Abstract:A Φ1.5 m silicon carbide(SiC) ceramic green body with a lightweight structure was prepared by gel casting method. The effects of Particle Size Distribution (PSD), solid loading and milling time on the SiC suspension were studied systematically. Then the microstructure and bending strength of the SiC green body, and the mechanical and thermal properties of Reaction Bonded SiC(RBSiC) were measured. The results show that the 65% solid loading SiC slurry with good flow properties is prepared by optimum PSD in a stable dispersion condition. The slurry viscosity of SiC increases rapidly with the solid loading.However, the apparent viscosity of SiC slurry reduces and then increases with the milling time. Moreover,the SiC slurry was injected into a mould, and a Φ1.5 m SiC ceramic green body was obtained.The ceramic green body after degreasing has a uniform interior structure and a bending strength of 24.6 MPa.
Abstract:As passively modelocked fiber lasers based on Nonlinear Polarization Rotation(NPR) have the problem of low stability and difficulty to selfstart into a modelocking state during operation, an online automatic modelock circuit was designed to adjust the laser in real time to get a stable modelocked output. In the design, the signal from NPR passively modelocked laser was transformed to an electrical pulse signal with a high speed photoelectric detector, and it was amplified and shaped linearly to be received by the Micro Computer Unit(MCU) to count. Then the MCU distinguished the state of the laser based on quick modelock judge algorithm and adjusted the electric controlled polarization controller (PC) on the fiber laser automatically. The experiment results show that for the NPR modelocked fiber laser with a repetition rate of 6.238 MHz ,the automatic modelock circuit can distinguish the losing lock in 6 ms, and can find and get into the modelock state in 10.24 s automatically. For NPR passive modelocked fiber lasers with repetition rate lower than 16 MHz, this automatic modelock circuit can get into a stable modelocked state quickly or restart immediately if the modelock state is lost for some reasons,which reaches the design requirements and shows advantages of simple structures, low costs, low powers, and high reliability.
Abstract:The influence of polarization direction orthogonality on Polarization Phase Shifting Interferometry(PPSI) was analyzed to improve its measurement precision. Based on the analysis of PPSI principle, it points out that the measurement error is a function of Optical Path Difference(OPD) and the PV of measurement error is proportional to the nonorthogonality and the ratio of amplitudes of test beam to reference beam. The polarization nonorthogonality can be introduced by the reflection or refraction on a surface. Then several approaches were recommended to depress the nonorthogonality, such as proper coatings, incident angles and polarization directions. A configuration of SkipFlat test with incident angle of 45° was set up. It shows that the distribution of measurement error is coincident with that of OPD. Moreover,the measurement error is 0.174 1λ (PV), which is in agreement with that of the theoretical analysis.Finally, the paper suggests that it is necessary to analyze individually each of the component under the test for making sure the measurement precision.
Abstract:The feasibility of morphologic measurement for Dynamic Damaged Materials by the white light axial chromatic aberration method was explored, and the internal dynamic damage of materials was characterized and quantized precisely. First, the surface profile measurement technique based on white light axial chromatic aberration was used to measure the crosssection of samples recovered softly from dynamic impact experiments. Then, the crosssection image and 3D surface topography were obtained by reconstruction of the test data. Finally, based on the test data, a new method to calculate the damage of samples was established and the damage curve of the samples was calculated. The results indicate that the axial chromatic aberration measurement can measure a wide range crosssection of the sample(6.9 mm×9.999 mm) without disconnection and can receive a clearly threedimensional morphology of the sample crosssection. The resolution of the damage curve can be improved to 3 m. It means that the white light axial chromatic aberration method used to measure the dynamic damage sample is effectively. It can implement a continuous measurements with largescale and highprecision and show its characteristics in smaller operation, simpler calculation and higher resolution.

