Abstract:In order to meet the requirements of the near-field optical storage system for higher density, higher communication speed and integration, a subminiature anti-particles load-supporting stage was designed for low wear and high near-field coupling efficiency. A model of air bearing surface was investigated and solved using the finite volume method for analysis of the flying characteristics. The abundant negative pressure sufficiently enhances the stiffness and stability of the stage. The wedge-shaped rails and the novel distribution of negative force efficiently reduce the particles. The rail etched on the SIL achieved ultra sub-micron displacement from the disk surface. The theoretical analysis and computation show that a near-field gap of less than 50 nm can be successfully obtained. The carrying capacity exceeds 88 mN. Few particles are retained under the SIL. The flying head is robust for the near-field optical system.

Abstract:An adaptive correction method based on the measuring theory of Wheatstone bridge is proposed to reduce the effect of the multi-range measuring errors of a laser resistor trimming machine on the resistance adjusting accuracy. The corrected values in series to be used for correction of multi-range measuring errors of laser resistor trimming machine are adaptively obtained by measuring and calibrating the measuring errors of high precision standard resistors, and they can be used to correct all the resistance measuring errors of resistors to be adjusted to further reduce the system measuring errors. It is proved in practice that if a measuring system has good stability and low fluctuation, the precision of measuring system could be ±0.5‰ in low resistance(R<100 Ω)zone; ±0.2‰ in middle resistance zone; ±2‰ in high resistance(R≥1 MΩ)zone.
Abstract:A new method is proposed for color space conversion of color printers. Based on the concept of colorimetric density and artificial neural network, the one-dimension relationship between colorimetric characteristics of primary colors and printing data and the three-dimension colorimetric relationship between complex colors and primary colors were established together with the relationship between the two color spaces, output colorimetric space and input data space. Experiments were made with 729 samples and the experimental results showed that the conversion accuracy of this method is higher than those of some other methods, which build direct relationship between output and input. For one printer, the mean and maximal CIELAB c.d.(color difference)of 729 samples are 3.18 and 16.0, respectively, and these of 260 test samples are 4.00 and 16.8.

Abstract:A nanometer precision stepper piezoelectric motor has been designed and fabricated based on converse piezoelectric effect. From the simple model established from the motor's configuration, dynamic characteristic equations are deduced with pulses applied on the piezoelectric stack. The movement of the motor was simulated with some coefficients applied. The results of the simulation show that the motor is a linear stepper motor. A grating testing system was designed to test the piezoelectric motor. The experimental results prove that the simulations are true. This piezoelectric nanomotor can achieve serial step movement at higher speed with higher resolution in longer range, and it is easy to control by computer.

Abstract:A novel MEMS dual-band patch antenna is designed using slot-loaded and short-circuited size-reduction techniques. By controlling the short-plane width, f10 and f30, two resonant frequencies, can be significantly reduced and the frequency radio(f30/f10)is tunable in the range 1.7~2.3. The Haar-Wavelet-Based multiresolution time domain(H-MRTD)is used for modeling and analyzing the antenna for the first time. In addition, the mathematical formulae are extended to an inhomogenous media. Numerical simulation results are compared to those achieved using the conventional 3-D finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)method and measured. It has been demonstrated that, with this technique, space discretization with only a few cells per wavelength gives accurate results, leading to a reduction of both memory requirements and computation time.
Abstract:The structure and performance of a complex cavity Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System resonator are analyzed with its electromagnetism equations established. Its fabrication was realized by built micromachining, and the structure is simulated on computer at the end. A micro machined-cavity resonator was designed with a TM010 resonance quality factor of 3 529.707890 at 24.313299 GHz. When the micro-strip coupling conditions are considered, the best guess for the highest eigen frequency would be 24.75 GHz, and the average error of theoretical results and simulated results is less than 1%. The simulation results are in very good agreement with the theoretical value and this testifies the feasibility of the design. The structure parameters of the component are further varied, to obtain multivarious frequency components. The resonance frequency of a component is reduced by filling high permittivity medium, and this makes it possible to keep the design of a component compact at low frequency even.
Abstract:A novel multifractal image denoising approach based on singularity structure analysis is proposed to overcome the difficulty in estimating the multifractal spectrum of discrete data for multifractal analysis. By defining the partition function for moments of the wavelet coefficients, a new estimator for multifractal spectrum is given. There is no assumption for the type of noise or global smoothness of original data, and the image is characterized by its multifractal spectrum. The Hausdorff exponent of the image is processed by defining a new transformation operation, so that most of the points in the denoised image lie in the smooth regions while the relative strength of the singularities is preserved. Experimental results show that the method proposed leads to a smooth image and preserves the texture information of original images very well.
Abstract:A fast image matching algorithm was proposed to increase the running efficiency of the algorithm, and meet the real-time requirement for some applications. A gray edge image of the template was extracted using Sobel marginal operator. Matching points were sampled from the gray edge image and utilized to reduce the time complexity of the matching process. At the same time, the global searching mechanism of the genetic algorithm was exploited to expedite the convergence of the algorithm to the sub-optimal solution to the problem. Based on it, a precisely locating phase was introduced to fix the location and rotating degree of the optimal target sub-image in the scene image. Practical application of the algorithm to the image matching system of a fully automatic gold wire bonder demonstrated that the algorithm could meet the real-time requirement and the locating precision requirement of the system, and they worked as expected.

Abstract:A method that applies the clustering function of SOFM(Self-Organizing Feature Maps)network is proposed for autonomous star pattern recognition. The guide star catalog is built with the star information selected from all-sky star catalog on some guidelines. Angle distances and star model information abstracted from guide star catalog are used to train the two SOFM networks of the star pattern recognition system so that the networks have the classification and identification functions. It is concluded from the results of simulated identification that the SOFM network can reflect the complicated information among star pattern better and it appears more robust with respect to noise than conventional methods. The effect of classification is so good that it can differentiate all kinds of star models clearly and the speed of identification is so fast that it can recognize a star pattern within 1.5 ms. Therefore, it can be well applied for star pattern recognition.
