THE VARIATIONAL NONLINEAR CHIRP MODE DECOMPOSITION BASED ON CONVEX OPTIMIZATION FOR FAULT DIAGNOSIS by MA YuBo, LV Yong, YI CanCan

“…The problem in the processing of mechanical fault vibration signal by variational nonlinear chirp mode decomposition（VNCMD）,the noise leads to time-frequency surface blurring,which reduces the accuracy of time-frequency ridges extracted,and then affects the decomposition effect of VNCMD,is aimed at,so a joint fault diagnosis of convex optimization and VNCMD is proposed.The noise can be eliminated by solving the sparse approximate solution of signal via the convex optimization algorithm,which can improve the readability of the time-frequency surface,so as to obtain accurate timefrequency ridges.Then,by using these ridges,the fault features of the signal can be extracted effectively via VNCMD.Through the analysis of simulated signal and the measured bearing outer ring fault data,the results demonstrate that the proposed method can realize the accurate extraction of rolling bearing fault feature.…”

Opportunistic spectrum accessing joint distance with service characteristics in IOT networks by Jun SUN, Hong-bo ZHU

“…An accessing scheme which combines distance with service for the applications in IOT networks was proposed.First,a channel-availability list based on the distance relationship between system and non-system users was built.The list provided a priority of each channel for non-system users.Then the service-matched expression between the IOT user and the liscensed user was proposed.Based on the list and the expression,a interfrence-driven utility function was defined.Finally,the accessing scheme was optimized from the cross-layer design point of view.It was proved that the scheme guaranteed both the interference suppression and the resource sharing in IOT based on the QoS requirements.…”

An Algorithm for Retrieving Precipitable Water Vapor over Land Based on Passive Microwave Satellite Data by Fang-Cheng Zhou, Xiaoning Song, Pei Leng, Hua Wu, Bo-Hui Tang

“…In Zhangye, the algorithm had a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 4.39 mm and a bias of 0.36 mm on cloud-free days, while on cloudy days there was an RMSE of 4.84 mm and a bias of 0.52 mm because of the effect of liquid water in clouds. The validations in Dalanzadgad and Singapore sites showed that the retrieval algorithm had an RMSE of 4.73 mm and a bias of 0.84 mm and the bigger errors appeared when the water vapor was very dry or very moist.…”

3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing Single Titanium Dental Implants: A Prospective Multicenter Study with 3 Years of Follow-Up by Samy Tunchel, Alberto Blay, Roni Kolerman, Eitan Mijiritsky, Jamil Awad Shibli

“…After 3 years of loading, six implants failed, for an overall implant survival rate of 94.5%; among the 104 surviving implant-supported restorations, 6 showed complications and were therefore considered unsuccessful, for an implant-crown success of 94.3%. The mean distance between the implant shoulder and the first visible bone-implant contact was 0.75 mm (±0.32) and 0.89 (±0.45) after 1 and 3 years of loading, respectively. 3DP/AM titanium dental implants seem to represent a successful clinical option for the rehabilitation of single-tooth gaps in both jaws, at least until 3-year period. …”
