Crystal and defect structures of La2/3 xLi3xTiO3 (x ~ 0.1) produced by a melt process

The crystal and defect structures of coarse-grained crystals of La(2/3-x)Li(3x)TiO3 grown from the melt by the Tammann-St?ber method were studied by transmission electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. The as-grown crystals of La(2/3-x)Li(3x)TiO3 have a Li-poor composition of La(0.57)Li(0.29)TiO3 and a diagonal-type unit cell of 2(1/2)a(p) x 2(1/2)a(p) x 2a(p) with the tetragonal symmetry [space group: P4/nbm (#125)] due to both the La-cation ordering and the tilting of TiO6 octahedra. The secondary La2Ti2O7 phase precipitates in the form of plates in the La(2/3-x)Li(3x)TiO3 phase with the orientation relationships of 001(p)//[100](La2Ti2O7) and {110}(p)//(001)(La2Ti2O7), which may cause detrimental effects to ionic conductivity.

The modifying effect of ortho-cresol on benzo(a)pyrene-induced carcinogenesis in mice

A modifying influence of ortho-cresol (o-cresol) on the carcinogenic effect of benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) in their combined peroral administration to CC57Br mice has been revealed. During the simultaneous administration of the o-cresol (1 mg) and B(a)P (1 mg) the rate of tumours, their multiplicity index, the degree of malignancy increased and the latent period shortened. In case of o-cresol administration before or after B(a)P (in the same doses) the decrease of carcinogenic effect has been revealed. In case of simultaneous administration of 10 mg of the o-cresol and 5 mg of the B(a)P the tumor incidence did not change in comparison with the animals of the control group which received only B(a)P. But their progression was hampered which was confirmed by a decrease of the malignancy rate, frequent occurrence and prolongation of the period of the malignization beginning.

A new method for preparing plan-view TEM specimen of multilayered films using focused ion beam

A new method is proposed for preparing plan-view specimens of a CeO(2)/Gd(2)Zr(2)O(7) multilayer on a metal substrate using focused ion beam milling. In the plan-view specimen, a membrane from the surface region of the CeO(2) to the Gd(2)Zr(2)O(7) layer was thinned to electron transparence so that the entire span of the multilayer can be observed in a single sample. The in-plane alignments of the CeO(2) layer and the Gd(2)Zr(2)O(7) layer were analysed using selected-area diffraction patterns (SADPs). The boundaries between the CeO(2) grains were also examined using SADPs.     

Comparison of GaAs grown on standard Si (511) and compliant SOI (511)

Gallium arsenide (GaAs) films were grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on a (511) silicon substrate and a compliant (511) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. The top silicon layer of the compliant (511) SOI was thinned to ～1000 Å. The five inch diameter SOI wafer was created by wafer bonding. The GaAs (004) x-ray diffraction (XRD) reflection showed a 25% reduction in the full width half maximum (FWHM) for GaAs on a compliant (511) SOI as compared to GaAs on a silicon substrate. Cross section transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) clearly indicates a different dislocation structure for the two substrates. The threading dislocation density is reduced by at least an order of magnitude in the compliant (511) SOI as compared to the (511) silicon. XTEM found dislocations and damage was generated in the top silicon layer of the compliant SOI substrate after GaAs growth.     

Modular design and improvement of the management system in the smart home with the use of interval multiset estimates

The paper addresses modular design and improvement/extension of the management system in the smart home and the building automation system (BAS). The design procedure is based on the hierarchical morphological multicriteria design (HMMD) approach: (a) construction of a tree-like system model, (b) generation of design alternatives for leaf nodes of the system model, (c) the bottom-up process: (i) selection of design alternatives for system parts/components and (ii) composition of the selected alternatives into a resultant combination. Here, the HMMD approach with interval multiset estimates for design alternatives is used. The system improvement scheme is based on the following: (a) upgrade of the system components (strategy 1), (b) system extension by adding an additional part (strategy 2). The multiple choice problem with interval multiset estimates for improvement operations is used in system improvement procedure. Two basic applied illustrative numerical examples are considered: (1) a modular management system for the smart home and (2) a modular building automation system consisting of four parts.     

Discrete-time local polynomial approximation of the instantaneousfrequency

The local polynomial approximation (LPA) of the time-varying phase is used to develop a new form of the Fourier transform and the local polynomial periodogram (LPP) as an estimator of the instantaneous frequency (IF) Ω(t) of a harmonic complex-valued signal. The LPP is interpreted as a time-frequency energy distribution over the t-(Ω(t), Ω¹(t)),...,Ω^m-1(t) space, where m is a degree of the LPA. The variance and bias of the estimate are studied for the short- and long-time asymptotic behavior of the IF estimates. In particular, it is shown that the optimal asymptotic mean squared errors of the estimates of Ω^k-1(t) have orders O(N^-(2k+1)) and O(N^-/2(m-k+1)2m+3), k=1.2,...,m, respectively, for a polynomial Ω(t) of the degree m-1 and arbitrary smooth Ω(t) with a bounded mth derivative     

A Standalone Burst-Mode Receiver With Clock and Data Recovery, Clock Phase Alignment, and RS(255, 239) Codes for SAC-OCDMA Applications

We demonstrate a standalone (no global clock) burst-mode receiver (BMRx) for a 7 times 622 Mb/s incoherent spectral-amplitude-coded optical code-division multiple-access system. The receiver provides the following functions: quantization (intensity noise filtering), clock and data recovery, burst-mode functionality (automatic phase acquisition) using a clock phase aligner (CPA), framing (for byte synchronization), and forward-error correction (FEC) using a (255, 239) Reed-Solomon decoder. The receiver provides an instantaneous (zero preamble bit) phase acquisition time for any phase step (plusmn2pi rads) between consecutive packets. With the CPA, we report a zero packet loss ratio (PLR) for up to four simultaneous users and more than a 300-fold improvement in the PLR for a fully loaded system. The BMRx also accomplishes more than 2.5 dB of coding gain, and achieves error-free (bit-error rate ) operation for a fully loaded system.     

