 LI Chuang, CHEN Tian-ning

Micro mixer is an important part in bio-microfluidic chips. Since the cross section of the channel is of micrometers scale, the analysis would not get satisfactory result if we use general fluidic FEM. In this paper, a lattice Boltzmann method was used to simulate the characteristics of a micro mixer. Based on the computation of the flow speeds in the chaotic micro mixers with oblique grooves on the floors, the dispersive mixing processes of the trace sample particles in carrier flows were simulated, and the relation between mixing standard deviation and mixing passage length for the sample particles was investigated, which was found consistent with Gauss curve pattern. The simulation results agree well with the experiments data in the literature. Above results show that the lattice Boltzmann method could be used as a powerful tool for the researches of microfluidic mixers and microfluidic chips.

Heuristic Algorithm for Shortest Path Problem with Nonlinear Constraints

WANG Ze-yan, DIAO Xing-chun

Multiple constrained quality of service (QoS) routing optimization is one of important problems in current network research. A basic problem in QoS routing is the restricted shortest path problem (RSP), which is known to be non-polynomial (NP). Many heuristic algorithms with polynomial-time and pseudo polynomial-time complexity have been proposed to solve it. However these algorithms only deal with RSP with linear constraint and transform nonlinear constraint such as loss rate to linear constraint when confronting nonlinear constraint, which will increase the complexity of the problem. A new heuristic algorithm with pseudo polynomial-time complexity is proposed to solve RSP with nonlinear constraints (NRSP). The core of this algorithm is that the nonlinear constraints will not be transformed to linear constraints but as examining conditions. At each iteration step, RSP problem with linear constraint will be solved. If the solution does not satisfy nonlinear constraints, a new linear constraint is added to the original RSP problem. The aim of the new linear constraint is to eliminate the selected path, which ensures the algorithm succeeds to find a solution to NRSP once NRSP has a solution.

Accordingly the time-frequency correlation matrix for each source is formed by choosing the t-f points residing on its own auto-term region, separately. Then the traditional subspace based method is applied on this t-f correlation matrix to obtain the DOA estimates of multiple wideband sources. In contrast to the traditional method, the proposed method combines time-frequency analysis into array processing, and the DOA estimating performance is improved due to localizing the source energy while spreading the noise power in the time-frequency domain. Furthermore, the method is robust against noise and has a low computation load in constructing the time-frequency correlation matrix compared to the traditional t-f method. The computer simulation verified the efficiency of the new method. 

JPDA in Multisensor Multitarget Tracking

BA Hong-xin, ZHAO Zong-gu, YANG fei, CAO Lei

The Joint Probabilistic Data Association (JPDA) solves single sensor multitarget tracking in clutter, but it can not be used directly in multisensor multitarget tracking. This paper presents a method to implement multi-sensor multi-target tracking by combining maximum likelihood estimation with JPDA. The maximum likelihood estimation is used to classify the same source observations at one time into the same set, and then JPDA implements multi-target tracking after the position fused. The theory analysis and computer simulation show that this algorithm may achieve multi-sensor multi-target tracking perfectly with low calculation load added and higher precision.

Controller Design of Networked Control System Based on GASA

LI Yi, HU Bao-sheng, PENG Qin-ke

A hybrid scheme based on genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) is proposed in this paper to design remote PID controller in the linear networked control systems (NCSs) with single-packet transmission. This novel hybrid scheme is called GASA.GASA is used to select the best PID gains due to the network-induced delay. In the solution process, GASA executes GA and SA searches sequentially at different temperatures. The initial solutions of SA come from the evolution results of GA, while the solutions obtained by the Metropolis sampling in SA are the initial population of further evolution in GA. Temperature is updated by temperature-lowering operation. The violations of specifications such as percent overshoot and settling time are penalized in the fitness function of GASA. Numerical results on a test system using Profibus-DP network are presented and compared with results of the modified Ziegler-Nichols method. The results show the effectiveness of GASA in designing remote controller for networked control systems without any prior knowledge on network-induced delay.

WANG Xiang-hua, QIN Zheng, LIU Yu, SHI Zhe-wen

The air combat situation of fighter can be formulated as a vector, an element of which is a decision factor. Properly determining the weights of all factors is crucial for threat assessment. In this paper, radial basis function neural network was employed to approximate the nonlinear complex relationship of all factors. Analytic hierarchy process was used to form initial training patterns. Then an adjustment was given to adjust unreasonable training patterns among them. The resulting training patterns were supplied to RBF neural network. The experimental results show that RBF neural network can successfully approximate the weights of all factors.

HU Shao-lin, HUANG Liu-sheng

To design fault-tolerant filters for signal processing is very important in research for reliability and safety of technological processes. In this paper, a new kind of fault-tolerant filter is built for non-stationary process. The doubly sliding median filters and the sliding mean filters are combined to construct this so-called twice-median filter. This new filtering algorithm can be used to filter noise and to extract signals without removing any outliers before. Some theoretical results and simulation show that these new filtering algorithms have the abilities to avoid bad influence from outliers and patchy in sampling time series and to extract signals unfailingly. 

A Novel Blind Watermarking Scheme Using Perceptual Model to Improve Capacity

JIA Wei, ZHANG You-shen, ZHOU Qing-song

Perceptual model has important application in watermarking schemes. It can solve the conflict between imperception and robustness well. But the relationship between perceptual model and watermarking capacity has not been considered enough. In this paper, a novel blind watermarking scheme has been proposed. The watermarking capacity has been obviously increased using perceptual model. The embedded bit number can be decided by calculating the noise threshold of DCT coefficients. The larger the threshold is, the more the embedded bits can be. The relationship among imperception, robustness and capacity can easily be adjusted by using the scheme. The experiment results show that the scheme is rather effective.

Research on Train Running Line Simulation System

WANG GangZHAO Hai, WEI Shou-zhi, SU Yu

In the traditional Bayes decision fusion algorithm, fault decision of the fusion system often occurred because of the uncertainty or fixed value of conditional probability density. In this paper, a new improved Bayes fusion model, which introduced non-parameter estimation method into traditional Bayes fusion criterion, was proposed. In the improved model, judgment about the precision of conditional probability density was made after the decision based on Bayes maximum a posteriori criterion in the process of fusion, and conditional probability density was modified by the Parzen window method when the precision was lower than expected value. In the practical application, the method had been successfully applied in the temperature fault diagnosis system of Hydroelectric Simulation System of Jilin Fengman, the performance preceded that of the traditional Bayes criterion, and the correct ratio of diagnosis result had been efficiently improved.

FAN Shu-Hai, XIAO Tian-Yuan, QIAO Gui-Xiu, et al

Mass Customization is the most advanced production mode. In this mode, the enterprises can get more agility. The key to success is designing a linkage system that can bring together all the modules needed – instantly, costlessly, seamlessly, and frictionlessly. The great linkage system is the Dynamic Network. We can also regard it as an inside-enterprise “Dynamic Alliance”. Therefore, the authors bring forward three production line layouts which probably suit to the dynamic network of mass customization. The three types are the child production lines type, the C-shape lines type and the petal type. Then the authors analyze the nature characteristics of them, the optimization of weak coupling relations. Finally, a dynamic network of petal type is implemented in a QUEST-based simulation system. And the work flow of it is also described here.
