Trajectory planning is a key technology for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to achieve complex flight missions. In this paper, a terminal constraints conversion-based Gauss pseudospectral trajectory planning optimization method is proposed. Firstly, the UAV trajectory planning mathematical model is established with considering the boundary conditions and dynamic constraints of UAV. Then, a terminal constraint handling strategy is presented to tackle terminal constraints by introducing new penalty parameters so as to improve the performance index. Combined with Gauss-Legendre collocation discretization, the improved Gauss pseudospectral method is given in detail. Finally, simulation tests are carried out on a four-quadrotor UAV model with different terminal constraints to verify the performance of the proposed method. Test studies indicate that the proposed method performances well in handling complex terminal constraints and the improvements are efficient to obtain better performance indexes when compared with the traditional Gauss pseudospectral method.

Partially penetrated SCP method is to install sand compaction piles in a soft clay layer not penetrating to the bed layer. In this study, consolidation behaviors of soft grounds improved by both partially and fully penetrated SCP methods are presented. When the replacement ratio is low, the settlement characteristic of the ground improved by fully penetrated SCP method seems to be consistent regardless the degree of consolidation. On the other hands, the ground improved by partially penetrated SCP method appears to decrease depending on the degree of consolidation. In addition, the settlement of upper clay layer is more increasing as the penetration ratio ($H_d/H$) is decreasing. No effect of stress concentration at the lower part of the partially penetrated SCP method is developed. The ratio of stress sharing appears to be almost consistent regardless the degree of consolidation.

In this paper, we proposed a deep learning based super-resolution method that combines Channel Attention and Spatial Attention feature enhancement methods. It is important to restore high-frequency components, such as texture and features, that have large changes in surrounding pixels during super-resolution processing. We proposed a super-resolution method using feature enhancement that combines Channel Attention and Spatial Attention. The existing CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) based super-resolution method has difficulty in deep network learning and lacks emphasis on high frequency components, resulting in blurry contours and distortion. In order to solve the problem, we used an emphasis block that combines Channel Attention and Spatial Attention to which Skip Connection was applied, and a Residual Block. The emphasized feature map extracted by the method was extended through Sub-pixel Convolution to obtain the super resolution. As a result, about PSNR improved by 5%, SSIM improved by 3% compared with the conventional SRCNN, and by comparison with VDSR, about PSNR improved by 2% and SSIM improved by 1%.

A new Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) wavelength demodulation scheme is studied in the paper, which consists of an improved de-noising method and Gaussian fitting peak searching algorithm. The improved translational invariant wavelet without threshold adjust factor is proposed to get a better de-noising performance for FBG sensor signal and overcome the drawbacks of soft or hard threshold wavelets. In order to get a high wavelength demodulation precision of FBG sensor signal, this de-noising method is designed to combine with Gaussian fitting peak searching algorithm. The simulation results show that the wavelength maximum measurement error is lower than 1pm, and can get a much higher accuracy.

In this paper, improved stability criteria for linear systems with time-varying delays are proposed. By constructing a new Lyapunov functional, novel stability criteria are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Two numerical examples are carried out to support the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this study, medical images, which are X-ray image and CT image, are compressed by the adam live coding technique. The medical images may be treated as special ones, because they are different from general images in many respects. The statistical characteristics that medical images only have in transform domain are analyzed, and then the improved quantization method is proposed for medical images. For chest X-ray image and CT head image, the better results are obtained by the improved adaptive coding technique.

We explored a new way of designing dynamic logic gates with low temperature polysilicon thin film transistors to increase the speed. The proposed architecture of logic gates utilizes the structural advantage of smaller junction capacitance of thin film transistors. This method effectively blocks leakage of current through the thin film transistors. Furthermore, the number of transistors used in logic gates is reduced thereby reducing power consumption and chip area. Through HSPICE .simulation, it is confirmed that the circuit speed is also improved in all logic gates designed.
