Ring-network with a constrained number of consecutively-bypassed stations (1998)

A new technique combines prior graph theoretic and algebraic techniques for obtaining closed-form terminal-pair reliability expressions of ring topology networks. The applicability of this technique is illustrated by obtaining closed-form terminal-pair reliability expressions for dual counter-rotating ring networks that use both self-heal and station-bypass switches in which all components can fail. These expressions appreciably extend the utility of prior work on ring-network reliability by incorporating network configuration limitations caused by optical power loss constraints. The number of consecutively bypassed station failures in an optical fiber ring topology network such as those exemplified by FDDI rings or synchronous optical network (SONET) rings is limited by the optical power loss constraints. The combined graph theoretic and algebraic technique permits the incorporation of known results on the reliability of consecutive k-out-of-n:F systems so that closed-form terminal-pair reliability expressions can be derived. The results are a new approach to network-reliability analysis and appreciably extend known theory to new situations not previously analyzed. In particular, the combined graphical-algebraic analysis tool developed here allows ring-network designers to analyze the reliability of ring-network structures thought previously to be too difficult to analyze with closed-form expressions and to be amenable only to reliability approximation by simulation. We use this technique in our derivation of closed-form expressions for terminal-pair reliability in dual counter-rotating ring networks.
RF MEMS Switches Based on the Buckle-beam Thermal Actuator (2003)

In this paper, we propose series and parallel RF MEMS-switch configurations based on the buckle-beam thermal actuator. We demonstrate the feasibility of using this actuator in RF applications with processes and materials of standard microelectronics technology. The designed switches achieve simulated on-state insertion loss of 0.09 dB and off-state isolation of -19 dB @ 2 GHz. To ease the computation of the actuator displacement, we present a simple analytical model which is validated through the results obtained from simulations in CoventorWare™ and Sugar softwares.
Development of a New Australian Design Rule for Frontal Impact Protection (1993)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">A new Australian Design Rule (69100) for a full frontal impact test was developed using Australia's high seat belt wearing rate and US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 as the basis. This Design Rule sets performance requirements by way of injury parameters measured by instrumented dummies. The research included testing seven passenger car models to gauge current performance. This was followed by an occupant restraint optimisation program on one of these car models to provide an indication of potential for injury reduction. This work examined the effect on dummy kinematics (and its effect on injury potential) of emerging restraint technology such as buckle pretensioners, webbing clamp retractors, energy absorbing steering wheels and airbags.</div>
High‐Speed 3D Printing of High‐Performance Thermosetting Polymers via Two‐Stage Curing (2018)

Design and direct fabrication of high-performance thermosets and composites via 3D printing are highly desirable in engineering applications. Most 3D printed thermosetting polymers to date suffer from poor mechanical properties and low printing speed. Here, a novel ink for high-speed 3D printing of high-performance epoxy thermosets via a two-stage curing approach is presented. The ink containing photocurable resin and thermally curable epoxy resin is used for the digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. After printing, the part is thermally cured at elevated temperature to yield an interpenetrating polymer network epoxy composite, whose mechanical properties are comparable to engineering epoxy. The printing speed is accelerated by the continuous liquid interface production assisted DLP 3D printing method, achieving a printing speed as high as 216 mm h<sup>-1</sup> . It is also demonstrated that 3D printing structural electronics can be achieved by combining the 3D printed epoxy composites with infilled silver ink in the hollow channels. The new 3D printing method via two-stage curing combines the attributes of outstanding printing speed, high resolution, low volume shrinkage, and excellent mechanical properties, and provides a new avenue to fabricate 3D thermosetting composites with excellent mechanical properties and high efficiency toward high-performance and functional applications.
The Nuclear Taboo (2000)

More than a half century has passed since the first and last use of nuclear weapons in warfare. Thomas C. Schelling suggests that over the years a convention has arisen, one which provides strong evidence that nuclear weapons are under a curse. It is remarkable that nuclear weapons have not been used for so long. But is it true that there exists a taboo on their use?

