Crossing Limit Cycles of Planar Piecewise Hamiltonian Systems with Linear Centers Separated by Two Parallel Straight Lines

In this paper, we have studied several classes of planar piecewise Hamiltonian systems with three zones separated by two parallel straight lines. Firstly, we give the maximal number of limit cycles in these classes of systems with a center in two zones and without equilibrium points in the other zone (or with a center in one zone and without equilibrium points in the other zones). In addition, we also give examples to illustrate that it can reach the maximal number.

Straight and twisted Weyl nodal line phonons in Ho2CF2 material

Based on first-principles calculations, symmetry analysis and model construction, we predict that Ho2CF2hosts both straight and twisted Weyl nodal lines in its bulk phonon spectrum. We identify that the top two phonon bands entangle with each other, forming two straight Weyl nodal lines on the K–H and K′–H′paths at the Brillouin zone(BZ) boundary,and six twisted Weyl nodal lines within the BZ. All the Weyl nodal lines along the kz direction and across the entire BZ.The symmetry analysis indicates that these Weyl nodal lines are protected by the PT symmetry and crystal symmetry. The Berry phase and drumhead-like nontrivial surface states are calculated. We also construct a tight-binding model to describe these nodal lines. Our work provides an excellent material platform for exploring the fascinating physics associated with straight and twisted Weyl nodal line phonons.

A self-organization formation configuration based assignment probability and collision detection

The formation control of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles(multi-UAVs)has always been a research hotspot.Based on the straight line trajectory,a multi-UAVs target point assignment algorithm based on the assignment probability is proposed to achieve the shortest overall formation path of multi-UAVs with low complexity and reduce the energy consumption.In order to avoid the collision between UAVs in the formation process,the concept of safety ball is introduced,and the collision detection based on continuous motion of two time slots and the lane occupation detection after motion is proposed to avoid collision between UAVs.Based on the idea of game theory,a method of UAV motion form setting based on the maximization of interests is proposed,including the maximization of self-interest and the maximization of formation interest is proposed,so that multi-UAVs can complete the formation task quickly and reasonably with the linear trajectory assigned in advance.Finally,through simulation verification,the multi-UAVs target assignment algorithm based on the assignment probability proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the total path length,and the UAV motion selection method based on the maximization interests can effectively complete the task formation.

Study on Forced Straight-Line Guidance for the Final Translation Phase of Spacecraft Rendezvous

Aimed at the problem of final translation of space rendezvous for the applications such as docking,inspection and tracking,optimal straight-line guidance algorithm based on pulse/continuous low-thrust in the context of Clohessy-Wiltshire dynamics is proposed.Two modes of guidance strategy:varying-speed and fixed-speed approaching scheme for V-bar and R-bar approach by using constant/finite low-thrust propulsion respectively are studied,and the corresponding fuel-optimal conditions are obtained.Numerical simulation is conducted to verify and test the proposed algorithms.The results show that there is generally no different between the fuel consumptions by using the two different approaching modes for V-bar case.However,the conclusion for Rbar case is different that the using of continuous low-thrust cost more fuel and transfer time.

A New Method for Locating Calculation of Arbitrary Spatial Straight Line or Plane in NC Machining

In the manufacturing process, we often encounter so me location machining of space arbitrary straight lines and planes that are not on ly unparalleled but also not vertical with the machine tool spindle or the cutti ng tool. In the past, we can do the location machining through the methods of dr awing line and making level in the ordinary machine tool. In the numerical contr ol machining of the CNC machine tool and manufacturing center, however, the spac e location and angle of the arbitrary straight lines and planes must be precisel y calculated in advance. So that precisely locating can be guaranteed in machini ng. Therefore, how to work out the space location angle of the arbitrary straigh t lines and planes to be machined both conveniently and precisely, turns out to be the must-be-solved chief problem in the numerical control machining. In thi s paper, through the deeply research of this problem, a new kind of calculating formula that calculates and defines the space location angle of the arbitrary st raight lines and planes by using the methods of analytic calculating. The formul a has been applied in the practical manufacturing calculation. It is proved that the new space angle calculating methods of arbitrary straight lines and planes is convenient in calculating and precise in locating. And it provides us a n ew, brief and precise calculating method in the numerical control machining of t he numerical control machine tool and manufacturing center.

Type Synthesis of Spatial Straight Line Mechanisms with only Revolute Joints

Spatial straight line mechanisms are a class of spatial mechanisms whose end-effectors generate the trajectory with the form of exact straight lines, which have potential applications in many industrial sectors. This study aims to synthesis the spatial straight line mechanisms with only revolute joints, meaning that no prismatic joints are included. According to the generalized function sets and the law of one dimensional rotation, the type of compositions of characteristic and the corresponding conditions are derived. Furthermore, some novel symmetrical and asymmetrical spatial straight line mechanisms are synthesized through assembling specific kinematic chains under the corresponding conditions. Finally, several synthesized spatial straight line mechanisms are illustrated to show the effectiveness of the synthesis methodology.

