TL;DR: In this paper, a sliding mode control algorithm is presented for trajectory tracking of an end-effector on a constrained surface with specified constraint forces by using the theory of variable structure systems.
Abstract: A sliding mode control algorithm is presented for trajectory tracking of an end-effector on a constrained surface with specified constraint forces by using the theory of variable structure systems. The development of the algorithm is based on a new formulation of the dynamic model and the expansion of sliding surfaces to include the constraint force error. The proposed sliding controller is explicit, which ensures the occurrence of the sliding mode on the intersection of the surfaces. A detailed numerical example is presented to illustrate the method. >

TL;DR: In this article, a three direction observation method was developed to decide the magnitude and direction of principal stresses in silicon wafer, and the stress states in (100 and (111) silicon wafers after certain device processes were also measured and calculated.
Abstract: Two‐dimensional state of stress in (001) and (111) silicon wafer is studied with infrared photoelasticity. In two widely used groups of coordinate systems, the silicon piezo‐optical coefficient tensors due to photoelastic anisotropy of silicon crystal are derived. The relation between stress ellipsoid and refractive index ellipsoid is analyzed with infrared polarized light transmitting through the silicon crystal in certain directions. The applicability of the stress‐optical law in (001) and (111) silicon wafers is presented. A three direction observation method is developed to decide the magnitude and direction of principal stresses in silicon wafer. The stress states in (100) and (111) silicon wafers after certain device processes are also measured and calculated. Comparisons of experimental and calculated results are made.

TL;DR: In this paper, a composite microstructure consisting of upper bainite laths and lower Bainite plates, both carbide-free, plate (twinned) martensite, and carbon-enriched retained austenite, was produced by air-cooling a medium-carbon alloy steel (0.55 pct C, 1.35 pct Si, 0.78 pct Mn, 045 pct Mo) from 900 °C.
Abstract: A composite microstructure consisting of upper bainite laths and lower bainite plates, both carbide-free, plate (twinned) martensite, and carbon-enriched retained austenite, was produced by air-cooling a medium-carbon alloy steel (0.55 pct C, 1.35 pct Si, 0.78 pct Mn, 0.45 pct Mo) from 900 °C. Well-defined midribs and subunits were found to be associated with both the upper bainite laths and lower bainite plates, clearly showing that the two kinds of bainite growvia a sympathetic nucleation and growth process. The orientation relationship between the bainite and austenite, as determined by electron diffraction, showed that the close-packed planes in the two phases were separated by 0.5 deg and the close-packed directions were 1.9 apart. The habit plane determined from the midrib was (5 127)f, about 20 deg away from the nearly parallel close-packed planes (111)f/(011)b. The experimentally determined orientation relation-ship and habit plane (as defined by the midrib) were in good agreement with the predictions of the phenomenological theory of martensite crystallography.

TL;DR: In this paper, the gap-labeling properties of the energy spectrum for one-dimensional Fibonacci quasilattices were studied and the occupation probabilities on subbands of the hierarchical energy spectrum and step heights of the integrated density of states were analyzed.
Abstract: We study the gap-labeling properties of the energy spectrum for one-dimensional Fibonacci quasilattices. We have obtained the occupation probabilities on subbands of the hierarchical energy spectrum and the step heights of the integrated density of states. It is analytically proved that the step height is equal to {m\ensuremath{\tau}}, where the braces denote the fractional part, and m is an integer that can be used to label the corresponding energy gap. Numerical simulation confirms these results.

TL;DR: The magnetic-field-strength and quantum-well-width dependence of the ground-state energies of a magnetoexciton in a GaAs/Ga1-xAlxAs quantum- well structure are studied for arbitrary magnetic field strengths and it is found that the magneto Exciton in the l(e,h) = 1 state is more stable than in the e,h = 2 state.
Abstract: The magnetic-field-strength and quantum-well-width dependence of the ground-state energies of a magnetoexciton in a GaAs/${\mathrm{Ga}}_{1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathit{x}}$${\mathrm{Al}}_{\mathit{x}}$As quantum-well structure are studied for arbitrary magnetic field strengths. The results show that the energy of the magnetoexciton will increase with increasing quantum-well width and magnetic field strength. We also found that the magnetoexciton in the ${\mathit{l}}_{\mathit{e},}$h=1 state is more stable than in the ${\mathit{l}}_{\mathit{e},}$h=2 state.

