Electrode wear prediction in milling electrical discharge machining based on radial basis function neural network

Milling electrical discharge machining (EDM) enables the machining of complex cavities using cylindrical or tubular electrodes. To ensure acceptable machining accuracy the process requires some methods of compensating for electrode wear. Due to the complexity and random nature of the process, existing methods of compensating for such wear usually involve off-line prediction. This paper discusses an innovative model of electrode wear prediction for milling EDM based upon a radial basis function (RBF) network. Data gained from an orthogonal experiment were used to provide training samples for the RBF network. The model established was used to forecast the electrode wear, making it possible to calculate the real-time tool wear in the milling EDM process and, to lay the foundations for dynamic compensation of the electrode wear on-line. This paper demonstrates that by using this model prediction errors can be controlled within 8%.     

Computational fluid dynamics and experimental study of lock-in phenomenon in vortex-induced motions of a cell-truss spar

Spar platforms could be subject to vortex-induced-motions (VIM) in certain current conditions. Lockin is a phenomenon which occurs in a range of reduced velocities in VIM. In this paper, a new concept of spar platform called cell-truss spar is studied using both computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and model test to investigate the VIM of the spar under different reduced velocities. The unique configuration of the cell-truss spar is carefully considered, and the unsteady flow around the spar is calculated and visualized in CFD simulations. A physical model with a scale ratio of 1:100 of the cell-truss spar is fabricated, and model tests are carried out in the current-generating ocean engineering basin. Many important parameters in VIM of the cell-truss spar are obtained, the occurrence of lock-in phenomenon is successfully simulated, and the mechanism and rules of lock-in are analyzed.     

Formation control of underwater mobile sensing networks

Formation control is essential for an underwater mobile sensing network (UMSN), and an ad hoc network which wirelessly connects underwater vehicles of sensing and/or observing types via acoustic communications, to fulfill mobile sensing tasks. The problem of formation control for a UMSN with varying topology is studied in this paper. The methodology of synthesizing distributed formation controller which stabilizes a UMSN with varying topology is proposed on the basis of the stability analysis of linear time-varying systems.     

Lattice-basis reduction precoding based on successive interference cancellation design for multiuser MIMO downlink system

Two kinds of lattice-basis reduction precoding schemes based on successive interference cancellation are proposed. The successive interference cancellation (SIC) structure can be obtained by either orthogonal and a right triangular matrix (QR) decomposition, or the Vertical Bell Labs Layered Space Time (VBLAST) algorithm which provides optimal user ordering. Moreover, the extended channel approach is applied to the proposed SICbased schemes. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes can achieve comparable BER performance to vector precoding (VP).     

Fast affine projection algorithm for adaptive noise canceling and its application on the fetal electrocardiogram extraction

Aimed at the problem of adaptive noise canceling (ANC), three implementary algorithms, which are least mean square (LMS) algorithm, recursive least square (RLS) algorithm and fast affine projection (FAP) algorithm, have been researched. The simulations were made for the performance of these algorithms. The extraction of fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) is applied to compare the application effect of the above algorithms. The proposed FAP algorithm has obvious advantages in computational complexity, convergence speed and steadystate error.

一种在CDMA辅助下实现WLAN无缝切换的机制

随着无线局域网（WLAN）技术的发展,越来越多的用户可以在移动过程中通过WLAN获得网络接入服务,这就需要对WLAN切换的支持,而单纯基于接收信号强度（RSS）的切换机制难以克服乒乓效应及其他一些服务质量下降问题.本文提出一种CDMA辅助下的WLAN无缝切换（即低延时、低丢包率）机制（CAHO）,该机制在用户发生相邻WLAN之间的切换过程中使用CD-MA连接来避免性能下降问题.为了评价该机制,我们建立一个实验床,并与传统的WLAN切换机制及Multiscan切换机制进行了比较.实验结果表明,CAHO机制能够有效地解决丢包、服务中断及乒乓切换等问题.