Fast synthesis of 1,3‐DAG by Lecitase® Ultra‐catalyzed esterification in solvent‐free system (2011)

Lecitase® Ultra, a phospholipase, was explored as an effective biocatalyst for direct esterification of glycerol with oleic acid to produce 1,3-DAG. Experiments were carried out in batch mode, and optimal reaction conditions were evaluated. In comparison with several organic solvent mediums, the solvent-free system was found to be more beneficial for this esterification reaction, which was further studied to investigate the reaction conditions including oleic acid/glycerol mole ratio, temperature, initial water content, enzyme load, and operating time. The results showed that Lecitase® Ultra catalyzed a fast synthesis of 1,3-DAG by direct esterification in a solvent-free medium. Under the optimal reaction conditions, a short reaction time 1.5 h was found to achieve the fatty acid esterification efficiency of 80.3 ± 1.2% and 1,3-DAG content of 54.8 ± 1.6 wt% (lipid layer of reaction mixture mass). The reusability of Lecitase® Ultra was evaluated via recycling the excess glycerol layer in the reaction system. DAG in the upper lipid layer of reaction mixture was purified by molecular distillation and the 1,3-DAG-enriched oil with a purity of about 75 wt% was obtained.Practical applications: The new Lecitase® Ultra catalyzed process for production of 1,3-DAG from glycerol and oleic acid described in this study provides several advantages over conventional methods including short reaction time, the absence of a solvents and a high product yield.
Evaluation of delirium in critically ill patients: Validation of the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) (2001)

Improved axial position detection in optical tweezers measurements (2004)

We investigate the axial position detection of a trapped microsphere in an optical trap by using a quadrant photodiode. By replacing the photodiode with a CCD camera, we obtain detailed information on the light scattered by the microsphere. The correlation of the interference pattern with the axial position displays complex behavior with regions of positive and negative interference. By analyzing the scattered light intensity as a function of the axial position of the trapped sphere, we propose a simple method to increase the sensitivity and control the linear range of axial position detection.

Wavelet Shrinkage Denoising Using the Non-Negative Garrote (1998)

Abstract In this article, we combine Donoho and Johnstone's wavelet shrinkage denoising technique (known as WaveShrink) with Breiman's non-negative garrote. We show that the non-negative garrote shrinkage estimate enjoys the same asymptotic convergence rate as the hard and the soft shrinkage estimates. Simulations are used to demonstrate that garrote shrinkage offers advantages over both hard shrinkage (generally smaller mean-square-error and less sensitivity to small perturbations in the data) and soft shrinkage (generally smaller bias and overall mean-square-error). The minimax thresholds for the non-negative garrote are derived and the threshold selection procedure based on Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE) is studied. We also propose a threshold selection procedure based on combining Coifman and Donoho's cycle-spinning and SURE. The procedure is called SPINSURE. We use examples to show that SPINSURE is more stable than SURE: smaller standard deviation and smaller range.

Sensors for Electromagnetic Pulse Measurements Both Inside and Away from Nuclear Source Regions (1978)

For measuring transient electromagnetic fields and related quantities, one needs accurate broadband sensors with simple transfer functions. The various sensor designs developed to achieve this in an optimal manner are summarized. Such sensors are designed for use either in a "free space" environment (such as in an EMP simulator or on a system under test in such a simulator) or in a nuclear source region that includes local source current and perhaps conductivity. There are now numerous designs which have been iterated for improvements over the last decade.
Isolating System Faults on Vehicular Network Gateways Using Virtualization (2010)

The traditional vehicular network gateway takes charge of communication between different internal networks and helping the electric control units in vehicle to collaborate each other. Due to the increasing requirements on innovative applications such as infotainment systems and cyber-physical systems, there are significant efforts to have an external wireless network connection on the vehicles. Accordingly, the secure architecture of the network gateway that can avoid or isolate the malicious behavior of external nodes is very critical for the next-generation vehicles. In this paper, we design a safe vehicular network gateway by exploiting full virtualization technology. Since the virtualization adds additional overheads, we try to minimize this side effect while considering the security by carefully choosing the communication mechanisms in the virtualized gateway. In our preliminary implementation, we use Virtual Box to run Linux and QNX as guest operating systems, which handles external (Wi-Fi) and internal (CAN) networks, respectively. The performance measurement results show that the virtualization-based gateway adds only 10% overhead compared with non-virtualized gateway while improving the security. We also show that the multi-core processor can leverage performance improvement.

Processing array acoustic-logging data to image near-borehole geologic structures (2007)

Abstract Imaging near-borehole structures using acoustic-logging data depends on the data-processing method used. We demonstrate that extracting the up- and downgoing reflections from the data and using those separately for the imaging can significantly improve the image quality. A parametric wave separation is first applied to array data to separate direct and reflection waves. In particular, we use a transmitter array gathered from successive source positions to extract the upgoing reflection. Reflection data can also be enhanced by stacking data along the reflection moveout in array using approximate structural dip information. Implementation of this method to acoustic-logging data processing improves imaging quality, making it possible to image near-borehole geologic structures using conventional array acoustic-logging. A potentially important application of drilling steering is using logging-while-drilling acoustic measurements.

