Abstract: A broadband radio frequency signal optical fiber phase-stable transmission system includes a local end and a remote end connected by a dispersion compensation module and an optical fiber. The local end modulates a first auxiliary signal whose frequency is half of the frequency of the to-be-transmitted signal and a second auxiliary signal whose frequency is 1.5 times the frequency of the to-be-transmitted signal through the optical carrier and filters out a lower sideband to obtain an optical signal containing only the optical carrier, a first signal, and a second signal corresponds to the optical signal of the first-order upper sideband. The optical signal is transmitted to the remote end through the dispersion compensation module and the optical fiber.

Abstract: A high-duty-cycle liquid chromatography system that includes two or more columns that are configured to alternatingly be in a productive phase or a regeneration phase, wherein simultaneously one of the columns is in a productive phase and the other columns are in the regeneration phase. Additionally, the system includes a mobile phase gradient delivery pump, an isocratic pump, two or more gradient storage chambers, and two or more valves that are each independently coupled to a column and a gradient storage chamber. The column in the productive phase has a solution containing a sample which is pushed through the column, collected at a detector, and analyzed. The column in the regeneration phase is being prepared for the next productive phase.

Abstract: Smart in-vehicle decision support system has been developed to address current challenges and offers a new approach to make right stop/go decisions for vehicles to drive through a signalized intersection. The methods and systems described herein exploit a novel conceptualization of the decision support problem as an integration process, where a decision support model takes advantages of vehicle-to-infrastructure communications and fuses the inputs from vehicles and intersection, which comprise key information of vehicle motion, vehicle-driver characteristics, signal phase and timing, intersection geometry and topology, and the definitions of red-light running, to explore a more complete variable space of physical and behavioral information and provide safer and more efficient decision supports to vehicles driving through a signalized intersection than the previous methods and systems.
