Chip‐Based Microwave‐Photonic Radar for High‐Resolution Imaging

AbstractRadar is the only sensor that can realize target imaging at all time and all weather, which would be a key technical enabler for future intelligent society. Poor resolution and large size are the two critical issues for radar to gain ground in civil applications. Conventional electronic radars are difficult to address due to both issues, especially in the Ka band or lower. In this work, a chip‐based microwave‐photonic radar based on silicon photonic platform, which can implement high‐resolution imaging with very small footprint, is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Both the wideband signal generator and the de‐chirp receiver are integrated on the chip. A broadband microwave‐photonic imaging radar occupying the full Ku band is experimentally established. A high‐precision range measurement with a resolution of 2.7 cm and an error of less than 2.75 mm is obtained. Inverse synthetic aperture imaging of multiple targets with complex profiles is also implemented.

On‐wafer thermomechanical characterization of a thin film polyimide formed by vapor deposition polymerization for through‐silicon via applications: Comparison to plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition SiO2

AbstractThin‐film polyimides were prepared by solvent‐less vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) from pyromellitic dianhydride and 4,4′‐oxydianiline at 200 °C for liner dielectric formation of vertical interconnects called through‐silicon vias (TSVs) used in three‐dimensionally stacked integrated circuit (3DICs). FTIR, synchrotron XPS, and TDS were employed for determining the imidization ratio, and in addition, the mechanical properties, coefficient of thermal expansion and Young's modulus, of the VDP polyimide were characterized on Si wafers. The VDP polyimide exhibited extremely high conformality, beyond 75%, toward high‐aspect‐ratio deep Si holes, compared with conventional SiO2 prepared by plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The adhesion between the VDP polyimide and Si wafer was enhanced by an Al‐chelate promotor. Remarkably, the VDP polyimide TSV liner dielectrics showed much less thermomechanical stresses applied to the Si surrounding the TSVs than the plasma‐chemical vapor deposition SiO2. The small keep‐out zone is expected for scaling down highly reliable 3DICs for the upcoming real artificial intelligence society.

Dynamic resource provisioning for cyber-physical systems in cloud-fog-edge computing

Cyber-Physical Systems(CPS) serves as an interdisciplinary effort that incorporates cyber vector as well as physical vector. The latter can generate exponentially growing amounts of data. How to process CPS big data systematically and efficiently is the key to the breakthrough of offering prospective and personalized services for each individual user and entity involved. In recent years, much research has been proactively conducted on advancing specific scenario or algorithm. However, few surveys value their integration. For good measure, the synthesis remains a fundamental challenge. Subsequently, we fill the gap in the literature by constructing cloud computing, fog computing and edge computing as a whole to inspire on new architectures and cross utilizations. Moreover, bringing the enthusiasm of traditionally solitude entities into play is crucial. In this exploratory study, we examine definitions of CPS as well as the three aforementioned computing paradigms and then shed new light on comprehensively established frameworks. We also survey on the application level of Cloud-Fog-Edge Computing in CPS respectively and dive into diversified algorithms and strategies to embed big data applications into a more intelligent and convenient society with current deficiencies and future research directions followed.

Human survival experiences and feelings may be confronted with many psychological troubles and other more serious problems. Therefore, this paper studies the positive and negative effects of the future intelligent society and puts forward reasonable countermeasures to eliminate the possible disorder and crime in the intelligent society from the perspective of morality and the rule of law.

The Impact of Intelligent Society on Human Essence and the New Evolution of Humans

When we enter intelligent society, we need to rethink about the topic of human essence. As we know, human beings have no absolute, fixed essence. The essence of human beings is the combination of an innate substrate and acquired creation. As the degree of machine intelligence in the development of human society continues to increase, human beings are constantly changing and creating their own essence, and they are also constantly liberated from the bondage of a certain single old essence, creating and enriching the richer and more diverse aspects of its essence. The transformation of labor from its alienation to its return is also a transformation of labor from the centralized form to the non-centralized form of human essence according to Karl Marx. The new fusion of artificial intelligence and bioengineering will lead to a new track of evolution that “reshapes and regenerates” life itself. This new evolutionary path will fuse the two-track evolution, biological evolution and cultural evolution, which have been relatively isolated in the traditional sense. If human beings are able to work hard together to design and implement a new social system that adapts to the future intelligent development, then the comprehensive development of intelligence that human beings bring about would be not a disaster, but a bright future.

