A new deadlock-free routing algorithm for NoC was proposed based on 2D-Torus topology. By changing the position of packets that are restricted to turn during NoC routing， the adaptive routing condition of network-on-chip was guaranteed， and the delay of network-on-chip was reduced. The 2D-Torus NoC based on this routing algorithm was designed and implemented on FPGA hardware platform， and then was tested. The experimental results indicated that the NoC based on this routing algorithm can meet the performance requirements of network-on-chip data communication for multi-direction and multi-channel.

The power consumption of rotating drum under different operating parameters were measured. The results show that the particle separation is more evident when the drum is operated at high fill level， where the small particles surrounded by large particles are mostly observed. When the filling rate is low， it is unobvious for the particle separation of the similar size particles at different rotating speeds. The larger difference of the particle size， the more particle separation occurs. With the increasing rotational speed and fill level， the power consumption increases， while the power consumption is relatively less sensitive to the particle size ratio.

Dissolution and Agglomeration Behavior of Alumina in Aluminum Electrolysis YANG You-jian， LI You-cai， WANG Zhao-wen， SHI Zhong-ning 2021, 42 (1):  55-61.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2021.01.009 Abstract ( 1249 )   HTML ( 13)   PDF (1705KB) ( 569 )   The agglomerating behavior and heat transfer process upon the addition of smelting grade alumina into cryolite electrolyte were studied using the see-through cell platform， especially the formation and dissolution of the agglomerate. The dissolution rate of the alumina agglomerate was measured， and physicochemical properties of the alumina agglomerate was analyzed. The influence factors， such as the electrolyte temperature， alumina feeding amount， alumina preheating temperature and superheat during the dissolution and formation of the agglomerate were investigated through heat balance calculation. The results show that during the re-establishment of a new heat balance after alumina feeding， the absorbed heat for alumina dissolution is firstly supplied by electrolyte cooling. When the temperature drop is above the liquidus temperature of the electrolyte， which cannot provide enough heat for the dissolution， electrolyte condensation would take place and release more heat. In contrast to a relatively high electrolyte temperature and high superheat， a high frequent and small amount of alumina feeding would benefit the electrolysis process.

The existent forms of lithium element in electrolyte and cathode carbon blocks were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope， and the cathode permeation mechanism of lithium element in aluminum electrolysis was studied. The results show that the lithium element in electrolyte is primarily in the form of LiNa2AlF6. Some lithium ions in molten electrolyte are reduced to lithium metal by aluminum and the Mole fraction of lithium in aluminum liquid is positively related to the Mole fraction of lithium fluoride in electrolyte. The lithium in the electrolyte permeating the cathode carbon blocks through the pores and cracks in the cathode carbon blocks is mainly in the form of fluorides. The lithium in the aluminum liquid cannot diffuse into the cathode carbon blocks. References | Related Articles | Metrics

A machine vision method based on deep learning was proposed to classify the winding images during the winding process to solve the optical fiber winding problem. By considering the effect of the force between the optical fibers when the optical fiber was winding， the optical fiber winding model was established， and the speed expression of the arranging mechanism was proposed when the optical fiber was winding. The camera was used to collect a large number of optical fiber winding pictures to form a data set， and a neural network model was built and trained to classify the winding situation. Experimental verification showed that the accuracy of this method for gap state recognition is over 94.67%， and the accuracy of overlapped line recognition is 100%. The inspection speed is higher than the actual production winding speed. It is a favorable method that can be combined with the control system to replace manual winding and realize automatic precision winding. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Fluid-Solid-Thermal Coupling Characteristics of Ejector Valve Adjusting Structure LUO Zhong， SUN Yong-hang， GE Chang-chuang， XU Chun-yang 2021, 42 (1):  75-82.  DOI: 10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2021.01.012 Abstract ( 562 )   HTML ( 4)   PDF (3057KB) ( 245 )   Aiming at the structural strength of the valve adjusting structure of the marine gas turbine ejector under fluid-solid-thermal coupling， the three-dimensional flow field of the ejector and the structural model of the valve plate were established. The steady-state and transient simulation analysis of the flow field were carried out by using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. Taking the transient simulation results as the boundary conditions of the finite element model， the sequential unidirectional fluid-solid-thermal coupling analysis including thermal， aerodynamic and centrifugal loads was carried out. The result showed that compared with the steady-state simulation， the trend of transient simulation results is similar， but the pressure difference is larger. The steady-state solution of the time-varying load may lead to underestimation of strength. For the valve adjusting structure， the thermal load plays a major role in the deformation and stress of the valve plate. The bending stress caused by the aerodynamic load can offset part of the bending stress caused by the thermal load， while the centrifugal load has little effect on the structure， which can be ignored. The analysis method can be used for the structural design and optimization of such typical motion adjusting structures as ejector valve adjusting structure. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The matrix tension failure， the matrix compression failure， the fiber tension failure and the fiber compression failure were considered by selecting two-dimensional Hashin as the damage criterion. The load condition and the failure mode were discussed， and the effects of the ply angle and the size of the center hole on the ultimate load were analyzed. The results showed that the dominant failure modes are matrix tension failure and the fiber tension failure， and the fibers are the strength source of the composite laminate. When the load direction does not agree with the fiber direction， the mechanical performance of the composite laminate degenerates. The mechanical performance of the composite laminate becomes worse as the center hole becomes larger， and is linear with the size of the center hole. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The input image was decomposed into one base layer and three detail layers by using the LEP filter. An adaptive logarithmic transformation was carried out in the base layer to compress the dynamic range and the three detail layers were enhanced by an adaptive Sigmoid function. Every detail layer image was fused with the base layer image and histogram equalization was taken considering noise and increasing contrast. The proposed algorithm was used to dispose the high and low energy X-ray images at the same time and both of them were combined according to their own merits， which could get a low dynamic range dual X-ray image with rich details. Experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm highly improves images information entropy， contrast improvement index and peak signal to noise ratio， which indicates that the image quality is successfully optimized.

