A method for automatically extracting machinable volumes by considering non-blank type raw material input is proposed. The method takes CSG input (both raw material and finished part) and determine relative shifting origins of the finished part to ensure its machinability. CSG to DSG transformation is performed to extract DSG primitives of raw material and finished part. Both DSG primitives are mapped to find removing volumes based on geometrical definition. The geometrical definition removing volumes are further reorganized into a set of machinable volumes by considering the influence of process information. A prototype system to implement the method is developed on a SUN/260 computer system. An example is evaluated to demonstrate the success of the system.

A systematic procedure for generating impedance matrices for foundations resting on an elastic half-space medium is presented. The prescribed harmonic loading due to the foundation is decomposed into an infinite Fourier series with respect to the azimuth. For each Fourier component an analytic solution is found. Then, provided that the interaction stresses due to excitation of the foundation can be assumed to be piecewise linear in the r-direction of the cylindrical coordinates, the impedance matrix of the foundation can be generated using the variational principle and the reciprocal theorem. A simple example of a rigid circular plate, rigidly attached to the half-space medium, and subjected to torsional, vertical, rocking, and horizontal exitation is used to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the procedure.

When defining and designing software with structured analysis and design methods, we need to restructure data-flow diagrams. Using basic editing operations to restructure large systems with voluminous data-flow diagrams is tedious, laborious and error-prone. It is necessary to have data-flow diagram editors that provide editing operations specific for restructuring. This paper proposes and formally specifies a set of operations sufficient for all restructuring needs. It also confirms that the properties of consistency and completeness are observed by all the restructuring operations, and that both models of data-flow diagrams are equivalent, before and after each of the restructuring operations.

In this paper, a new image compression method is proposed. The approach first provides a decomposition method to segment the gray values of an image into several parts called buckets. The decomposition rule is to make, as much as possible, each bucket contain only one nearly-homogeneous region or edge area. For each pixel P, if the gray values of its three neighbors (top-left, top, left) belong to buckets B1, B2, and B3, respectively, then (B1, B2, B3) is referred to as P's context. An individual predictor is then derived for each set of pixels with the same context. The gray value of each pixel is then estimated by the predictor corresponding to its context. Some degree of distortion is allowed. A pixel with prediction error less than a preset value is considered as a redundant point. An image is finally coded by the prediction errors of nonredundant pixels and by the number of consecutive redundant pixels. Both of these two kinds of values are quantized and coded by their own adaptive Huffman codes. Experimental results show that the proposed method not only possesses high-speed computing property but also provides high compression ratio and good quality.

A series-parallel network is used as a model of electric circuits. Usually, we use a series-parallel graph to represent a series-parallel network. However, there are a lot of different graph representations for a single series-parallel network. For a given graph, a subset of V(G) is called an independent set if there are no edge of G joining two vertices in S. An independent set S of G is maximum if G has no independent set S' with S' > S. The number of vertices in a maximum independent set of G is called the independent number of G and is denoted by alpha-(G). The maximum independent number alpha-(N) for a series-parallel network N is defined to be the maximum alpha(G[N]) among all possible graph representations G[N]. In this paper, we are going to present a linear time algorithm to compute alpha(N) for any series-parallel network N.
QUANTUM EFFECT IN THE ACCUMULATION LAYER ON FIELD-INDUCED PHOTOLUMINESCENCE OF DOUBLE-BARRIER RESONANT TUNNELING STRUCTURES

The photoluminescence (PL) of double-barrier resonant tunneling structures (DBRTSs) with undoped electrodes under bias has been studied. The strong band bending across the cathode causes the quantum size effect in the accumulation layer. The resonant tunneling of electrons from the first excited quantum level in the accumulation layer produces a kink in the current-voltage characteristic. It is found that the PL intensity from the quantum well (QW) as a function of bias sharply peaks at the voltage corresponding to the kink. This provides evidence of the interaction between the first excited quantum state in the accumulation layer and the resonant state in the QW.

The perturbative-variational method is used to study the hydrogen-like shallow donor impurity states of the isotropic semiconductor under a uniform magnetic field from a spherical symmetry approach. Using a magnetic field dependent parameter, which is added in the simple hydrogenic wave functions, the eigenvalues can be determined by optimizing the parameter. The results we obtained are in good agreement with the previous works up to gamma = 5 (e.g., 10(6) T for atoms) for the ground state. The extension to the transitional region by this method is considerably higher than other approaches.

