Methods for In-Flight Wing Shape Predictions of Highly Flexible Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: Formulation of Ko Displacement Theory (2010)

The Ko displacement theory is formulated for a cantilever tubular wing spar under bending, torsion, and combined bending and torsion loading. The Ko displacement equations are expressed in terms of strains measured at multiple sensing stations equally spaced on the surface of the wing spar. The bending and distortion strain data can then be input to the displacement equations to calculate slopes, deflections, and cross-sectional twist angles of the wing spar at the strain-sensing stations for generating the deformed shapes of flexible aircraft wing spars. The displacement equations have been successfully validated for accuracy by finite-element analysis. The Ko displacement theory that has been formulated could also be applied to calculate the deformed shape of simple and tapered beams, plates, and tapered cantilever wing boxes. The Ko displacement theory and associated strain-sensing system (such as fiber optic sensors) form a powerful tool for in-flight deformation monitoring of flexible wings and tails, such as those often employed on unmanned aerial vehicles. Ultimately, the calculated displacement data can be visually displayed in real time to the ground-based pilot for monitoring the deformed shape of unmanned aerial vehicles during flight.
Architecture and design of a diagnostic information fusion system (2001)

This paper introduces an architecture for aggregation of output from different diagnostic tools. The diagnostic fusion tool deals with conflict resolution, where diagnostic tools disagree; temporal information discord, where the estimate of different tools is separated in time; differences in information updates, where the classifiers are updated at different rates; fault coverage discrepancies; and integration of a priori performance specifications. To this end, a hierarchical weight manipulation approach is introduced which creates and successively refines a fused output. The performance of the fusion tool is evaluated throughout its design. This allows impact assessment of adding heuristics and enables early tuning of parameters. Results obtained from diagnosing on-board faults from aircraft engines are shown which demonstrate the fusion tool's operation.

Communication-optimal maintenance of replicated information (2002)

It is shown that keeping track of history allows significant improvements in the realistic model of communication complexity of dynamic network protocols. The communication complexity for solving an arbitrary graph problem is improved from Theta (E) to Theta (V), thus achieving the lower bound. Moreover, O(V) is also the amortized complexity of solving an arbitrary function (not only graph functions) defined on the local inputs of the nodes. As a corollary, it is found that amortized communication complexity, i.e. incremental cost of adapting to a single topology change, can be smaller than the communication complexity of solving the problem from scratch. The first stage in the solution is a communication-optimal maintenance of a spanning tree in a dynamic network. The second stage is the optimal maintenance of replicas of databases. An important example of this task is the problem of updating the description of the network's topology at every node. For this problem the message complexity is improved from O(EV) to Theta (V). The improvement for a general database is even larger if the size of the database is larger than E.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Conjugacy of CNA pulsations and their source movement in the auroral zones (1991)

A statistical character of seasonal variation for the conjugacy of quasi periodic cosmic radio noise absorption (called CNA pulsation) is studied with the chart paper measured at Syowa Station in Antarctica and its magnetically conjugate Husafell Station in Iceland. On the basis of the analyses of relative phase difference of the CNA pulsation for two cases among three stations in Iceland, the direction of source movement is also studied. The results indicate that the sources of CNA pulsation of Pc 3 and Pc 5 range in the prenoon sector moved generally from north (or high latitude) to south (or low latitude) direction, and from east to west direction, while the source of CNA pulsation at Pc 5 range in the morning sector moved primarily from south to north direction, and from east to west direction.

SOLAR: Sparse Orthogonal Learned and Random Embeddings (2020)

