Estimating the threshold value of the microswitch is fundamental and important to many acceleration monitor systems. In this paper, we present a novel analysis of the dynamic behavior of the liquid metal droplet anchoring and bursting at the capillary burst valve in a microchannel. The number and configuration of intersecting lines play an important role in building the barrier pressure to balance the acceleration. Several design schemes of threshold microswitches based on liquid metal droplets that rely on the action of the intersecting lines were provided. This paper not only provides a novel dynamic insight for the establishment of barrier pressure for the capillary burst valve, but also offers a perspective into the design of the liquid metal droplet microswitch.

For low-illumination video sequences, some existing enhancement algorithms have some problems, such as image over-enhancement, color distortion, and inadequate detail processing. Based on luminance detection, we add logarithmic tone mapping to optimize the existing algorithms. The color space of low-illumination video image is converted from the red, green, blue mode to the hue-saturation-intensity mode, and then, logarithmic tone enhancement is applied to the image. Algorithm in this study has an obvious effect on image luminance enhancement and details processing, which makes the low-illumination video show a clear image with more natural visual effect, thus improving the quality of low-illumination video. This algorithm can avoid the problems of overexposure, color distortion, and blurring of detail processing under low illumination. The infrared spectrum of the object can be captured by infrared detection equipment, and the purpose of image enhancement can be achieved by applying the infrared spectrum of the object.

A distributed arithmetic coding algorithm based on source symbol purging and using the context model is proposed to solve the asymmetric Slepian–Wolf problem. The proposed scheme is to make better use of both the correlation between adjacent symbols in the source sequence and the correlation between the corresponding symbols of the source and the side information sequences to improve the coding performance of the source. Since the encoder purges a part of symbols from the source sequence, a shorter codeword length can be obtained. Those purged symbols are still used as the context of the subsequent symbols to be encoded. An improved calculation method for the posterior probability is also proposed based on the purging feature, such that the decoder can utilize the correlation within the source sequence to improve the decoding performance. In addition, this scheme achieves better error performance at the decoder by adding a forbidden symbol in the encoding process. The simulation results show that the encoding complexity and the minimum code rate required for lossless decoding are lower than that of the traditional distributed arithmetic coding. When the internal correlation strength of the source is strong, compared with other DSC schemes, the proposed scheme exhibits a better decoding performance under the same code rate.
