A carbonator is described as a fast fluidized bed reactor to capture CO2. The proposed mathematical model is validated by literatures and experimental data. In our approach, the bed temperature and inventory weight are used to optimize the reactor design and the water gas shift (WGS) reaction with calcium oxide improves the hydrogen production under the modified WGS kinetics. It is validated that...
A dual-mode bandpass filter with compact size is proposed by using a new type of rotational symmetric dual-mode rectangular resonator. Due to the feed structure, two transmission zeros are generated near the lower and upper passbands to improve the skirt-selectivity of the filter. By adjusting the mutual coupling between the loading meander-line loop resonators, one transmission pole and neighboring...
Brain-inspired models have become a focus in artificial intelligence field. As a biologically plausible network, the recurrent neural network in reservoir computing framework has been proposed as a popular model of cortical computation because of its complicated dynamics and highly recurrent connections. To train this network, unlike adjusting only readout weights in liquid computing theory or changing...

The electrochromic device is simultaneously not only having high optical modulation but also IR-suppression by using the multilayered AZO/Ag/AZO structure. The AZO/Ag/AZO structure is using to be transparent electrode and the nano-crystalline WO3 is using to be electrochromic layer. The electrochromic...
Single feature is difficult to achieve a comprehensive description of the complex orbiting spacecraft telemetry data characteristics and is easy to lose telemetry data information, but the statistical distribution operators can fully reflect the characteristics of statistical distribution information. Aiming at the orbiting telemetry data which meets the character of local stability, we propose an...
A white surface soft layer of phosphate coated steels, obtained after the quenching and tempering for increase strength, is a problem in the cold formed parts. This paper discusses the heat treatment effect including atmosphere on the microstructural changes of the phosphate coated steels for clarify the mechanism to the formation of this white layer. A phosphorus-rich ferrite layer can be easily...
In this paper, we proposed the high transparent digital television (DTV) antenna. The used transparent material is based on nano-structured thin film coating on the glass substrate for achieving the transparency up to 80%. The substrate dimension size of the proposed design is 200 × 150 mm2. The proposed antenna has radiation efficiency of 66.52% and having the bandwidth of 0.46–0.66 GHz. The proposed...
This paper proposed a wireless, multi-parameter plant growth monitoring and control system for quality agriculture application. With the collection and analytics of one-week weather forecast information, the developed system can optimize the plant growth condition by adjusting major growth parameters including environmental temperature, humidity, soil water and illumination data and controlled actuators...
This paper proposes a new SSD cache architecture, DEFT-cache, Delayed Erasing and Fast Taping, that maximizes I/O performance and reliability of RAID storage. First of all, DEFT-Cache exploits the inherent physical properties of flash memory SSD by making use of old data that have been overwritten but still in existence in SSD to minimize small write penalty of RAID5/6. As data pages being overwritten...
In this work, we present a new microfluidic particle-analyzing device with a spatially coplanar-electrode design. To achieve effective particle analysis, 4 coplanar electrodes were designed and fabricated on glass substrates. Different from traditional cross-channel electrodes in impedance sensing, the coplanar design can be achieved without precise alignment issue, which is the major obstacle of...
This paper introduces a novel fault model, called the dual-cell-aware (DCA) fault model, which targets the short defects locating between two adjacent standard cells placed in the layout. A layout-based methodology is also presented to automatically extract valid DCA faults from targeted designs and cell libraries. The identified DCA faults are outputted in a format that can be applied to a commercial...
We study a novel problem of influence maximization in trajectory databases that is very useful in precise locationaware advertising. It finds k best trajectories to be attached with a given advertisement and maximizes the expected influence among a large group of audience. We show that the problem is NP-hard and propose both exact and approximate solutions to find the best set of trajectories. We...
In this paper, a blind bandwidth extension algorithm for music signals has been proposed. This method applies the K-means algorithm to firstly cluster audio data in the feature space, and constructs multiple envelope predictors for each cluster accordingly using Support Vector Regression (SVR). A set of well-established audio features for Music Information Retrieval (MIR) has been used to characterize...
In recent years, the demand for memory performance has grown rapidly due to the increasing number of cores on a single CPU, along with the integration of graphics processing units and other accelerators. Caching has been a very effective way to relieve bandwidth demand and to reduce average memory latency. As shown by the cache feature table in Fig. 23.9.1, there is a big latency gap between SRAM...
Mobile applications, such as smartphones streaming HD videos or virtual-reality headsets rendering 3D landscapes, need SRAM memories that can be put in a low-power state to extend battery life, but can also offer high performance operation when required [1]. This paper will merge a 10nm technology with a dual-rail SRAM architecture to achieve superior power savings and performance scaling in comparison...
A small embedded long-term evolution/wireless wide area network (LTE/WWAN) antenna integrated with the keyboard ground plane in a laptop computer is presented. The antenna is installed on a notched region (40 mm × 8 mm) of the keyboard ground plane. This antenna can not only be configured to have a compact configuration but also be designed to excite several resonant modes of the hinge slot between...

Combining humidity control and layer-by-layer Ag mirror reaction, the proposed process technology can accomplish a fully...
In online social networks (OSNs), highly-connected users are generally more capable to trigger viral diffusion. However, recent research demonstrates that ordinary users who only have a few connections can also cause large-scale diffusion. In this paper, we study the relation between the global spreading influence and the local connections of users to theoretically explain this phenomenon. We focus...
In this paper, we consider a distributed load control problem for achieving supply-demand balance and frequency regulation in a power system. While most of the distributed load control schemes require the loads to exchange information through two-way communications, recent results have shown that it is possible to achieve fully distributed control by frequency-based imbalance estimation. However,...
Min-Hash, as a member of the Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) family for sketching sets, plays an important role in the big data era. It is widely used for efficiently estimating similarities of bag-of-words represented data and has been extended to dealing with multi-sets and real-value weighted sets. Improved Consistent Weighted Sampling (ICWS) has been recognized as the state-of-the-art for real-value...