Dense embedding models are commonly deployed in commercial search engines, wherein all the document vectors are pre-computed, and near-neighbor search (NNS) is performed with the query vector to find relevant documents. However, the bottleneck of indexing a large number of dense vectors and performing an NNS hurts the query time and accuracy of these models. In this paper, we argue that high-dimensional and ultra-sparse embedding is a significantly superior alternative to dense low-dimensional embedding for both query efficiency and accuracy. Extreme sparsity eliminates the need for NNS by replacing them with simple lookups, while its high dimensionality ensures that the embeddings are informative even when sparse. However, learning extremely high dimensional embeddings leads to blow up in the model size. To make the training feasible, we propose a partitioning algorithm that learns such high dimensional embeddings across multiple GPUs without any communication. This is facilitated by our novel asymmetric mixture of Sparse, Orthogonal, Learned and Random (SOLAR) Embeddings. The label vectors are random, sparse, and near-orthogonal by design, while the query vectors are learned and sparse. We theoretically prove that our way of one-sided learning is equivalent to learning both query and label embeddings. With these unique properties, we can successfully train 500K dimensional SOLAR embeddings for the tasks of searching through 1.6M books and multi-label classification on the three largest public datasets. We achieve superior precision and recall compared to the respective state-of-the-art baselines for each of the tasks with up to 10 times faster speed.
On the mode-dependent loss compensation for mode-division multiplexed systems (2013)

Mode-division multiplexing has emerged as an imminent step to increase the capacity of long-haul transmission systems and avoid the so-called “capacity crunch”. One way to realize such systems is by means of few-mode fibers (FMFs). One of the challenges that has to be addressed in order to implement FMF-based commercial systems is the mitigation of mode-dependent loss (MDL). All kinds of inline optical devices can attenuate or amplify the modes differently, leading to different performance among the modes. This paper presents simulations, which study the system MDL tolerance under the influence of mode coupling and possible methods to improve the performance of MDL-impaired systems. We find that the combination of strong mode coupling and advanced detection schemes, such as maximum-likelihood (ML) detection can improve the system performance in the presence of MDL. However, the effectiveness of ML detection has to be traded off with its larger computational complexity compared to linear equalization such as minimum mean square error equalization.
A numerical study of ultra-short-pulse reflectometry (1994)

Ultra-short-pulse reflectometry is studied by means of the numerical integration of a one-dimensional full-wave equation for ordinary modes propagating in a plasma. The numerical calculations illustrate the potential of using the reflection of ultra-short-pulse, microwaves as an effective probe of the density profile even in the presence of significant density fluctuations. The difference in time delays of differing frequency components of the microwaves can be used to deduce the density profile. The modification of the reflected pulses in the presence of density fluctuations is examined and can be understood based on considerations of Bragg resonance. A simple and effective profile-reconstruction algorithm using the zero-crossings of the reflected pulse and subsequent Abel inversion is demonstrated. The robustness of the profile reconstruction algorithm in the presence of a sufficiently small amplitude density perturbation is assessed.
Coherent Compton X-Ray Sources (1994)

Coherent x rays can be produced by scattering of laser light by a beam of relativistic electrons, provided that the electron beam is density modulated or the scattering is done at, or near, 90°. Since the coherent scattering is proportional to N 2 , where N is the number of electrons, and the incoherent scattering is proportional to N, also a modest degree of coherence can substantially increase the x-ray yield. The theory of laser-electron-beam scattering is reviewed and compared with the emission of radiation by an electron beam in an undulator. Examples of the practical implementation of an intense source of coherent x rays are discussed.

Newton Method and Trajectory-Based Method for Solving Power Flow Problems: Nonlinear Studies (2015)

This paper analyzes the convergence properties and convergence region of a class of trajectory-based power flow methods. The convergence region of the trajectory-based method is a connected set and possesses the near-by property. The convergence region of Newton method and trajectory-based method in solving power flow problems are numerically investigated. Since the convergence region of trajectory-based method corresponds to the stability region of the nonlinear dynamic system, the stability regions of two dynamic systems are computed. The numerical results indicate that the stability region of the dynamic system possesses better geometry features than the convergence region of Newton method. These properties make the trajectory-based power flow method robust, especially on heavy loading conditions.

Synthesizing multimodal utterances for conversational agents (2004)

Abstract Conversational agents are supposed to combine speech with non‐verbal modalities for intelligible multimodal utterances. In this paper, we focus on the generation of gesture and speech from XML‐based descriptions of their overt form. An incremental production model is presented that combines the synthesis of synchronized gestural, verbal, and facial behaviors with mechanisms for linking them in fluent utterances with natural co‐articulation and transition effects. In particular, an efficient kinematic approach for animating hand gestures from shape specifications is presented, which provides fine adaptation to temporal constraints that are imposed by cross‐modal synchrony.

