One such scheme, proposed by Jones and Sayeed (1995), uses time-frequency distributions to implement sub-optimal quadratic detectors which, under certain conditions, approach the performance of optimal quadratic detectors. However, their use of Fisher's discriminants to obtain class separation has some drawbacks, which we solve by using a simple perceptron to obtain the discriminant. Also, more often than not, we will have a multiclass situation, implying the use of different time-frequency distributions, each one of them tuned for a given class of transients. The different nature of these distributions (bias, type of cross-terms, time-frequency resolution, etc.) will hamper the performance of the algorithm, forcing the need for experimental validation of its heuristical aspects. The algorithm will be applied to real data, and its performance investigated.","PeriodicalId":68534,"journal":{"name":"中国会展","volume":"65 1","pages":"1059-1063 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82093599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data recording systems provided a hard copy trace on pressure sensitive paper, which required time consuming and expensive digitization before archiving. Over 5 million XBT profiles were analyzed using this technique.

Practical experiments with landbound vehicles show the reliability and limitations of the method in various environments in setups for following simple attractors.

The bulk properties of the material were used in the design and analysis due to the lack of effective property data of the Ultem injection module which are actually dependent on the molding process. A series of test specimens were prepared and tested to determine the tensile strength, bending strength, shear strength and Young's modulus achieved in the final modules. Implementation of the control surface actuators that penetrate the plastic pressure vessel requires an assessment of the desired failure mode of the system and an accurate structural model of the system components. A nonlinear finite element analysis of the actuator system including the plastic modules is developed as a quarter section in order to take advantage of the symmetry of the problem. Finally, failure modes are found using von Mises analysis.","PeriodicalId":68534,"journal":{"name":"中国会展","volume":"25 1","pages":"2161-2168 vol.3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86523827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The network consists of sensor nodes, repeater nodes, gateway nodes, and a server. Gateway nodes are buoys equipped with acoustic modems interfaced to Internet-accessible cellular modems for two-way communication between server and subsurface network. Network data flow is remotely re-configurable with multiple paths to the server from each sensor so loss or failure of an individual node can be accommodated. Oceanographic instruments are housed in bottom-mounted frames to limit biofouling and minimize fishing and shipping interference. A trawl-resistant frame enables azimuthally omnidirectional acoustic signaling as required for the network. Gateways serve multiple sensors distributed across wide areas, minimizing the number of instruments with surface exposure. A low-bandwidth data format for acoustic Doppler current profilers is devised to reduce network throughput and power consumption. Gateway equipment is engineered for a Coast Guard buoy. Tests in winter and spring indicate wind limits acoustic communications range by roughening the sea surface. A preliminary network deployment demonstrates gateway control, data delivery across multiple repeaters, and route reconfiguration.","PeriodicalId":68534,"journal":{"name":"中国会展","volume":"16 1","pages":"575-582 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81054854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accuracy is often specified to be better than the larger of 5 cm and 5% relative. And with more and more accurate echo sounders and attitude sensors, there will be a demand for even more accurate and robust heave sensors in the future. This paper discusses several methods, both on-line methods for real-time heave computation and off-line methods for post processing. It will also treat two different technologies. Heave can be computed from GPS RTK height measurements and from vertical accelerations measured by linear accelerometers. Integrated solutions that combine these two technologies are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":68534,"journal":{"name":"中国会展","volume":"1 1","pages":"309-314 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89368497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