Abstract:The optical system which produces speckles in a laser projection display system was simplified. By combining theories and practices, the simplified system was used to analyze the formation mechanism of a compound speckle and its effective characterization. Based on the speckle contrast analysis method, four important factors affecting the contrast of the compound speckles were analyzed by the experiments, namely, the spot diameter of an incident light beam, the distance between diffuser and screen, the coarse speckle granule on the screen and the fine speckle granule above the screen. Then, the contrasts of the compound speckles as a function of these parameters were determined by the experimental data. After researching the constitute of the compound speckle, a relational model based on contribution of the coarse granule and the fine granule on the compound speckle was presented by statistical analysis method and confirmed by an experiment. Obtained results provide an effective experimental basis for the speckle suppression in the laser projection display.
Abstract:As the small scale model optical system for a projected objective of lithography has so many optical elements, it is impossible to use a traditional method that each compensator only compensates the corresponding misalignment. Therefore, this paper proposes a sensitive matrix to solve this problem. Firstly, the internal relations between the decenter disalignments and the tip/tilt ones were found out based on a sensitive matrix to reduce the range of selection compensators. Then, according to the analysis of the disalignment sensitivity, a method for selecting system compensators was proposed. With the method, only selected four compensators could allow the imaging quality of compensated optical system to achieve the design index and the alignment difficulty to be reduced. Finally, the macro command modes were proposed to complete the massive simulation calculation to prove the correctness of the sensitive analysis. After the original assembling, a prealigning procedure of optical system was achieved to ensure the feasibility of the aligning scheme. The test results show that the wave front errors (RMS) have reduced to 25.9 nm from 50.9 nm after compensation, which is better than the requirements of qualifications. The results prove that the proposed methods are right and effective.

Abstract:The structures, fabrication and properties of Lu2Ti2O7 thin films were explored. Depending upon solgel fabrication technique, the influence of the spinning parameters, such as annealing temperature, holding time, rotating speed and the number of coating layers on the microstructure including surface roughness was investigated systematically. Then the electrical properties of the Lu2Ti2O7 films deposited on Si substrates were researched to optimize the parameters for the growth of Lu2Ti2O7 films. The investigation reveals that the annealing temperature no less than 750 ℃ is necessary to obtain an optimal thin film containing less amount of Lu2TiO5, which is formed at temperature arranging from 650 ℃ to 1 050 ℃. Meanwhile, the studies also indicate that the calcination temperature shows a great influence on the surface roughness. Further analysis on electric properties suggests that the holding time is benefit to both the low temperature phase transition of Lu2Ti2O7 and the formation of Lu2TiO5 phase, but it has little effect on the electrical properties of the film. With Lu(NO3)3 and TiO2 as precursors, high densified Lu2Ti2O7 film containing less amounts of Lu2TiO5 phase can be prepared successfully via solgel route, and the less amounts of Lu2TiO5 phase can be eliminated by increasing the calcination temperature, prolonging the holding time or adjusting the ratio of Lu(NO3)3 to TiO.

The gap between reflection grating and reading head is about 2.0 mm,which is ten times larger than that of tradition type encoders. The results demonstrate that the high-precision reflective optical encoder developed has simple structures and its reading head shows high quality photoelectric signals. It can provide a solution scheme for high precision angle measurement.
Abstract:The pendulous gyro north seeker is difficult to complete the rapid omnibearing north seeking, for it is limited by initial erection azimuth seriously. In this paper, a complex rapid omnibearing north seeking method was put forward and the technological points involved such as the motion of pendulous gyro in a large azimuth, rapid omnibearing pre-direction, and fast coarse and precise north seeking in a small azimuth were investigated. Firstly, the motion equations of pendulous gyro in the large azimuth were established based on principles of rigid dynamics and its approximate analytic solution was gained by using the numerical analysis and curve fitting method. On the basis of the approximate analytic solution, the north seeking time and results of 1/2 period and 1/4 period step-measuring method were carefully studied and the step strategy was optimized. Then, a fast step coarse seeking and limiting method was proposed based on the analysis of curve fitting fast coarse north seeking and step fast limiting methods. Finally, a complex omnibearing method was designed with the combination of rapid omnibearing rough north seeking, fast coarse north seeking and limiting and the photoelectric integral method. Simulation results show that the basic shaft of the gyro can be stepped to the position of ±300′ from north within 190 s by optimized step strategy, the coarse north seeking and limiting can be achieved within 95 s, and the total time cost of the complex method is less than 11 min. With the complex method proposed, the azimuth angle in any direction can be determined accurately in a short time.

