A permanent magnet BLDC(brushless direct current) motor is used to move the control rod of a miniature neutron source reactor(MNSR). The BLDC motor drive is modeled using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Two main parts of the modeling are the inverter switching and the current control. Current control with chopping used to minimize the torque ripple of the MNSR control rod drive. Fuzzy logic current control together with soft chopping control shows the best response of all the three strategies. The prototype drive mechanism has an ATmega32 controller and power MOSFET switches. The simulation results are compared with experimental drive mechanism. 相似文献
A new selective Nd(III) sensor has been made by using N,N′-bis(quinoline-2-carboxamido)-4,5-dimethylbenzene (H2L4) as a suitable ionophore. The sensor exhibits Nernstian response to Nd(III) ions in the concentration range of 5.0 × 10− 6 to 1.0 × 10− 2 M. It displays a Nernstian slope of 19.5 ± 0.4 mV/decade in the pH range of 2.9-9.2. The proposed sensor also exhibits a fast response time of < l0 s. The detection limit of the proposed sensor is 4.8 × 10− 6 M, and it can be used over a period of 10 weeks without significant changes in its response. Furthermore, the electrode showed high selectivity toward Nd(III) ion respect to all other lanthanide ions tested. The practical utility of the sensor was demonstrated by using it as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric determination of Nd(III) ions in certified reference material and spiked water samples. 相似文献
Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) show great promise as building blocks of future integrated circuits. However, synthesizing single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with accurate chirality and exact positioning control has been widely acknowledged as an exceedingly complex task. Indeed, density and chirality variations in CNT growth can compromise the reliability of CNFET-based circuits. In this paper, we present a novel statistical compact model to estimate the failure probability of CNFETs to provide some material and process guidelines for the design of CNFETs in gigascale integrated circuits. We use measured CNT spacing distributions within the framework of detailed failure analysis to demonstrate that both the CNT density and the ratio of metallic to semiconducting CNTs play dominant roles in defining the failure probability of CNFETs. Besides, it is argued that the large-scale integration of these devices within an integrated circuit will be feasible only if a specific range of CNT density with an acceptable ratio of semiconducting to metallic CNTs can be adjusted in a typical synthesis process. 相似文献
The S-transform presents arbitrary time series as localized invertible time–frequency spectra. This transformation improves the short-time Fourier transform and the wavelet transform by merging the multiresolution and frequency-dependent analysis properties of wavelet transform with the absolute phase retaining of Fourier transform. The generalized S-transform utilizes a combination of a Fourier transform kernel and a scalable-sliding window. The common S-transform applies a Gaussian window to provide appropriate time and frequency resolution and minimizes the product of these resolutions. However, the Gaussian S-transform is unable to obtain uniform time and frequency resolution for all frequency components. In this paper, a novel window based on the $t$ student distribution is proposed for the S-transform to achieve a more uniform resolution. Simulation results show that the S-transform with the proposed window provides in comparison with the Gaussian window a more uniform resolution for the entire time and frequency range. The result is suitable for applications such as spectrum sensing. 相似文献
FFT algorithms have memory access patterns that prevent many architectures from achieving high computational utilization, particularly when parallel processing is required to achieve the desired levels of performance. Starting with a highly efficient hybrid linear algebra/FFT core, we co-design the on-chip memory hierarchy, on-chip interconnect, and FFT algorithms for a multicore FFT processor. We show that it is possible to to achieve excellent parallel scaling while maintaining power and area efficiency comparable to that of the single-core solution. The result is an architecture that can effectively use up to 16 hybrid cores for transform sizes that can be contained in on-chip SRAM. When configured with 12MiB of on-chip SRAM, our technology evaluation shows that the proposed 16-core FFT accelerator should sustain 388 GFLOPS of nominal double-precision performance, with power and area efficiencies of 30 GFLOPS/W and 2.66 GFLOPS/mm2, respectively. 相似文献
The inelastic cross section of relativistic protons in Pb was determined indirectly by measuring the neutron distribution along a Lead spallation neutron source. The spallation neutron source was irradiated by 1, 1.5 and 2 GeV protons. The experimental results were obtained using passive methods. By the use of the beam attenuation coefficient, deduced by a fitting procedure of experimental data, the inelastic cross section of protons in Pb was determined. 相似文献
A Th4+ ion-selective membrane sensor was fabricated from poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) matrix membrane containing 2-(diphenylphosphorothioyl)-N′,N′-diphenyl acetamide (DPTD) as a neutral carrier, potassium tetrakis (p-chlorophenyl) borate (KTpClPB) as anionic excluder and o-nitrophenyloctyl ether (NPOE) as a plasticizing solvent mediator. The effects of the membrane composition, pH and additive
anionic influence on the response properties were investigated. The sensor, comprising 30% PVC, 63% solvent mediator, 4% ionophore
and 3% anionic additive demonstrates the best potentiometric response characteristics. It displays Nernstian behavior (15.2 ± 0.5 mV
per decade) over the concentration range 1.0 × 10−2–1.0 × 10−6 M. The detection limit of the electrode is 6.3 × 10−7 M (∼140 ng/ml). The response time of the electrode is 30 s .The sensor can be used in the pH range 3.0–9.0 for about 6 weeks.
The membrane sensor was used as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of Th4+ ions with EDTA. It was successfully applied to the determination of thorium ions in binary mixture. 相似文献
The objective of this research is determining the buckling load of composite truncated conical shells under external loading by theoretical and numerical methods. The boundary conditions are assumed to be clamped. At first, basic equations and stability relations of conical shells were derived. The analysis is carried out using Donnel-type stability equations for thin cross-ply conical shells. By applying Galerkin??s method, these equations are converted to a system of ordinary time dependent differential equations. Ritz method is employed for finding the dynamic stability load. Finally, the critical static and dynamic buckling loads and the corresponding wave numbers have been found analytically. Then comparison of results is considered. Results of analytical calculations are compared with numerical results and with other researchers?? analytical results. The effects of geometric parameters, the cone semi-vertex angle, number of layers and material of fibers on buckling loads are discussed. 相似文献
The aim of this paper is to develop a stochastic-parametric model for the generation of synthetic ground motions (GMs) which are in accordance with a real GM. In the proposed model, the dual-tree complex discrete wavelet transform (DT-CDWT) is applied to real GMs to decompose them into several frequency bands. Then, the gamma modulating function (GMF) is used to simulate the wavelet coefficients of each level. Consequently, synthetic wavelet coefficients are generated using extracted model parameters and then synthetic GM is extracted by applying the inverse DT-CDWT to synthetic wavelet coefficients. This model simulates the time–frequency distribution of both wide-frequency and narrow-frequency bandwidth GMs. Besides being less time consuming, it simulates several dominant frequency peaks at any moment in the time duration of GM, because each frequency band is separately simulated by the gamma function. Moreover, the inelastic response spectra of synthetic GMs generated by the proposed model are a good estimate of target ones. Using the random sign generator in the proposed model, it is possible to generate any number of synthetic GMs in accordance with a recorded one. Because of these advantages, the proposed model is suitable for using in performance-based earthquake engineering.
