A Uniaxial Optimal Perfectly Matched Layer Method for Time-harmonic Scattering Problems

We develop a uniaxial optimal perfectly matched layer （opt PML） method for solving the time-harmonic scattering problems by choosing a particular absorbing function with unbounded integral in a rectangular domain. With this choice, the solution of the optimal PML problem not only converges exponentially to the solution of the original scatting problem, but also is insensitive to the thickness of the PML layer for sufficiently small parameter ε0. Numerical experiments are included to illustrate the competitive behavior of the proposed optimal method.

A novel layered method was proposed to solve the problem of Web services composition.In this method,services composition problem was formally transformed into the optimal matching problem of every layer,then optimal matching problem was modeled based on the hypergraph theory,and solved by computing the minimal transversals of the hypergraph.Meanwhile,two optimization algorithms were designed to discard some useless states at the intermediary steps of the composition algorithm.The effectiveness of the composition method was tested by a set of experiments,in addition,an example regarding the travel services composition was also given.The experimental results show that this method not only can automatically generate composition tree whose leaf nodes correspond to services composition solutions,but also has better performance on execution time and solution quality by adopting two proposed optimization algorithms.

Optimal Matching of Magnetic Pulse Compressor

Energy transmission efficiency in the magnetic pulse generators varies with saturated time of magnetic switch. An optimal matching time exists and depends on the compression ratio, under which, the energy transmission efficiency can reach approximate 100%. The equation of required magnetic core volume is obtained by taken into account the optimal matching mode. It indicates that a great reduction on the volume is feasible under the optimal matching mode. The circuit simulation code-PSPICE is also introduced to simulate a 3-stage magnetic pulse compressor, and the results are in accordance with those of equivalent circuit analyses.

Optimal Matching Analysis of Net Buoyancy and Pitching Angle for Underwater Gliders

Control parameter optimization is an efficient way to improve the endurance of underwater gliders(UGs),which influences their gliding efficiency and energy consumption.This paper analyzes the optimal matching between the net buoyancy and the pitching angle and proposes a segmented control strategy of Petrel-L.The optimization of this strategy is established based on the gliding range model of UG,which is solved based on the approximate model,and the variations of the optimal control parameters with the hotel load are obtained.The optimization results indicate that the segmented control strategy can significantly increase the gliding range when the optimal matching between the net buoyancy and the pitching angle is reached,and the increase rate is influenced by the hotel load.The gliding range of the underwater glider can be increased by 10.47%at a hotel load of 0.5 W.The optimal matching analysis adopted in this study can be applied to other UGs to realize endurance improvement.

Matching between mechanics and thermodynamics among 4 individual strokes in a 4-stroke engine by non-circular gear mechanism

The relationship between engine mechanics and thermo-dynamics has been investigated by means of numerical simulation.The inherent mismatching between the mechanical behaviors and the thermodynamic process in internal combustion engine is identified,which is believed to be one of the important limiting factors of energy efficiency for conventional engines available in the current market.An approach for engine efficiency improvement through optimal matching between mechanics and thermodynamics(OMBMT)is proposed.An ideal matching model is defined and the conflicts due to the constraints among the mapping strokes in a 4-stroke engine are analyzed.A novel mechanical model is built for approaching optimal matching among all 4 individual strokes in a 4-stroke spark-ignition engine,which is composed of non-circular gears(NCG)and integrated with conventional slider crank engine mechanism.By means of digital mechanical model and numerical simulation,the matching gains among all 4 strokes are defined and calculated for quantifying the NCG engine efficiency improvement by comparing with a baseline engine.The potentials with the OMBMT implemented and the enhancements made by NCG mechanism for engines in terms of overall engine efficiency are reported.Based on the results achieved,it is recommended that the feasibility studies and the experimental validations should be conducted to verify the engine matching concept and effectiveness of the NCG mechanism engine model proposed,and the engine performance and NCG design parameters should be further optimized.

Red,blue and green visible lasers are more attractive with the development of the science and technology.Self frequency doubling is an important approach to realize visible lasers.For self frequency doubling,the basic requests are high figure of merit(FOM),high damage threshold,good chemical stability and mechanical properties.Perfection and growth characters are also important for a practical SFD crystal. In recent years,the discovery of rare earth calcium oxyborates has resulted in the renewal in the field of SFD crystal.ReCaO(BO 3) 3(ReCOB)is a new type of novel nonlinear optical crystals which is nearly congruently melt and can be grown with Czochralski method.ReCOB crystals possess high nonlinear coefficients and damage thresholds.They are non hydroscopic and easy cutting and polishing.They belong to monoclinic with point group m and space group cm.The strong anisotropy originated from the low symmetry makes the measurement and application of the crystal more complicated.More than half of naturally existed crystals belongs to low symmetry,consequently,the research on the nonlinear and anisotropic laser optical properties are not only important for ReCOB crystal,but also useful for the applications of other low symmetry crystals.

