Abstract:
A method and a traffic prediction and control system (TPCS) for predicting and controlling vehicle traffic flow through a traffic intersection dynamically with proximal traffic intersections are provided. The TPCS dynamically receives sensor data from sensors at a local traffic intersection, determines traffic flow parameters, and determines a traffic flow flux using the traffic flow parameters. The TPCS dynamically receives analytical parameters from sensors at proximal traffic intersections and determines a minimum safe driving distance between leading and trailing vehicles, a traffic free flow density, a synchronized traffic flow density, and a traffic jam density to predict transitions of the vehicle traffic flow across traffic flow phases through the local traffic intersection. The TPCS controls the vehicle traffic flow by dynamically adjusting duration of traffic signals of the local traffic intersection and transmitting traffic signal time adjustment instructions to the proximal traffic intersections to maintain an optimized traffic flow flux.
Abstract:
A control circuit is configured for controlling a power switch to regulate an output of a power converter. The control circuit is configured to increase a switching frequency of the power switch when a first signal representing a magnitude of the power converter is below a first output level. In some embodiment, the first output level is selected such that when the first signal is below the first output level, the power converter may generate audible noise. In an embodiment, when the first signal is above the first output level, the control circuit is configured to turn off the power switch when a second signal representing a current in the power switch is above a first reference level. On the other hand, when the first signal is below the first output level, the control circuit is configured to turn off the power switch if the second signal reaches a lower reference level.
Abstract:
A process for preparing an optical colored polyester film using microwave technique comprises the following steps: microwave dyeing treatment by passing a polyester film through a disperse dye suspension with steady water phase in a dye-pool comprising a microwave generator; rinsing with water; rinsing with solvent; finally drying treatment, and then uniform optical colored films with various colors are obtained. The optical colored films are used as optical filters or optical protection films and as glass window films for automobile, and domestic and office windows.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a catalyst comprising palladium supported on a carrier via a layered precursor, comprising the following steps: (1) synthesis of hydrotalcite layered precursor which comprises promoting metal element and aluminium on the surface of the carrier of Al2O3 microspheres, the atoms of the promoting metal and aluminium being highly dispersed by each other and bonded firmly to the carrier due to the crystal lattice positioning effect of the hydrotalcite crystal; (2) introduction of palladium into the carrier through impregnation; (3) drying; and (4) calcination and reduction with H2, the hydrotalcite layered precursor being converted into a composite oxide which consists of oxides of the promoting metal and aluminium, and the promoting metal element and aluminium being highly dispersed by each other and being able to separate and disperse the mainly active palladium element loaded later. The process has the advantages of improving the catalytic performance of the catalyst, enhancing the stability of the catalyst, and achieving the object of reducing the consumption of the precious metal-palladium.
Abstract:
A method for calibrating an apparatus for ellipsometric measurements performed on an arbitrarily large or continuously moving sample, using a visible sample reference frame, and one or more laser sources in order to calibrate the ellipsometer for variations in the distance between the ellipsometer apparatus and the sample of interest. Included are techniques for projecting a first laser beam spot from an incident laser source onto a sample, then analyzing the position of the first laser beam spot relative to the center of the sample reference frame using human-aided measurements and confirmations and/or computer vision techniques. Then adjusting pivot points and/or apparatus-to-sample distance to achieve a first beam spot being located about the center of the sample reference frame, and concurrently intersecting the plane of the sample. Other techniques include changing the incidence and reflectance angle using a semi-circular track arc design with a stepping motor activating each goniometer arm.