Abstract:To calculate the displacement of an inclined beam-type electrothermal microactuator, a multiphysics coupling model was established based on the electro-thermal and thermo-mechanical analysis. The thermal structure was analyzed, and the output displacement formula was obtained using the force method. For the purpose of proving the accuracy of the model, a comparison was performed. The comparison shows that the theoretical results of temperature profile and output displacement are in agreement well with the results of Finite Element Analysis(FEA) and experimental measurements. Finally, the output displacement repeatability and reproducibility were measured and the main factors influencing the output displacement of the microactuator were analyzed. Obtained results indicate that the ratio of length to width and the angle of the inclined beam are main influence factors on the output displacement and the different MEMS processes have obviously effects on the output displacement of the microactuator. Experimental results also show that the maximal displacement of the microactuator is 0.85 μm and 2.3 μm under the voltage of 18 V and 9 V,which means the relative errors with the results of theoretical calculation are 2.2% and 12.8% respectively. The above analysis indicates that the theoretic calculation values are coincident well with the measured values and the formulas deduced from the inclined beam-type electrothermal microactuator are logical, which can provide theoretical supports for the design and calculation of electrothermal microactuators.

Abstract:It is difficult to measure large size components in higher precision and a 3D mode in the micro-nano geometrical measurement. Therefore, a high resolution, small sized capacitance sensor was fabricated based on non-silicon Micro-electronic-mechanical system(MEMS) technology. By designing the packaging and weak-capacitance acquisition system of the sensor, a capacitance-based micro tactile probe was developed to measure the 3D dimensions in micro/nano scale. Then, a 3D micro displacement platform was designed to test and calibrate the probe. The macro-micro combination drive mode was used to design the stage and its moving range is 25 mm×25 mm×10 mm and the uniaxial resolution in 12 μm range is 1 nm. Finally, the range, linearity, hysteresis and resolution of the probe were tested. Results show that the axial range is 4.5 μm, the lateral range is greater than 5 μm, the axial resolution and the lateral resolution of the probe are less than 10 nm and 25 nm,respectively. The experiments show that the probe has a good linearity and its advantages are simple structure, high resolution, small volume and low costs. The probe developed can be integrated to the nano measuring and positioning machine (NMM) to complete required measurement tasks in large ranges and sub-micrometer or nanometer level accuracy.

Abstract:The pulse corona discharge was employed as the ion source of an Ion Mobility Spectrometer (IMS) to replace the radioactive ion source to simplify the structure of the IMS. The features of pulse corona discharge was researched and the Number of positive Ions(Ni) in a single pulse corona discharge were measured. Then the relationships between the Ni and the high voltage pulse, the Ni and the electrode spacing, and the variation of NIs with high voltage pulse under different tip curvature radii were tested. After determing the electrode parameters of pulse corona discharge ion source, the pulse corona discharge ion source and the corresponding main structure of IMS were designed. Finally, the mobility spectrum of reactant ion H+(H2O)n in the air was detected by using the IMS built in our lab. The obtained results show that the time corresponding to the peak of IMS is 47.5 ms, and the peak half-width is 7.5 ms. Therefore, the spectrum resolution of IMS for reactant ion H+(H2O)n detection is 6.33. The experiments demonstrate it is feasible that pulse corona discharge is used as the ion source of IMS. Because the structure of pulse corona discharge can be easily realized using Micro-electronic-mechanic System(MEMS) technology, and its corresponding mobility pipe removes ion gate, the structure of IMS is simplified.

