航天器间相对位置姿态的准确测量是实现自主自动对接的先决条件。将三圆标志靶安装在目标航天器上;追踪航天器用数码相机对靶拍照。设计了亚像素处理方法实时处理数字照片,可精确测定圆心像点位置和特征直径的像长;用其作为基本特征参数,基于透视投影原理,建立了求圆心物空间坐标的公式,求出靶面的平面方程,可用来求两航天器间的相对位置姿态参数和实时标定相机的可变参数。计算机仿真结果表明,测距为2m时,测圆心像点位置的误差小于0.03个像素,测距误差小于1mm,测姿态角的误差小于0.01°。该方法也适用于无人直升飞机定点着陆时自主测量其相对位姿参数。     

Melamine trisulfonic acid-catalyzed N-formylation of amines under solvent-free conditions

A highly convenient method for N-formylation of amines via treatment by formic acid in the presence of melamine trisulfonic acid as a catalyst has been developed. This method showed improvements over previous reports in terms of yield, reaction time and chemoselectivity.     

A production system with two job classes,changeover times and revisitation

This paper, motivated by the need to predict performance of production systems with random arrivals, setup times and revisitation, presents an imbedded Markov chain analysis of the underlyingM/G/1 queue with two customer classes, changeover times and instantaneous Bernoulli feedback. It is assumed that jobs are scheduled according to the exhaustive alternative priority queue discipline. Expressions for the mean waiting time and the nonsaturation condition are derived under two different priority assignments to the repeat customers. Sojourn times under these priority assignments are shown to possess a convex ordering. Results of the study are also applicable to data communication networks that operate under cyclic switching mechanisms.

An Incremental Algorithm for the Maximum Flow Problem

An incremental algorithm may yield an enormous computational time saving to solve a network flow problem. It updates the solution to an instance of a problem for a unit change in the input. In this paper we have proposed an efficient incremental implementation of maximum flow problem after inserting an edge in the network G. The algorithm has the time complexity of O((n)² m), where n is the number of affected vertices and m is the number of edges in the network. We have also discussed the incremental algorithm for deletion of an edge in the network G.     

Representing the mean residual life in terms of the failure rate

In survival or reliability studies, the mean residual life or life expectancy is an important characteristic of the model. Whereas the failure rate can be expressed quite simply in terms of the mean residual life and its derivative, the inverse problem—namely that of expressing the mean residual life in terms of the failure rate—typically involves an integral of a complicated expression. In this paper, we obtain simple expressions for the mean residual life in terms of the failure rate for certain classes of distributions which subsume many of the standard cases. Several results in the literature can be obtained using our approach. Additionally, we develop an expansion for the mean residual life in terms of Gaussian probability functions for a broad class of ultimately increasing failure rate distributions. Some examples are provided to illustrate the procedure.     

Analysis of anharmonic and thermoelastic properties of non-centrosymmetric crystals

In the present paper an analytical potential form is used for overlap repulsive energy, derived by Harrison from quantum mechanical considerations, along with the composite effect of three-body forces and intersublattice displacement. The short-range overlap parameters in Harrison's potential form have direct correlation with the valence state energies for outermost electrons. The potential model is applied to calculate the third and fourth order elastic constants, first and second pressure derivatives of second order elastic constants, Grüneisen parameter and its volume dependence, Anderson parameter, and thermal expansion coefficient for three non-centrosymmetric crystals, viz. CaF₂, SrF₂ and BaF₂. The calculated values of various physical quantities are found to be in good agreement with experimental data.The authors are grateful to Dr. Mansour Khalef, the Head of Physics Department, TNRC, Tajura (Tripoli) for the facilities and encouragements.