Differentially coherent parallel interference cancellation for DS-CDMA

In this paper, we propose a novel differentially coherent (DC) parallel interference cancellation (PIC) scheme for direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) employing differential phase-shift keying (DPSK). The proposed scheme combines decision-feedback differential detection (DF-DD) and PIC. For optimization of the DF-DD and interference cancellation (IC) filters three different criteria are adopted. The first (DC-PIC I) and the second (DC-PIC II) criteria assume a constant channel and a channel with a small constant frequency offset, respectively, whereas the third criterion (DC-PIC III) optimizes the filters in the minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) sense taking into account the statistical properties of the underlying channel. Simulations show the high achievable performance and the robustness of the novel DC-PIC receiver. A comparison with linear DC receivers and a previously proposed DC-PIC scheme show the superiority of the proposed approach.     

Surface active buffered hydrogen fluoride having excellentwettability for ULSI processing

By incorporating selected hydrocarbon surfactants, a surface-active BHF (buffered hydrogen fluoride) has been tailored to achieve the following requirements: (1) the same etch rate as that of conventional BHF; (2) low contact angle; (3) nonsegregation; (4) nonfoaming; (5) low particulate count; (6) few impurities (possibility of purification); (7) low particulate adhesion on the wafer surface; (8) no surface residues; (9) excellent surface smoothness; and (10) high SiO ₂/Si etching selectivity. In order to satisfy these requirements, surfactants must satisfy the following characteristics: (1) good solubility in BHF; (2) hydrophilic property at the wafer surface, (3) nondecomposition in BHF; (4) nonreaction with BHF; and (5) sufficient lowering of contact angle at the critical micelle concentration (CMC). Aliphatic amines satisfy these requirements but have foaming problems. The requirements have been achieved using a binary surfactant system consisting of a combination of aliphatic amine and aliphatic alcohol or aliphatic acid     

Reduction of a micro-object's adhesion using chemical functionalisation

The adhesion and interaction properties of functionalised surfaces (substrate or cantilever) were investigated by means of atomic force microscope (AFM)-related force measurements. The surfaces were functionalised with a polyelectrolyte - poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) - or with silanes - 3-(ethoxydimethylsilyl) propyl amine (APTES) or (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APDMES). Measurements of forces acting between a bare glass sphere (functionalised or not) and a functionalised surface indicated repulsive or attractive forces, depending on functionalisation and medium (wet or dry). Adhesion forces (pull-off) can be observed in dry medium, whereas in wet medium this phenomenon can be cancelled. Now, the pull-off forces represent an important problem in the automation of micro-object manipulations. The cancellation of this force by chemical functionalisation is thus a promising way of improving micro-assembly in the future.     

Gain clamping in L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier using a fiberBragg grating

A gain-clamping technique for the long wavelength band (L-band) erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is presented. It uses a single fiber Bragg grating (FBG) on the input side of erbium-doped fiber (EDF) to inject a portion of backward conventional band (C-band) amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) back into the system. The use of a narrow-band (NB) FBG has shown a better performance in clamped-gain level and noise figure compared to a broad-band FBG. The amplifier gain for the NB FBG set up is clamped at 15.4 dB with a variation of less than 0.3 dB for an input power as high as 0 dBm     

A microcomputer-based power factor controller

The paper reports a laboratory model of a microcomputer-based power factor controller (PFC) for compensating the reactive power of rapidly varying loads by switching capacitors sized in a binary ratio, with the help of zero voltage static switches. Four types of control strategies were tried, viz., (1) unity step control method, (2) binary search method, (3) successive approximation method, and (4) look-up table method. Features like (a) independent control of current in each phase, (b) reactive current sensing and capacitor switching in one cycle, (c) zero voltage switching of static switches to prevent the occurrence of transients and harmonics, and (d) switch failure detection logic and their display, are all incorporated in the software programming. A comparative assessment of their performances using different control strategies has been reported. A number of experiments have been performed on this controller, viz., (i) experiments to verify the operating performance of the PFC under the four control strategies, (ii) experiments to prove its performance as a power factor controller and also (iii) as a static VAr compensator     

环Zn上椭圆曲线的密钥交换协议

设n=pq,p,q为奇素数,环Z_n上的椭圆曲线E_n(a,b)的SOM密钥交换协议与QV密钥交换协议均选取E_n(a,b)上的阶为M_n=lcm{#E_p(a,b),＃E_q(a,b)}的点G作为公钥(称G为基点),并且限定其对应的E_p(a,b)和E_q(a,b)均为循环群,这就限制了这两个协议只能选择一类特殊的椭圆曲线E_n(a,b)构作密钥交换协议.本文指出,E_p(a,b)和Eq(a,b)均为循环群这一限定是不必要的.本文给出了E_n(a,b)上存在阶为M_n的点G的一个充分必要条件,并给出一个例子,其中E_p(a,b)为循环群,E_q(a,b)为非循环群,且对应的E_n(a,b)上有阶为M_n的点G.同时,本文选取E_n(a,b)上阶为lcm{n₁,m₁}的点作为基点,这里n₁,m₁分别为E_p(a,b)和E_q(a,b)的最大循环子群的阶.这样,就能够选择更多的椭圆曲线E_n(a,b),用来构作密钥交换协议(包括将两方之间的密钥交换协议扩展到三方).