The results fully satisfy the precision requirement of RMS value less than λ/30 (λ=632.8nm), which proves the feasibility of the axial and radial supporting structure mentioned above.

The structure of SHH17# MEMS gyroscope developed by ourselves was introduced, the effect of temperature changes on the gyroscope was analyzed, and the resonant frequency, quality factor, scale factor and the null bias of driving and sensing modes were tested. The dynamic equation and test circuits of the gyroscope were analyzed, then it points out that the scale factor is in direct proportion to driving amplitude and the gain of sense loop, and is in indirect proportion to the frequency gap between two modes. A thermal resistant was taken as the compensation element to compensate the scale factor in a secondary amplifier, then the temperature coefficients and output values of the null bias were compensated by superposing a reference voltage within the low pass filter in an output module. Furthermore, the circuits of the two compensation points were expanded and the parameter’s configuration details were introduced.

Abstract:As traditional compressive sensing tracking algorithm will produce tracking errors in circumastances when illumination has dramatic change or there exists a object similar to the target in background, this paper proposes a sparse representation object tracking algorithm by taking the histogram of gradient feature to replace the generalized Haar feature. The algorithm uses the histogram of gradient feature as an original feature firstly, and gets the sparse representation of object feature subspace by using compressive sensing theory. In the subsequent frames, the naive Bayes classifier is used to search the target location and the classifier is online updated finally. As the histogram of gradient feature can represent the target more stably, this algorithm is more robust than original compressive tracking algorithm. Furthermore, the integral histogram is adapted to effectively reduce computational load when the gradient feature is computed. Experiments on different videos show that the tracking algorithm can reach the tracking rate of 10 frames per second in an experimental environment of Intel Core2 2.93 GHz, matlab R2010a, image size 320×240, and it achieves stable tracking in some special conditions as mentioned above.

