Existing gesture action recognition (GAR) methods typically analyze visual and skeletal data,failing to meet the demands of various scenarios. Furthermore, multi-modal approaches lack the versatility toefficiently process both uniformand disparate input patterns.Thus, in this paper, an attention-enhanced pseudo-3Dresidual model is proposed to address the GAR problem, called HgaNets. This model comprises two independentcomponents designed formodeling visual RGB (red, green and blue) images and 3Dskeletal heatmaps, respectively.More specifically, each component consists of two main parts: 1) a multi-dimensional attention module forcapturing important spatial, temporal and feature information in human gestures;2) a spatiotemporal convolutionmodule that utilizes pseudo-3D residual convolution to characterize spatiotemporal features of gestures. Then,the output weights of the two components are fused to generate the recognition results. Finally, we conductedexperiments on four datasets to assess the efficiency of the proposed model. The results show that the accuracy onfour datasets reaches 85.40%, 91.91%, 94.70%, and 95.30%, respectively, as well as the inference time is 0.54 s andthe parameters is 2.74M. These findings highlight that the proposed model outperforms other existing approachesin terms of recognition accuracy.展开更多

The current and effective power signals from an elevator traction machine are collected to generate gray-scale binary images. The improved two-dimensional convolution neural network is used to extract deep features from the images for classification, so as to recognize the elevator working conditions. Furthermore, the oscillation criterion is proposed to describe and analyze the active power oscillations. The current and active power are used to synchronously describe the working condition of the elevator, which can explain the co-occurrence state and potential relationship of elevator data. Based on the improved integration of local features of the time series, the recognition accuracy of the proposed 2DCNN is 97.78%, which is better than that of a one-dimensional convolution neural network. This research can improve the real-time monitoring and visual analysis performance of the elevator maintenance personnel, as well as improve their work efficiency.展开更多

In this study, quartz sand acted as frame structure phase in the matrix, and quartz addition also infl uenced the Si/Ca of starting material. Tobermorite and CSH gel were formed readily at 62%, which seemed to enhance the compressive strength of samples. Curing time seemed to affect the morphology of phase produced, and specimen with the plate-like tobermorite formed at 10 h appeared to have a better compressive strength development than the fiber-like one at 18 h. The higher curing temperature seemed to favor the tobermorite and CSH gel formation, which also exerted a significant effect on the strength development of the samples. On the micro-scale, the formed CSH gel was filled in the interface of the matrix, and the tobermorite appeared to grow in internal-surface of the pores and interstices. The tobermorite or/and CSH formation seemed to densify the matrix, and therefore enhanced the strength of the samples.展开更多

The total ionization dose(TID) effects on CTM cells with Al_2O_3/HfO_2/Al_2O_3(AHA) high-k gate stack structure under in-situ 10 keV x-rays are studied. The C-V characteristics at different radiation doses demonstrate that charge stored in the device continues to be leaked away during the irradiation,thereby inducing the shift of flat band voltage(V_(fb)). The dc memory window shows insignificant changes, suggesting the existence of good P/E ability. Furthermore, the physical mechanisms of TID induced radiation damages in AHA-based CTM are analyzed.展开更多

The threshold voltage and off-state current of memory cells before and after radiation are measured. The experimental results show that the memory cells in pulse mode have a better radiation-hard capability. The normalized memory window still remains at 60% for cells in dc mode and 76% for cells in pulse mode after 300 krad(Si) radiation. The charge loss process physical mechanisms of programmed SONOS devices during radiation are analyzed.展开更多

Furthermore,the effects of the sampling period on the tracking performance are analysed.It turns out that from the view point of the sampling period,there is a trade-off between the tracking speed and the static tracking error. Simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.展开更多

文摘Recognition of human gesture actions is a challenging issue due to the complex patterns in both visual andskeletal features. Existing gesture action recognition (GAR) methods typically analyze visual and skeletal data,failing to meet the demands of various scenarios. Furthermore, multi-modal approaches lack the versatility toefficiently process both uniformand disparate input patterns.Thus, in this paper, an attention-enhanced pseudo-3Dresidual model is proposed to address the GAR problem, called HgaNets. This model comprises two independentcomponents designed formodeling visual RGB (red, green and blue) images and 3Dskeletal heatmaps, respectively.More specifically, each component consists of two main parts: 1) a multi-dimensional attention module forcapturing important spatial, temporal and feature information in human gestures;2) a spatiotemporal convolutionmodule that utilizes pseudo-3D residual convolution to characterize spatiotemporal features of gestures. Then,the output weights of the two components are fused to generate the recognition results. Finally, we conductedexperiments on four datasets to assess the efficiency of the proposed model.

