摘要:
A method for producing a metal-ceramic composite coating with increased hardness on a substrate includes adding a sol of a ceramic phase to the plating solution or electrolyte. The sol may be added prior to and/or during the plating or coating and at a rate of sol addition controlled to be sufficiently low that nanoparticles of the ceramic phase form directly onto or at the substrate and/or that the metal-ceramic coating forms on the substrate with a predominantly crystalline structure and/or to substantially avoid formation of nanoparticles of the ceramic phase, and/or agglomeration of particles of the ceramic phase, in the plating solution or electrolyte. The ceramic phase may be a single or mixed oxide, carbide, nitride, silicate, boride of Ti, W, Si, Zr, Al, Y, Cr, Fe, Pb, Co, or a rare earth element. The coating, other than the ceramic phase may comprise Ni, Ni—P, Ni—W—P, Ni—Cu—P, Ni—B, Cu, Ag, Au, Pd.

Disclosed is a read timing generation circuit, capable of reducing dynamic power consumption. After a multi-bit address Add1, Add2, . . . , and AddN passes through an address change monitoring unit (100), a response pulse signal corresponding the address is generated. After the response pulse signal passes through an address trigger determination unit (200), a single trigger determination signal ATDPRE is generated. The single trigger determination signal ATDPRE passes through an ATD timing generation unit (300) and a post-timing generation unit (1000), thereby forming a read timing generation circuit in a serial link and generating corresponding read timing. Compared with the conventional read timing generation circuit in which each bit of an address signal corresponds to a stage of structures to execute the trigger, ATD control timing output, and ATD determination process separately, the present invention greatly reduces the total dynamic power consumption of the circuit.

Disclosed is a multi-phase clock signal generation circuit including two circuit blocks, each of which includes a cross-coupled structure and two delay units, and the delay units are adjustable. One circuit block (MD1) includes two NMOS transistors, two PMOS transistors, and two delay units, and the other circuit block (MD2) may include two NMOS transistors, two PMOS transistors, and two delay units. The circuit can generate clock signals with respective phases whose relationship is relatively independent of integration process, operating voltage and temperature, thereby allowing guaranteed efficiency for a multi-phase charge pump.

Methods and systems suitable for processing multiple trajectory modification requests received from multiple aircraft within an airspace. The methods include receiving multiple trajectory modification requests that are transmitted from multiple aircraft and request alterations of the altitudes, speeds and/or lateral routes thereof, sequentially performing conflict assessments on the multiple trajectory modification requests to determine if any of the multiple trajectory modification requests pose conflicts with the altitudes, speeds and lateral routes of any other of the multiple aircraft, placing in a computer memory data queue n trajectory modification requests of the multiple trajectory modification requests that are identified by the conflict assessments as posing conflicts, and periodically processing the queue to perform subsequent conflict assessments on the n trajectory modification requests to determine if any of the n trajectory modification requests still pose conflicts with the altitudes, speeds and lateral routes of any other of the multiple aircraft.
摘要:
Methods and systems suitable for negotiating air traffic trajectory modification requests received from multiple aircraft that each has trajectory parameters. The methods include transmitting from at least a first aircraft a first trajectory modification request to alter the altitude, speed and/or lateral route thereof. A first conflict assessment is then performed to determine if the first trajectory modification request poses a conflict with the altitudes, speeds and lateral routes of other aircraft. If a conflict is not identified, the first trajectory modification request is granted and the first aircraft is notified of the first trajectory modification request being granted. Alternatively, if a conflict is identified, the first trajectory modification request is not granted and the first aircraft is notified thereof. If the first trajectory modification request was not granted, the first trajectory modification request is placed in a queue, which is periodically processed to perform subsequent conflict assessments.

Example embodiments relate to a method of forming a germanium (Ge) silicide layer, a semiconductor device including the Ge silicide layer, and a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device. A method of forming a Ge silicide layer according to example embodiments may include forming a metal layer including vanadium (V) on a silicon germanium (SiGe) layer. The metal layer may have a multiple-layer structure and may further include at least one of platinum (Pt) and nickel (Ni). The metal layer may be annealed to form the germanium silicide layer. The annealing may be performed using a laser spike annealing (LSA) method.
摘要:
Methods and system are provided for scheduling and negotiating air traffic within an airspace surrounding an airport and scheduled to land at the airport. An air traffic control (ATC) system is used to monitor the altitudes, speeds and lateral routes of aircraft. The ATC system generates a scheduled time-of-arrival (STA) at one or more meter fix points associated with the airport, the STA is stored, and data is received or inferred with the ATC system for at least a first of the aircraft, including a minimum fuel-cost speed and predicted trajectory parameters of the first aircraft based on current values of its existing trajectory parameters. Auxiliary data, including earliest and latest estimated time-of-arrival (ETAmin) and (ETAmax) at the meter fix point, STA being within/ outside ETAmin, ETAmax are generated, instructions are transmitted to the first aircraft, and the STA is updated for each aircraft stored in a queue.

Systems and methods for performing data anomaly detection and/or removal are usable to accurately assess baseline power consumption. According to one embodiment of the invention, a system can be provided. The system can be operable to receive energy consumption data of a location; select, based at least in part on a collection period of the energy consumption data, an algorithm for detecting anomalies in the energy consumption data; perform the algorithm on the energy consumption data to detect the anomalies in the energy consumption data; and determine an energy consumption baseline for the location based at least in part on a result of the algorithm.