Abstract:A method to calculate the target detection probability quantitatively for a infrared and visible image fusion system was proposed and a corresponding calculation model was established. First, the main factors affecting on the target detection probability were analyzed, and they were the spectral contrast of target and background, the characteristics of infrared and visible light detector, environmental illumination conditions, the integration of image quality, and the target size and distance. Then, five mathematical models on the effect factors mentioned above was constructed. On this basis, a calculation model for the detection probability based on infrared and visible image fusion system was completed. Finally, the experiments for two practical missions were performed. The first experiment show its results as follows: target detection probability of trees for a single detection system pvis is 0.294 8,pIR is 0.136 0, but the detection probability for the fusion detection system is 0.414 2, much higher than that of single detector, which verifies the validity of the calculation method of fusion system for target detection probability. It proves that the fusion image quality and the spectral characteristics of goal itself play important roles for target detection probability. Moreover, the experiment results of the model is accord with the human visual characteristics as well.
Abstract:On research of the stabilizing region of a PID controller,the control system is required a stabilized margin to compensate the uncertainty of plant modeling and the parameter deviation of PID controller. This paper defines four types of stability margins for the plant under PID controller to extend the conventional definition of stability margins (gain margin and phase margin). Based on the presences of Right Half Plane(RHP) poles or not, the closed-loop systems are classified into two categories and their necessary stabilized margins are stated. A method of constructing PID stabilizing regions by using the generalized Hermite-Biehler theorems is proposed for the PID controlled closed-loop system to meet the prescribed performance of stability margins. Then, two examples are employed to test the validity of the method proposed. Obtained results demonstrate that the PID stabilizing regions with stabilized margins can really be gotten by the proposed method for both cases.
Abstract:To overcome the shortcomings like temperature nonlinearity and long-dead time for measuring echo flight-time in traditional analogy interpolation method, a new time voltage converter based on time amplification technology was proposed. The circuit structure and influences of different configurations of capacitive parameters on the performance of the convertor were discussed in detail. A prototype circuit of the time voltage convertor using discrete components was designed and a test platform was constructed to test the performance of the convertor. The results show that the designed time voltage convertor can reduce measurement dead time and eliminate the influence caused by clock jitter and PVT (Process, Voltage and Temperature) parameter variations. In the valid input range, the differential and integral nonlinearity errors are less than 0.45 LSB and 0.6 LSB,respectively,which meets the needs of echo flight-time measurement for high-precision and real-time .
Abstract:The current time synchronization algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) are dependent on the collected time data strongly. Therefore, an optimization time synchronization technology for cross-layer service was presented to work out related issues. Firstly, frame header fragmentation in a MAC layer was used for the fragment and reassembly of packets. By zoning techniques,superframe structure of the MAC layer was adjusted,and then the hidden node problem was solved through the slot backoff algorithm.Then,a timestamp was added into the frame structure of the broadcast message to record the time data of received messages, and all received error data were filtered through clustering techniques. Also the synchronous clock drift was compensated. The simulation results indicate that the time synchronization accuracy is improved by 8 μs, the convergence time is reduced by 10% and the energy consumption is less than 150 mW compared with those of other traditional algorithms.These results prove that the technology ensures the accuracy,and simultaneously reduces the convergence time and the energy consumption of the network.
Abstract:On the requests of coded targets in the close-range photogrammetry for precision position and decode recognition, an algorithm to automatically detect and recognize the cyclic coded targets was proposed. Firstly, the canny edge detection was used to process images, not only the noises but also the non-coded target were filtered by means of calculating the centroids of closed contours and a series of criteria. Then the least square ellipse fitting was taken to locate the coded target, and each coded target contour could be segmented and filled when the fitting error was satisfied. Finally, a transformation method named Affine LOG Polar Coordinate (ALPC)that has the property of transforming local concentric ellipses into parallel straight lines was proposed to transform each coded target for decoding. Experimental results show that the algorithm presented in this paper can locate the coded targets to a sub-pixel level, and the average recognition accuracy rate can reach 98.8% when the angle between the camera optical axis and the normal of coded target is less than 60° . Furthermore, the recognition accuracy rate can still reach 90.2% when the angle is 70°, and the recognition accuracy rate can reach 96.46% under the complex background. In conclusion, the algorithm proposed can fully satisfy the precision and accuracy requirements of coded target location and recognition in the close-range photogrammetry.
Abstract:Traditional projection algorithms for eye location have a bad adaptation to face edge, expression and illumination, and they are affected by eyebrows, bangs and eye wrinkles easily. Aiming at the above problems, an algorithm of eye location based on Adaptive Image Segmentation and Curve Blending (AISCB) was proposed. Firstly, the specialty of eye gray distribution was analyzed, and an adaptive image segmentation method was defined by using the direction selectivity of gradient operators and certain expansion elements to overcome the influence of edge and illumination. Then, according to the concept of hybrid integral projection and the characteristics of both eye gray changes and gray mean value, the adaptive weight projection curve blending method was used to enhance algorithm's robustness. Finally, the division of face region and the accurate location of eyes were realized through analyzing the characteristics of fused curves. The experiments on YaleB and JAFFE face data libraries show that AISCB algorithm has a good adaptation to complex illumination and face edges, and it is not sensitive to eyebrows, bangs and other head sections. The correct rate of mean location can reach 98.92% when the evaluation criterion is less than 0.25.
Abstract:A new improved method, Speed Up Robust Features(SURF) matching by image partition, is propoed, which is defined as Modified-SURF(M-SURF). The method uses the feature matching adopting an image integral based on SURF to speed up the computing speed, meanwhile,it takes the second-order feature descriptors derived by the second-order multi-scale gauge to improve the feature matching robustness. The paper firstly deduces the formula of the second-order multi-scale gauge. Then, it introduces the image partition algorithm to resolve the inconsistency between the computing speed and the precision of matching. With an experiment,it obtains the optimal parameters of image partition matching. At last, it weighs the quality of matching by the algorithm of the ratio of the shortest distance and shorter distance in Euclid space, and improves the matching precision by eliminating the false matching dot with the LMedS. The result shows that the computing speed of M-SURF has raised more than 28% and the matching precision of M-SURF increases by 3% as comparing with those of SURF and Scale Invariance Feature Transfer(SIFT) by matching tests for several series of images. This algorithm can achieve a better matching of feature points and has a practical value.

