An edge-based solution-adaptive method applied to the AIRPLANE code
Computational methods to solve large-scale realistic problems in fluid flow can be made more efficient and cost effective by using them in conjunction with dynamic mesh adaption procedures that perform simultaneous coarsening and refinement to capture flow features of interest. This work couples the tetrahedral mesh adaption scheme, 3D_TAG, with the AIRPLANE code to solve complete aircraft configuration problems in transonic and supersonic flow regimes. Results indicate that the near-field sonic boom pressure signature of a cone-cylinder is improved, the oblique and normal shocks are better resolved on a transonic wing, and the bow shock ahead of an unstarted inlet is better defined.

Plasma-based edge terminations for gallium nitride power devices
A p-n diode includes a first electrode, a n-GaN layer on the first electrode, a p-GaN layer on the n-GaN layer, and a second electrode on a first portion of the p-GaN layer. A region of the p-GaN layer surrounding the electrode is a passivated region. Treating a GaN power device having a p-GaN layer includes covering a portion of the p-GaN layer with a metal layer, exposing the p-GaN layer to a hydrogen plasma, and thermally annealing the p-GaN layer, thereby passivating a region of the p-GaN layer proximate the metal layer.

Image analysis by integration of disparate information
Image analysis often starts with some preliminary segmentation which provides a representation of the scene needed for further interpretation. Segmentation can be performed in several ways, which are categorized as pixel based, edge-based, and region-based. Each of these approaches are affected differently by various factors, and the final result may be improved by integrating several or all of these methods, thus taking advantage of their complementary nature. In this paper, we propose an approach that integrates pixel-based and edge-based results by utilizing an iterative relaxation technique. This approach has been implemented on a massively parallel computer and tested on some remotely sensed imagery from the Landsat-Thematic Mapper (TM) sensor.

Range image segmentation using Zernike moment-based generalized edge detector
The authors proposed a novel Zernike moment-based generalized step edge detection method which can be used for segmenting range and intensity images. A generalized step edge detector is developed to identify different kinds of edges in range images. These edge maps are thinned and linked to provide final segmentation. A generalized edge is modeled in terms of five parameters: orientation, two slopes, one step jump at the location of the edge, and the background gray level. Two complex and two real Zernike moment-based masks are required to determine all these parameters of the edge model. Theoretical noise analysis is performed to show that these operators are quite noise tolerant. Experimental results are included to demonstrate edge-based segmentation technique.

Multi-scale fusion algorithm of intensity and polarization-difference images based on edge information enhancement
To better integrate complementary and redundant information from different source images, improve the edge information, and facilitate the target detection. A multi-scale fusion algorithm of intensity and polarization-difference (PD) images based on edge information enhancement is proposed. Firstly, intensity images are obtained by the polarization information analysis method. PD images are obtained by the adaptive polarization-difference imaging approach based on the principle of minimum mutual information. Secondly, guided filter, affine transformations and Block-Matching and 3D filtering are embedded in visibility enhancement to improve the intensity and PD images. Thirdly, the two images are decomposed into high-frequency and low-frequency images by the dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT). The high-frequency and low-frequency images are fused by the fusion rules based on edge detection and the regional variance matching degree respectively. Finally, the fusion image is obtained by the inverse DT-CWT. Experimental results demonstrate that fusion images of the proposed algorithm are significantly improved in information entropy, average gradient, and spatial frequency. Compared with the existing methods, it can achieve a better edge enhancement for images in a turbid medium.

An Intelligent Garbage Sorting System Based on Edge Computing and Visual Understanding of Social Internet of Vehicles
In order to enable Social Internet of Vehicles devices to achieve the purpose of intelligent and autonomous garbage classification in a public environment, while avoiding network congestion caused by a large amount of data accessing the cloud at the same time, it is therefore considered to combine mobile edge computing with Social Internet of Vehicles to give full play to mobile edge computing features of high bandwidth and low latency. At the same time, based on cutting-edge technologies such as deep learning, knowledge graph, and 5G transmission, the paper builds an intelligent garbage sorting system based on edge computing and visual understanding of Social Internet of Vehicles. First of all, for the massive multisource heterogeneous Social Internet of Vehicles big data in the public environment, different item modal data adopts different processing methods, aiming to obtain a visual understanding model. Secondly, using the 5G network, the model is deployed on the edge device and the cloud for cloud-side collaborative management, aiming to avoid the waste of edge node resources, while ensuring the data privacy of the edge node. Finally, the Social Internet of Vehicles devices is used to make intelligent decision-making on the big data of the items. First, the items are judged as garbage, and then the category is judged, and finally the task of grabbing and sorting is realized. The experimental results show that the system proposed in this paper can efficiently process the big data of Social Internet of Vehicles and make valuable intelligent decisions. At the same time, it also has a certain role in promoting the promotion of Social Internet of Vehicles devices.

Theoretical Calculations of the Pressures, Forces, and Moments Due to Various Lateral Motions Acting on Tapered Sweptback Vertical Tails with Supersonic Leading and Trailing Edges
Based on expressions for the linearized velocity potentials and pressure distributions given in NACA Technical Report 1268, formulas for the span load distribution, forces, and moments are derived for families of thin isolated vertical tails with arbitrary aspect ratio, taper ratio, and sweepback performing the motions constant sideslip, steady rolling, steady yawing, and constant lateral acceleration. The range of Mach number considered corresponds, in general, to the condition that the tail leading and trailing edges are supersonic. To supplement the analytical results, design-type charts are presented which enable rapid estimation of the forces and moments (expressed as stability derivatives) for given combinations of geometry parameters and Mach number.

