Whole-field determination of isoclinic parameter by five-step color phase shifting and its error analysis

Combining color imaging with phase shifting, a technique named five-step color phase shifting is presented to determine the whole-field isoclinic parameter. Relevant theory is derived and explicit conditions for directly determining the isoclinic parameter in the range of [0,π/2] are given. The unloaded light intensity of the model is systematically studied. A color camera recorded five isoclinic images coupled with isochromatics from a plane polariscope with five different settings, respectively. Experiments have been carried out with a circular disk under diametral compression and errors have been analyzed and estimated. This technique utilizes white light, which avoids undefined isoclinics near the locations where the isochromatics exist and will have active effect on experimental stress analysis and structural strength design.     

Hybrid inorganic/organic interpenetrating polymer networks based on zeolite 13x and polystyrene

A hybrid inorganic/organic interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) of a three-dimensional network structure zeolite crystal (13X, powder) and crosslinked or linear polystyrene (PS) was prepared and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), solid-state¹³C-NMR, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The size and shape of the crystalline zeolite particles were revealed on SEM micrographs in both the pure zeolite and the IPNs. Solubility tests and the results of DSC with solid-state ¹³C-NMR confirm that some organic PS chains are incorporated within the internal three-dimensional channels of the zeolite particles. We speculate that the internal PS chains may adopt an extended “one-dimensional” conformation and exhibit no bulk polymer glass transition. These novel hybrid inorganic/organic IPNs are a new kind of IPN structure. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A globally convergent algorithm for the Euclidean multiplicity location problem

The Euclidean single facility location problem (ESFL) and the Euclidean multiplicity location problem (EMFL) are two special nonsmooth convex programming problems which have attracted a large literature. For the ESFL problem, there are algorithms which converge both globally and quadratically. For the EMFL problem, there are some quadratically convergent algorithms, but for global convergence, they all need nontrivial assumptions on the problem.In this paper, we present an algorithm for EMFL. With no assumption on the problem, it is proved that from any initial point, this algorithm generates a sequence of points which converges to the closed convex set of optimal solutions of EMFL.This research is supported in part by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research Grant AFOSR-87-0127, the National Science Foundation Grant DCR-8420935 and University of Minnesota Graduate School Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship awarded to G.L.

A global optimization design for quasi-optics power combiner of 3mm wave solid-state sources

This paper describes a global optimization design for quasi-optics power combiner of solid-state millimeter-wave sources. The operating frequency is about 100 GHz and the oscillating sources are GaAs Gunn diodes. The source-array plane is a matrix consisting of NxN (N=3,5, ..., 2k+1, where k is positive integer) diodes. The radio frequency power of the combiner is from threefold to sevenfold larger than the sum total of the single diodes power. The global optimums of the array and the location in the cuvity of the suorce-array plane will be given by a global optimizition method.

Frame Wavelets with Compact Supports for L^2（R^n）

The construction of frame wavelets with compact supports is a meaningful problem in wavelet analysis. In particular, it is a hard work to construct the frame wavelets with explicit analytic forms. For a given n × n real expansive matrix A, the frame-sets with respect to A are a family of sets in R^n. Based on the frame-sets, a class of high-dimensional frame wavelets with analytic forms are constructed, which can be non-bandlimited, or even compactly supported. As an application, the construction is illustrated by several examples, in which some new frame wavelets with compact supports are constructed. Moreover, since the main result of this paper is about general dilation matrices, in the examples we present a family of frame wavelets associated with some non-integer dilation matrices that is meaningful in computational geometry.     

Microscopically structural studies of lithium niobate powders

On the basis of the crystallographic characteristics of lithium niobate (LN) crystals, Law of Bravais and Pauling's third rule (i.e. Polyhedral Sharing Rule) are employed with the aim to find the relationship between the crystal structure and morphological faces of LN powders. In order to validate our analytical results, we have successfully synthesized LN powders and measured the corresponding X-ray powder diffraction. Our results show that the structural analysis is consistent with the experimental data and is helpful and effective for us to control the single-crystal growth and to design superstructures at the specific plane, starting from the viewpoint of the microscopic behaviors of constituent chemical bonds and polyhedra in the crystallographic frame.     

Synthesis of grafted poly(p‐phenyleneethynylene) with energy donor–acceptor architecture via atom transfer radical polymerization: Towards nonaggregating and hole‐facilitating light‐emitting material

In this contribution, we demonstrate a new effective methodology for constructing highly efficient and durable poly(p‐phenyleneethynylene) (PPE) containing emissive material with nonaggregating and hole‐facilitating properties through the introduction of hole‐transporting blocks into the PPE system as the grafting coils as well as building the energy donor–acceptor architecture between the grafting coils and the PPE backbone. Poly(2‐(carbazol‐9‐yl)ethyl methacrylate) (PCzEMA), herein, is chosen as the hole‐transporting blocks, and incorporated into the PPE system as the grafting coils via atom transfer radical polymerization. The chemical structure of the resultant copolymer, PPE‐g‐PCzEMA, was characterized by NMR and gel permeation chromatography, showing that the desirable copolymer was obtained with the narrow polydispersity. The increased thermal stability of PPE‐g‐PCzEMA was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry along with its macroinitiator. The optoelectronic properties of this copolymer were studied in detail by ultraviolet‐visible absorption, photoluminescence emission and excitation spectra, and cyclic voltammogram (CV). The results indicate that PPE‐g‐PCzEMA exhibits the solid‐state luminescent property dominated by individual lumophores, and also the energy transfer process from the PCzEMA blocks to the PPE backbone with a relatively higher energy transfer efficiency in the solid‐state compared to that of the solution state. Additionally, the hole‐injection property is greatly facilitated due to the presence of PCzEMA, as confirmed by CV profiles. All these data indicate that PPE‐g‐PCzEMA is a good candidate for use in optoelectronic devices. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 45: 3776–3787, 2007
