Performance of run-length limited (4, 18) code for optical storage systems

In this paper, the authors investigate the performance of recently presented run-length limited (4, 18) code for high density optical storage systems. The construction of the code is described simply. The code has code rate R = 1/3 and density ratio (DR) = 1.67. The bit error rate (BER) performance for decision feedback equalizer (DFE) and partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) detector are simulated, considering signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and optical channel jitter. The result shows that the performance of the code is acceptable. The encoder and decoder of the code are implemented by complex programmable logic device (CPLD) chip and the hardware resources required for encoder and decoder arelow.

Preparation and characterization of biodegradable magnetic carriers by single emulsion-solvent evaporation

This paper describes a single emulsion-solvent evaporation protocol to prepare PEGylated biodegradable/biocompatible magnetic carriers by utilizing hydrophobic magnetite and a mixture of poly(D,L lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and poly(lactic acid-block-polyethylene glycol) (PLA-PEG) (26:1 by mass) polymers. We characterized the magnetic microspheres in terms of morphology, composite microstructure, size and size distribution, and magnetic properties. Results show that the preparation produces magnetic microspheres with a good spherical morphology, small size (mean diameter of 1.2–1.5 μm) by means of large size distributions, and magnetizations up to 20–30 emu/g of microspheres.     

Theoretical analysis of a simple yet efficient portable magnetic separator design for separation of magnetic nano/micro-carriers from human blood flow

A technology that could physically remove substances from the blood such as biological, chemical, or radiological toxins could dramatically improve treatment of disease. One method in development proposes to use magnetic-polymer spheres to selectively bind toxins and remove them by magnetic filtration. Although magnetic filtration is a developed technology, the clinical boundary conditions described here require a new filter design. We investigated the removal of toxin-bound magnetic carriers from the blood stream using 2-D FEMLAB simulations. The magnetic separator consisted of a permanent magnet with parallel ferromagnetic prisms on the faces and in contact with a straight tube carrying the magnetic-polymer spheres in suspension. We varied the following parameters: blood flow velocity, the size, and number of ferromagnetic prisms, and the ferromagnetic material in both prisms and magnets. The capture efficiency reached maximum values when the depth of the prisms equaled the diameter of the tubing and the saturation magnetization of the prism material equaled twice that of the magnet. With this design a piece of 2 mm (diameter) tube carrying the fluid resulted in 95% capture of 2.0 μm magnetic-polymer spheres at 10 cm/s flow velocity.     

Watermarks encrypted in the cascaded Fresnel digital hologram

A cascaded Fresnel digital hologram (CFDH) is proposed, together with its mathematical derivation. Its application to watermarking has been demonstrated by a simulation procedure, in which the watermark image to be hidden is encoded into the phase of the host image. The watermark image can be deciphered by the CFDH setup, the reconstructed image shows good quality and the error is almost closed to zeros. Compared with previous technique, this is a lensless architecture, which minimizes the hardware requirement.

喷水室典型空气处理过程中空气流速的实验研究

针对纺织厂空调系统的核心-喷水室,研究喷水室内处理空气的冷却减湿和等焓加湿两个典型热湿交换过程。提出Re准数对传热传质有显著作用,而Re数的大小取决于流体速度。通过实验研究当空气流速从3m/s提高到5m/s时对喷水室热湿交换性能的影响,从而确定空气流动速度因素对两个热湿交换效率的影响趋势。根据拟合的数学曲线,总结出当空气的流动速度提高后,热湿交换效率相应提高。从而推动高速喷水室在实际工程中的应用。     

Target Syntheses of Two New Bivanadyl Capped Keggin Polyoxometalate Derivatives

Two new bivanadyl capped Keggin polyoxometalate-based inorganic–organic hybrid compounds, [M(2,2′-bipy)₂(H₂O)]₂[AsMo₁₂O₄₀(VO)₂]}(M = Co 1, Zn 2; bipy = bipyridine), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions by directly using Li₃[AsMo₁₂O₄₀] · nH₂O as starting materials. Single crystal X-ray analysis revealed that compounds 1 and 2 were isostructural, consisting of a neutral bivanadyl capped Keggin POMs bigrafted by [M(2,2′-bipy)₂(H₂O)]²⁺ fragments. Other characterizations by elemental analysis, IR spectra, XPS spectra, power X-ray diffraction and TG analysis were also described in the paper. The study of the electrochemical properties of compounds 1 and 2 exhibit similar redox behaviors, undergoing three two-electron reversible redox processes, and the electrocatalysis of 1 has also been studied in detail.