文摘Chinese rice wine making is a typical simultaneous saccharification and fermentation(SSF) process.During the fermentation process,temperature is one of the key parameters which decide the quality of Chinese rice wine.To optimize the SSF process for Chinese rice wine brewing,the effects of temperature on the kinetic parameters of yeast growth and ethanol production at various temperatures were determined in batch cultures using a mathematical model.The kinetic parameters as a function of temperature were evaluated using the software Origin8.0.Combing these functions with the mathematical model,an appropriate form of the model equations for the SSF considering the effects of temperature were developed.The kinetic parameters were found to fit the experimental data satisfactorily with the developed temperature-dependent model.The temperature profile for maximizing the ethanol production for rice wine fermentation was determined by genetic algorithm.The optimum temperature profile began at a low temperature of 26 °C up to 30 h.The operating temperature increased rapidly to 31.9 °C,and then decreased slowly to 18 °C at 65 h.Thereafter,the temperature was maintained at18 °C until the end of fermentation.A maximum ethanol production of 89.3 g·L^(-1)was attained.Conceivably,our model would facilitate the improvement of Chinese rice wine production at the industrial scale.

文摘Synthesis of autoclaved aerated concrete(AAC) has been carried out with carbide slag addition, and the carbide slag could be used as a main material to produce the AAC with the compressive strength about 2 MPa and the density below 0.6 g?cm-3. In this study, quartz sand acted as frame structure phase in the matrix, and quartz addition also infl uenced the Si/Ca of starting material. Tobermorite and CSH gel were formed readily at 62%, which seemed to enhance the compressive strength of samples. Curing time seemed to affect the morphology of phase produced, and specimen with the plate-like tobermorite formed at 10 h appeared to have a better compressive strength development than the fiber-like one at 18 h. The higher curing temperature seemed to favor the tobermorite and CSH gel formation, which also exerted a significant effect on the strength development of the samples. On the micro-scale, the formed CSH gel was filled in the interface of the matrix, and the tobermorite appeared to grow in internal-surface of the pores and interstices. The tobermorite or/and CSH formation seemed to densify the matrix, and therefore enhanced the strength of the samples.

文摘This paper investigates the consensus tracking problems of second-order multi-agent systems with a virtual leader via event-triggered control. A novel distributed event-triggered transmission scheme is proposed, which is intermittently examined at constant sampling instants. Only partial neighbor information and local measurements are required for event detection. Then the corresponding event-triggered consensus tracking protocol is presented to guarantee second-order multi-agent systems to achieve consensus tracking. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

文摘Model predictive current control(MPCC)and model predictive torque control(MPTC)are two derivatives of model predictive control.These two control methods have demonstrated their strengths in the fault-tolerant control of multiphase motor drives.To explore the inherent link,the pros and cons of two strategies,the performance analysis and comparative investigation of MPCC and MPTC are conducted through a five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor with open-phase fault.In MPCC,the currents of fundamental and harmonic subspaces are simultaneously employed and constrained for a combined regulation of the open-circuit fault drive.In MPTC,apart from the torque and the stator flux related to fundamental subspace,the x-y currents are also considered and predicted to achieve the control of harmonic subspace.The principles of two methods are demonstrated in detail and the link is explored in terms of the cost function.Besides,the performance by two methods is experimentally assessed in terms of steady-state,transition,and dynamic tests.Finally,the advantages and disadvantages of each method are concluded.

