Research on the fault diagnosis technology of intermittent connection failure belonging to FPGA solder-joints in BGA package

A new method to detect intermittent faults in FPGA (field programmable gate array) of BGA (ball grid array) packages is presented. Inject proper current into measured IO port via sensor circuit, the intermittent faults will arouse impedance of the solder-joint to change intermittently, the voltage of solder-joint will also change intermittently, the fault information can be obtained through regulating the voltage signal. Compared with current monitoring method based on degradation model, this scheme is more reliable and accurate. It can prevent the catastrophic faults caused by failure of the FPGA solder-joints effectively, as well as economize the maintenance cost.     

Ultrasonic welding of CF/PPS composites with integrated triangular energy directors: melting,flow and weld strength development

This paper presents a fully experimental study on melting, flow and weld strength development during ultrasonic welding of CF/PPS composites with integrated triangular energy directors. The main goal of this research was assessing whether the heating time to achieve maximum weld strength could be significantly reduced as compared to ultrasonic welding with flat energy directors. The main conclusion is that, in the specific case under study, the triangular energy directors did heat up, melt and collapse approximately two times faster than the time it took for the flat energy directors to melt and significantly flow. However the heating time needed to achieve maximum weld strength for the integrated triangular energy directors did not differ drastically from that for flat energy directors. This was caused by the fact that a fully welded overlap was not directly achieved right after the collapsing of the triangular energy directors. Instead a solidified resin-rich interface was created which needed to be re-melted as a whole in order to achieve a fully welded overlap and hence maximum weld strength.     

A ferroelectric liquid crystal spatial light modulator encoded with orthogonal arrays and its optimized design for laser speckle reduction

In laser projectors, speckle reduction can be achieved by projecting a changing binary phase diffuser onto the screen. Here, we sequentially encoded a commercialized ferroelectric liquid crystal spatial light modulator (FLC-SLM) with the rows of a two-level orthogonal array of order sixty-four, thus obtaining a changing binary phase diffuser. With the help of this binary phase diffuser, the subjective speckle contrast ratio on the screen is reduced from C_b=0.71 to C_a=0.1. Based on the experimental results, a simplified transparent FLC-SLM design is first proposed. This newly designed FLC-SLM has two phase modulation depths and can be driven with the passive matrix addressing scheme. Therefore, the control electronics of the proposed FLC-SLM can be significantly simplified compared to the currently used one.

针对管道内低频噪声难以抑制的问题，本文基于亥姆霍兹共振腔（HR）阵列吸声板和穿孔管消声器组合，设计了一种复合式宽带消声器。首先利用有限元法仿真分析传统穿孔管消声器，发现中低频消声能力较差，通过嵌入HR阵列吸声板吸收中低频噪声。采用仿真与实验的方式研究吸声板的声学性能：在400-1000 Hz频段内的平均吸声系数达到了0.88。然后对复合式消声器进行数值模拟及3D打印阻抗管实验测试对比：复合式消声器在400-1718Hz频率范围内的平均传递损失为18.15 dB ，最终实现了管道内全频带噪声有效控制。     

A new technique for determination of melting temperature of poly(ethylene glycol) by ultrasonic velocimetry

Ultrasonic velocity and density of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) (mol. wt. 2000 and 8000) solutions in water and benzene have been studied as a function of temperature from which respective isentropic compressibility has also been calculated. The velocity (as well as isentropic compressibility) undergoes a sudden change near melting temperature, T _m, of the solute polymer. Normally, we expect only one peak in viscoelastic properties at the T _m of PEG. However, we see two peaks (T _m1 and T _m2) in the case of the aqueous solution of PEG while there is only one peak for the case of benzene solution. This has been interpreted on the basis that one of the peaks (T _m1) is for unsolvated PEG and the other peak (T _m2) is that of PEG with water solvation shell. Such solvation shell is not formed with the aprotic solvent (benzene).     

Frequency Downconverting Fiber Grating-Based Beamformers for High-Capacity Phased Arrays

A technique is presented to remove the beat noise limitation in multibeam beam formers using a simple all-optical microwave frequency downconversion technique prior to performing the true-time delay equalization in the optical domain. The frequency conversion concept enables a significant increase in beam-number capac ity to be achieved due to the elimination of beat noise limits, and also effectively removes the power penalty due to chromatic dispersion limitations of the chirped grating units in the beamformer. The Bragg grating requirements for the frequency converting beamforming network are analyzed and show that tanh-profile apodized gratings can meet the isolation, reflectivity, and narrow bandwidth requirements. For an X-band phased array, more than a twofold increase in beam capacity is shown through the use of the frequency conversion technique with the grating-based beamformer, and the resulting beamformer has the minimum number of optical interconnects with true-time delay operation.     

Phase-locking of a multi-channel radial array CO2 laser

A theoretical analysis of phase-locking in a multi-channel radial array CO₂ laser is presented. The concepts are based on the theories of injection phase-locking and matrix optics. The mutual optical coupling occurring within the central region is demonstrated by theoretical deduction. Interrelated graphs of the coupling coefficient and the distance between the coupling position and the cavity mirror are calculated by numerical simulation. The results of the analysis are in accord with experimental results.     

Discussion of the metric in characterizing the single-event effect induced by heavy ions

The single-event effect(SEE) is the most serious problem in space environment.The modern semiconductor technology is concerned with the feasibility of the linear energy transfer(LET) as metric in characterizing SEE induced by heavy ions.In this paper,we calibrate the detailed static random access memory(SRAM) cell structure model of an advanced field programmable gate array(FPGA) device using the computer-aided design tool,and calculate the heavy ion energy loss in multi-layer metal utilizing Geant4.Based on the heavy ion accelerator experiment and numerical simulation,it is proved that the metric of LET at the device surface,ignoring the top metal material in the advanced semiconductor device,would underestimate the SEE.In the SEE evaluation in space radiation environment the top-layers on the semiconductor device must be taken into consideration.

微槽式光学谐振腔超声传感效应验证*

摘 要：光学微腔的高灵敏度主要源于其结构在时间和空间上对光场的局域增强作用和频率选择作用。其结构在垂直于波导方向上形成了高反射的边界,形成了一种回声腔,使得光在波导内来回反射,从而增强了波导内部的光场强度。当外界存在微小的压力波动时,它将引起波导内部的介电常数和压力场的变化,从而改变了谐振腔内的模式场分布和传输特性,据此可以实现对微小的压力波动进行高灵敏度检测。本文设计了一种高品质因子（Q）的光波导微槽式环形谐振腔超声传感器,完成器件制备并搭建了测试系统,依据倏逝波效应实现了超声探测。测试结果表明,该传感器的品质因子为1.38×107,在800 kHz ~1 MHz范围内响应平坦,在900 kHz的信噪比可以达到27 dB,灵敏度达到 -168 dB。本文设计的传感器可以为水声探测等领域的研究提供关键技术支持。