TL;DR: In this article, a porous hydrogen diffusion anode was used and the results compared with those using a lead anode for the electrochemical reduction of glucose to sorbitol at a lead cathode.
Abstract: For the electrochemical reduction of glucose to sorbitol at a lead cathode the effect of varying the secondary electrode is examined. A porous hydrogen diffusion anode was used and the results compared with those using a lead anode. Reaction conditions involved change of pH from 3.5 to 9.5, temperature from 30 to 45°C and concentration of glucose from 0.5 to 2.5m. Using the gas diffusion anode, efficient operation was possible without a diaphragm and the cell voltage decreased by about 50% with no change to the efficiency of the cathodic reduction compared with the conventional divided cell with lead electrodes. Thus the power usage can be reduced greatly, which may influence competition between electrochemical and pressure hydrogenation routes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the multiplicative complexity of the two-dimensional discrete Hartley transform (2D DHT) over rational numbers has been shown to be 2 2n+1 -6(n-1)2 n -8.
Abstract: The multiplicative complexity or the two-dimensional discrete Hartley transform (2D DHT) or size 2 n ×2 n , where n is a positive integer, is determined. The method or deviation is based on linear congruences and a ring structure. The minimal number or real multiplications necessary to compute a length-2 n two-dimensional discrete Hartley transform over the field Q or rational numbers is 2 2n+1 -6(n-1)2 n -8. DHT (2 n ; 2) has the same multiplicative complexity as a corresponding real data 2D-DFT

TL;DR: In this article, the binding energy of the ground-state exciton in type-II quantum well structures, staggered and misaligned configurations, is calculated with a variational method, and the resulting binding energy in the InAs/GaSb structure for the zero field case is much larger than that reported previously by other authors.
Abstract: The binding energy of the ground-state exciton in type-II quantum well structures, staggered and misaligned configurations, is calculated with a variational method. The resulting binding energy in the InAs/GaSb structure for the zero field case is much larger than that reported previously by other authors. The effect of the electric field on the exciton binding energy is investigated. It is found that the behavior of the exciton formed by the electron and the hole within the right neighbour well of the electron is obviously different from that formed by the electron and the hole within the left neighbour well of the electron, that is, with increasing electric field, the binding energy decreases for the right-well hole exciton, and increases for the left-well hole exciton. Also, the semiconductor-semimetal transition is effectively influenced by the electric field.

TL;DR: A fast-converging Hamming net with two memory layers is proposed corresponding to two shiftable stages of feature extraction in the Chinese recognition system, and the attention shift process is realized automatically.
Abstract: The authors (1991) previously proposed a revised version of a holographic memory model based on adaptive feature detection with an attention shift switch. To implement it in a Chinese character recognition system, a fast-converging Hamming net with two memory layers is proposed corresponding to two shiftable stages of feature extraction in the Chinese recognition system. The attention shift process is realized automatically. The system was used to learn 50 Chinese characters. With a recognition test on a set of 30 samples for each character, a recognition rate of about 85% and a recognition speed of about 3.3 words per second were achieved. >

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the local asymptotical stability problem of continuous bidirectional associative memory and present some sufficient conditions which appear as a set of piecewise-linear inequality relations.
Abstract: The authors discuss the local asymptotical stability problem of continuous bidirectional associative memory (BAM) and present some sufficient conditions which appear as a set of piecewise-linear inequality relations. Some sufficient conditions for a desired equilibrium to be asymptotically stable are examined. For M library vector pairs to be memorized, the conditions appear as M(N+P) linear equations and M(N+P) piecewise-linear inequalities in N+P+2NP unknowns of entries of a, b, W and V. These results have practical significance in the hardware implementation of the BAM. >

TL;DR: In this paper, the mean-square stability of multidelay linear stochastic systems described by differential difference equations is investigated, which is independent of multiple delays in the system.
Abstract: Multidelay linear stochastic systems described by stochastic differential difference equations are considered. Criteria are established for mean-square stability, which is independent of multiple delays in the stochastic systems. These criteria make it possible to check the mean-square stability of the multidelay stochastic systems by testing several simple and explicit algebraic conditions. A specific example is given to show the applicability of the results.

