Wet Purification of Aligned Carbon Nanotube Arrays and Its Impact on the Morphology of the Carbon Nanotube Arrays

A simple acid treatment method was applied to remove the catalyst impurities and other residues contaminated in the vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays. We demonstrated that acid treatment was an efficient approach for aligned carbon nanotube purification. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the morphology of the aligned carbon nanotube arrays and to determine the efficiency of the purification. Using hydrochloric acid could efficiently eliminate catalyst impurities and retain the original structures of the aligned carbon nanotube arrays. The method provided a simple, economical, and effective way to purify the aligned carbon nanotubes, and it would promote the applications of vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays in electronic field.     

RTL综合中FPGA片上RAM工艺映射

RAM（Random-Access-Memory,随机存储器）是FPGA（Field Programmable Gate Arrays）片上最重要的宏单元之一,RTL（Register-Transfer-Level）综合对FPGA开发中RAM的有效利用起至关重要作用.本文针对RTL综合中RAM源描述和目标结构多样化带来的技术难题,提出了一种RAM工艺映射方法,即建立工艺无关的RAM统一模型,在模型基础上通过建模、模式匹配、造价计算、绑定四步实现.该方法应用于RTL综合,可以将多种RAM源描述有效地映射到最佳类型和数量的FPGA片上RAM资源.实验数据表明采用该方法实现的RAM工艺映射效果和主流FPGA综合工具--Synplify和XST相当,该模块已经集成在自主开发的RTL综合工具--Hqsyn中并实现商用.     

基于变积分时间的红外焦平面非均匀性校正算法研究

针对两点温度定标算法在应用过程中曝露的问题,提出了基于变积分时间的红外焦平面非均匀性校正算法.该算法先对图像进行非线性压缩,转换为线性图像,再利用红外焦平面阵列探测元的响应特性与积分时间之间的关系,采用改变积分时间的方法拟合红外焦平面探测器的平均响应特性曲线,进行两点校正,然后对结果进行取指数操作,即得到原图非均匀校正后的图像.分别利用两点温度定标法和变积分法对航拍红外图像进行校正效果验证,同时进行了不同校正算法的非均匀性适应性评价实验.实验结果表明新算法计算量小,校正准确度高,反应速度快,并在一定程度上解决了大动态范围下响应非线性对校正性能的影响,具有很好的工程应用价值.

Fabrication and performance of MMW and SMMW platelet horn arrays

Future spaceborne millimeter and sub-millimeter wave sensing systems will require the sensitivity and resolution only achievable with large focal plane array receiving systems. A technique has been developed for the low cost fabrication of large arrays of millimeter and sub-millimeter wave corrugated feed horns. These arrayed horns exhibit high efficiency and symmetrical receiving patterns and are compatible with integrated receivers. W-band test results of a 3×3 array are presented.     

A combinatorial approach to cartograms

A homeomorphism from ² to itself distorts metric quantities, such as distance and area. We describe an algorithm that constructs homeomorphisms with prescribed area distortion. Such homeomorphisms can be used to generate cartograms, which are geographic maps purposely distorted so their area distributions reflects a variable different from area, as for example population density. The algorithm generates the homeomorphism through a sequence of local piecewise linear homeomorphic changes. Sample results produced by the preliminary implementation of the method are included.     

Electroanalysis of Bromate,Iodate and Chlorate at Tungsten Oxide Modified Platinum Microelectrode Arrays

This article describes the direct detection of Bromate, but also of chlorate and iodate, using modified arrays of platinum ultramicroelectrodes. The detection limits for these ions are IO =0.76 μM; BrO =2.34 μM and ClO =133.2 μM. The formation of a suitable tungsten oxide layer and the optimum analytical conditions are described. These oxide layers are formed electrochemically from hydrogen peroxide‐tungstanate solutions in acid conditions. Although film stability may be an issue, particularly at pH>3, these modified arrays of microelectrodes can be used for analytical purposes. After the analysis, the modifying oxide is easily removed and the Pt microelectrode array recovers its original properties.
