Generating Hermite polynomial excited squeezed states by means of conditional measurements on a beam splitter
A scheme for conditional generating a Hermite polynomial excited squeezed
vacuum states (HESVS) is proposed. Injecting a two-mode squeezed vacuum state
(TMSVS) into a beam splitter (BS) and counting the photons in one of the output
channels, the conditional state in the other output channel is just a HESVS. To
exhibit a number of nonclassical effects and non-Guassianity, we mainly
investigate the photon number distribution, sub-Poissonian distribution,
quadrature component distribution, and quasi-probability distribution of the
HPESVS. We find that its nonclassicality closely relates to the control
parameter of the BS, the squeezed parameter of the TMSVS, and the photon number
of conditional measurement. These further demonstrate that performing the
conditional measurement on a BS is an effective approach to generate
non-Guassian state.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Viscosity modeling for ionic liquid solutions by Eyring-Wilson equation
A semi-theoretical model based on the classical Eyring’s mixture viscosity equation and the Wilson activity coefficient equation is presented for correlating the viscosity of ionic liquids with solvent systems. The accuracy of the proposed model was verified by comparing calculated and experimental viscosity values from literatures for 49mixtures with total 1560 data points. The results show that the equation similar to the Wilson activity coefficient equation can be well applied to describe the non-ideal term in the Eyring’s mixture viscosity equation. The model has a relatively simple mathematical form and can be easily incorporated into process simulation software

Dual-band circularly-polarized shared-aperture array for C/X-Band satellite communications
A novel method of achieving a single-feed circularly-polarized (CP) microstrip antenna with both broad impedance bandwidth and axial ratio (AR) bandwidth is presented. The CP characteristics are generated by employing a resonator to excite the two orthogonal modes of the patch via two coupling paths and the required 90 o phase difference is achieved by using the different orders of the two paths. The presented method, instead of conventional methods that power dividers and phase delay lines are usually required, not only significantly enhances the bandwidths of the antenna, but also results in a compact feed, reduced loss and high gain. Based on this method, a dual-band shared-aperture CP array antenna is implemented for C/X-band satellite communications. The antenna aperture includes a 2 × 2 array at C-band and a 4 ×4 array at X-band. To accommodate the C/X-band elements into the same aperture while achieving a good isolation between them, the C-band circular patches are etched at the four corners. The measured results agree well with the simulations, showing a wide impedance bandwidth of 21% and 21.2% at C-and X-band, respectively. The C-and X-band 3-dB AR bandwidths are 13.2% and 12.8%. The array also exhibits a high aperture efficiency of over 55%, low side-lobe (C-band: −12.5 dB; X-band: −15 dB) and high gain (C-band: 14.5 dBic; X-band: 17.5 dBic)
Moby: Empowering 2D Models for Efficient Point Cloud Analytics on the Edge
3D object detection plays a pivotal role in many applications, most notably
autonomous driving and robotics. These applications are commonly deployed on
edge devices to promptly interact with the environment, and often require near
real-time response. With limited computation power, it is challenging to
execute 3D detection on the edge using highly complex neural networks. Common
approaches such as offloading to the cloud induce significant latency overheads
due to the large amount of point cloud data during transmission. To resolve the
tension between wimpy edge devices and compute-intensive inference workloads,
we explore the possibility of empowering fast 2D detection to extrapolate 3D
bounding boxes. To this end, we present Moby, a novel system that demonstrates
the feasibility and potential of our approach. We design a transformation
pipeline for Moby that generates 3D bounding boxes efficiently and accurately
based on 2D detection results without running 3D detectors. Further, we devise
a frame offloading scheduler that decides when to launch the 3D detector
judiciously in the cloud to avoid the errors from accumulating. Extensive
evaluations on NVIDIA Jetson TX2 with real-world autonomous driving datasets
demonstrate that Moby offers up to 91.9% latency improvement with modest
accuracy loss over state of the art.Comment: Accepted to ACM International Conference on Multimedia (MM) 202
