Test Research of Friction Performance of Sinter Brake Pad for EMU by WANG Fei, WANG Fengzhou

“…According to the research results, the stability of friction coefficient at low pressure, low speed and high temperature could be evaluated when the quality of brake pads need to be evaluated. Pad A was selected to be mounted at cars, and after the in-service test of 600,000 km, it didn’t appear any hot spots, scratches, thermal cracks and other bad phenomena on the brake disc friction surfaces, and the brake pad was in good condition without block dropping anomalies, which proved that the brake pads could meet the requirements of the 250 km/h EMU. …”

LTE resource-aware dynamic adaptive wireless multimedia streaming system by Bingjiang CAI

“…The quality of user experience in adaptive video streaming, to a large extent, depends on the accuracy of the end-to-end bandwidth estimation.However, bandwidth estimation is very challenging in highly dynamic LTE network.LTE resource-aware dynamic adaptive wireless multimedia streaming system was designed and implemented in which the LTE resource block monitor module keeps monitoring the cell-wide physical layer resource utility.The rate scaling mechanism mapped the throughput to an estimation of available bandwidth and the rate adaption algorithm selected the most appropriate representation combining current available bandwidth with buffer state and played a trade-off between video quality and the risk of stalling.The experimental results on the prototype system show that comparing with the two baseline algorithms, the proposed system achieves the highest average video bitrate while maintaining a fairly low stalling rate, and effectively enhances the quality of experience.…”
