Modelling of a novel high-impedance matching layer for high frequency (>30 MHz) ultrasonic transducers

This work describes a new approach to impedance matching for ultrasonic transducers. A single matching layer with high acoustic impedance of 16 MRayls is demonstrated to show a bandwidth of around 70%, compared with conventional single matching layer designs of around 50%. Although as a consequence of this improvement in bandwidth, there is a loss in sensitivity, this is found to be similar to an equivalent double matching layer design. Designs are calculated by using the KLM model and are then verified by FEA simulation, with very good agreement Considering the fabrication difficulties encountered in creating a high-frequency double matched design due to the requirement for materials with specific acoustic impedances, the need to accurately control the thickness of layers, and the relatively narrow bandwidths available for conventional single matched designs, the new approach shows advantages in that alternative (and perhaps more practical) materials become available, and offers a bandwidth close to that of a double layer design with the simplicity of a single layer design. The disadvantage is a trade-off in sensitivity. A typical example of a piezoceramic transducer matched to water can give a 70% fractional bandwidth (comparable to an ideal double matched design of 72%) with a 3 dB penalty in insertion loss.     

基于压缩感知及光学理论的图像信息加密

针对信息加密系统中信息安全性不理想的问题,提出一种基于压缩感知的光学图像信息加密方法.在发送端,自然图像经稀疏表示、随机投影实现图像信息加密;然后将降维后的观测值通过4F双随机相位编码光学系统进行二次加密并将其融入宿主图像,实现信息加密及隐藏.在接收端,图像信息经双随机相位编码技术解码,通过正交匹配追踪算法实现原始图像信息重构.该系统能有效降低数据传输量、减小随机相位板大小.且收发方只需按照规则生成密钥而不需传输密钥,保证了密钥的安全性.仿真结果表明:解密恢复图像质量理想,峰值信噪比为30.899 1dB,且系统能较好地抵抗裁剪、噪音污染、高通滤波、旋转等攻击,鲁棒性强,安全性高.

国家治理的家户逻辑：基于田野政治学的分析进路

家户是中国社会的细胞,也是国家治理的基本单元。从历史上看,家户单元以独立的个体家庭的产生为基础,并经由“编户齐民”制度而成熟定型。与其他治理单元不同,家户具有极强的自主性,并从中汲取动能与活力。家户自主性是基于家户自身生存和发展需要而产生的内在能动性,包括意识自主性、目标自主性和行动自主性。中国国家治理的重要特征,不是对家户单元的控制与形塑,而是对家户自主性的认同与调适。家户自主性的产生,主要源于家户单元的自组织特性,包括联结方式的血缘性、个体需求的内生性、组织形态的灵活性以及国家权力的外在性。从历史上看,正是家户单元的自主性治理,为“集家为国”的中国国家治理提供了动力,其不仅创造了灿烂的农业文明,也实现了国家的长治久安。进入近代以后,家户作为国家治理单元的功能不断弱化甚至一度被取代,但其内在价值并未因此消解,反而在改革实践中展现独特魅力与光芒。在推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的进程中,应当高度重视家户单元及其蕴含的自主性价值,并赋予其新的时代意义。

Performance investigation of an advanced tracked prime mover on the low bearing soil

This study has presented a performance investigation of an advanced tracked prime mover for the operation of agricultural goods and other operations on peat terrain. The maximum and continuous traction torque of the prime mover has been developed by designing an advanced controller for controlling the intelligent system. The prime mover’s mobility is studied with ultrasonic displacement sensor, torque transducer, National Instrument cRIO-9004 Compact-RIO Real-time Controller Unit (RCU), a National Instrument TPC 2106T Touch Panel Control (TPC), a Trimble AG132 GPS antenna and receiver unit, and a Dlink DIR-655 router. The fuzzy logic controller (FLC) has been equipped with the prime mover hydraulic system to increase the traction torque of the hydraulic motor when the prime mover’s sinkage is more than or equal to 70 mm. The prime mover’s design demonstrates good potential in traversing peat terrain as the measured tractive effort was found to be 48% of the vehicle’s gross weight while the recommended tractive effort is in the range of 30–36% of the vehicle’s gross weight.     

Synthesis and mesomorphic characterization of azoesters with a coumarin ring

We have synthesized a homologous series of azoesters consisting of a coumaryl moiety as the end group. Eleven derivatives of this series exhibit mesomorphism. The nematic mesophase is exhibited from ethyl homologue onward, while the smectic phase commences at the pentyl derivative and is exhibited along with the nematic phase up to the hexadecyl derivative. The N-I transition temperatures curves show the usual odd-even effect. All the compounds in this series are thermally stable and exhibit a wide mesomorphic range of nearly 120°C. Their thermal stabilities and other characteristics are discussed.
