摘要：In the one-gravity environment on the ground, the simulation of the contact process of two flying objects in the zero-gravity environment of space has been a challenging issue since humans first explored space by flying objects. Hardware-in-the-loop （HIL） simulation is an important and effective method to test the usability, reliability, and safety of real docking mechanisms in space. There are four main issues for HIL simulation systems： Design of simulators capable of high frequency response, high motion precision, high velocity, and rapid acceleration; compensation for simulation distortion; design of a control model for the HIL simulation process; and experimental verification. Here, we propose a novel HIL simulator system with a 6-DOF 3-3 perpendicular parallel mechanism and a 3-DOF 3-PRS parallel mechanism; discover the principle of simulation distortion; present distortion compensation models for the force measurement system, dynamic response, and structural dynamics of the simulator; and provide a control model for the HIL simulation process. Two kinds of experiments were performed on the pas- sive-undamped elastic rod and the docking mechanisms to test their performances and to verify the effectiveness and usability of the HIL simulator. The HIL simulation system proposed in this paper is useful for developing space docking, berthing, refu- eling, repairing, upgrading, transporting, and rescuing technologies.

摘要：Pigeon-inspired optimization(PIO) is a new swarm intelligence optimization algorithm, which is inspired by the behavior of homing pigeons. A variant of pigeon-inspired optimization named multi-objective pigeon-inspired optimization(MPIO) is proposed in this paper. It is also adopted to solve the multi-objective optimization problems in designing the parameters of brushless direct current motors, which has two objective variables, five design variables, and five constraint variables. Furthermore, comparative experimental results with the modified non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm are given to show the feasibility, validity and superiority of our proposed MIPO algorithm.

摘要：Named entity disambiguation （NED） is the task of linking mentions of ambiguous entities to their referenced entities in a knowledge base such as Wikipedia. We propose an approach to effectively disentangle the discriminative features in the manner of collaborative utilization of collective wisdom （via human-labeled crowd labels） and deep learning （via human-generated data） for the NED task. In particular, we devise a crowd model to elicit the underlying features （crowd features） from crowd labels that indicate a matching candidate for each mention, and then use the crowd features to fine-tune a dynamic convolutional neural network （DCNN）. The learned DCNN is employed to obtain deep crowd features to enhance traditional hand-crafted features for the NED task. The proposed method substantially benefits from the utilization of crowd knowledge （via crowd labels） into a generic deep learning for the NED task. Experimental analysis demonstrates that the proposed approach is superior to the traditional hand-crafted features when enough crowd labels are gathered.

摘要：Two essential blocks for the PLLs based on CP, a phase-frequency detector （PFD） and an improved current steering charge-pump （CP）, are developed. The mechanisms for widening the phase error detection range and eliminating the dead zone are analyzed and applied in our design to optimize the proposed PFD. To obtain excellent current matching and minimum current variation over a wide output voltage range, an improved structure for the proposed CP is developed by fully utilizing many additional sub-circuits. Implemented in a standard 90-nm CMOS process, the proposed PFD achieves a phase error detection range from -354° to 354° and the improved CP demonstrates a current mismatch of less than 1.1% and a pump-current variation of 4% across the output voltage, swinging from 0.2 to 1.1 V, and the power consumption is 1.3 mW under a 1.2-V supply.

摘要：Wireless sensor networks have already enabled numerous embedded wireless applications such as military, environmental monitoring, intelligent building, etc. Because micro-sensor nodes are supposed to operate for months or even years with very limited battery power source, it is a challenge for researchers to obtain long operating hour without scarifying original system performances. In this paper, the energy consumption sources of the wireless sensor networks are firstly analyzed, with the digital processing and radio transceiver units being emphasized. Then, we introduce the design scheme of our energy-aware wireless sensor network (GAINS). In GAINS, techniques to conserve the energy are exploited including the energy optimization node, software and energy-efficient communication protocol. The design architecture of our ultra low power wireless sensor network (WO-LPP) is specially presented.

摘要：In this paper, a novel photonic crystal fiber （PCF） with high birefringence and nonlinearity is designed. The charac- teristics of birefringence, dispersion and nonlinearity are studied by using the full-vector finite element method （FVFEM）. The numerical results show that the phase birefringence and nonlinear coefficient of PCF can be up to 4.51× 10-3 and 32.8972 ***-1 at 1.55 μm, respectively. The proposed PCF could be found to have important applications in the polarization-dependent nonlinear optics such as the pulse compress and reshaping in the C waveband.

摘要：Electrocatalysis is a promising approach to clean energy conversion due to its high efficiency and low environmental pollution. Noble metal materials have been studied to show high activity toward electrocatalyltic reactions, although such applications remain restricted by the high cost and poor durability of the noble metals. By precisely adjusting the catalyst composition, size, and structure, electrocatalysts with excellent performance can be obtained. Atomic layer deposition(ALD) is a technique used to produce ultrathin films and ultrafine nanoparticles at the atomic level. It possesses unique advantages for the controllable design and synthesis of electrocatalysts. Furthermore, the homogenous composition and structure of the electrocatalysts prepared by ALD favor the exploration of structure-reactivity relationships and catalytic mechanisms. In this review, the mechanism, characteristics, and advantages of ALD in fabricating nanostructures are introduced first. Subsequently, the problems associated with existing electrocatalysts and a series of recently developed ALD strategies to enhance the activity and durability of electrocatalysts are presented. For example, the deposition of ultrafine Pt nanoparticles to increase the utilization and activity of Pt, fabrication of core–shell, overcoat, nanotrap, and other novel structures to protect the noble-metal nanoparticles and enhance the catalyst stability. In addition, ALD developments in synthesizing non-noble metallic electrocatalysts are summarized and discussed. Finally, based on the current studies, an outlook for the ALD application in the design and synthesis of electrocatalysts is presented.
