     Al2O3/(W, Ti)C ceramic nanocomposites were fabricated from nanocrystalline α-Al2O3, micro-crystalline α-Al2O3 and (W, Ti)C. The flexural strength and fracture toughness can be remarkably increased by adding nano Al2O3(11%) particles into Al2O3 matrix. The flexural strength, fracture toughness and hardness are respectively 840MPa, 6.55MPa·m1/2 and 20.1GPa. TEM experiments indicate that low contents of nano-particles could refine matrix grains, and the microstructure of the material is a homogenous skeleton structure. The fracture characteristics are mixed by inter-granular fracture and transgranular fracture. Strengthening and toughening mechanisms are interpreted due to intragranular and inter-granular grain synergistic residual stress, changes of fracture manner and  an increase of the fracture toughening.

    Hetero-structure and integration are always problems of a DNC system. Service component architecture provides a good specification and solution to eliminate these two problems. The main business functions of the DNC system were ascertained after referring to all kinds of documents and lots of DNC business systems, and a model of the DNC system based SCA specification was subsequently worked out. This model consists of  four layers: application layer which provides service interfaces for other applications, a service layer which offers services of business functions, a composite layer which supplies composites for services and an implementation layer which gives business logic and basal datum for composites. In addition, a detailed introduction concerning implementation by Java for the composite of initializing communication between serial ports and computers was provided.

    A hybrid-driving five-bar linkage mechanism is a new type of mechanism. The hybrid mechanism is a configuration combining the motions of two characteristically different electric motors by means of a five-bar mechanism to produce programmable output. Based on the study of the workspace of a hybrid-drive five-bar mechanism, the analysis of inverse kinematics and dynamics of the mechanism was developed, and a mathematical model of power calculation was obtained. In order to perform time-variety successive trajectory tracking, the PD control algorithm was applied to control the servo motor. The trajectory generation such as beeline and parabola was simulated with Matlab, and then the law of power distribution of trajectory generation was obtained.

    Both the advantages and disadvantages of traditional fault current limiting technology were analyzed. The analysis indicates that development of a new fault current limiter with economical and technological excellence was significant and urgent for present day power grids. With reference to the general operation principle of the saturated reactor, different topologies, and key obstacles encountered in engineering applications of the super conducting saturable magnetic core fault current limiter (SMFCL) were elucidated. Permanent magnetbiased saturated iron core fault current limiters (PMFCL) of various topologies were compared during their evolution process. Further, three novel topologies for threephase PMFCL were presented. Finally, four principal technological issues were raised with relative elucidation with regards of the optimal structure design of PMFCL.

    ZnO ring varistors are widely used in noise elimination of recorders. Important conclusions achieved by analysis were that the varistors with slow changing I-V curves are better than those with break changing for the elimination of high energy noise of recorders. However, it is quite the contrary for the elimination of low energy noise. The methods and the principles of the varistors sensitive voltage control were presented. Also, solutions of the devises sensitive voltage on a larger scale after being wedded were raised. The experimental results indicate that the analysis is correct and the methods are simple and effective.

     The dimension of a next input signal matrix can be determined by the variation of the condition number between current and previous steps, which are the datareuse factor and stepsize. Then the conflict between convergence rate and stable-state error was settled by these two dynamic factors. Simulation results show that under the presupposition of considerable computation reduction, the convergence rate of this algorithm is close to the high dimension situation, and the stable-state error is nearly the same as the low dimension condition. The convergence stability is also improved.

    Swimmer detection for visual surveillance of a pool was studied. A fixed camera installed on the pool wall can obtain a consecutive sequence of visual surveillance. A Gaussian mixed model was used to describe each pixel, and a selfadapted background model was set up, which can be updated.  The shadows and noises must be removed to obtain better results after the foreground objects are separated. The experimental results show that this method is effective in detecting swimmers and eliminating shadows.

    In order to eliminate the influence caused by the nonminimum phase characteristic of a common Boost DC/DC converter, Viswanathan K has proposed a novel tristate Boost DC/DC converter. For enhancing performance, the statespace averaging model of this converter was first presented in this paper. Due to  the nonlinear nature in this model, an inputoutput feedback linearization technique was adopted, and a complete controllable linear system was obtained. Then a statefeedback control strategy was designed based on this linear system. Simulation results show that the proposed control strategy can assure constant output voltage in a wide range, so as to realize the stability of the system during large fluctuation of power supply and load disturbance. Good dynamic performance can also be achieved.

    Abstract: A PID auto-tuning method based robust specification for integrating processes with time delay was proposed using two feedback loop design technique. A robust specification was proposed in this paper. An internal feedback loop was added and the integrating process was converted into a generalized stable process for the proportional controller in the feedback loop. So the common PID autotuning method can be used to tune the integrating process. With the proposed PID tuning method and the defined robust specification, the controller can overcome the structural limitation of a typical PID controller for integrating processes, and guarantee both robustness and performance. Simulation examples were given to show the superior performance of the proposed tuning method against other methods.

    Because of low-accuracy and easy-damage of the contact definite-length measurement, a non-contact continuous square billet online definite-length cutting system was designed based on machine vision. Through regular image capture, preprocessing and length calculation, the computer could calculate the length of the square billet on-line. For the definite length, the computer would send a cutting signal to the PLC, then the PLC would control the cutting machine, and the square billet could be cut to a definite length. At the length calculation stage, a forward contourtracking algorithm was presented by tracking the upper edge pixels, which could track the head of the square billet and accurately calculate the length. In addition, the multi-threading parallel process technique was applied, which could greatly reduce the runtime of the program. Experimental results show that this system can achieve the goals of realtime, stabilization and highaccuracy.

