通信网络中的GPS/TDOA混合定位算法

提出了一种混合GPS/TDOA的泰勒级数-最小二乘算法,在GPS和TDOA定位方法都无法独立定位时实现了定位.算法先将GPS伪距观测方程做单差运算、消除钟差,然后与TDOA双曲线方程组合,一起进行泰勒级数展开得到组合后的线性方程组,再利用最小二乘的方法迭代估计出终端位置.验证该算法的实验结果表明,GPS伪距观测量越多时,定位精度越高;相反,由于TDOA观测量NLOS误差较大,TDOA观测量越多时,精度越差.因此实施该算法时,GPS伪距观测量作为输入应全部采用;在保证能够定位的前提下,应尽量少用TDOA观测量.试验所得混合定位结果的最大误差为231.52 m,最佳条件下所得均方根误差为33.80m,能够满足某些精度要求不高,而又必需位置信息的定位应用需求.

Study of electrochemical performances of multi-doped spinel Li1.1Mn1.85Co0.075Ni0.075O4 at 4.3 and 5 V

Li_1.1Mn_2???2x Co _x Ni _x O₄ (x?=?0, 0.075) spinel powders were successfully synthesized using a liquid stirred tank reactor method. The electrochemical performances of the undoped and doped spinels at 4.3 and 5 V were investigated by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The capacity of Li_1.1Mn_2???2x Co _x Ni _x O₄ could be divided into two parts, with 4.3 V as the dividing line in the 3–5 V charge–discharge range. Low capacity and good cyclic performance were obtained when cycled in the 3–4.3 V range for the multi-doped Li_1.1Mn_2???2x Co _x Ni _x O₄ spinel. In comparison with multi-doped spinel at 4.3 V, the results of the cyclic performance worsened at 5 V because the structure underwent further shrinkage, the charge transfer resistance rose and the electrolyte decomposed.     

Effect of alloy formation processes in the Co-Cu system on the magnetic and magnetoresistance properties of multilayer Co/Cu films with ultrathin Co layers prepared by DC magnetron sputtering

This paper reports on a study of multilayer Co/Cu films with an effective thickness of the Co layer of ～3.5 Å, which were prepared by magnetron sputtering. The samples prepared have been found to have a metastable multiphase structure. An analysis of the data obtained by structural and, primarily, by magnetic methods has revealed that the main phases are the Co/Cu supersaturated solid solution (alloy) with a Co concentration of about 30 at %, the superparamagnetic phase, and the paramagnetic phase, which is accounted for by the presence of small (a few atoms at most) Co clusters embedded in the Cu matrix. A clearly pronounced maximum in the temperature dependences of the low-field magnetoresistance has been found, which is associated with the temperature of the magnetic phase transition of the supersaturated Co-Cu alloy.     

A nano-porous TiO2 thin film coating method for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using electrostatic spraying with dye solution

The dye coloring process on a nano-porous TiO₂ thin film for DSSCs was studied using an electrostatic spraying (ESS) method. In this study, dye coating experiments were performed using homemade ESS equipment. The coating patterns on the TiO₂ thin film are changed by adjusting the applied voltages of the ESS system. The geometry of the coating patterns is observed by a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. The TiO₂ thin film is fabricated by controlling the electric field which allows a uniform color distribution to be obtained with a high dyeing capacity. The colored TiO₂ thin films are compared with those obtained using a conventional immersed dye solution by means of an UV–vis spectrometer. The performance of this novel coloring process was confirmed by measuring I–V curve characteristics.     

Contribution of electrolyte pH and deposition potentials to the magnetic anisotropy of electrodeposited nickel films

The influence of electrolyte pH and cathode potential on the magnetic properties of single layer Nickel films electrodeposited on polycrystalline titanium substrates was studied. The films were deposited at the electrolyte pH=3.5±0.1, 2.5±0.1 and 2.1±0.1 by varying the deposition potentials (?1.2, ?1.5 and ?1.8 V vs saturated calomel electrode, SCE) applied in continuous waveform. The structural analysis by X-ray diffraction revealed that the films have face-centred cubic structure. Results of the magnetic measurements obtained by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) indicated that the magnetic properties were affected by the electrolyte pH and the cathode potentials in terms of magnetic anisotropy. At the highest pH the films deposited at the lowest potential had in-plane magnetic anisotropy. As the electrolyte pH decreased from the high (pH=3.5±0.1) to low (pH=2.5±0.1), which is aided by increasing the potentials, resulted in an almost magnetic isotropy in the films. However, isotropic magnetic behaviour was observed for the film deposited at the low pH combined with the high potential (?1.8 V vs SCE). Magnetic thickness profile of the samples obtained by VSM revealed that the isotropic films have a smoother magnetic variation across the film from one edge than the anisotropic ones. This is also verified with a microscopic observation by an optical microscope and the surface of the isotropic films is observed to be smoother than that of the anisotropic ones. Furthermore, all films were found to have planar magnetic anisotropy irrespective of the pH’s and the potentials.     

Measuring full static displacements of cable domes based only on limited tested locations

The existing cable domes are normally faced with the possible deterioration of the structural stiffness which is caused by random member damages and pretension deviations. The static testing method can be potentially used in monitoring the structural stiffness, in which the tested locations are normally limited. To improve the testing efficiency and decrease the testing cost, a method to expand the limited static displacements is proposed. Based on the eigen-decomposition of the structural stiffness, the unified expression of the static displacements under a specific load is derived, in which the static displacements are approximately described as a linear combination of only a few same eigenvectors (i.e. contribution eigenvectors) for both the ideal structure and a random real structure. Therefore, the problem of expanding static displacements is transformed to obtain the combinational coefficients of the contribution eigenvectors. An iterative strategy based on the Fisher information matrix comprised of contribution eigenvectors is then suggested to optimize the tested locations and to obtain the unbiased combinational coefficients. A Geiger cable dome is numerically analysed. The results show that the unified expression of the static displacements under a specific load is correct, and good expansion results are obtained by the proposed method.     

Equivalences and differences in conic relaxations of combinatorial quadratic optimization problems

Various conic relaxations of quadratic optimization problems in nonnegative variables for combinatorial optimization problems, such as the binary integer quadratic problem, quadratic assignment problem (QAP), and maximum stable set problem have been proposed over the years. The binary and complementarity conditions of the combinatorial optimization problems can be expressed in several ways, each of which results in different conic relaxations. For the completely positive, doubly nonnegative and semidefinite relaxations of the combinatorial optimization problems, we discuss the equivalences and differences among the relaxations by investigating the feasible regions obtained from different representations of the combinatorial condition which we propose as a generalization of the binary and complementarity condition. We also study theoretically the issue of the primal and dual nondegeneracy, the existence of an interior solution and the size of the relaxations, as a result of different representations of the combinatorial condition. These characteristics of the conic relaxations affect the numerical efficiency and stability of the solver used to solve them. We illustrate the theoretical results with numerical experiments on QAP instances solved by SDPT3, SDPNAL+ and the bisection and projection method.
