Detection algorithm for wearing safety helmet under mine based on improved YOLOv5s by Yuanbin WANG, Sixiong WEI, Huaying WU, Yu DUAN, Meng LIU

“…Due to the computer system, the global context information of the image is easily lost when the convolutional neural network extracts the features, resulting in poor detection effect of the downhole small target safety helmet. To this end, the attention mechanism CBAM is fused with YOLOv5s to enhance the feature map of the target area and weaken the background information, so as to help the algorithm better locate the small target helmet. …”

Intraocular Pressure Control in Vitreoretinal Surgical Systems by Charles M, Zhu Y, Garufis C, McDonell B, Wuyyuru VD

“…The Constellation and EVA systems were tested using 25-gauge probes in vacuum mode with vacuum settings at 250, 450, and 650 mmHg. The target IOP was 30 mmHg. Average IOP was assessed before aspiration (initial IOP), during vitreous removal (vitreous IOP), and after vitreous removal and replacement with Alcon’s BSS® sterile irrigation solution (BSS IOP).Results: Using Constellation’s IOP control, target IOP (30± 2.5 mmHg) was maintained 93%, 74%, and 63% of the time at 250, 450, and 650 mmHg of vacuum, respectively. …”

Dynamic pilot allocation scheme in massive MIMO system by Xin FANG, Xingxing LI, Haiyan CAO, Peng PAN, Yunju LIU

“…In order to solve the problem of the pilot contamination in multi-cell massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system,a dynamic pilot allocation scheme was proposed by analyzing the error of MMSE channel estimation.Users living in the fringe regions between the target cell and adjacent cells adopt the dynamicpilot allocation scheme,the rest of users are randomly pilot allocation to increase the average achievable sum rate of the downlink.The simulation results show that the proposed method can not only apparently improve the performance of the channel estimation,but also effectively improve the achievable sum rate of the downlink in the whole system.…”

Dynamic Assessment of Vibration of Tooth Modification Gearbox Using Grey Bootstrap Method by Hui-liang Wang, Xiao-zhong Deng, Ju-bo Li, Jian-jun Yang

“…The method can evaluate the vibration signal of gearbox with installation of no tooth modification gear and topological modification gear, respectively, considering that 100% reliability is the constraints condition and minimum average uncertainty is the target value. Computer simulation and experiment results showed that vibration amplitude of gearbox was decreased partly due to topological tooth modification, and each value of average dynamic uncertainty, mean true value, and systematic error measure was smaller than the no tooth modification value. …”
