    In this work, different ring VCO topologies and architectures are designed to improve the performance of the conventional VCO structure. A single-ended ring VCO is designed and implemented at different control voltages. The output frequency range observed is between 3.27 and 12.57 GHz with the control voltage ranging from 1 V to 0.5 V. The minimum delay measured is 17.8 picoseconds. The other architecture involves the reverse substrate-bias (SB) technique and differential structure for further improvement of the performance parameters of the VCO. All the topologies are designed in Cadence Virtuoso with gpdk 90 nm technology. The differential structure and reverse SB structure result in frequency ranges of 17.405 GHz to 10.982 GHz and 11.87 GHz to 13.77 GHz, respectively. The results demonstrate a minimum delay, and the power consumptions are 8.1 picoseconds and 62.42 µW for the differential configuration and 8.27 picoseconds and 32.96 µW for the reverse-substrate bias technique, respectively. Overall, the voltage-controlled ring oscillator with reverse substrate bias is most suitable for delay reduction.

    The failure of a system depends on many parameters, such as complexity, time, design, reliability of components, and operating conditions. If failure depends on the stress of a component, such reliability models are called stress dependent models. There are many types of stresses that occur in the body, like tensile, compressive, shear, and bending. Shear stress develops in a body when a pair of opposite forces act across the section tangentially. A reliability analysis over the I-section of a beam due to a uniformly distributed load has been conducted by finding the shear stress in the web and flange of the I-section. It is obtained that the maximum stress occurred at the neutral axis of the section and zero stress at the top of the section. In this article, the failure rate is considered to follow a Weibull distribution. The reliability is derived for constant, linear, and non-linear failure rates and is computed for various parameters. It is observed from the computations that reliability decreases as the load and overall depth of the section increase. It also increases as the thickness and depth of the web increase.

    The development of complex systems such as industrial process plants is accompanied by a continuous improvement of industrial safety. This remains an important element such as production, in a world where accidents continue to cause a high number of fatalities and severe economic and material losses. In addition, these losses cannot avoid significant damages to the environment that have a negative effect on the present and future of society. A better way to deal with these complex systems is to use risk management, which is a necessary priority for our society and our companies today. It is essential to develop or integrate quantitative approaches in risk assessments to evaluate the safety of complex processes. The present work proposes a comprehensive risk assessment approach based on a bow tie diagram mapped to a Bayesian network, with the combination of a risk matrix. In this way, we firstly define the worst-case scenario by hazard analysis and then use a bow tie diagram to understand the flow of cause/effect relation between system components. This allows us to model the accidental scenario and then construct a Bayesian network. Secondly, a transformation operator is used to calculate the occurrence frequency of unwanted failures, which leads to the activation of various layers of protection within the system. Finally, a risk matrix is used to evaluate the residual risk with the help of a probability-severity ranking criterion. This proposed methodology has been applied to a gas treatment plant system based on risk management.

    This paper proposes a method for extracting the specific wavelengths of milk fat particles in a liquid absorbing medium by measuring particle size with the method of total light scattering. After considering the absorption of incident light by the liquid medium, this paper conducts simulation analysis of apparent optical parameters. At the same time, this paper simulates the extinction spectrum of common R-R distributed visible light using the apparent extinction coefficient and proposes a method for extracting specific wavelengths based on the immune particle swarm optimization algorithm (IA-PSO). According to this method, the wavelength point with the smallest root mean square error between the simulated extinction value and the extinction value is selected as the measuring wavelength, which can effectively eliminate the subjective effect in the process of optimal wavelength selection. To verify the validity of the method proposed by this paper, inversion calculation of the unimodal R-R distributed spectra and the bimodal R-R distributed spectra is performed respectively in the independent mode using the PT algorithm with simulated data. In the non-independent mode, the inversion of particle size distribution is performed based on the genetic optimization algorithm. The simulation experiment results indicate that the proposed method for extracting the specific wavelengths of milk fat particles in the liquid absorbing medium can effectively improve the accuracy and stability of the inversion results and reduce measuring errors.

