Evasion policies for a vessel being chased by pirate skiffs

Piracy attack is a serious safety problem for maritime transport worldwide. Whilst various strategic actions can be taken, such as rerouting vessels and strengthening navy patrols, this still cannot completely eliminate the possibility of a piracy attack. It is therefore important for a commercial vessel to be equipped with operational solutions in case of piracy attacks. In particular, the choice of a direction for rapidly fleeing is a critical decision for the vessel. In this article, we formulate such a problem as a nonlinear optimal control problem. We consider various policies, such as maintaining a straight direction or making turns, develop algorithms to optimize the policies, and derive conditions under which these policies are effective and safe. Our work can be used as a real‐time decision making tool that enables a vessel master to evaluate different scenarios and quickly make decisions.     

INS辅助的GNSS接收机信号捕获性能分析

针对信号捕获过程中Doppler频移造成的影响,采用INS辅助的GNSS信号捕获方法,分析了INS辅助后卫星信号捕获的性能。利用INS速度误差方程与Doppler误差之间的关系,分析INS辅助后的捕获性能,并通过性能参数的比较,理论上验证了INS辅助后的捕获能力的提升。仿真结果表明,INS辅助能够有效提高信号捕获的检测概率和对弱信号的捕获能力,并大幅减小平均捕获时间。同时,考虑到INS器件参数的关键性作用,采用战术级的INS器件完全满足工程需求。     

菜籽油制备生物柴油及其理化性能的研究

研究了植物油(菜籽油)在NaOH催化作用下与甲醇反应制备生物柴油的工艺条件,考察了醇油摩尔比、催化剂用量、反应时间和反应温度等条件对反应的影响,实验结果表明该反应较适宜的条件为:反应温度50℃、醇油摩尔比6:1、催化剂用量为原料油质量的0.8％、反应时间为20min。对所得生物柴油的主要性能指标进行了考察,发现除粘度较大外,其主要性能指标与我国O#柴油相接近,掺入少量柴油后完全可以作为柴油机燃料使用。

Estimating the lead-time demand distribution for an autocorrelated demand by the pearson system and a normal approximation

The exact first four moments of lead-time demand L are derived for an AR(1) and a MA(1) demand structures where the arbitrary lead-time distribution is assumed to be independent of the demand structure. These moments then form a basis for the Pearson curve-fitting procedure for estimating the distribution of L. A normal approximation to L, a version of the central limit theorem, is obtained under some general conditions. Reorder points (ROPs) of an inventory system are then estimated based on the Pearson system and a normal approximation. Their performances are evaluated. Numerical investigation shows that the Pearson system performs extremely well. The normal approximation, however, is good only for some limited cases, and is sensitive to the choice of the lead-time distribution. A possible improvement is noted.

Characterizing the barlow-wu structure functions

Various mathematical models for multistate systems have been proposed in the literature. Among them the model introduced by Barlow and Wu is the one most intimately related to that of binary systems; hence the Barlow-Wu class possesses many nice properties inherited from the binary systems. In this article we obtain several characterization results for multistate systems, which closely relate the Barlow-Wu class to other classes of multistate systems. The characterizations we obtained originate from the invariance properties of the Barlow-Wu functions, and are easy to apply in verifying whether a particular model is of the Barlow-Wu type. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

机动式指挥自动化系统电磁兼容性设计

电磁兼容性设计是机动式指挥自动化系统的重要环节。电磁屏蔽、滤波、接地等技术是电磁兼容性设计的重要方法。电磁屏蔽是抑制辐射干扰的一种有效隔离方法。滤波是抑制传导干扰最直接、最有效的方法,对于瞬态脉冲干扰,最有效的办法是采用脉冲吸收技术。接地的综合考虑,对产品电磁兼容性有至关重要的意义。针对机动式指挥自动化系统的结构和组成特点,给出了一些具体的电磁干扰抑制设计,对满足实际的电磁兼容性方面作出了有意义的尝试。     

美军军法官制度简介

美军的政治性工作一般由两“师”完成,一个是牧师,另一个则是随军律师。而随军律师是处理法律问题的军官的泛称,主要指的就是军法官(JudgeAdvocate)和其领导下的法律助手、律师等。2003年的伊拉克战争中,美军约有103位军法官、62名法律专职助手深入战场。①他们在拘押战犯,发表对外声明,与英军建立联合军事司法系统和提供交战规则,促使官兵遵守国际战争法、军事行动法上起了相当大的作用。一、起源与概念在美军中没有法律战的明确词汇和概念,但是这并不意味着美军不运用法律武器以达到军事目的。相反,他们相当擅长和重视这一工作,而且已有…