Influence of the Fitted Straight Line for Confidence Bands Algorithm in Q-Q Plots

Confidence bands in a Normal Q-Q Plot allow us to detect non-normality of a data set rigorously, and in such a way that the conclusion does not depend on the subjectivity of the observer of the graph. In the construction of the graph, it is usual to fit a straight line to the plotted points, which serves both to check the hypothesis of normality (linear configuration of the plotted points) and to produce estimates of the parameters of the distribution. We can opt for dif-ferent types of lines. In this paper, we study the influence of five types of fitted straight lines in a Normal Q-Q Plot used for construction the confidence bands based on the exact distribution of the order statistics.

Sectional Dimensions Identification of Metal Profile by Image Processing

In steel plants, estimation of the production system characteristic is highly critical to adjust the system parameters for best efficiency. Although the system parameters may be tuned very well, due to the machine and human factors involved in the production line some deficiencies may occur in product. It is important to detect such problems as early as possible. Surface defects and dimensional deviations are the most important quality problems. In this study, it is aimed to develop an approach to measure the dimensions of metal profiles by obtaining images of them. This will be of use in detecting the deviations in dimensions. A platform was introduced to simulate the real-time environment and images were taken from the metal profile using 4 laser light sources. The shape of the material is generated by combining the images taken from different cameras. Real dimensions were obtained by using image processing and mathematical conversion operations on the images. The results obtained with small deviations from the real values showed that this method can be applied in a real-time production line.

Description of a Propulsion Unit Used in Guiding a Walking Machine by Recognizing a Three-point Bordered Path

A reconfigurable propulsion unit based on the Peaucellier-Lipkin mechanism has the ability to describe exact straight or curved paths depending on the selected ratio between the lengths of two of its links. The Peaucellier-Lipkin mechanism with one degree of freedom is transformed into a more sophisticated parallel kinematic chain by including four more degrees of freedom. The resulting propulsion unit is able to adapt its kinematic structure and reach instant centers of rotation, in accordance with the presence of three points that border a geometric path. A laser sensor mounted on the body of the machine detects each point. Once the machine has detected the exact location of the border of the road, it walks along a curve parallel to that border. Although the proposed research describes only one propulsion unit or leg, the methodology can be applied to all the legs of the walking machine. The novel 5-DOF leg is able to reach different centers of rotation, providing either the concave or convex arcs that satisfy the basic principle of displacement of walking machines.

THE E_3~1 TYPE OF CUBIC SYSTEMS WITH TWO INTEGRAL STRAIGHT LINES

The existence and uniqueness of limit cycle for the E 1 3 type of cubic systems with two integral straight lines has been studied in this paper. It is found that the system has no limit cycle when the two integral straight lines intersect each other; it has a unique limit cycle when the two integral straight lines are paralleled. The sufficient and necessary conditions are also given to guarantee the existence of the unique limit cycle.

Research on Distance Judgement Method from Point to Line to Generate a Line

Regarding the problem that the traditional straight-line generating has a low accuracy, we study straightline generating with the distance of point to line. We explore generating a line to approximate the ideal line and the issue is to pick out the pixel point of approximating the ideal line. The paper plays a significant scientific role in elucidating linear optimization norm and it lays a foundation for showing a straight line. The algorithm is valuable for computer graphics.

Enclosing Ellipses by Folding Disks

Ellipses can be constructed by folding disks. These folds are forming an envelope of tangents to the ellipse. In the paper of Gorkin and Shaffer, it was shown that the ellipse constructed by folding can be circumscribed by an arbitrary triangle of tangents, the vertices of which are lying on the circumference of the disk. They offered two non-elementary methods of proof, one using Poncelet’s Theorem, the other employing Blaschke products. In this paper, it is the intention to present an elementary proof by means of analytic geometry.

Straight line detection from remote sensing images by rule-based feature fusion

Straight line detection is a fundamental problem in target recognition from remote sensing images since many man-made objects have straight boundaries.In this study,an integrated straight line detection method for remote sensing images is proposed.In this method,the edge-based straight lines are extracted using a chain code tracing method and the phasebased straight lines are extracted using a phase grouping method.The two types of lines are combined using a rule-based feature fusion method by removing redundant line extraction.Since this method integrates the specialties of edge-and phase-based straight line detection methods,it can detect straight lines from remote sensing images with high correctness and robustness.

Straight line closure for correction of congenital isolated bilateral macrostomia

Congenital bilateral macrostomia is a very rare deformity of the mouth,and it is still rarer to see cases of isolated bilateral macrostomia.Although the creation of a symmetric neocommissure is imperative,this presents a technical challenge.A review of the literature for surgical solutions revealed various techniques,but no cases in which a bilateral straight line repair was described and adopted.This report presents the case of a 3-month-old boy with isolated bilateral macrostomia for whom straight line closure was performed on both sides.At 1 year follow-up,the oral commissures are symmetric with aesthetically pleasing scars and no lateral migration.