Design of A Transition-Edge-Sensor-Based Thermal Stabilization Stage
Electrothermal feedback in a transition edge sensor suppresses thermal fluctuations in the TES and regions in close thermal contact. We designed a heavily-metallized, leg-isolated membrane with a TES which serves as a thermal stabilization stage that can be lithographically integrated with other devices. Through modeling, fabrication and test of prototype devices, we examine whether the noise reduction in this stage can reduce thermal fluctuations (e.g. 1/f noise) in the other components by providing a more stable base temperature. In one implementation, a leg-isolated TES bolometer of higher superconducting transition temperature (Tc) is encircled by a second membrane region which is metallized and thermally stabilized by a second, lower-Tc TES. We present fabrication results on the dual-Tc design and testing of the simultaneous biasing of a two-stage, two-TES device. We explore varied heat capacity of the thermally stabilized stage in the single pixel design. We also present other designs to evaluate the use of an outer thermal stabilization stage for multiple pixel arrangements.

More Macrospicule Jets in On-Disk Coronal Holes
We examine the magnetic structure and dynamics of multiple jets found in coronal holes close to or on disk center. All data are from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) of the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). We report on observations of about ten jets in an equatorial coronal hole spanning 2011 February 27 and 28. We show the evolution of these jets in AIA 193 A, examine the magnetic field configuration and flux changes in the jet area, and discuss the probable trigger mechanism of these events. We reported on another jet in this same coronal hole on 2011 February 27, (is) approximately 13:04 UT (Adams et al 2014, ApJ, 783: 11). That jet is a previously-unrecognized variety of blowout jet, in which the base-edge bright point is a miniature filament-eruption flare arcade made by internal reconnection of the legs of the erupting field. In contrast, in the presently-accepted 'standard' picture for blowout jets, the base-edge bright point is made by interchange reconnection of initially-closed erupting jet-base field with ambient open field. This poster presents further evidence of the production of the base-edge bright point in blowout jets by internal reconnection. Our observations suggest that most of the bigger and brighter EUV jets in coronal holes are blowout jets of the new-found variety.

An identity privacy scheme for blockchain‐based on edge computing
Abstract Blockchain has decentralization characteristics and requires more targeted security schemes to protect user privacy. In contrast, existing signature schemes have many high‐complexity operations and impose an enormous computational burden on wireless nodes. This article proposes a light‐weighted identity privacy scheme for blockchain‐based on edge computing. We construct linkable identity privacy and non‐linkable identity privacy, which can resist collusion attacks while virtually guaranteeing blockchain nodes' identity privacy. Since edge computing offloads heavily, the proposed scheme has lower computational complexity than the existing techniques.

Ultrasensitive Superconducting Transition Edge Sensors Based On Electron-Phonon Decoupling
We have successfully fabricated the superconducting transition edge sensor (TES), bolometer technology that centers on the use of electron-phonon decoupling (EPD) to thermally isolate the bolometer. Along with material characterization for large format antenna coupled bolometer arrays, we present the initial test results of bolometer based on EPD designed for THz detection. We have selected a design approach that separates the two functions of photon absorption and temperature measurement, allowing separate optimization of the performance of each element. We have integrated Molybdenum/Gold (Mo/Au) bilayer TES and ion assisted thermally evaporated (IAE) Bismuth (Bi) films as radiation absorber coupled to a low-loss microstripline from Niobium (Nb) ground plane to a twin-slot antenna structure. The thermal conductance and the time constant of these devices have been measured, and are consistent with our calculations. The device exhibits a single time constant at 0.1 K of approx.160 IlS, which is compatible with readout by a high-bandwidth single SQUID or a time domain SQUID multiplexer. The effects of thermal conductance and electrothermal feedback are major determinants of the time constant, but the electronic heat capacity also plays a major role. The NEP achieved in the device described above is 2.5x10(exp -17)W(gamma)Hz. Our plan is to demonstrate a reduction of the volume in the superconducting element to 5 microns x 5 microns in films of half the thickness at Tc = 60mK. By calculation, this new geometry corresponds to an NEP reduction of two orders of magnitude to 2.5x10(exp -19)W/(gamma)Hz, with a time constant of ~130/ls.

Development of Superconducting Transition Edge Sensors Based on Electron-Phonon Decoupling
We have successfully fabricated a superconducting transition edge sensor (TES), bolometer that centers on the use of electron-phonon decoupling (EPD) for thermal isolation. We have selected a design approach that separates the two functions of far-infrared and THz radiative power absorption and temperature measurement, allowing separate optimization of the performance of each element. We have integrated molybdenum/gold (Mo/Au) bilayer TES and ion assisted thermally evaporated (IAE) bismuth (Bi) films as radiation absorber coupled to a low-loss microstripline from niobium (Nb) ground plane to a twin-slot antenna structure. The thermal conductance (G) and the time constant for the different geometry device have been measured. For one such device, the measured G is 1.16 x 10(exp -10) W/K (plus or minus 0.61 x 10(exp- 10) W/K) at 60 mK, which corresponds to noise equivalent power (NEP) = 1.65 X 10(exp -18)W/vHz and time constant of approximately 5 microseconds.

A finite element boundary integral formulation for radiation and scattering by cavity antennas using tetrahedral elements
A hybrid finite element boundary integral formulation is developed using tetrahedral and/or triangular elements for discretizing the cavity and/or aperture of microstrip antenna arrays. The tetrahedral elements with edge based linear expansion functions are chosen for modeling the volume region and triangular elements are used for discretizing the aperture. The edge based expansion functions are divergenceless thus removing the requirement to introduce a penalty term and the tetrahedral elements permit greater geometrical adaptability than the rectangular bricks. The underlying theory and resulting expressions are discussed in detail together with some numerical scattering examples for comparison and demonstration.
