A New Method for Isomorphism Identification of Planetary Gear Train based on Improved Hamming Number by Sun Wei, Li Anming, Kong Jianyi, Zuo Huiyan, Wei Sijia

“…The isomorphism identification is one of the indispensable processes in structure synthesis of planetary gear train.It is of great significance for the creation of novel planetary gear train with excellent transmission characteristics.A new method for identifying isomorphism of planetary gear train based on improved Hamming number is proposed.Firstly，a new method for describing the topological diagram of planetary gear train by improved link adjacency matrix is proposed.This matrix contains all the information of the topological structure of planetary gear train and has the uniqueness of description.Then，the basic feature of planetary gear train is represented by the feature code，which is the necessary condition for isomorphism.Then，the principle of improved Hamming number is defined，and the Hamming code is obtained.By distinguishing whether the structural constants of the feature code and the Hamming code are equal，the isomorphism of the planetary gear train is identified.Finally，the validity and reliability of the method are verified by examples.…”

Performance evaluation on key techniques for 5G enhanced mobile broadband by Longchang ZHU, Xiaodong JI, Xinran ZHANG, Quxin LI

“…The 5G eMBB scenario puts high requirements on performance such as spectrum efficiency and system capacity.It was proposed to introduce technologies such as massive MIMO and millimeter-wave communication,and combine heterogeneous networks to improve system performance,because traditional technologies cannot bring about corresponding performance improvement.At the same time,there are few simulation evaluation results for the key technologies of the eMBB scenario,and the performance advantages of each technology cannot be explained from the perspective of simulation.The performance of massive MIMO with different antenna numbers by building a system-level simulation platform were evaluated,and the impact of the density and bias of micro BS in the mmWave frequency to the performance based on the results in the heterogeneous networks was summarized.It has great refer-ence value for parameter configuration and network construction of 5G network.…”

Blockchain and credibility function based chain storage method of electronic encrypted information by Ting ZHOU

“…To optimize the proportion of encrypted information storage space in the blockchain and improve the speed of online storage, a design method for electronic encrypted information online storage based on blockchain and credibility function was proposed.An information encryption classification model based on blockchain and credibility function was established, and a traceability voucher judgment function was obtained.Proxy re-encryption was performed on electronic information.The storage capacity of the cluster was calculated, and encrypted ciphertext was used to directly match the access structure tree.Subject credibility and object credibility were distinguished, electronic encrypted information was classified based on the credibility function, and an electronic encrypted information uplink storage method was designed.The experimental results show that after applying the proposed method, when the number of files is between 1 000 and 10 000, the data storage speed is the fastest, and the storage space proportion and storage speed are greatly optimized.…”

AdaBoost algorithm based on target perturbation by Shufen ZHANG, Yanling DONG, Jingcheng XU, Haoshi WANG

“…Aiming at the problem that the multi-round iteration process in the AdaBoost algorithm will amplify the noise added to achieve differential privacy protection, which leads to slow model convergence and greatly reduced data availability, an AdaBoost algorithm based on target perturbation—DPAda was proposed.Target perturbation was used to add noise to sample weights, accurately calculated their sensitivity, and a dynamic privacy budget was given.In order to solve the problem of excessive noise superposition, three noise injection algorithms based on swing sequence, random response and improved random response were proposed.The experimental results show that compared with DPAda_Random and DPAda_Swing, DPAda_Improved achieves the privacy protection of data, has higher classification accuracy, as well as better than other differential privacy AdaBoost algorithm, and can also solve the problem of excessive noise caused by continuous noise addition.…”
