Traffic measurement algorithm based on least recent used and Bloom filter by Zhen ZHANG, Bin-qiang WANG, Feng-yu ZHANG, Ning-ning LIANG

“…Aiming at the naïve algorithm’s deficiency of high false negative probability,a novel scheme called LRU-BF(least recent used ＆amp;Bloom filter) was presented.In order to achieve high accuracy,the algorithm adopted mechanisms of LRU eliminating and Bloom filter representation to separate the process of heavy-hitter fliteration from the heavy-hitter recognition.Based on statistical theory,analytical expressions about upper-bound error probability were deduced.Simulated results indicate that LRU-BF can achieve space saving and lower error probabilit compared with Naïve-LRU algorithm.Meanwhile,it can also support the 10Gbit/s line-speed processing.…”

Thermal Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Analysis of Point Contact for Aviation Transmission by Lu Fengxia, Long Yushi

“…The rolling bearings are widely used in the aviation transmission because of the low friction coefficient,high load ability and high reliability.It’s of great significance to study the life and contact analysis of the bearing under heavy load and severe lubrication based on the numerical analysis of thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication（EHL） in point contact.The numerical calculation of isothermal EHL and thermal EHL models in point contact are carried out by adopting compound direct iteration method.The oil film pressure,thickness and temperature are obtained by means of Fortran,Origin and Matlab software.Synthetically considering the effect of load,speed,material and ellipticity parameter on EHL in point contact,the certain theoretical basis for heavy-load aviation transmission system is provided.…”
