Automatic Mapping of Center Line of Railway Tracks using Global Navigation Satellite System, Inertial Measurement Unit and Laser Scanner
摘要: Up-to-date geodatasets on railway infrastructure are valuable resources for the field of transportation. This paper investigates three methods for mapping the center lines of railway tracks using heterogeneous sensor data: (i) conditional selection of satellite navigation (GNSS) data, (ii) a combination of inertial measurements (IMU data) and GNSS data in a Kalman filtering and smoothing framework and (iii) extraction of center lines from laser scanner data. Several combinations of the methods are compared with a focus on mapping in tree-covered areas. The center lines of the railway tracks are extracted by applying these methods to a test dataset collected by a road-rail vehicle. The guard rails in the test area were also extracted during the center line detection process. The combination of methods (i) and (ii) gave the best result for the track on which the measurement vehicle had moved, mapping almost 100% of the track. The combination of methods (ii) and (iii) and the combination of all three methods gave the best result for the other parallel tracks, mapping between 25% and 80%. The mean perpendicular distance of the mapped center lines from the reference data was 1.49 meters.

Impact of asymmetries on fuel performance in inertial confinement fusion
摘要: Low-mode asymmetries prevent effective compression, con?nement, and heating of the fuel in inertial con?nement fusion (ICF) implosions, and their control is essential to achieving ignition. Ion temperatures (Tion) in ICF experiments are inferred from the broadening of primary neutron spectra. Directional motion (?ow) of the fuel at burn also impacts broadening and will lead to arti?cially in?ated “Tion” values. Flow due to low-mode asymmetries is expected to give rise to line-of-sight variations in measured Tion. We report on intentionally asymmetrically driven experiments at the OMEGA laser facility designed to test the ability to accurately predict and measure line-of-sight differences in apparent Tion due to low-mode asymmetry-seeded ?ows. Contrasted to CHIMERA and xRAGE simulations, the measurements demonstrate how all asymmetry seeds have to be considered to fully capture the ?ow ?eld in an implosion. In particular, ?ow induced by the stalk that holds the target is found to interfere with the seeded asymmetry. A substantial stalk-seeded asymmetry in the areal density of the implosion is also observed.

摘要: This paper presents a wearable inertial measurement system and its associated spatiotemporal gait analysis algorithm to obtain quantitative measurements and explore clinical indicators from the spatiotemporal gait patterns for patients with stroke or Parkinson’s disease. The wearable system is composed of a microcontroller, a triaxial accelerometer, a triaxial gyroscope, and an RF wireless transmission module. The spatiotemporal gait analysis algorithm, consisting of procedures of inertial signal acquisition, signal preprocessing, gait phase detection, and ankle range of motion estimation, has been developed for extracting gait features from accelerations and angular velocities. In order to estimate accurate ankle range of motion, we have integrated accelerations and angular velocities into a complementary filter for reducing the accumulation of integration error of inertial signals. All 24 participants mounted the system on their foot to walk along a straight line of 10 m at normal speed and their walking recordings were collected to validate the effectiveness of the proposed system and algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed inertial measurement system with the designed spatiotemporal gait analysis algorithm is a promising tool for automatically analyzing spatiotemporal gait information, serving as clinical indicators for monitoring therapeutic efficacy for diagnosis of stroke or Parkinson’s disease.

Role of Thermal Equilibrium Dynamics in Atomic Motion during Nonthermal Laser-Induced Melting
摘要: This study shows that initial atomic velocities as given by thermodynamics play an important role in the dynamics of phase transitions. We tracked the atomic motion during nonthermal laser-induced melting of InSb at different initial temperatures. The ultrafast atomic motion following bond breaking can in general be governed by two mechanisms: the random velocity of each atom at the time of bond breaking (inertial model), and the forces acting on the atoms after bond breaking. The melting dynamics was found to follow the inertial model over a wide temperature range.

Absolute stimulated Raman side scatter in direct-drive laser-produced plasmas
摘要: Production of suprathermal electrons by stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is a principal concern for contemporary direct-drive inertial confinement fusion experiments at the National Ignition Facility and similar systems since such electrons penetrate and preheat the target core, preventing efficient implosion. The higher temperatures and longer scale lengths in these experiments favor SRS over two-plasmon decay, which predominated in earlier experiments. In particular, current experiments are expected to exceed the threshold for absolute Raman side scatter, which would then dominate the interaction since it grows temporally until saturated by nonlinear mechanisms such as hot-electron production. Until recently, analyses of SRS side scatter have treated the case of a single laser beam incident on a plasma, but the direct-drive approach to laser fusion employs a multitude of beams to drive the implosion. Here, we present an analysis that can be applied to an arbitrary number of beams with varied angles of incidence and polarizations. In the case of a single beam, it allows a physically motivated derivation and verification of an analytic threshold formula. In the general case of multiple beams and arbitrary orientation and polarizations, the threshold is found by numerical integration of a set of first-order linear partial differential equations.

