The design and analysis of dual control voltages delay cell for low power and wide tuning range ring oscillators in 65 nm CMOS technology for CDR applications

In this paper three delay cell structures used in four-stage ring oscillator are evaluated. In the first structure, the control voltage is employed to the gate of PMOS transistors which are inserted in series with the input PMOS transistors. In this case the minimum power dissipation is gained. Since the control voltage is injected to the PMOS transistors parallel with input transistors, the better tuning range in higher frequency and lower phase noise is achieved. In order to make a tradeoff between the tuning range, phase noise and power dissipation, the PMOS transistors activated with the control voltage are applied to the oscillator in both the series and parallel paths. In improved structure, the oscillator works in 2.65–13.93 GHz under 1 V supply voltage in 65 nm CMOS technology. The phase noise is −94.33 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from 3.7 GHz center frequency, while the power dissipation is 328.6 μW and the chip area is 139.5 µm².     

Fractionally Nyquist Sample Spaced ARMA Blind Equalizer for Direct Signal Recovery in Passive Bistatic Radar

This paper proposes a modified signal pro-cessing structure based on the fractionally Nyquist sample spaced structure for passive bistatic radar. To recover the direct signal from the multipath clutter, an equalizer of the Auto regressive moving average (ARMA) type is pro-posed based on the fractionally Nyquist sample spaced con-stant modulus algorithm. Compared with the conventional Nyquist sample spaced equalizer, the equalizer of the frac-tionally Nyquist sample spaced ARMA structure is more effective in dealing with deep fading multipath channels with zeros near the unit circle. Computer simulations and real data tests indicate that the proposed approach out-performs the conventional processing structure in terms of both clutter residual and mean square error.     

紫外光NLOS通信的机群间通路快速恢复算法

为了研究直升机编队飞行在链路中断或节点中断情况下的路径恢复,基于紫外光非直视通信的路径损耗,采用Dijkstra算法寻找网络连通性的前提下直升机编队飞行通信网络的最优路径,通过节点移动来实现链路中断或节点中断时的路径恢复。通过理论以及仿真分析,得到了最优路径在不同链路断开时的路径恢复情况。结果表明,采用所提出的算法虽然在节点移动时需要花费2s~3s的时间,但是与路径重寻方法相比,3跳和4跳节点的链路收敛时间能够有效减小0.2ms和0.4ms,路径权值同样能够减小20dB和45dB,因此该算法具有可行性。这一结果对机群间路径快速恢复的研究有一定的应用价值。

Rheological properties and enhanced oil recovery performance of a novel sulfonate polyacrylamide

A novel hydrosoluble sulfonate copolymer (SPAM) containing sulfonic acid groups was synthesized under mild conditions with Acrylamide (AM), 2-(Dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) as monomers by segmentation initiation with 2,2'-azobis[2-methylpropionamidine] dihydrochloride and redox initiation system, respectively. The structures of copolymers were characterized by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, ¹H NMR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The rheological properties of the copolymer solution at different shear rate, temperature and salt concentration were investigated. The shear-tolerance, temperature-tolerance and salt-tolerance of the novel synthetic hydrosoluble sulfonate copolymer are improved remarkably compared with partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM). The synthetic copolymer solution possesses a higher viscosity retention rate (53.3%) than HPAM (35.3%) at the total salinity of 20000 mg/L when temperature changed from 30°C to 99°C. The enhanced oil recovery (EOR) of the synthetic copolymer was performed by core flood, and the EOR degree of the synthetic copolymer in the 20000 mg/L salt solution at 80°C was better than that of HPAM. Compared with HPAM flooding, the EOR with the synthetic copolymer flooding was increased by 6.8% at 80°C.     