A new spatial knowledge representation 2D C-string with accompanied cutting mechanism and a set of spatial operators are proposed. 2D C-string is characteristic of spatial knowledge embedded in images and is efficient in representation and manipulation of images. In this paper, transitive laws, distributive laws and manipulation laws of picture algebra are presented. All the binary relationships among objects in an image can be derived from 2D C-string. The picture algebra provides the theoretic basis for spatial reasoning and pictorial query inference.
APPROXIMATE SOLUTIONS FOR TRANSIENT-RESPONSE OF A SHELL AND TUBE HEAT-EXCHANGER

Approximate solutions for the transient response of a shell and tube heat exchanger to step change in shell fluid temperature and tube fluid velocity are derived. It has been shown that other previously published limited or approximate solutions are derivable from the exact solutions. The limiting asymptotic "no wall" solutions for both response to shell fluid temperature and tube fluid velocity change are also deducible from a limiting tube wall time constant solution. Some of the approximate solutions presented include the use of simple exponential forms of equations that enable the quick estimation of the time required to reach a given degree of approach to the final steady state. The error between the exact and the approximate exponential form of solutions are in most cases less than 2%. All the previous derived exact and approximate solutions presented here are applicable to crosscurrent, cocurrent, or countercurrent flow heat exchangers with one infinite thermal capacitance rate fluid.

We demonstrated a near-infrared transmittance setup for EL2 concentration mapping in undoped semi-insulating (SI) GaAs wafers. The light source was a power-stabilized laser diode (lambda = 1.3-mu-m) operating in the light emitting diode (LED) mode. The sensitivity of the apparatus was as low as 10(14) cm-3 for typical commerical wafers 350-mu-m in thickness.

A modified technique for optimum design with significant plant uncertainty is presented using Wiener's least-square optimization with a quadratic constraint in the frequency domain. The plant uncertainty is transformed into an external disturbance and the procedures of the optimum design problem become much simpler. Examples are used to illustrate the design process. Computer simulations are performed to show that the designed results meet the specifications.

This paper is the second in a series describing propagation of electromagnetic radiation in phase-conjugate oscillators. We apply the formulation developed in the first paper to study the phase-conjugate resonator (PCR) and the Fabry-Perot cavity with an intracavity phase-conjugate mirror (PCM). Our results show that nondegenerate oscillation occurs in the PCR for large parametric gains and fixed separation between the conventional reflector and the PCM. The bandwidth is considerably reduced from that of a PCM alone. In the phase-conjugate oscillator, oscillation will occur at the pump frequency only if there is no separation between the conventional mirrors and the phase-conjugate element and if the nonlinear medium fills the entire Fabry-Perot cavity.
BROADCASTING CRYPTOSYSTEM IN COMPUTER-NETWORKS USING INTERPOLATING POLYNOMIALS

Based on the characteristics of the interpolating polynomials and some properties of the Euclidean geometry, a cryptosystem for broadcasting secrets in computer networks is presented. It is assumed that there is a central authority server (CAS) in a network system. Each principal of the network owns a secret point, known only to the principal and the CAS. When a secure broadcasting request is initiated, the CAS computes an interpolating polynomial P(x) on the secret points owned by the originator and the legal recipient(s). The CAS then cleverly reveals some public points to let the originator and legal recipient(s) reconstruct P(x), whereas illegal recipients are unable to do so. With these public points and a value c, the originator has P(c) as the encryption/decryption key, and can broadcast c and the message encrypted by P(c) in the network. For the legal recipients, P(x) can be reconstructed, and thus P(c) obtained. Since the legal recipients cannot obtain the exact P(x), they have no way of finding the decryption key.

Using the special Riemann-problem technique of Zakharov et al. [Sov. Phys. JETP 47, 1017 (1978)], an explicit N-step Backlund transformation is derived for a class of 1 + 1-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations, thus providing an alternative explicit expression of their N-soliton solutions which no longer involves computations of the intermediate solutions, nor leaves any expansion of N x N determinants (and their differentiation) to be done.

Three transformation formulas are derived that related the quaternions to the direction cosine matrix used in strapdown inertial systems. Transformation errors associated with these formulas are fully analyzed. The drift errors evaluated under constant angular velocity have been shown to vary slightly among three different transformations. It is shown that the skew errors in three transformation schemes are not all intrinsically zero. Yet the scale errors may differ largely by two orders of magnitude among transformation schemes. This may become a selection criteria for selection of attitude transformation schemes.

The extinction ratio of a Raman amplified optical fibre system is investigated. The results show that serious extinction ratio degradation occurs at high pump level. Because the Raman gain increases with pump power, there exists a trade-off between the extinction ratio and the achievable amplifier gain. A design rule to estimate the suitable pump power is presented.

This paper is concerned with a number of upstream-weighted second- and third-order difference schemes. Also considered are the conventional upwind and central difference schemes for comparison. It commences with a general difference equation which unifies all the given first-, second- and third-order schemes. The various schemes are evaluated through the use of the general equation. The unboundedness and accuracy of the solutions by the difference schemes are assessed via various analyses: examination of the coefficients of the difference equation, Taylor series truncation error analysis, study of the upstream connection to numerical diffusion, single-cell analysis. Finally, the difference schemes are tested on one- and two-dimensional model problems. It is shown that the high-order schemes suffer less from the problem of numerical diffusion than the first-order upwind difference scheme. However, unboundedness cannot be avoided in the solutions by these schemes. Among them the linear upwind difference scheme presents the best compromise between numerical diffusion and solution unboundedness.
