A TSN traffic scheduling algorithm combined with enqueue shaping by Wenxuan HAN, Hailong ZHU, Xinxin HE, Yanjue LI, Changchuan YIN

“…Most of the existing studies on the scheduling of mixed traffic in time-sensitive network (TSN) focus on how to ensure low-latency of stream reservation (SR) traffic.However, SR traffic blocks best-effort (BE) traffic for a long time will lead to excessive delay in BE traffic, which is not conducive to the state maintenance of network and the management of system.In order to reduce the maximum end-to-end delay of BE messages, a traffic scheduling algorithm which combines with enqueue shaping was proposed.It reduced the blocking of BE traffic by reducing the reserved bandwidth of SR traffic.The algorithm first added enqueue buffers in front of SR queues.Then, the reserved bandwidth ratio among the same priority traffic was adjusted by setting the number of frames in each enqueue buffer entering the SR queue during enqueue shaping.Finally, it jointed egress shaping to reserve bandwidth resources for each SR flow to match its latency requirement.Simulation results showed that combining enqueue shaping can reduce the maximum end-to-end delay of BE messages by 9.66%～75.76%.…”

L’Habitat inhabitable : le sous‑terrain comme lieu de vie by Marie Trossat

“…In this sense, the unbreathable character of underground space is not only qualified in its materiality, but also in the injunctions that guide it and in the place it provides or deprives. Finally, the concept of uninhabitable habitat aims at exploring the extraordinarily common of our built environment and to establish levers for action in the situations of undesirability that it implies.…”

Quelques remarques sur la genèse de la Chronique de Spišská Sobota by Adrien Quéret-Podesta

“…The examination of the manuscript also seems to indicate that the chronicle was written at the turn of the 1450s and 1460s, i.e. only a few years before the end of the towns’ autonomy in 1465: the prospect of this event might thus have played a role in the creation of the chronicle. Finally, the analysis of place names in Spiš mentioned in this work strongly suggests it was composed in Levoča by one layman involved in the administration of the city.…”

Study on mobile target real-time image registration based on improved SURF algorithm by Gang JU, Liang YUAN, Xiao-yue LIU, Hao-en YUE

“…For the unstability of the real-time visual image characteristic point extraction and matching for the mobile target,an improved registration method of the multiple algorithm-fusion was introduced.Firstly,the method of bilateral filtering,Canny edge detection and morphological processing,was adopted to get the more robust image's edge map.And the founded points were limited in this edge map,then the Hessian matrix of SURF based on the discrete Gaussian-Hermite moment was modified.The character description vector was redefined in the algorithm.Following the above analysis,the Kendall coefficient constraint was discussed in image matching characteristic points.Secondly,the spectral radiant color invariant model and the I_SURF algorithm were used to match the real-time color image.Finally,the improved algorithm was combined with the update algorithm of adaptive target to match the mobile target in indoor environment.The experimental results show that the static image registration accuracy of the improved algorithm is higher than that of the SURF algorithm,and also the stability of the mobile image feature points extraction and the registration number have achieved over 97% under different rotating scales.…”
