A novel type passive mixing device that causes the three-dimensional flow was proposed. This mixer consists of the integrated capillary bundle structure. And the capillaries ware cross-linked each other. So it is called cross-linked micro capillary filter. The mixing effect of the cross-linked micro capillary filter was calculated by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The fluid behaviour in the fine three-dimensional structure could be analysed by the use of CFD. In the result of CFD calculation, the cross-linked micro capillary filter estimated high mixing effect. Moreover, the mixing efficiency was become higher by change the cross-linked form. The calculation result was decided the form of the cross-linked micro capillary filter. And this filter was fabricated by application of the Deep X-ray lithography. To form the cross-linked capillary, it was operated twice exposures. In these exposures, respectively the exposure stage was tilted to difference angle. The cross-linked capillary filter fabricated in this way was applied to vertical fluid flow operation. This cross-linked capillary filter could hold and transmit the fluid by the switchover of in impressed pressure. Herewith the cross-linked micro capillary filter showed availability as high efficiency mixing device. 相似文献
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that may affect the autonomic nervous system (ANS) from 15 to 20 min before seizure onset, and disturbances of ANS affect R–R intervals (RRI) on an electrocardiogram (ECG). This study aims to develop a machine learning algorithm for predicting focal epileptic seizures by monitoring R–R interval (RRI) data in real time. The developed algorithm adopts a self-attentive autoencoder (SA-AE), which is a neural network for time-series data.
The results of applying the developed seizure prediction algorithm to clinical data demonstrated that it functioned well in most patients; however, false positives (FPs) occurred in specific participants. In a future work, we will investigate the causes of FPs and optimize the developing seizure prediction algorithm to further improve performance using newly added clinical data.
PID control has widely used in the field of process control and a lot of methods have been used to design PID parameters.
When the characteristic values of a controlled object are changed due to a change over the years or disturbance, the skilled
operators observe the feature of the controlled responses and adjust the PID parameters using their knowledge and know-how,
and a lot of labors are required to do it. In this research, we design a learning type PID control system using the stochastic
automaton with learning function, namely learning automaton, which can autonomously adjust the control parameters updating
the state transition probability using relative amount of controlled error. We show the effectiveness of the proposed learning
type PID control system by simulations.

To construct a “thinking-like” processing system, a new architecture of an adaptive associative memory system is proposed.
This memory system treats “images” as basic units of information, and adapts to the environment of the external world by means
of autonomous reactions between the images. The images do not have to be clear, distinct symbols or patterns; they can be
ambiguous, indistinct symbols or patterns as well. This memory system is a kind of neural network made up of nodes and links
called a localist spreading activation network. Each node holds one image in a localist manner. Images in high-activity nodes
interact autonomously and generate new images and links. By this reaction between images, various forms of images are generated
automatically under constraints of links with adjacent nodes. In this system, three simple image reaction operations are defined.
Each operation generates a new image by combining pseudofigures or features and links of two images.

The Quantum Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD-Q) method is a numerical method for solving the time evolution of the Schrödinger equation. It can be applied to systems of interacting particles, allowing for realistic simulations of quantum mechanics of various experimental systems. One of the drawbacks of the method is that divergences in the numerical evolution occur rather easily in the presence of interactions, which necessitates a large number of evolution steps or imaginary time evolution. We present a generalized (GFDTD-Q) method for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation including interactions between the particles. The new scheme provides a more relaxed condition for stability when the finite difference approximations for spatial derivatives are employed, as compared with the original FDTD-Q scheme. We demonstrate our scheme by simulating the time evolution of a two-particle interaction Hamiltonian. Our results show that the generalized method allows for stable time evolutions, in contrast to the original FDTD-Q scheme which produces a divergent solution. 相似文献
Fracture toughness of silicon crystals has been investigated using indentation methods, and their surface energies have been
calculated by molecular dynamics (MD). In order to determine the most preferential fracture plane at room temperature among
the crystallographic planes containing the 〈001〉, 〈110〉 and 〈111〉 directions, a conical indenter was forced into (001), (110)
and (111) silicon wafers at room temperature. Dominant {110}, {111} and {110} cracks were introduced from the indents on (001),
(011) and (111) wafers, respectively. Fracture occurs most easily along {110}, {111} and {110} planes among the crystallographic
planes containing the 〈001〉, 〈011〉 and 〈111〉 directions, respectively. A series of surface energies of those planes were calculated
by MD to confirm the orientation dependence of fracture toughness. The surface energy of the {110} plane is the minimum of
1.50 Jm−2 among planes containing the 〈001〉 and 〈111〉 directions, respectively, and that of the {111} plane is the minimum of 1.19
Jm−2 among the planes containing the 〈011〉 direction. Fracture toughness of those planes was also derived from the calculated
surface energies. It was shown that the KIC value of the {110} crack plane was the minimum among those for the planes containing the 〈001〉 and 〈111〉 directions, respectively,
and that KIC value of the {111} crack plane was the minimum among those for the planes containing the 〈011〉 direction. These results are
in good agreement with that obtained conical indentation. 相似文献
The specific absorption rates (SAR) determined computationally in the specific anthropomorphic mannequin (SAM) and anatomically correct models of the human head when exposed to a mobile phone model are compared as part of a study organized by IEEE Standards Coordinating Committee 34, Sub-Committee 2, and Working Group 2, and carried out by an international task force comprising 14 government, academic, and industrial research institutions. The detailed study protocol defined the computational head and mobile phone models. The participants used different finite-difference time-domain software and independently positioned the mobile phone and head models in accordance with the protocol. The results show that when the pinna SAR is calculated separately from the head SAR, SAM produced a higher SAR in the head than the anatomically correct head models. Also the larger (adult) head produced a statistically significant higher peak SAR for both the 1- and 10-g averages than did the smaller (child) head for all conditions of frequency and position. 相似文献
Copper-bearing deposits of China are statistically analyzed in terms of ore grade, metal amount and ore tonnage. Each of grade
and metal amount shows more or less a lognormal distribution. Analysis gives 10 copper metallogenic districts, each having
specific densities of deposit numbers and copper reserves larger than 3. Based on the ratio of copper in ore value (RCu), Chinese copper deposits are classified into two groups: mainly copper-producing deposits (MC: RCu⩾0.5) and accessorily copper-producing deposits (AC: RCu<0.5). The grade-tonnage relation of MC deposits can be combined by two exponential functions approximating high grade (>3.0%)
and low grade (<2.0%) parts. The critical copper grade, which is obtained from the low grade part of the relation, is 0.34%.
Chinese copper resources are concluded to become pessimistic, because some mines are working with grades close to this critical
value. Taking account of the fact that many copper deposits are actually polymetallic, Cu-equivalent grades, which are converted
from ratios of metal prices to the copper price, are also introduced. The critical Cu-equivalent grade of MC deposits (0.43%)
also suggests that Chinese copper resources are pessimistic. 相似文献
We discuss the depth of cavities and craters caused by hypervelocity impacts as a function of impact parameters such as impact velocity, projectile and target densities, and projectile diameter, in two extreme cases: the penetration of intact projectiles at low impact pressure and the hemispherical excavation at very high impact pressure. The relations between the depth and the impact parameters are obtained. Then, previous experimental results are compiled; crater depth normalized by projectile diameter and the ratio of projectile and target densities is plotted for glass, plastic, and metal projectiles and metal, rock, ice, foam, sheet-stack, and aerogel targets. The trends of the data are consistent with the relations in the extreme cases. 相似文献