    Based on the  concept of clustering, this protocol adopts a kind of sleeping mechanism and selectivegateway mechanism. A protocol used for largescale wireless sensor networks—SSGM was proposed. This protocol adopts the passive clustering strategy to construct network topology. The selection of cluster head takes a mechanism, which is called “first declaration wins". The gateway was selected according to the rule of the  robust network and the equalization of energy consumption. Based on the assurance of high rate of coverage, some nodes were selected to keep sleeping, which accord with conditions. So this protocol can reduce unnecessary consumption of energy and the possibility of signal collision. Taking into account the robust network and the equalization and economy of energy consumption, SSGM can effectively prolong the lifetime of the network.

    To transfer the SolidWorks assembly model to the virtual assembly model, model transformation of a virtual assembly system was divided into two processes: the part model transformation and the assembly constraint model transformation. The OpenFlight database, which is a standard format for virtual simulation, was used to represent the part's multi-level model. An assembly restriction model was expressed by the object-oriented multilevel model. These two models were associated with each other by the nodes' name. The virtual assembly model was reconstructed on the virtual assembly system based on the OpenGL Performer. The results verify that this method is simple, feasible and extendable.

    The mechanics problems of a roadbed and pavement structure of a classified highway in a water net plain district were studied. Through the limited element method, the force influence zone of the roadbed under a heavy load circumstance was calculated, and the mechanical response of the pavement structure on a higher water table was analyzed. The roadbed supportability under different compactness and the water content circumstances was experimentally  studied. The forceinfluenced zone of the roadbed is over 2 meters under the heavy load circumstance so that  the roadbed height of the existing classified highway is not serious enough and that there is a much deeper area below ground within the force influence zone. Because of elastoplasticity variation of the soil, the elastic modulus of the Yellow River alluvial (silting) soil can not reflect the bearing capacity of a roadbed in a high water content situation. Under the standard axle load condition, the deflections of the road surface have reached to 34.07mm and exceeded the design value. The high water table gives much important influence to the fatigue life of the base and the sub-base, especially the subbase. Corresponding project countermeasures were put forward.

    Hydrogeological and engineering geological conditions of tunnels, in karstdeveloped areas, are always highly changing and complex. In engineering investigation work, it is difficult to prove positions, sizes and properties of bad natural geological bodies, which may induce geological hazards in the course of construction. In order to avoid security accidents triggered or produced by rough construction such as water flush, mud (sand) rush, collapse etc, it is urgent to do research on the predictions of bad natural geological bodies in the construction period. TSP can effectively predict positions, sizes and properties of bad natural geological bodies which are located 100~150?m ahead of the tunnel working face. Using TSP geological forecast technology to probe karst tunnels, several TSP forecast examples of the highway tunnel in a karst zone were thoroughly analyzed, the exact responses of underground river and karst caves were established, and the distinguishing rule was obtained.Future work for similar geological forecasts could be guided to some extent.

    The character of microbial morphology in a hangingmembrane phase and regular operation phase and the effect of removing dissolvable phosphate was analyzed in a device of BAF for the treatment of beer wastewater. It was shown that BAF can not  continually remove considerable soluble phosphate because the removal rate of phosphate quickly achieves a maximum but then is soon reduced. It was also found that microbial morphology was obviously influenced due to hangingmembrane, back washing, and the height of the filter material.

    An activated carbon fiber (ACF) was placed in a solution of ferrous sulfate at different conditions to improve its adsorption capacity.  The primary factors affecting phosphorus adsorption on a modified ACF were analyzed by the orthogonal experimental method. The best modifying conditions are that pH value is 3, the concentration of FeSO4·7H2O is 100kg/m3, the m(FeSO4·7H2O)/m(ACF)=2.5, and time of stirring is 3 hours. The modified activated carbon fiber was used to study static adsorption of phosphoruscontaining wastewater and the adsorption isotherm was determined. The effects of factors such as adsorption time, the amounts of ACF and the  pH on adsorption efficiency were studied. Experimental results show that a modified ACF  effectively removes phosphorus.

With forecast accuracy and the property of local concentration of a time-frequency domain and a related theory of a neural network, an ideal signal function can be translated into  a time-frequency interval number, and then a method was given to calculate the quantity of the neural network unit, and to approximate wave function. Finally a wave function with forward accuracy of time-frequency was applied to simulate a signal by a neural network.

    The delay-dependent robust stability for uncertain neutral systems with time-varying delay was studied. Based on the LyapunovKrasovskii functional approach, delaydependent robust stability conditions were proposed for neutral type uncertain systems with time-varying delay by introducing some relaxation matrices that can reduce the conservation of the criteria.  The conclusion was presented in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI), which allows the delay-derivative (t)≥1 and is less conservative than the existing results.Finally, a numerical example was given to illustrate the correctness of the obtained results.

    The function of activated carbons and activated carbon fibers were investigated in the process of combined treatment of pulsed streamer discharge when used for degradation of organic wastewater. The result shows that a synergetic effect has formed when the pulsed streamer discharge is combined with the activated carbons or the activated carbon fibers, and the degradation rate of methyl orange has been enhanced 22% and 24% respectively. The activated carbons and the activated carbon fibers primarily play a catalytic role in the combined treatment. The reaction mechanism is that ozone is induced to cause a radical chain reaction and generate hydroxide radicals by the activated carbons and the activated carbon fibers surface. Further data analysis indicates that regeneration of activated carbons and activated carbon fibers is achieved in this process. With the addition of H2O2, synergistic effects are generated for the formation of the hydroxyl radical, which raise the utilization ratio of O3 and UV. Furthermore, it is also helpful in the regeneration of the activated carbons and the activated carbon fibers.