On this basis， a sliding mode observer was designed to estimate the speed and rotor position signals. In order to verify the observation effect， the sensorless algorithm was simulated and compared under the two axis systems. A fusion observation algorithm based on the extended Kalman filtering was proposed according to the characteristics of the low accuracy of the rotor position signal under the d-q axis system and the high frequency chattering of the signals under the α-β axis system. Simulation results showed that the fusion observation algorithm has less error and good dynamic characteristics. Besides， the effectiveness of the fusion observation algorithm was verified by experiments. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Flotation tests， EDLVO calculations， particle size analysis and SEM analysis were used to investigate the depression effect of starch on fine hematite with the assistance of magnetic seeding aggregation. The results showed that the depression effect of starch on hematite decreased with the decrease of hematite particle size. The addition of magnetite enhanced the depression effect， which became more obvious with the increase of magnetite particle size. The attraction between magnetite of different sizes and fine hematite leads to the aggregation of magnetite with hematite particles， and the larger the particle size of magnetite， the stronger the attraction is. The magnetic seeding aggregation increased the apparent particle size of fine hematite， thus strengthened the depression effect of starch on hematite. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The results show that the granular backfills improve the stress state of the rock pillar， and the peak and residual compressive strengths of rock pillar are enhanced due to the passive lateral support of the granular backfills. Meanwhile， the failure pattern of the rock pillar has changed. With an increase of the particle size of granular backfills， the interaction between the granular backfills and the rock pillar intensifies first and then weakens. On this basis of testing results， the model for bearing capacity of pillar is established considering the interaction between granular backfills and rock pillar， and the relationship between the deformation modulus of granular backfills and rock pillar is given.

A fully-grouted rock bolt was prepared by using 3D printing， and strain gauges were installed inside and outside the bolt respectively. The evolution law of tensile strain in the fully-grouted rock bolt during the fracture propagation process was obtained by uniaxial compression test. It was found that the outer strain gauges were greatly affected by the shear deformation of the grout， and the measurement results are easy to be distorted when the plastic deformation capacity of the grout is high. However， the internal strain gauges could accurately obtain the complete strain of bolt. Finally， the failure process of rock bolt in fractured zone was numerically simulated by FLAC software， the influence of strain gauge location on the measurement results was verified， which further proved the reliability of measurement by strain gauges inside the rock bolt.

For fast spin echo pulse sequence， a stimulated echo artifact correction method was proposed. The spin echo and stimulated echo were separated by two times of excitations， then the area of dispersion gradient was adjusted to make the center of stimulated echo coincide with that of the spin echo， and the phase angle of 180° refocusing pulse was modified to make the phase of stimulated echo and spin echo consistent. The correction method was tested and validated on a 1.5T superconducting MRI scanner. After stimulated echo artifact was corrected， the signal to noise ratio of the FSE image was improved by 57.08%， while the image artifact was reduced by 76.12%. The experimental results showed that the proposed method can effectively suppress stimulated echo artifacts on FSE image and improve the image quality. References | Related Articles | Metrics
