Creeping Ray Tracing Algorithm for Arbitrary NURBS Surfaces Based on Adaptive Variable Step Euler Method by Song Fu, Yun-Hua Zhang, Si-Yuan He, Xi Chen, Guo-Qiang Zhu

“…Although the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) could be theoretically applied to arbitrarilyshaped convex objects modeled by nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBS), one of the great challenges in calculation of the UTD surface diffracted fields is the difficulty in determining the geodesic paths along which the creeping waves propagate on arbitrarilyshaped NURBS surfaces. …”

Key storage management scheme based on keyed hash tree with state by Xiangyu WANG, Jianfeng MA, Yinbin MIAO, Kai ZHANG, Qiying WU

“…To solve the problem of massive keys storage caused by multi-source data encryption in ciphertext retrieval system,a key storage scheme based on keyed hash tree with state was proposed.The scheme computes encryption key according to the root key and key derivation tree,and just needs to store the root key and the tree structure,which greatly reduces the key storage costs.In addition,the scheme manages key revocation according to the revocation state value,thereby solving the problem of key revocation and structure update.Strict security analysis shows that the partial data key disclosure does not leak the data confidentiality of remaining data,and the performance analysis using real-world dataset shows that the proposed key storage management scheme is acceptable in ciphertext retrieval system.…”

Online Popularity Prediction Scheme Based on Converging Property in Content Aware Soft Real Time Media Broadcast System by Huangqing Chen, Xiaofeng Zhong, Jian Sun, Jing Wang

“…A small number of online popular contents are often clicked by a great quantity of users in a short period,and take the most of the wireless cellular network traffic.With popularity prediction,the popular contents would be broadcasted to the potential users for saving a lot of transmitting resource,as illustrated in content aware soft real time media broadcast（CASoRT）system.With the data set collected from the Chinese commercial cellular network,the converging property of web contents,users and geographic positions in online news was shown.Then,two prediction schemes such as linear log and constant scaling model were proposed to estimate the popularity of online news,and improved by an optimal observation threshold.After comparison of simulation results,the linear log model performs better.…”

Study on the Power Performance of Hybrid Electric Vehicle with Rear twin-shaft Type AMT by Song Jun, Chu Chaomei, Tang Haichuan, Chen Jiejing

“…AMT is used in hybrid electric vehicle,and the motor and gearbox output shaft coupling rear twin-shaft type structure is adopted,so during the shifting time,the motor will provide power to drive the car,which play the advantages of high transmission efficiency,great capacity of torque and continuous output can play as stepless transmission power strength,and the power performance is improved.By solving the motor power torque during the process of shift,the vehicle simulation model is established in the Avl- Cruise and electric auxiliary strategy of vehicle is built in the MATLAB / Simulink for united simulation studying.The simulation results show that,in the process of shifting,the vehicle acceleration is not obvious drop,at the same time,the speed maintain upward trend,the power performance of vehicle can be improved.…”

Uncertain trajectory privacy-preserving method of moving object by Shuang WANG, Fu-cai ZHOU, Li-na WU

“…With the development of location based service(LBS) and location-aware devices，the amount of trajectories of moving objects collected by service providers was continuously increasing,meanwhile,it can cause great threaten for personal privacy.Most researches of trajectory privacy preserving were on deterministic data,however,trajectory’s uncertainty was inherent due to the inaccuracy of data acquisition equipment,delayed update,and so on.A new method was prosed to protect the privacy of trajectory data in publishing.It is the first time to present the idea that transforming the trajectory to an uncertain area to cluster.First,a probability statistics method to model the trajectory to an uncertain area was proposed.Second,the similar uncertain area into a cluster was put and sanitized in an equivalence class.Finally,the performance of the proposal was compared with (K δ)-anonymity model in real datasets.…”