TL;DR: It is shown that the electric field affects effectively the difference between the binding energies calcuated from a spatially-dependent-screening theory and those from a constant- Screening theory.
Abstract: The binding energy of a shallow acceptor in GaAs/Al x Ga 1-x As quantum wells subjected to a longitudinal electric field is calculated with use of a variational method. The spatially dependent screening effect is taken into account with an r-dependent dielectric function to evaluate the acceptor binding energy. The effect of the electric field on the spatially dependent screening of the acceptor states is investigated. It is shown that the electric field affects effectively the difference between the binding energies calcuated from a spatially-dependent-screening theory and those from a constant-screening theory

TL;DR: Gangling et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the biaxial yield strength of titanium sheet (commercially pure titanium) is about 40% greater than its uniaxual yield strength.
Abstract: This is a national problem. The experiments described show that the titanium sheet exhibits a remarkable anisotropy and biaxial strengthening effect. The biaxial yield strength of titanium sheet (commercially pure titanium) is about 40% greater than its uniaxial yield strength. It is worthy of special mention that the strengthening effect from the tests of the titanium pressure vessels is basically in good agreement with this experimental results (LI Gangling et al , 1989). The deviation brtween the theoretical and experimental values is only 4-7%.

TL;DR: It is shown that the equations depicting the continuous Hopfield model and the continuous BAM are the same, suggesting that the two models share common features in their analysis and design, though the functions and the structures of the two seem different.
Abstract: Bidirectional associative memory (BAM) is generally considered as a generalization of the Hopfield model. In the present work, it is shown that the equations depicting the continuous Hopfield model and the continuous BAM are the same, suggesting that the two models share common features in their analysis and design, though the functions and the structures of the two seem different. Several results of the Hopfield model are extended to the BAM, including the equilibrium characterization and the asymptotical stability, which are of practical importance in BAM design. >

Abstract: In this paper, we consider a class of quasilinear elliptic eigenvalue problems with limiting nonlinearity. First, we use the concentration-compactness principle to get the existence of a minimum ueH 0 1 (ω,R N ) of the minimization problem $$I_{\lambda _0 } = \inf \{ \smallint _\Omega (a_{\alpha \beta } (x)g_{ij} (u)D_\alpha u^i D_\beta u^j + h(x)|u|^2 )|u \in H_0^1 (\Omega ,R^N ),\smallint _\Omega |u|^{2n/(n - 2)} = \lambda _0 \} ;$$ then we apply the reverse Holder inequality to prove thatueL ∞ (ω, R N ).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the increasing absorptive OB, the behaviors of responding to inject signal, also the self-pulsing and chaotic phenomena in the excitonic OB systems.
Abstract: Some results of probing to the common properties, including bistability, transient behavior, and instability of the excitonic optical nonlinear dynamic systems, such as interaction of light field with carrier in semiconductor, or anharmonic vibration of lattice in ionic crystal, are presented. Since the excitonic optical bistability (EOB) was found, it has garnered much attention for its advantage in properties and application prospects. Some models have been proposed for different kinds of OB. However, so far as we know, there has been relatively less concern given to the common dynamic characteristics of these systems, which are significant for applications. On the other hand, the instability of the EOB device certainly has the same importance, the study for which is not ample yet. In this paper we study the increasing absorptive OB, the behaviors of responding to inject signal, also the self-pulsing and chaotic phenomena in the excitonic OB systems.