Optical Determination of Dielectric Constant in Black Phosphorus (1985)

Three components of dielectric constant along three principal crystal axes in black phosphorus are determined for the first time. Two of them are obtained from far-infrared interference spectra for thin cleaved samples. The remaining one is determined by analyzing far-infrared absorption peaks observed in p-type sample at 1.4 K, which are ascribed to optical transitions from the acceptor ground state to its excited states.

Structured logic design of integrated circuits using the storage/logic array (SLA) (1982)

The Storage/Logic Array (SLA), a form of structured logic derived from PLA's, will allow development of sophisticated computer aids for VLSI design. The AND and OR planes of PLA's are folded into a single AND/OR plane. The SLA is described and comparisons with programmable logic arrays (PLA's) are made. Segmenting SLA's with arbitrary row and column breaks results in functional duality of SLA columns and allows embedded memory elements. Arbitrary SLA cell placement permits topological optimization of modules and interconnect. SLA program logic symbols map directly to IC layouts. Cell set realizations of SLA's in I <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> L, NMOS, and CMOS are described and compared, I <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> L designs are not very practical, suffering from poor fanout.

Circuit for Impulse Testing of Gas-Tube Lightning Arresters (1972)

Telephone lines may be protected from lightning-induced surges by gas-tube lightning arresters. Typical arresters break down at 250-400 V dc. Breakdown voltage increases with the rate of rise of the applied voltage and may be two or three times the dc value at a rate of rise of 10 kV/μs. Lightning surges on telephone lines approach this rate of rise. The circuit described in this paper generates and measures ramps with linear rates of rise from 0.5 to 10 kV/μs chopped at 500-1500 V. In order to achieve ramp linearity and to minimize oscillations after the chop, stray capacitances and inductances must be made as small as possible. Construction and layout required to achieve this are described in some detail and typical test oscillograms at 0.5 and 10 kV/μs are presented in corroboration. Measurement accuracy is analyzed and maximum errors are estimated to be, for breakdown voltage, 3 and 10 percent at 0.5 and 10 kV/μs, respectively; and for rate of rise, 5 percent for all ramps. If greater accuracy is required, it can be obtained by correction for divider time constant errors and by further study of carbon resistor voltage coefficients.
Endophthalmitis following open-globe injuries (1998)

Endophthalmitis following open-globe injuries is caused by a specific range of microorganisms, of which Bacillus sp. and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus are the most frequent. Risk factors include the presence of an intraocular foreign body, injury inflicted by organic material, delay in surgery, and the type of wound involved. Despite important advances in medical and surgical management, this type of endophthalmitis continues to pose a poor prognosis. In this sense, we consider prevention to be the best approach. We report our protocols for the prevention and treatment of endophthalmitis following open-globe injuries, based on recent experimental studies on the ocular pharmacokinetics of antibiotics and on multicenter studies of the treatment of endophthalmitis.
Molecular basis of reduced or absent expression of decay-accelerating factor in Cromer blood group phenotypes (1994)

The human erythrocyte blood group system Cromer consists of high-incidence and low-incidence antigens that reside on decay-accelerating factor (DAF; CD55), a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane protein that regulates complement activation on cell surfaces. In the Cromer phenotypes Dr(a-) and Inab there is reduced or absent expression of DAF, respectively. This study investigated the molecular basis of the reduced DAF expression by polymerase chain reaction amplification of genomic DNA and RNA/cDNA obtained from Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines. Sequence analysis of the Inab propositus showed a single nucleotide substitution in exon 2 of the DAF gene and at the corresponding position in the cDNA, G314-->A resulting in Trp53-->Stop. This truncation near the amino terminus explains the complete absence of surface DAF in the Inab phenotype. A similar analysis was performed for two Dr(a-) individuals, including KZ, who was previously reported to be Inab phenotype but is now shown by immunochemical and serologic methods to be Dr(a-) phenotype. A single nucleotide change was found in exon 5 of the DAF gene, C649-->T resulting in Ser165-->Leu, which we had previously shown to lead to loss of the Dra epitope. However, two species of cDNA were found, one encoding full-length DAF with the single amino acid change and the more abundant species having a 44-nucleotide deletion. The 44 nucleotide deletion includes the single polymorphic site, which creates a cryptic branch point in the Dr(a-) allele that leads to use of a downstream cryptic acceptor splice site. This shifts the reading frame and leads to a premature stop codon that precludes membrane anchoring. Thus, the single point mutation in the Dr(a-) phenotype results in a novel use of alternative splicing and provides a molecular explanation for both the antigenicity and the reduced DAF expression seen in this phenotype.
