A synchronous binary array divider
An asynchronous binary divider formed of an array of identical logic cells is described. Each cell includes a single bit binary subtractor and a selection gate. The array is connected to divisor, dividend, quotient and remainder registers. Divisor and dividend numbers are read into the divisor and dividend registers, respectively. The array of identical logic cells performs the division in parallel asynchronously and places the results of the division in the quotient and remainder registers for subsequent readout
Array multiplier
Digital array multiplier consisting of any number of identical digital adder cells in a repetitive planar configuration functions as a modular multiplier for use in computer applications of airborne vehicles. The modular multiplier utilizes large scale integration and metal oxide semiconductors
Compact and High Performance Dual-band Bandpass Filter Using Resonator-embedded Scheme for WLANs
A compact microstrip dual-band bandpass filter (DBBPF) with high selectivity and good suppression for wireless local area networks (WLANs) is proposed utilizing a novel embedded scheme resonator. Two passbands are produced by a pair of embedded half-wavelength meandered stepped-impedance resonator (MSIR) and a quadwavelength short stub loaded stepped-impedance resonator (SIR) separately. The resonator is fed by folded Tshaped capacitive source-load coupling microstrip feed line, and four transmission zeros are obtained at both sides of the bands to improve selectivity and suppression. Simultaneously, the size of the filter is extermely compact because embedding half-wavelength MSIR only changes the interior configuration of quad-wavelength SIR. To validate the design method, the designed filter is fabricated and measured. Both simulated and measured results indicate that good transmission property has been achieved

Microstructural characterisation and thermal stability of an Mg-Al-Sr alloy prepared by rheo-diecasting
A commercial Mg-6Al-2Sr (AJ62) alloy has been prepared by a semisolid rheo-diecasting (RDC) process. The microstructure of the RDC alloy exhibits typical semisolid solidification features, i.e., 8.4 vol% primary α-Mg globules (23 μm in diameter), formed in the slurry maker at the primary solidification stage, uniformly distributed in the matrix of fine α-Mg grain size (8.2 μm) and intergranular eutectic Al4Sr lamellae, which resulted from secondary solidification inside the die. A ternary Mg-Al-Sr phase was also observed. Heat treatment revealed the extreme thermal stability of the RDC AJ62 alloy. The hardness showed little change up to 12 hours at 450°C, whilst the Al4Sr eutectic lamellae were broken up, spheroidised and coarsened during the annealing. The RDC alloy offers superior mechanical properties, especially ductility, over the same alloy produced by high pressure die-casting
Calibration of LAMOST Stellar Surface Gravities Using the Kepler Asteroseismic Data
Asteroseismology is a powerful tool to precisely determine the evolutionary
status and fundamental properties of stars. With the unprecedented precision
and nearly continuous photometric data acquired by the NASA Kepler mission,
parameters of more than 10 stars have been determined nearly consistently.
However, most studies still use photometric effective temperatures (Teff) and
metallicities ([Fe/H]) as inputs, which are not sufficiently accurate as
suggested by previous studies. We adopted the spectroscopic Teff and [Fe/H]
values based on the LAMOST low-resolution spectra (R~1,800), and combined them
with the global oscillation parameters to derive the physical parameters of a
large sample of stars. Clear trends were found between {\Delta}logg(LAMOST -
seismic) and spectroscopic Teff as well as logg, which may result in an
overestimation of up to 0.5 dex for the logg of giants in the LAMOST catalog.
We established empirical calibration relations for the logg values of dwarfs
and giants. These results can be used for determining the precise distances to
these stars based on their spectroscopic parameters.Comment: 22 pages, 13 figures and 3 tables, accepted for publication in
