An alternate algorithm for discrete-time filtering

The discrete-time Kalman filter is an optimal estimator for the states of a linear, stochastic system. It assumes that measurements are linear combinations of the states, and all disturbances are Gaussian. The influence diagram, a decision analysis tool that provides an algorithm for discrete-time filtering equivalent to the Kalman filter when the influence diagram represents Gaussian random variables, is discussed. The influence diagram algorithm is a factored form of the Kalman filter, similar to other factored forms such as the U-D filter. Compared with the Kalman filter, it offers improved numerical properties. Compared with other factored forms, it offers a reduced computational load     

Ion Acoustic Waves in the Heliosphere

Observations of ion acoustic waves in the solar wind during the first and second orbit of the Ulysses spacecraft are presented. The observations show variations of the wave activity with the heliolatitude and with the phase of the solar cycle. The interrelationships between the wave intensity and the electron heat flux and the ratio of electron to proton temperature, T _e/T _p, are examined. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

基于QC-LDPC码联合分层译码混合转发协作系统

为了提高中继协作系统的整体性能,设计了基于QC-LDPC(Quasi-Cycle Low-Density Parity-Check)码联合分层译码的混合转发协作系统,给出了用于源节点和中继节点编码的QC-LDPC系统码的构造方法,并提出了适用于该协作系统的联合分层译码新算法.根据传统译码转发和编码协作的特点,采用了中继混合转发协作策略,无论中继是否译码成功,中继节点都发送一定形式的冗余信息给目的节点,从而提高协作系统的编码增益和分集增益.仿真结果表明:所提出的混合转发协作系统可以充分发挥中继的分集和编码优势;与非协作系统相比,可以显著提高中继协作系统译码性能.

时钟树综合中的有效时钟偏移

随着芯片设计向更高的频率发展,传统的时钟树综合策略是尽量减小时钟偏移,但是这样的时钟树综合策略已经逐渐不能满足时序收敛的需要,因此引入了有效时钟偏移的概念。文章通过一个在TSMC0．13μm工艺并流片成功的芯片BES7000作为设计实例,分析了有效时钟偏移引入之后对改进时序建立时间的效果。     

冷却速度对TG6钛合金均温区组织性能的影响

通过焊接热模拟试验研究冷却速度对TG6钛合金焊接热模拟均温区组织性能的影响。结果表明:在空冷状态下均温区达到最佳的性能,随着冷却速度的增大,均温区的抗拉强度稍有提高,拉伸延伸率及断面收缩率没有明显变化;冲击韧性空冷达到最大值,水冷稍有下降;显微硬度随冷却速度增大而增加。     

Venus Express: Scientific goals, instrumentation, and scenario of the mission

The first European mission to Venus (Venus Express) is described. It is based on a repeated use of the Mars Express design with minor modifications dictated in the main by more severe thermal environment at Venus. The main scientific task of the mission is global exploration of the Venusian atmosphere, circumplanetary plasma, and the planet surface from an orbiting spacecraft. The Venus Express payload includes seven instruments, five of which are inherited from the missions Mars Express and Rosetta. Two instruments were specially designed for Venus Express. The advantages of Venus Express in comparison with previous missions are in using advanced instrumentation and methods of remote sounding, as well as a spacecraft with a broad spectrum of capabilities of orbital observations.