文摘In this paper we provide a unified framework for consensus tracking of leader-follower multi-agent systems with measurement noises based on sampled data with a general sampling delay. First, a stochastic bounded consensus tracking protocol based on sampled data with a general sampling delay is presented by employing the delay decomposition technique. Then, necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for guaranteeing leader-follower multi-agent systems with measurement noises and a time-varying reference state to achieve mean square bounded consensus tracking. The obtained results cover no sampling delay, a small sampling delay and a large sampling delay as three special cases. Last, simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

文摘Because of the discrete charge storage mechanism, charge trapping memory(CTM) technique is a good candidate for aerospace and military missions. The total ionization dose(TID) effects on CTM cells with Al_2O_3/HfO_2/Al_2O_3(AHA) high-k gate stack structure under in-situ 10 keV x-rays are studied. The C-V characteristics at different radiation doses demonstrate that charge stored in the device continues to be leaked away during the irradiation,thereby inducing the shift of flat band voltage(V_(fb)). The dc memory window shows insignificant changes, suggesting the existence of good P/E ability. Furthermore, the physical mechanisms of TID induced radiation damages in AHA-based CTM are analyzed.

文摘The ^(60)Co-γ ray total ionizing dose radiation responses of 55-nm silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon(SONOS) memory cells in pulse mode(programmed/erased with pulse voltage) and dc mode(programmed/erased with direct voltage sweeping) are investigated. The threshold voltage and off-state current of memory cells before and after radiation are measured. The experimental results show that the memory cells in pulse mode have a better radiation-hard capability. The normalized memory window still remains at 60% for cells in dc mode and 76% for cells in pulse mode after 300 krad(Si) radiation. The charge loss process physical mechanisms of programmed SONOS devices during radiation are analyzed.

文摘This paper is concerned with the stochastic bounded consensus tracking problems of leader-follower multi-agent systems,where the control input of an agent can only use the information measured at the sampling instants from its neighbours or the virtual leader with a time-varying reference state,and the measurements are corrupted by random noises.The probability limit theory and the algebra graph theory are employed to derive the necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing the mean square bounded consensus tracking.It is shown that the maximum allowable upper boundary of the sampling period simultaneously depends on the constant feedback gains and the network topology. Furthermore,the effects of the sampling period on the tracking performance are analysed.It turns out that from the view point of the sampling period,there is a trade-off between the tracking speed and the static tracking error. Simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

文摘The application of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)-mounted base stations is emerging as an effective solution to provide wireless communication service for a target region containing some smart objects(SOs)in internet of things(IoT).This paper investigates the efficient deployment problem of multiple UAVs for IoT communication in dynamic environment.We first define a measurement of communication performance of UAVto-SO in the target region which is regarded as the optimization objective.The state of one SO is active when it needs to transmit or receive the data;otherwise,silent.The switch of two different states is implemented with a certain probability that results in a dynamic communication environment.In the dynamic environment,the active states of SOs cannot be known by UAVs in advance and only neighbouring UAVs can communicate with each other.To overcome these challenges in the deployment,we leverage a game-theoretic learning approach to solve the position-selected problem.This problem is modeled a stochastic game,which is proven that it is an exact potential game and exists the best Nash equilibria(NE).Furthermore,a distributed position optimization algorithm is proposed,which can converge to a pure-strategy NE.Numerical results demonstrate the excellent performance of our proposed algorithm.

文摘The analytic formulae of probability distribution of spiral plane modes for the Whittaker-Gaussian(WG) beams with orbital angular momentum(OAM) in strong turbulence regime are modeled based on the modified Rytov approximation.Numerical results show that the crosstalk range of OAM modes in the vicinity of signal mode increases with the increasing refractive-index construction parameter.However,effects of change of the width of the Gaussian envelope and the parameter Wo of WG beams on normalization energy weight of signal mode can be ignored.We find theoretically that signal spiral plane mode of WG beams at each OAM level approximatively has the same normalization energy weight,inaplying that the channels with WG(pseudo non-diffraction) beam have higher channel capacity than the channels with the Laguerre-Gaussian beam.

文摘In this paper, consensus problems of heterogeneous multi-agent systems based on sampled data with a small sampling delay are considered. First, a consensus protocol based on sampled data with a small sampling delay for heterogeneous multi-agent systems is proposed. Then, the algebra graph theory, the matrix method, the stability theory of linear systems,and some other techniques are employed to derive the necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing heterogeneous multi-agent systems to asymptotically achieve the stationary consensus. Finally, simulations are performed to demonstrate the correctness of the theoretical results.
