Land vehicle positioning using GPS and dead reckoning

To ensure reliable land vehicle positioning, the Global Positioning System (GPS) is one of the best techniques commonly used in present-day positioning systems. However, GPS signals are not available if line of sight with the satellites is lost. In this respect, the addition of the Dead Reckoning (DR) method to complement the GPS unit would enhance the reliability of land vehicle positioning system. For implementing the DR method, the magnetic sensor and accelerometer are used for obtaining heading and velocity or distance information. Calibration of two sensors' dynamic model and DR algorithm are also introduced in this paper. The test result utilizing the GPS and DR methods is analyzed in this paper. It utilize spositioning information from GPS receiver when GPSsignal is available, otherwise DR is started to compensate GPS outage with the GPS output as the original point. The results showed that the error in east and north produced by the DR algorithm for a short time interval can be limitedwithin an acceptable range.     

In-vehicle GPS/DR navigation system development and test results in Singapore

This paper introduces the in-car navigation system prototype development and test results under the context of Singapore. In the system, integrated GPS/DR is used for continuous vehicle positioning. A digital road network map database is built for the whole Singapore. The database is designed to support map matching, route determination, and route guidance functions. The prototype system demonstrates GPS positioning of the vehicle in real-time, tracking the vehicle onto a digital map with fix updates every one or two seconds.With the map matched vehicle location on the map, voice and/or text guidance is provide to the driver. The vehicle position can also be transferred to control centre through communication data link for the purpose of fleet management.     

A carbon- and oxygen-isotope record of recent environ- mental change from Qinghai Lake, NE Tibetan Plateau

An understanding of natural climatic variability is essential for evaluating anthropogenic impacts on recent and future climate[1—3]. Due to the lack of lengthy instrumental records, such an understanding must be gained from natural archives of climate change. Palaeolimnological indicators of past lake levels may provide a sensitive record of changes in effective precipitation in closed basins. This approach is particularly relevant on the Tibetan Plateau, where instrumental records are very…

连续系统振动特征值摄动问题的统一解法

将离散系统振动分析中的通用的矩阵摄动法推广到连续系统。采用弹性结构理论算子，对连续系统的振动特征值摄动问题进行统一描述。根据特征函数子空间缩聚法和正交分解的基本原理，推导了统一的摄动公式。该方法能同时有效地处理孤立、重及密集特征值3种不同情况。以薄膜振动和变厚度薄板弯曲振动的特征值问题为例，阐明了方法的实际应用。     

纤维对PEI改性环氧树脂单向复合材料形态的影响

人们改善环氧树脂基复合材料的脆性通常只改善环氧树脂基体和增强纤维间的界面，提高环氧树脂韧性的另一种常用方法是添加初始相容性良好的热塑性树脂如聚醚酰亚胺，在某一转化率（取决于体系的组成和反应温度）时体系发生相转变，体系最终的形态由相转变速率和环氧树脂反应速度所控制。本文作者研究了两种增强纤维（玻璃纤维和碳纤维）对不同环氧树脂／聚醚酰亚爱体系形态形成的影响，结果发现体系中纤维的存在不会影响基体相分离过程，但会改变体系的最终形态；形态的变化与纤维的品种关系不大；基体中不同组分的粘度是影响复合材料形态形成的关键因素。