    In this paper, an improved RGB-D SLAM scheme is proposed to solve the problems of great tracking error, long time-consuming in front-end, and high pressure of algorithm in back-end. The realization scheme is mainly aimed at improving the visual odometry. First, the ORB extraction algorithm is used to extract the feature points of the current frame and calculate the descriptors. Then, the current frame is matched with the local map by descriptors, and the matched feature points are added to the local map. Finally, the camera pose is calculated by the PnP algorithm. In order to ensure the tracking accuracy, a triangulation algorithm is proposed to optimize the depth value of map points in the local map. A series of fr1 datasets in the tum database are tested. The experimental results show that the real-time performance is guaranteed, and the RMSE (root mean square error) in the tracking process is reduced by 9% on average. Moreover, the image indexes of the point cloud image generated in the tracking process are also significantly improved.

    In view of the problem that the accuracy of the LANDMARC indoor positioning algorithm based on radio frequency identification (RFID) is subject to the influence of adjacent reference tags, this paper proposes an improved LANDMARC positioning algorithm. According to the distance between the nearest reference tag and the reader, as well as the received signal strength indicator (RSSI), the improved algorithm uses Newton interpolation to obtain the distance between the tag to be measured and the reader and calculates the coordinates of the tag to be measured using the theorem on trilateral generating functions. The results of MATLAB simulation show that the improved LANDMARC positioning algorithm lowers the positioning error of the system, has higher positioning accuracy, and minimizes the complexity of the algorithm.

    The biggest drawback of the K-means algorithm is that the number of clusters must be specified before use, and the central point is randomly initialized. To make up for this shortcoming, this paper proposes an improved algorithm of K-means called the linear fitting density peak K-means algorithm (LDKM), which realizes the automatic initialization of K-means and improves the accuracy of the algorithm. The LDKM algorithm is applied to the field of image segmentation and compared with the K-means algorithm, and the experimental results have clear outline and less noise. The LDKM algorithm is applied to the classification and recognition of white blood cells, and the experimental results show that the LDKM algorithm can extract white blood cells completely and obtain pure results.

    The hybrid electric vehicle, a combination of the conventional fuel vehicle and the pure electric vehicle, is the main development direction in the future due to its unique dynamic structure. The design of a well-performing control strategy is of positive practical significance to the improvement of both the dynamic performance and safety of the vehicle. Based on an analysis of the dynamic system structure and working mode of the hybrid electric vehicle, this paper designs a multi-mode control strategy including start/reverse mode, drive mode, and braking/sliding mode according to the control requirements of hybrid electric vehicles, while optimizing the threshold strategy of mode switching and avoiding frequent switching between modes. According to the dynamic system state and the driver’s driving habits, this paper formulates the switching rules for working states of dynamic systems based on torque and vehicle speed and optimizes the power distribution strategy of the engine, motor, and generator. In addition, this paper establishes a control strategy model in Simulink for simulation, and the simulation results indicate that the control strategy can implement effective control of the vehicle’s dynamic system.

    In this paper, the threshold function denoising algorithm and mathematical morphology are combined and applied to image edge detection. Firstly, we construct a dyadic wavelet with non-orthogonality, symmetry, limited spectrum, and smoothness almost everywhere. Then, the properties of the dyadic wavelet are discussed, and the analytic expression of the reproducing kernel function in the image space of dyadic wavelet transform is given. Moreover, the dyadic wavelet is used to construct a new threshold function for image denoising, and the new threshold function has a clear effect on image denoising. Finally, we present an improved morphological edge detection algorithm, which is applied to extract the edges of images after threshold denoising. Thus, we can obtain a new edge detection algorithm that combines the threshold function denoising algorithm and morphological edge extraction algorithm. The simulation results show that the edges detected by the new algorithm are clearer and contain less noise, and the continuity and accuracy are also improved.