Microwave Photonic Radars

As the only method for all-weather, all-time and long-distance target detection and recognition, radar has been intensively studied since it was invented, and is considered as an essential sensor for future intelligent society. In the past few decades, great efforts were devoted to improving radar's functionality, precision, and response time, of which the key is to generate, control and process a wideband signal with high speed. Thanks to the broad bandwidth, flat response, low loss transmission, multidimensional multiplexing, ultrafast analog signal processing and electromagnetic interference immunity provided by modern photonics, implementation of the radar in the optical domain can achieve better performance in terms of resolution, coverage, and speed which would be difficult (if not impossible) to implement using traditional, even state-of-the-art electronics. In this tutorial, we overview the distinct features of microwave photonics and some key microwave photonic technologies that are currently known to be attractive for radars. System architectures and their performance that may interest the radar society are emphasized. Emerging technologies in this area and possible future research directions are discussed.

The development of artificial intelligence and the response of labor policy

With the emergence of big data, information technology, digital technology and artificial intelligence, our society is making great strides towards an artificial intelligence society, and the foundation of economic society has undergone profound changes. Today’s labor policy must not only adapt to the needs of marketization, but also need to respond legally due to the development of science and technology. It should reasonably anticipate the changes in labor relations caused by artificial intelligence, including the norms of digital labor and the status of labor policy of intelligent robots. And the protection of social rights after the replacement of traditional labor. In the era of high-tech being widely used, the rapid development of modern artificial intelligence is gradually spreading from the field of science and technology to the life of the general public. This will have a subversive impact on labor relations. This is also the future of labor The amendment of the Law is an important factor that cannot be ignored.

Komunikasi Dakwah Kultural di Era Millennial

Cultural values in the community are gradually being replaced. Children more easily receive information provided by internet media. Right and wrong are still questions because what is received, read, seen and heard from various sources is unclear. Especially if it is associated with Islamic nuances, namely da'wah, it will be a great homework for da'wah interpreters to straighten the news or information that is often found in the community so that people start to be sheepfolded by hoax information that will obviously harm our society. Therefore, it is imperative that efforts be made to filter people out of false news and misleading behavior so that the community becomes an intelligent society, with morality, accompanied by local wisdom nuances that are still maintained as an adhesive between the relationship between the people in this millennial era.

Enhanced Velocity Differential Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization for Optimal Scheduling of a Distributed Energy Resources With Uncertain Scenarios

In the MicroGrid environment, the high penetration of uncertain energy sources such as solar Photovoltaics (PVs), Energy Storage Systems (ESSs), Demand Response (DR) programs, Vehicles to Grid (V2G or G2V) and Electricity Markets make the Energy Resource Management (ERM) problem highly complex. All such complexities should be addressed while maximizing income and minimizing the total operating costs of aggregators that accumulate all types of available energy resources from the MicroGrid system. Due to the presence of mixed-integer, discrete variables and non-linear network constraints, it is sometimes very difficult to solve such problem using traditional optimization methods. This paper proposes a new metaheuristic optimization technique entitled the “Enhanced Velocity Differential Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization” (EVDEPSO) algorithm to tackle the ERM problem. Its key feature is the updation of the Velocity by the terms named as Enhanced Velocity, Cooperation and Stochastic Uni-Random Distribution and position by the term Deceleration Factor. The performance of the proposed method is measured by a case study comprises of 100 scenarios of a 25-bus MicroGrid with high penetration of aforementioned energy sources. IEEE Computational Intelligence Society organized the competition on the above mentioned problem, in which EVDEPSO secured a second rank. The results of EVDEPSO are compared with the competition participated optimization algorithms. It also compared with well-known optimization algorithms such as Variable Neighborhood Search and Differential Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization. The comparison results show that the performance of EVDEPSO is superior in terms of the Ranking Index (R.I) and Average Ranking Index (A.R.I) as compared to the aforementioned algorithms. For effective comparative analysis of algorithms, standard statistical test named as One-Way ANOVA and Tukey Test is used. The results of this test also prove the effectiveness of EVDEPSO algorithm as compared to all tested algorithms.