Molecular Weight Controllable Degradation of Laminaria japonica Polysaccharides and Its Antioxidant Properties

In this study, molecular weight controllable degradation of algal Laminaria japonica polysaccharides(LPS) was investigated by ultrasound combined with hydrogen peroxide. Three main factors, i.e., ultrasonic power(A), ultrasonic time(B), and H_2O_2 concentration(C) were chosen for optimizing parameters by employing three-factors, three-levels BBD. The influence of degradation on structure change and antioxidant activities was also investigated. A second-order polynomial equation including molecular weight(Y) of Laminaria japonica polysaccharides and each variable parameter, i.e., ultrasonic power(A), ultrasonic time(B), and H_2O_2 concentration(C), was established: Y=20718.67-4273.13A-4000.38B-1438.75C+2333.25AB+1511.00AC+873.00BC+2838.29A^2 + 2490.79B^2+873.04C^2. The equation regression coefficient value(R^2 = 0.969) indicated that this equation was valid. The value of the adjusted determination coefficient(adjusted R^2 = 0.914) also confirmed that the model was highly significant. The results of selected experimental degradation conditions matched with the predicted value. FT-IR spectra revealed that the structures of LPS before and after degradation were not significantly changed. Antioxidant activities of LPS revealed that low Mws possessed stronger inhibitory than the original polysaccharides. The scavenging effects on superoxide radicals was the highest when IC50 of crude LPS was 4.92 mg mL^(-1) and IC50 of Mw 18.576 KDa was 1.02 mg mL^(-1), which was fourfold higher than initial polysaccharide.

A global model for evaluating discharge characteristics and performance of hollow cathodes

Hollow cathode,with the highest plasma density,current density,and temperature,becomes one of the most important components in the electro-thruster system.As the electric-propulsion thruster performance is directly related to the ionization rate,reliability,and lifetime of the hollow cathode,this paper develops a global model to study the effects of discharge current,gas flow rate,and gas species on the discharge characteristics in the insert and orifice regions of the hollow cathode.The emitter wall temperatures of hollow cathodes predicted by the global model are compared with experimental results from NSTAR thruster neutralization cathodes,confirming the model's validity.The influence of hollow cathode emitter material and structure sizes on the plasma parameters in the internal regions was also evaluated.The simulation results show that there is an optimal matching relationship between the discharge current and gas flow rate to guarantee the maximum ionization rate.The optimal working region for the hollow cathode has been deter-mined under different energetic,regime and structural parameters.The global model established in this paper can quickly determine the key structure and operating parameters of hollow cathode at the design stage,and provide the theoretical basis for hollow cathode design and development.

Design a Hybrid Energy-Supply for the Electrically Driven Heavy-Duty Hexapod Vehicle

Increasing the power density and overload capability of the energy-supply units(ESUs)is always one of the most challenging tasks in developing and deploying legged vehicles,especially for heavy-duty legged vehicles,in which significant power fluctuations in energy supply exist with peak power several times surpassing the average value.Applying ESUs with high power density and high overload can compactly ensure fluctuating power source supply on demand.It can avoid the ultra-high configuration issue,which usually exists in the conventional lithium-ion battery-based or engine-generator-based ESUs.Moreover,it dramatically reduces weight and significantly increases the loading and endurance capabilities of the legged vehicles.In this paper,we present a hybrid energy-supply unit for a heavy-duty legged vehicle combining the discharge characteristics of lithium-ion batteries and peak energy release/absorption characteristics of supercapacitors to adapt the ESU to high overload power fluctuations.The parameters of the lithium-ion battery pack and supercapacitor pack inside the ESU are optimally matched using the genetic algorithm based on the energy consumption model of the heavy-duty legged vehicle.The experiment results exhibit that the legged vehicle with a weight of 4.2 tons can walk at the speed of 5 km/h in a tripod gait under a reduction of 35.39%in weight of the ESU compared to the conventional lithium-ion battery-based solution.

Designing broadband fiber optic parametric amplifier based on near-zero single ZDW PCF with ultra-flat nature

We propose a broadband fiber optic parametric amplifier（FOPA） based on a near-zero ultra-flat dispersion profile with a single zero-dispersion wavelength（ZDW） by using a selective liquid infiltration technique.The amplifier gain and bandwidth is investigated for a variety of fiber lengths, pump power, and operating wavelengths. It is observed that sufficient peak gains and broader bandwidths can be achieved with a small negative anomalous dispersion（β2≤ 0） and a positive value of the 4th-order dispersion parameter（t β4）around the pump. We can optimize an FOPA with a bandwidth of more than 220 nm around the communications wavelength.

Free-space optical data links based on coaxial sidelobe-modified optical vortices

We propose and demonstrate free-space optical data links based on coaxial sidelobe-modified optical vortices（CSMOVs）. In contrast to the optical communication systems based on amplitude, frequency, or phase detection, the proposed scheme uses the radii ratio between the principle ring and the first sidelobe of the CSMOV.Therefore, the demand of stringent alignment and/or accurate phase matching is released. We design and optimize a composite computer-generated hologram to generate a CSMOV with four topological charges（TCs）.Extracted from the images captured by a CCD camera, the radii ratio between the principle ring and the first sidelobe of different TCs are consistent with the theoretical values.
