Overview of the key technology of photonic firewall at high speed by Shanguo HUANG, Xin LI, Ying TANG, Junfeng GUO

“…In order to maintain the security of optical network,it is urgent to research and deploy photonic firewall which can effectively process high-speed optical signals to replace existing electronic firewall which consumes high energy.After a brief review of the principle of photonic firewall,the pattern matching technology based on correlation operation and all-optical logic gates were summarized,and the matching systems was compared according to their advantages and disadvantages.Besides,the realization methods of all-optical logic gates were introduced.Finally,the next research direction and development trend of all-optical pattern matching were prospected:more efficient system structure or non-linear devices with faster response speed.The survey shows that photonic firewall based on all-optical pattern matching has a good application prospect in network security.…”

FAULT DIAGNOSIS OF ROLLING BEARINGS BASED ON SDP AND IMPROVED SAM⁃MobileNetv2 by ZHANG TianYuan, SUN HuEr, ZHU JiYang, ZHAO Yang

“…Traditional fault diagnosis methods for rolling bearings are difficult to accurately and efficiently achieve fault classification.A method of rolling bearing fault classification based on symmetrized dot pattern(SDP)and improved SAM⁃MobileNetv2 was proposed.Firstly,the bearing vibration signal was transformed into two⁃dimensional images with rich characteristic information by SDP algorithm.Secondly,the two⁃dimensional images were fed into the SAM⁃MobileNetv2 network model,which extracted and classified fault feature information.Improved SAM⁃MobileNetv2 networks used the adaptive activation function ACON to replace the ReLU6 activation function in SAM⁃MobileNetv2 to improve model classification performance.Finally,this model was compared with various models.The experimental results show that this model can accurately and efficiently realize the classification of rolling bearing faults,using Case Western Reserve University bearing fault data with an accuracy rate of 99.5%,using the University of Ottawa bearing failure data with an accuracy rate of 97.2%.…”
