Firstly, a mathematical model of spiral bevel and hypoid gears with circular blade profile was established according to the cutting characteristics of the duplex helical method. Based on a hypoid gear drive, the tooth bearings and the functions of transmission errors of four design cases were analyzed respectively by the use of the tooth contact analysis(TCA), and the contact stresses of the four design cases were analyzed and compared using simulation software. Finally, the curvature radius of the circular profile blade was optimized. The results show that the contact stresses are availably reduced, and the areas of edge contact and severe contact stresses can be avoided by selecting appropriate circular blade profile. In addition, the convex and concave sides are separately modified by the use of different curvature radii of inside and outside blades, which can increase the flexibility of the duplex helical method.展开更多

Single coating is insufficient to produce the desired combination of surface properties. These problems can be solved through the duplex coatings. The aim of the present study is to overview the research advances on processes of duplex coatings on (aluminum) alloys combined with micro plasma oxidation process and with other modern processes such as physical vapour deposition and plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition and also to evaluate the performance of micro plasma oxidation coatings in improving the load-bearing, friction and wear resistance properties of aluminum alloys in comparison with other coatings. Wherein, a more detailed presentation of the processes and their performances and disadvantages are given as well.展开更多

Methods Sixty-eight cases with initial and repeat venous CDUS of the proximal lower extremities were retrospectively reviewed. The repeat was done within 24 hours after initial CDUS scanning. Comparing repeated images to initial ones, the pitfalls and sources of error in CDUS of the proximal lower extremities were discussed. Results In total 68 repeat studies, there were 62 results as same as initials and 4 cases of false negative DVT and 2 cases of false positive DVT. Conclusion Venous CDUS in detecting DVT is observer dependent. Some pitfalls and errors can be eliminated and corrected with proper scan techniques. CDUS is the most valuable imaging modality for assessing suspected DVT in the proximal lower extremities.展开更多

The experimental results reveal that the microstructure of the adjacent base metal varies clearly as a function of holding time. The migration of Cr and Ni elements and the → transformation seem to play relevant roles in this microstructure evolution. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron prob X-ray microanalysis (EPMA) results indicate the transformation of BN→BN and (N, Mo) boride→BN at the interface with the holding time of 60-1 800 s. N content changes with holding time increasing at locations at the interface might be a controlling factor contributing to this transformation.展开更多

Given the transmit powers of both the uplink and the downlink, the closed-form solutions of the optimal number of antennas and the maximum EE are achieved in the high regime of the signal-to-noise ratio（SNR）. It is shown that the optimal number of antennas and the maximum EE gets larger with the increase in user numbers. To further improve the EE, an optimization algorithm with low complexity is proposed to jointly determine the number of antennas and the transmit powers of both the uplink and the downlink. It is shown that, the proposed algorithm can achieve the system performance very close to the exhaustive search.展开更多

This pa- per tries to achieve the full-duplex system without using active cancellation, thus a full-duplex system using a joint mechanism based on a novel passive cancellation method and a novel digital cancellation method is proposed. Therein, a good antenna place- ment guided by the theory of the antenna electromagnetic field for the passive cancellation is presented. For the proposed digital can- cellation method, unlike previous separate mechanisms, it is de- signed by using the recursive least square （RLS） algorithm jointly with passive cancellation. The self-interference channel state in- formation （CSI） is transferred as the input of digital cancellation to balance the performance and the complexity. Experimental results show that the proposed self-interference cancellation mechanism can achieve about 85 dB which is better than the previous re- search. Meanwhile, this design provides a better performance compared with half-duplex with both line-of-sight channel and non- line-of-sight channel.展开更多

文摘Recent research shows that it is possible to achieve the full-duplex system by cancelling strong self-interference signals, which can be divided into three classes respectively, i.e., passive cancellation, active cancellation and digital cancellation. This pa- per tries to achieve the full-duplex system without using active cancellation, thus a full-duplex system using a joint mechanism based on a novel passive cancellation method and a novel digital cancellation method is proposed. Therein, a good antenna place- ment guided by the theory of the antenna electromagnetic field for the passive cancellation is presented. For the proposed digital can- cellation method, unlike previous separate mechanisms, it is de- signed by using the recursive least square （RLS） algorithm jointly with passive cancellation. The self-interference channel state in- formation （CSI） is transferred as the input of digital cancellation to balance the performance and the complexity. Experimental results show that the proposed self-interference cancellation mechanism can achieve about 85 dB which is better than the previous re- search. Meanwhile, this design provides a better performance compared with half-duplex with both line-of-sight channel and non- line-of-sight channel.