Interaction between polymer and anionic/nonionic surfactants and its mechanism of enhanced oil recovery

Various experimental methods were used to investigate interaction between polymer and anionic/nonionic surfactants and mechanisms of enhanced oil recovery by anionic/nonionic surfactants in the present paper. The complex surfactant molecules are adsorbed in the mixed micelles or aggregates formed by the hydrophobic association of hydrophobic groups of polymers, making the surfactant molecules at oil-water interface reduce and the value of interfacial tension between oil and water increase. A dense spatial network structure is formed by the interaction between the mixed aggregates and hydrophobic groups of the polymer molecular chains, making the hydrodynamic volume of the aggregates and the viscosity of the polymer solution increase. Because of the formation of the mixed adsorption layer at oil and water interface by synergistic effect, ultra-low interfacial tension (～2.0?×?10^?3 mN/m) can be achieved between the novel surfactant system and the oil samples in this paper. Because of hydrophobic interaction, wettability alteration of oil-wet surface was induced by the adsorption of the surfactant system on the solid surface. Moreover, the studied surfactant system had a certain degree of spontaneous emulsification ability (D50?=?25.04?µm) and was well emulsified with crude oil after the mechanical oscillation (D50?=?4.27?µm).     

一种基于二维信号稀疏重构的互质采样星载SAR成像处理方法

互质采样星载SAR通过方位互质采样代替传统方位均匀采样,可有效缓解空间分辨率与有效成像宽度之间的相互制约,提升SAR系统的对地探测性能。然而,方位向互质采样使得回波信号呈现方位欠采样及非均匀采样特性,导致传统SAR成像处理方法无法实现互质采样星载SAR的有效成像处理。该文提出一种基于2维信号稀疏重构的互质采样星载SAR成像处理方法。该方法在距离向脉冲压缩后,根据各距离门的多普勒参数截取2维观测信号并构造相应的稀疏字典,然后通过改进的2维信号稀疏度自适应匹配追踪算法完成方位聚焦处理。该方法不仅可以补偿SAR回波信号的距离方位2维耦合,还可以消除成像参数随距离空变对稀疏重构造成的影响,从而实现全场景的精确重构。点目标及分布目标仿真实验结果验证了所提算法可在远低于奈奎斯特采样率的情况下实现稀疏场景的有效重构。      

Ferrimagnetic Nanochains‐Based Mesenchymal Stem Cell Engineering for Highly Efficient Post‐Stroke Recovery

Unsatisfactory post‐stroke recovery has long been a negative factor in the prognosis of ischemic stroke due to the lack of pharmacological treatments. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)‐based therapy has recently emerged as a promising strategy redefining stroke treatment; however, its effectiveness has been largely restricted by insufficient therapeutic gene expression and inadequate cell numbers in the ischemic cerebrum. Herein, a non‐viral and magnetic field‐independent gene transfection approach is reported, using magnetosome‐like ferrimagnetic iron oxide nanochains (MFIONs), to genetically engineer MSCs for highly efficient post‐stroke recovery. The 1D MFIONs show efficient cellular uptake by MSCs, which results in highly efficient genetic engineering of MSCs to overexpress brain‐derived neurotrophic factor for treating ischemic cerebrum. Moreover, the internalized MFIONs promote the homing of MSCs to the ischemic cerebrum by upregulating CXCR4. Consequently, a pronounced recovery from ischemic stroke is achieved using MFION‐engineered MSCs in a mouse model.     

Depth completion towards different sensor configurations via relative depth map estimation and scale recovery

Depth completion, which combines additional sparse depth information from the range sensors, substantially improves the accuracy of monocular depth estimation, especially using the deep-learning-based methods. However, these methods can hardly produce satisfactory depth results when the sensor configuration changes at test time, which is important for real-world applications. In this paper, the problem is tackled by our proposed novel two-stage mechanism, which decomposes depth completion into two subtasks, namely relative depth map estimation and scale recovery. The relative depth map is first estimated from a single color image with our designed scale-invariant loss function. Then the scale map is recovered with the additional sparse depth. Experiments on different densities and patterns of the sparse depth input show that our model always produces satisfactory depth results. Besides, our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on the indoor NYUv2 dataset and performs competitively on the outdoor KITTI dataset, demonstrating the effectiveness of our method.
