Margin optimization algorithm for digital subscriber lines based on particle swarm optimization

The margin maximization problem in digital subscriber line（DSL） systems is investigated.The particle swarm optimization（PSO） theory is applied to the nonconvex margin optimization problem with the target power and rate constraints.PSO is a new evolution algorithm based on the social behavior of swarms, which can solve discontinuous, nonconvex and nonlinear problems efficiently.The proposed algorithm can converge to the global optimal solution, and numerical example demonstrates that the proposed algorithm can guarantee the fast convergence within a few iterations.

Assembly-Line Health Check up in Digitalized Hospital

The health check up flow of digital hospital can be consulted with the assem bly line of industry factory.Because they have the following same features:highly specialized workstation, closeness and continuance,rhythm,balanced production,continuous production.The essential prerequisites are as the follows:The inspecting item s and methods should be stable;advanced product mix and stable production design;standardized raw m aterial,consumption,procedure, inspection method;there are lots of request for health inspection;the customers move at the least unit;the space arrangement should be reasonable;the time arrangement should be proportion. With the com puter net,the digital inspection can achieves the raw material controlling accurately. The basis of check up line concerns about equipm ent,net and software,data collection,and per- sonnel.The group technology is used in the health inspection flow design of the digital hospital in the field of items custom ers and zone redivided.The digital assembly linem ic health inspect has the following stages:m ember registering,notice,check in,arrange order,tim e control,report,feed- back and analysis. The assem bly linemic has following advantages:increasing the productivity, the space utility,satisfaction of customer,fund returning,lowering the cost and ensuring the quality.

An 80-GHz DCO utilizing improved SC ladder and promoted DCTL-based hybrid tuning banks

An 80-GHz DCO based on modified hybrid tuning banks is introduced in this paper.To achieve sub-MHz frequency res-olution with reduced circuit complexity,the improved circuit topology replaces the conventional circuit topology with two binary-weighted SC cells,enabling eight SC-cell-based improved SC ladders to achieve the same fine-tuning steps as twelve SC-cell-based conventional SC ladders.To achieve lower phase noise and smaller chip size,the promoted binary-weighted digi-tally controlled transmission lines(DCTLs)are used to implement the coarse and medium tuning banks of the DCO.Compared to the conventional thermometer-coded DCTLs,control bits of the proposed DCTLs are reduced from 30 to 8,and the total length is reduced by 34.3%(from 122.76 to 80.66μm).Fabricated in 40-nm CMOS,the DCO demonstrated in this work fea-tures a small fine-tuning step(483 kHz),a high oscillation frequency(79-85 GHz),and a smaller chip size(0.017 mm^(2)).Com-pared to previous work,the modified DCO exhibits an excellent figure of merit with an area(FoMA)of-198 dBc/Hz.
