  Abstract:With fast development of information engineering and social network, people's locations can be conveniently sensed by spatial technology, such as global positioning systems (GPS), base stations, Wi-Fi access points and even from the appearances of the photos they have taken. The social networks and the online shopping platforms have been gathering billions of users, who share a large amount of images taken in places they live in and visit. We can leverage the social networks to express our opinions about the services and places of interest (POIs). The interactions among users, and user and POIs or services generate big social media data, which have rich information for user, location, and service cognition. Many real-time network applications rely heavily on the accurate social users' locations. How to sense the locations from multisource social media data is very important and challenging. Thus, in this paper, we give a systematic review of the works that combine social media and spatial technology for POI cognition and image localization. © 1963-2012 IEEE.

  Abstract:Microchannel plates (MCPs) are widely used as electron, ion, and X-ray detectors. The gain factor and time resolution of the MCP are strongly dependent on its operating and geometry parameters (applied voltage, length-to-diameter ratio, bias angle, and electrode penetration depth). Measurements about this dependence are sparse and do not cover the full range of the parameters. In this paper, 3-D single channel models are developed in computer simulation technology studio suit to systematically and comprehensively calculate the MCP gain and time resolution for various operating and geometry parameters. Furman secondaries electron emission model is employed in our simulation. Simulated result of the gain versus bias voltage is validated by the available experimental data. Finally, geometry parameters of L = 373.6 μm, D =10 μm, hin = hout = 5 μm, and θ = 12 are proposed to optimize the MCP performances. Simulation results show that the gain, mean transit time, and transit time spread of the optimized MCP are expected to reach 128 012, 128 ps and 19 ps at the applied voltage of 1000 V. © 2017 IEEE.

  Abstract:Partial or complete loss of the upper limb motor function has great impact on the activities of daily life (ADL) of post-stroke survivors. To improve the rehabilitation effect of fine motor function of forearms, a couple of recent studies focused on methods that try to decode the limb motion intent of patients through physical exercises. However, there exist a few studies on real-time active rehabilitation method for the classification of multiple hand movements. In the current investigate, a pattern-recognition based rehabilitation environment was set up using high-density surface electromyogram (HD-sEMG) and the real-time classification performance of 21 forearm motions was investigated with eight healthy subjects. The results showed that the average motion completion rate across all subjects was 91.17% + 2.86%, which suggests the potential of intention-initiated approach in assistive rehabilitation technique. © 2017 IEEE.

  Abstract:To guarantee the high stability and high precision of an off-axis thee-mirror optical system space camera, a integration front frame structure was designed to support the second mirror and folded mirror according to the characteristics of the same height of second mirror and folded mirror in optical axis direction, and a topology optimization method based on constraint mode and free mode was proposed to optimize the front frame structure. Then, the integrated structure was assembled into the entire camera after optimization, and the finite element analysis of static was carried out. The results show that the camera maintains excellent static performance with the optical tilt between the primary mirror and secondary mirror being less than 9″ and the optical tilt between the primary mirror and fold mirror being less than 22.4″, the optical eccentricity between the primary mirror and secondary mirror being less than 0.021 mm, meeting the tolerance requirement of system. By free modal analysis and test to the integrated front frame structure, the results verify the correctness of the design method. The proposed topology optimization method can efficient avoid the defect of topology optimization based on constraint modal frequency that there is no relationship between the constraint points. It can provide reference for design the space camera with high-resolution and wide field. © 2017, Science Press. All right reserved.

  Abstract:In this paper, a new type of micro imprint lithography assisted by electrostatic field was introduced, and an in-depth theoretical research was conducted on its technological process. First, numerical simulation software (COMSOLTM Multiphysics) was adopted to establish a transient simulation model for electrostatic filed assisted imprint lithography and discussed the evolution process of micro structure in different time domains. Then a detailed analysis was conducted on the qualitative relationship between the micro structure formation and simulation experiment parameters, during which it was found that properly reducing the polar plate spacing, template bulging period and increasing the bulging height, initial polymer film thickness and voltage were beneficial to formation of the micro-nano structure. Finally, a spherical cap micro structure with 31 μm hollow structure was obtained through optimization of the simulation experiment parameters. Compared with traditional imprint method, the electrostatic field assisted micro imprint, which is characterized by simple process and lower cost, can be widely applied to the micro electronic and mechanical system, photonics, genetics and tissue system etc. © 2017, Science Press.

  Title:Embedded nanogratings in bulk fused silica under non-diffractive Bessel ultrafast laser irradiation

  Abstract:We report the formation of embedded nanogratings in bulk fused silica under quasi-stationary field patterns generated by ultrashort laser pulses in nondiffractive modes. The zero-order Bessel beam consists of almost non-propagative light pulses distributed along a narrow micron-sized channel sustained over a large non-diffracting length. Upon multipulse irradiation, a regular pattern of nanoplanes is formed across the channel, spaced at approximately λ/2n. Applying an electromagnetic scattering model [A. Rudenko et al., Phys. Rev. B 93, 075427 (2016)], we associate the formation of nanogratings with multiple scattering from randomly distributed scattering centers created by laser light. Constructive interference between the scattered wavelets leads to periodic excitation enhancement without requiring explicit synchronism conditions. Permanent material modifications are found whenever the local carrier densities are maximized towards the critical value. Multiple periodicities are predicted, either implicitly related to the coherent electromagnetic interaction or due to periodic field depletion and photon replenishment. © 2017 Author(s).

  Abstract:By taking the advantage of inherent core-cladding eccentricities in standard single-mode fibers, in this letter, we propose and demonstrate an efficient method to fabricate helical long-period fiber gratings (H-LPFGs) by directly twisting fibers. In the fabrication process, we use a double-beam CO2 laser for heating the fiber stably and uniformly, together with an online scheme for monitoring the spectrum. Compared with other fabrication methods reported, the quality of H-LPFGs we fabricated is improved significantly, showing a high extinction ratio of over 30 dB and a low insertion loss of 1 dB. Based on the fact that H-LPFGs with different pitches for specific mode couplings can be fabricated efficiently and controllably, to the best of our knowledge, we actually achieve H-LPFGs with the highest quality up to now, which may find important applications, such as filtering, sensing, and optical vortex generation. © 2017 IEEE.

  Abstract:Improved rate equations are established for the new model of index-crossover gain guided-index antiguided (IGG-IAG) fiber, then the pump and signal light power distribution along the IGG-IAG fiber are investigated. Based on the thermal conduction equations, the 3D temperature distributions of a one-end-pumped and dual-end-pumped Nd3+-doped IGG-IAG fiber laser are further analyzed. The simulation results show that many factors have an important influence on fiber temperature. The temperature of the fiber with the dual-end-pump method is obviously lower than that with the one-end-pump method, and the temperature distribution is more uniform. The larger the R value, the lower the fiber temperature, and the smaller the -Δn, the lower the fiber temperature. Thus proper fiber parameters and pump scheme may help to reduce the fiber temperature. © 2017 Astro Ltd.