A self-calibration method for error of photoelectric encoder based on gyro in rotational inertial navigation system
摘要: As a precision goniometer, photoelectric encoder plays an important role in rotational inertial navigation system (RINS). The encoder is used to measure the rotate angle of rotating mechanism for attitude calculation and feedback of motor control. However, the experiment shows that there are position-related errors in the encoder output, so calibration is necessary in high precision applications. This paper presents a calibration method designed by the characteristics of encoder errors and the structure of a tri-axis RINS. In RINS, the gyro sensitive axis can be coincided with the motor axis by gimbals rotation, and then the gyro and the photoelectric encoder measure the same angle, so the error can be calculated as the difference between the encoder output and the integral of gyro output. The error will be analyzed through Fourier method, then the error will be ?tted by least squares method and a harmonic model will be established. The veri?cation experiments demonstrate that the angle measurement error is reduced from ± 4000 to ± 200, and the attitude output error drops 7500. The calibration method is proved to be experimentally effective.

Effect of fast electrons on the gain of a direct-drive laser fusion target
摘要: The results of numerical and theoretical studies of the gain of a direct-drive inertial con?nement fusion target, which includes a kinetic description of energy transfer by laser-accelerated fast electrons, are presented. The range of the initial temperature of the fast electrons and the fraction of laser energy contained in these particles were chosen based on the results of recent experiments at the National Ignition Facility. The effect of ‘wandering’ of fast electrons is taken into account which is due to the remoteness of the region of fast electron generation from the ablation surface of the imploded target. As a result a signi?cant fraction of particles do not fall into the compressed part of target. The ‘wandering’ effect leads to a decrease in the negative effect of fast electron generation on the gain of the target.

The interaction of parametric instabilities from 3?? laser and 2?? laser in large-scale inhomogeneous plasmas
摘要: The interaction of parametric instabilities from 3ω laser and 2ω laser in large-scale inhomogeneous plasmas. The mechanism of energy transfer from 3ω pump light to stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) generated by 2ω pump light is proposed. The backscattering light of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) generated by 3ω pump light can work as a seed of the SBS of 2ω pump light, which results in the increase of the later. Adding 2ω pump light into 3ω pump light will decrease the reflectivity of SBS generated from 3ω pump light. The total reflectivity will firstly decrease and then increase with increase of the ratio of 2ω light intensity to the intensity of 2ω and 3ω lights f = I2ω0/(I2ω0 + I3ω0), and will be controlled in a lower level when this ratio f is about 10% ? 20%. These results give a method to control the total reflectivity of SBS and SRS in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) by adding 2ω light into 3ω light.

摘要: The focus of this paper was on ?nding wrist sensor-derived features for detecting highly acute fall risk from the sit-to-stand transitions performed in a non-ambulatory environment. Furthermore, the in?uence of the dominant and non-dominant hand on these features was investigated. A cohort of 174 older subjects was monitored for seven consecutive days in their home setting by using inertial sensors attached at the wrist. Based on the reported falls during a one-month follow-up phase, two groups were de?ned. Twenty-one time and frequency domain features were implemented for the quantitative assessment of extracted sit-to-stand transitions. The statistical analysis yielded two features that could convincingly distinguish fallers from non-fallers for the dominant hand, and six for the non-dominant hand. A novel feature, energy of the applied support during standing up, showed statistically good performance independently of on which hand the sensor node was worn, as well as for the dominant and non-dominant hand (p < 0.014, p < 0.027, and p < 0.020, respectively). This paper overcomes limitations of clinical tests and shows a reliable application of wrist-worn bands in terms of assessment of highly acute fall risk. In addition, it reveals the sit-to-stand transition as a potential assessment source for the wrist-worn devices in the elderly population. Early assessment of the risk of falling in a widely accepted and non-stigmatized manner has the ability to bring crucial changes in fall prevention strategies, reducing the number of falls and the fall rate.

Numerical study on the laser ablative Rayleigha??Taylor instability
摘要: The laser ablative Rayleigh–Taylor instability plays an important role in the ignition of inertial re?nement fusion. An accurate simulation of this process is important to control the growth of ?ow instability during the implosion. In this paper, taking the simulations of the hydrodynamics, the laser energy deposition and the electronic thermal conductivity into consideration, a massively parallel laser ablative Rayleigh–Taylor instability code based on Euler method is developed. Some open source codes are used to improve the code development ef?ciency. The accuracy of the hydrodynamics simulation is tested by an analytical theory about the weakly nonlinear Rayleigh–Taylor instability with double interfaces. The benchmark of an one dimensional heat conductivity is used to test the accuracy of the thermal conductivity simulation. The laser ablative plane target and the laser ablative Rayleigh–Taylor instability are used to test the reliability of the code on the simulation of the whole laser ablative process. It is shown that the con?dence of our numerical simulation code is high and the code framework we designed is effective. It can be a basis on studying the problems about the laser ablative instability in inertial re?nement fusion.
