Specifically, this paper proposes a methodology for calculating the maximum network throughput of multiple transmission tasks under storage and delay constraints over a space network. A mixed-integer linear programming （MILP） is formulated to solve this problem. Simula- tions results show that the proposed methodology can successfully calculate the optimal throughput of a space network under storage and delay constraints, as well as a clear, monotonic relationship between end-to-end delay and the maximum network throughput under storage constraints. At the same time, the optimization re- sults shine light on the routing and transport protocol design in space communication, which can be used to obtain the optimal network throughput.展开更多

Packet delay and throughput are commonly employed as assessment criterions to determine whether a new connection can be admitted into the WLAN. Considering the real network condition, the analytical model is presented in this paper, which is aimed to evaluate the packet delay and throughput performance of IEEE 802.11 WLAN in nonsaturated conditions, taking into account diverse transmission rates and diverse traffic flows (i.e. flows with different packet sizes and arrival rates) simultaneously. This model is based on Markov chain and the theoretical predictions are verified by simulation in OPNET 14.5. We also analyze the influences of transmission rate diversity and traffic flow diversity on throughput performance. It is observed that, the presence of even one station with lower transmission rate can cause a considerable degradation in throughput performance of all the stations when they have the same packet size and arrival rate. Higher system throughput can be achieved if lower transmission rate stations transmit packets with smaller size or arrival rate.展开更多

The sampling system was composed of a capillary sampling probe attached to the microchip channel and an array of horizontally positioned micro-sample vials with slits fabricated on the bottom of each vial for pass-through of the sampling probe. The micro-sample vials array was fixed on a homebuilt platform capable of moving linearly under computer control. Sample introduction was performed by linearly moving the array of vials,allowing the probe inlet to sequentially enter the solutions in the vials through the slits. The use of a slotted vial array in the sample introduction system allowed convenient and rapid sample change with low sample volume in 10\+\{-9\} L range and high sampling frequency without requiring mechanical valves and pumps. The system was applied to achieve continuously automated sample change in a chip-based flow injection analysis system with absorption detection by using a liquid-core waveguide capillary flow-cell. High sampling throughput of 600 h -1 was obtained in this system with a sample consumption of only 4.3 nL for each cycle.展开更多
