channel wavelength-multiplexed with classical channel in time domain

In the quantum key distribution system, quantum channel is always affected by spontaneous Raman scattering noise when it transmits with classical channels that act as synchronization and data channels on a shared fiber. To study the effect of the noise exactly, the temporal distribution characteristics of the Raman scattering noise are analyzed theoretically and measured by a single-photon detector. On the basis of this, a scheme to decrease the noise is proposed.

Distribution of a modulated squeezed state over a lossy channel

The distribution of a modulated squeezed state over a quantum channel is the basis for quantum key distribution（QKD） with a squeezed state. In this Letter, a modulated squeezed state is distributed over a lossy channel. The Wigner function of the distributed state is measured to observe the evolution of the quantum state over a lossy channel, which shows that the squeezing level and the displacement amplitude of the quantum state are decreased along with the increase of the channel loss. We also measure the squeezing level in the frequency domain by the frequency shift technique. The squeezing of the modulated squeezed state at the modulation frequency is observed in this way. The presented results supply a reference for a QKD with a squeezed state.

Pressure Wave and Fluid Velocity in a Bend-Mode Inkjet Nozzle with Double PZT Actuators

A new concept of bend-mode inkjet nozzle with double PZT (lead zirconate titanate) actuators has been designed and fabricated in the present study. Then the pressure wave and fluid velocity at the nozzle exit have been investigated. The complex pressure behavior inside the channel was solved numerically based on the narrow channel acoustic theory. The two PZTs attached to a rectangular channel were actuated sequentially by setting the waveforms of each PZT to be center-aligned with various pulse widths. As a result, the double PZT actuation is superior to the single PZT actuation in view of strong momentum force and fast dissipation of residual pressure. The maximum fluid velocity at the nozzle exit is observed when the respective pulse widths equal to their optimum pulse widths. The numerical results are supported by the experimental results with the fabricated inkjet device by measuring the speed of meniscus just out of the nozzle.

Problems and solutions regarding generalized functional safety in cyberspace

The common endogenous security problems in cyberspace and related attack threats have posed subversive challenges to conventional theories and methods of functional safety.In the current design of the cyber physical system(CPS),functional safety and cyber security are increasingly intertwined and inseparable,which evolve into the generalized functional safety(S&S)problem.The conventional reliability and cybersecurity technologies are unable to provide security assurance with quanti able design and veri cation metrics in response to the cyberattacks in hardware and software with common endogenous security problems,and the functional safety of CPS facilities or device has become a frightening ghost.The dynamic heterogeneity redundancy(DHR)architecture and coding channel theory(CCT)proposed by the cyberspace endogenous security paradigm could handle random failures and uncertain network attacks in an integrated manner,and its generalized robust control mechanism can solve the universal problem of quantitative design for functional safety under probability or improbability perturbation.As a generalized functional safety enabling structure,DHR opens up a new direction to solve the common endogenous security problems in the cross-disciplinary elds of cyberspace.

Blind frequency offset estimation based on cyclic prefix and virtual subcarriers in CO-OFDM system

A new blind frequency offset estimation method based on cyclic prefix and virtual subcarriers in coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （CO-OFDM） system is presented. It is able to estimate the fractional part and integral part of frequency offset at the same time. Its estimation range is about [-3.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz]. The influence of the integral frequency offset is comprehensively analyzed in COOFDM system. Its performances in the additive white Gaussian noise （AWGN） channel and the dispersive channel are investigated, respectively. Simulation results indicate that even in the dispersive channel, when the optical signal-to-noise ratio （OSNR） is low, it can still work very well.

The analytical BER expression is then obtained in terms of the Gauss-Laguerre quadrature rule. Monte Carlo simulation is also provided to confirm the validity of the presented average BER model.
