Research on Pantograph-Catenary Dynamics Characteristics in Mixed Double Pantographs Formation of Different Types by LU Wenwei, ZHOU Ning, CHEN Hongming, WANG Xuyang, CHENG Yao, ZHANG Weihua

“…Therefore, adjusting the value of c3 can effectively improve the current collection quality of pantograph and thus reduce the fluctuation amplitude of contact line uplift. When two different pantographs are in mixed operation, if the dynamic performance of the leading pantograph is better, the current collection quality of trailing pantograph will also be better; if the dynamic performance of leading pantograph is poor, the fluctuation amplitude of the average contact line uplift amount at each position behind the leading pantograph can be reduced by adjusting the value of c3, thereby optimizing dynamics performance of the trailing pantograph.…”

Convolutive blind source separation method based on tensor decomposition by Baoze MA, Tianqi ZHANG, Zeliang AN, Pan DENG

“…A convolutive blind source separation algorithm was proposed based on tensor decomposition framework, to address the estimation of mixed filter matrix and the permutation alignment of frequency bin simultaneously.Firstly, the tensor models at all frequency bins were constructed according to the estimated autocorrelation matrix of the observed signals.Secondly, the factor matrix corresponding to each frequency bin was calculated by tensor decomposition technique as the estimated mixed filter matrix for that bin.Finally, a global optimal permutation strategy with power ratio as the permutation alignment measure was adopted to eliminate the permutation ambiguity in all the frequency bins.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves better separation performance than other existing algorithms when dealing with convolutive mixed speech under different simulation conditions.…”

Load balancing method of service cluster based on mean-variance by Xiaoan BAO, Xue WEI, Lei CHEN, Guoheng HU, Na ZHANG

“…When a large number of concurrent requests are allocated,the load scheduling mechanism is to achieve the load balancing of nodes in the network by minimizing the response time and maximizing the utilization ratio of nodes.In the load balancing algorithm based on genetic algorithm,the fitness function is designed to have an important influence on the load balancing efficiency.A service cluster load balancing method based on mean-variance was proposed to optimize the fitness function.The investment portfolio selection model mean-variance was used to minimize the response time,which was used to get the weight of each server's resource utilization,so as to obtain the optimal allocation combination.This method improves the accuracy and efficiency of the fitness function.Compared with other models in different service environment,the simulation results show that the load balancing algorithm makes the service cluster get a better balance performance in terms of node utilization and response time.…”
