Abstract: This paper presents a track-before-detect (TBD) algorithm for detection of unknown quantity of targets with parabolic tracks. First, eliminate large number of clutters orderly by expanded trellis and the method of mean power. And then get candidate parabolas by Randomized Hough Transform (RHT). The true tracks of the targets are extracted successfully by a strategy of outliers eliminating at last. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm is capable of detecting multiple targets without the assumptions of an upper bound to the number of targets.

Abstract: This paper exposes automatic classification for wooden board according to its knot defects. A four-parameter-classification vector, which includes the knot size and red component pixels of interior and exterior and boundary part of the knot, is formed to recognize the knot type. A possibilistic c-means (PCM) improved support vector data description (SVDD) method was proposed to construct a multi-classifier to classify four types of wood knots. The results obtained with our method show a real improvement of the recognition rate, which is 94%, compared to the original SVDD classifier, which recognition rate is just 86%, and experiments also testify PCM can help SVDD overcome the shortage of being sensitive to the noises and outliers.

Abstract: In this paper, the transient emissions from vehicle engines was studied, measurement methods and corrections required for higher precision measurements of transient indirect emissions was discussed. Various operating conditions such as cold start, constant torque increasing speed, constant torque reducing speed emissions were considered and the corresponding emission characteristics were obtained and analyzed.

Abstract: Many efforts have been taken to achieve automated Graphical User Interface (GUI) testing. The most popular way is model-based testing, which supports automated test case generation and execution. But building such a model is a non-trivial task, which usually costs the most work-load in the entire testing process. Most of the approaches about automated model deriving are dependant on the programming language or specific OS. In this paper, we proposed a new approach of GUI modeling using Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and technical poblems encountered have been analyzed in deatail. Case study shows that our approach is capable of analyzing most of the GUI windows, and generating corresponding model and hence eliminates the above constraint.

Abstract: Based on the VC++ development environment, a program about the procedure of cam design is developed. First, build up the input interface for input parameters, output values and curve display such as velocity and acceleration according to the input parameters. Then the system is validated by comparing the values using the single-step debug operation. The results show that the cam design system can be run and give help for cam design application.

Abstract: This paper is primarily focused on finite element analysis and topological optimization of impact plunger and drill rod. Finite element method is an extremely functional, due to which we apply ANSYS software to analyze the stress and strain that impact plunger and drill rod bear in actual working condition and optimize their structure.

Abstract: The finite element model of the combined vibrating screen was established by using ANSYS. Modal characteristic analysis and static analysis on the whole unit of screen box were done, and natural frequencies and modal shapes in the top 15 orders were obtained, distribution regularities of stress and deformation of each part of the screen box under the static load were revealed, providing the necessary basis for the improvement design and research on screen box.

Abstract: Node position technology is an internal demand of wireless sensor network, however, in most project account; it’s hard to obtain the nodes' exact position because of uncontrollability in the network deployment process. For this purpose, an improved self-correcting location algorithm which based on RSSI multilateral ranging was proposed in this paper. Other than the primary multilateral localization algorithm, a correcting node which adjacent to the blind node was imported into the pending location region. The main function is to reduce the influence caused by unilateral ranging error in the calculation of multilateral positioning and improves the positioning precision. Detailedly introduced the principle of self-correcting location algorithm, moreover, in order to check the improved algorithm’s location performance, a back testing was done via CC2430/CC2431 wireless nodes. Test results show that improved algorithm enhances the system’s accuracy and stability.

Abstract: Operational simulator is a simulated training system used in a flight control center to train and improve mission operators’ ability to control and track spacecrafts, constructing a realistic mission-like circumstance for the system drilling. But previous simulator had not a centralized monitor. It must be operated and monitored at different terminals. Usually several operators are required to operate at the same time with a demanded order. It is very inconvenient to use. So, the centralized monitor software is specially designed for Chang’E-1 operational simulator. It is used for operations, status setting, Data management and monitors of the simulator. This paper introduces functional requirements, network structure, and design scheme of modules of the software. The object-oriented programming of plug-ins is adopted in the program development. The practice proves that it is very convenient for a single user to operate the Chang’E-1 operational simulator by using the centralized monitor software, and it also saves manpower and cut expense. The software architecture can be applied in centralized monitor software of future simulators.
