Aimed at the problem of the embedded multi-channel video acquisition and display system, a new one based on FPGA is put forward. The configuration of the system is given. The principle and key issue is analyzed. Using of the state shift mechanism, t the controlling time sequence signals of TFT-LCD are produced; The synchronization among multi-channel video acquisition is realized by using time-division multiplexing technology; The problem of conflict between reading and writing frame cache is solved through the two SRAM switch; The frames composition technology is applied to accomplish the change from interlaced scanning to progressive scanning. The result of project application shows the virtues of system, such as good effect of acquisition and display, low cost and low power consumption.

Background:Among other aspects, aerobic fitness is indispensable for performance in slalom canoe.Purpose:To propose the maximal-lactate steady-state (MLSS) and critical-force (CF) tests using a tethered canoe system as new strategies for aerobic evaluation in elite slalom kayakers. In addition, the relationship between the aerobic parameters from these tests and the kayakers’ performances was studied.Methods:Twelve male elite slalom kayakers from the Brazilian national team participated in this study. All tests were conducted using a tethered canoe system to obtain the force records. The CF test was applied on 4 d and analyzed by hyperbolic (CFhyper) and linear (CFlin) mathematical models. The MLSS intensity (MLSSint) was obtained by three 30-min continuous tests. The time of a simulated race was considered the performance index.Results:No difference (P < .05) between CFhyper (65.9 ± 1.6 N) and MLSSint (60.3 ± 2.5 N) was observed; however, CFlin (71.1 ± 1.7 N) was higher than MLSSint. An inverse and significant correlation was obtained between MLSSint and performance (r = –.67, P < .05).Conclusion:In summary, MLSS and CF tests on a tethered canoe system may be used for aerobic assessment of elite slalom kayakers. In addition, CFhyper may be used as an alternative low-cost and noninvasive method to estimate MLSSint, which is related with slalom kayakers’ performance.

Abstract This paper reviews recent implementation advances and modifications in the continued development of a Concurrent Subspace Optimization (CSSO) algorithm for Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO). The CSSO-MDO algorithm implemented in this research incorporates a Coordination Procedure of System Approximation (CP-SA) for design updates. Implementation studies detail the use of a new discipline based decomposition strategy which provides for design variable sharing across discipline design regimes (i.e., subspaces). The algorithm is implemented in a distributed computing environment, providing for concurrent discipline design. Implementation studies introduce a new multidisciplinary design test problem, the optimal design of a high performance, low cost structural system. A graphical user interface is developed which provides for menu driven execution and results display; this new programming environment highlights the modularity of the algorithm. Significant time savings are observed when using distributed computing for concurrent design across disciplines. The use of design variable sharing across disciplines does not introduce any difficulties in implementation as the design update in the CSSO-MDO algorithm is generated in the coordination procedure of system approximation (CP-SA).

Indoor radio frequency tracking systems are generally quite expensive and can vary in accuracy due to interference, equipment quality or other environmental factors. Due to these limiting factors of the technology, many businesses today find it hard to justify investing in RFID tracking technologies to improve the safety, efficiency and security of their working environments. The aim of this project was to provide a budget RFID tracking system that was capable of tracking a person or object through an indoor environment. To minimize the cost of the RFID tracking system, the components of the system were built from existing electronic equipment and hardware. The software was also written to minimize licensing and support fees allowing a cost effective budget RFID tracking system to be developed. The tracking system consists of a tag, reader nodes and a PC reader which utilize synapse RF 100 engines with python scripts embedded on to the chips. The tracking system software operates through a web portal utilizing web technologies such as HTML, JavaScript and PHP to allow the tags location to be represented on a two dimensional map using scalable vector graphics. During development of the system a new trilateration algorithm was developed and used convert the signals received from the tag to a virtual position on the map correlating to the actual physical position of the tag. A unique contribution of this system is the low cost of building which we estimate as less than £200 UK sterling for a five node system.

The ejectors used for the fuel cell recirculation are more reliable and low cost in maintenance than high-temperature blowers. In this paper, an anode and cathode recirculation scheme, equipped with ejectors, was designed in a solid oxide fuel cell-gas turbine (SOFC-GT) hybrid system. The ejector model, SOFC model, and other component models and the validation were conducted to investigate the performance of the hybrid system with anode and cathode ejectors. The geometric parameters of the ejectors were designed to perform the anode and cathode recirculation loops according to the design conditions of the hybrid system with a blower-based recirculation loop. The cathode ejector geometries are much larger than the anode ejector. In addition, the sensitivity analysis of the primary fluid for the standalone anode and cathode ejectors is investigated. The results show that the ejector can recirculate more secondary fluid by reducing the ejector outlet pressure. Then, the anode and cathode ejectors were integrated into the SOFC-GT hybrid system. A blower gets involved downstream, and the compressor is necessary to avoid high expensive cost of redesigning compressor. The off-design and dynamic performance were characterized after integrating the anode and cathode ejectors into the hybrid system. The dynamic and off-design performances show that the designed ejectors are effectively integrated into the anode and cathode recirculation loops to replace the blower-based recirculation loops. The safety range of relative fuel flow rate is 0.62–1.22 in the fixed rotational speed strategy, and it is 0.53–1.1 in the variable rotational speed strategy. The variable rotational speed strategy can ensure higher system efficiency, which is more than 61% at a part-load condition.
