Frequency detection of self-adaption control based on chaotic theory

Low-order Duffing and high-order Rossler chaotic oscillator are connected together and new self-adaption frequency detection method is presented. The frequency difference control between unknown signal and the periodic driving force is realized in this paper and the self-adaption is obtained. Thus, the detection precision and speed are promoted. The limitation that there are too many chaotic oscillators in Duffing system is broken. Meanwhile the disadvantage that the detection speed is lower in R ssler chaotic control is overcome. The self-adaption choice of frequency difference control is realized using the Duffing and Rssler different chaotic oscillators to obtain unknown signal frequency. The simulation results show that the presented method is feasible and effective.

Impact of climate change and human activities on the spatiotemporal dynamics of surface water area in Gansu Province, China

Understanding the dynamics of surface water area and their drivers is crucial for human survival and ecosystem stability in inland arid and semi-arid areas.This study took Gansu Province,China,a typical area with complex terrain and variable climate,as the research subject.Based on Google Earth Engine,we used Landsat data and the Open-surface Water Detection Method with Enhanced Impurity Control method to monitor the spatiotemporal dynamics of surface water area in Gansu Province from 1985 to 2022,and quantitatively analyzed the main causes of regional differences in surface water area.The findings revealed that surface water area in Gansu Province expanded by 406.88 km2 from 1985 to 2022.Seasonal surface water area exhibited significant fluctuations,while permanent surface water area showed a steady increase.Notably,terrestrial water storage exhibited a trend of first decreasing and then increasing,correlated with the dynamics of surface water area.Climate change and human activities jointly affected surface hydrological processes,with the impact of climate change being slightly higher than that of human activities.Spatially,climate change affected the'source'of surface water to a greater extent,while human activities tended to affect the'destination'of surface water.Challenges of surface water resources faced by inland arid and semi-arid areas like Gansu Province are multifaceted.Therefore,we summarized the surface hydrology patterns typical in inland arid and semi-arid areas and tailored surface water'supply-demand'balance strategies.The study not only sheds light on the dynamics of surface water area in Gansu Province,but also offers valuable insights for ecological protection and surface water resource management in inland arid and semi-arid areas facing water scarcity.

The real-time transient stability detection and emergency control technology based on wide area response has become a hot research area in power system stability studies.Several different technologies have been proposed,but lots of problems remain to be solved before they can be applied in practice.A wide area measurement system(WAMS)based test platform is developed for transient stability detection and control.The design as well as main function modules of the platform are introduced.In addition,three generator power angle prediction methods and six response based transient instability detection technologies are given.Results of engineering application demonstrate that the developed test platform can provide a real-time operation environment,which can effectively compare and analyze the validity and practicability of these transient stability detection technologies.Based on the measured perturbed trajectories from actual power systems or the Real-Time Digital Simulators(RTDS),the platform can realize the assessment and visual result presentation of various responses from different transient instability detection technologies.The test platform can be applied to different power systems and it is convenient to embed new transient instability detection modules.Meanwhile some deficiencies and shortcomings in engineering application are pointed out and corresponding suggestions are given.In conclusion,the hardware and software structure,function modulus and engineering applications are presented.The application in actual power systems shows that it has a good application perspective.

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.

Novel technique of controlled laser air-force detection for rheological properties of polymers

A novel controlled laser air-force detection(CLAFD)technique was developed to detect the rheological properties of polymers with the characteristics of non-destruction and cross-contamination free.Dynamic testing and static testing were carried out in the technique.Back propagation neural network algorithm was used to establish the air-force control model.The replicability of CLAFD system was analyzed,the viscoelastic properties of polyurethane were investigated using alternating load testing.A comparative analysis of performances was made between the CLAFD and the texture analysis(TA)on the testing of creep-recovery and stress relaxation.The results demonstrated that the CLAFD system had good replicability.The lagging phase angle was between 0°-90°in the testing of alternating load.This illustrated that the CLAFD technique could be used to detect viscoelasticity.The parameters of response speed and the precision of the CLAFD entirely surpassed the TA on the creep-recovery testing.The CLAFD technique will provide a new real-time,non-destruction and cross-contamination-free detection method for material science,especially for those materials such as artificial biological tissue and function food products.