Generalized Nash Equilibrium Model of the Service Provisioning Problem in Multi-Cloud Competitions (2018)

With the development of cloud computing, heterogeneous service providers can publish services in the cloud market under the multi-cloud environment. As the cloud market expands, the relationship between service providers and users is changing. Users as rational individuals are no longer limited to choosing a single service provider, but observe the dynamic changes of services in the multi-cloud service market and choose services with better utilities; service providers need to consider the service selected situation in the market, and adjust service providing strategies to win the market share competition. It has been a great challenge for multi-cloud service providers to develop an effective service provisioning strategy according to the service changing utilities, user's service choice behavior, etc. This paper uses a non-cooperative game theory to study this service provisioning problem in multi-cloud competitions. The contributions are: (1) referring to the market economic theory, the changes of the service quality are added to the user choice model and described the influence to the multi-cloud competitions; (2) using the game theory, the problem is transformed into the GNEP (Generalized Nash Equilibrium Problem); (3) The existence of the GNE (Generalized Nash Equilibrium) solution is proved and an algorithm is proposed for providers to obtain the best market share and make the provisioning strategy. At last, we conduct simulation experiments on Matlab. The results show that the GNE method can improve the cloud service market share of providers and help providers propose effective service provisioning strategies.
Field Tests and Analytical Model for Estimating the Effects of Anchor-Root at the Bottom of Full-Length Bond Bolt (2009)

The enlarged anchor-root at the bottom for rock bolts is considered as the very helpful measure for improving the anti-pullout capacity of transmission tower foundation design in mountain area. It is a key problem for estimating the action of anchor-root at the bottom of full-length bonded rock bolts. Two types of bolts tests were carried out in field to study the action effect of anchor-root. Both the conventional root and the enlarged anchor-root are used for field tests. According to tested results, two types curve characteristics of axis force along depth were compared and studied. The mechanism of anchor-root action effects was investigated on the basis of the fitting analysis on the tested results. Further, the analytical formulation for evaluating the behavior of the enlarged anchor root is derived and obtained. The analytical model results agreed quite well with both the field tested results. On the basis of curve characteristics of bolt axis force, a theory of the anchor-root role is equivalent to bond length added was proposed and the analytical model was presented in this paper. Compared with measured data, this model can accordingly be used to predict the action of anchor-root at the bottom of full-length bond bolt.
Chemical Remediation of an Ordnance-Related Compound: The Alkaline Hydrolysis of CL-20. Environmental Quality Technology Program (2007)

Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazatetracyclo [5.5.0.05,9.03,11] dodecane) or CL-20 has attracted attention as a possible replacement for, or inclusion in, military and space propellants and explosives. CL-20 is a polycyclic nitramine with a higher crystal density, a higher heat of formation, and a better oxidizer-to-fuel ratio than conventional nitramines used in propellants. The effective life cycle management of CL-20 requires development of knowledge and technologies related to the consequences and attributes of CL-20 that may be introduced into the environment. This research assessed the feasibility of using alkaline hydrolysis to treat water contaminated with CL-20. Two concentrations of the explosive were tested at pH values ranging from 10.0 to 13.0. Samples were taken from the batch reactor, quenched, and neutralized. One subsample was extracted and analyzed for explosives concentration using HPLC, and a second subsample was analyzed for anion content by IC. Alkaline hydrolysis proved to be an effective technique to degrade CL-20, as CL-20 was completely removed from aqueous solutions at all the pH levels evaluated. The reaction kinetics showed a strong dependence on the hydroxide ion concentration. Formate was indicated as an end product of the reaction.
An object oriented approach to web-based applications design (1998)

In this paper we discuss the use of an object-oriented approach for web-based applications design, based on a method named Object-Oriented Hypermedia Design Method (OOHDM). We first motivate our work discussing the problems encountered while designing large scale, dynamic web-based applications, which combine complex navigation patterns with sophisticated computational behavior. We argue that a method providing systematic guidance to design is needed. Next, we introduce OOHDM, describing its main activities, namely: conceptual design, navigational design, abstract interface design and implementation, and discuss how OOHDM designs can be implemented in the WWW. Finally, related work and future research in this area are further discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