Abstract:As classical infrared image enhancement methods based on Unsharp Masking(UM) suffer from terrible noise interference and halo effect, a new approach based on generalized linear operation and Bilateral Filtering (BF) was proposed here. Firstly, the elemental part of the image was extracted by using the BF and then operation models based on generalized linear operation were designed for the following enhancement. In the new operation scheme, the image details were nonlinearly segmented, denoised and amplified and the dynamic range of the elemental part was compressed while the detailed part was enhanced adaptively. Finally, the enhanced image was obtained by adding the processed elemental and detailed parts together nonlinearly. Furthermore, an assessment method for image quality was presented. Unlike the classical metric which only considers the average contrast enhancement, the modified one involves both local and general average contrast enhancements. Both the comparison experiments and measurement index indicate that the proposed method can compress the dynamic range of infrared images, amplify their details, and suppress the noise interference and halo effect. This technique has a significant contribution to the posterior image processing of thermal infrared cameras.

Abstract:To solve the problem that human brain vessels are difficult to be segmented, a level coarse brain vessel segmentation based on the global Local Binary Fitting(LBF) model was presented in the paper. First, the Directional Weight Median(DWM) filtering and the anisotropic diffusion model were used to reduce the noise and to enhance the vessel edges of brain images. Then, the Local Intensity Gradient Maximum(LIGM) algorithm was implemented based on a multi-scale space. The information of intensity and gradient was used to get the vessel candidate set and remove the influence of gray matter in the brain. At the same time, the improved global LBF level set model was used to segment the Maximum Intensity Projection(MIP) image. The vessel voxels were extracted with the conformation information. The results of these two steps were fused together to get the minimal covering set of the brain vessel. The experimental results show that all most the vessel voxels directly segmented by the double Gauss model can be reserved and most uncorrelated voxels can be removed. This research is based on the Time of Flight Magnetic Resonance Angiography(TOF MRA) and it is easy to expand to the similar system.
Abstract:A variable universe fuzzy controller was designed for the lateral semi-active suspension system of a train. The convergence condition of variable universe fuzzy was given more widely, which was confirmed to be suitable for the suspension system of train. Then, the lateral model of a 17-DOF vehicle was built by Simulink software based on the theory of dynamics. Finally, a potentially-inherited variable universe fuzzy controller was designed by taking the lateral acceleration and velocity of the suspension as the input variables of controller and the damper current as the output variable of controller. A simulation experiment was carried out at the same time, the max value, root mean square and power spectrum density function's max value of the lateral acceleration were calculated, and the results obtained from the variable universe fuzzy controller, traditional controller and the passive suspension were compared. The simulation results show that those data mentioned above have been decreased, which means that the control results by variable universe fuzzy control are better than those of conventional fuzzy control and passive suspension.

Abstract:To implement the orbit maneuvering of a communication supporting spacecraft in a large area, the path planning of the communication supporting spacecraft was proposed based on the fusion of ant colony and genetic algorithms. Firstly, the orbit dynamic model of spacecraft was established, and the fusion scheme of the genetic and ant colony algorithms was studied. On the basis of the fast convergence of genetic algorithm and the higher efficiency of colony algorithm, the genetic and ant colony algorithms were redesigned respectively under a fusion framework, and the operation process was presented. Finally, the path planning was simulated. The simulation results show that the fusion algorithm can reach the stabilization after 100 iterations, and the average safety path length is 4.055 3×104 m. These results prove that the convergence speed of maneuvering orbit planning based on genetic and ant colony fusion is fast, and the flight path to a fault of spacecraft can be obtained in a shorter time, which raises the efficiency of orbit planning remarkably.
