This paper describes a new method to calibrate mirror map on ultraprecise movement stage (UPMS) with nanopositioning and to make a real-time compensation for the mirror surface error by using mirror map data tables with the software algorithm. Based on the mirror map test model, the factors affecting mirror map are analyzed through geometric method on the UPMS with six digrees of freedom. Dam processing methods including spline interpolation and spline offsets are used to process the raw sampling data to build mirror map tables. The linear interpolation as compensation method to make a real-time correction on the stage mirror unflatness is adopted and the correction formulas are illuminated. In this way, the measurement accuracy of the system is obviously improved from 40 nm to 5 nm.展开更多

In this paper, an efficient Hypercube Sequential Matrix Partition (HS-MP) for efficient data sharing in P2P Networks using tokenizer method is proposed to resolve the problems of the larger P2P networks. The availability of data is first measured by the tokenizer using Dynamic Hypercube Organization. By applying Dynamic Hypercube Organization, that efficiently coordinates and assists the peers in P2P network ensuring data availability at many locations. Each data in peer is then assigned with valid ID by the tokenizer using Sequential Self-Organizing (SSO) ID generation model. This ensures data sharing with other nodes in large P2P network at minimum time interval which is obtained through proximity of data availability. To validate the framework HS-MP, the performance is evaluated using traffic traces collected from data sharing applications. Simulations conducting using Network simulator-2 show that the proposed framework outperforms the conventional streaming models. The performance of the proposed system is analyzed using energy consumption, average latency and average data availability rate with respect to the number of peer nodes, data size, amount of data shared and execution time. The proposed method reduces the energy consumption 43.35% to transpose traffic, 35.29% to bitrev traffic and 25% to bitcomp traffic patterns.展开更多
