Source text - Chinese 摘要：在使用温度脉动仪测量温度结构常数时，平均时间长度的选择会影响其测量结果。通过实际测量数据的分析和讨论，确定平均时间应该为l0s左右，以得到真实可靠的结构常数。由于温度脉动仪在测量时会受到各种因素的影响，为了筛选掉不可靠的测量结果．提出了一种用温度脉动原始数据来对测量结果进行筛选的方法。该方法首先排除了实验纪录中的错误测量数据．其次对于异常的实验数据，如某一层结构常数数据的异常偏大或偏小，需要根据双点温差原始数据的频谱分析来确认数据是否正常，以进一步排除异常的测量结果．尽可能保证用以统计分析的数据真实可靠。
Translation - English Abstract: While measuring temperature structure constants with a micro temperature sensor, choice on the length of mean time can affect measurement results. By analyzing and discussing data from actual measurement, the mean time can be decided to be about 10 seconds, and real and reliable structure constants can be drawn based on it. Since a micro temperature sensor is often affected by various factors at the time of measurement, to filter out unreliable measurement results, a method to filter measured results with the raw data on temperature fluctuation is introduced. The method first eliminates error measurement data from experimental records, then abnormal experimental data, such as abnormally larger or smaller structure constant data at some layer, should be analyzed to decide if it is normal or not based on frequency spectrum analysis on the raw data on double-spot temperature difference, so as to further eliminate abnormal measurement results and make sure the data for statistic analysis is true and reliable whenever possible.
While laser transfers in the atmosphere, there are rises and falls in refractive index caused by atmospheric turbulence, which may further produces effects such as light wave shaking or glimmering, thus laser coherence will be destroyed. The status of the atmosphere, especially the status on atmospheric optical turbulence, should be understood in order to study these effects. Cn2, the refractive index structure constant, is usually a key parameter in describing the intensity for atmospheric optical turbulence.

Translation - English 1. Unwinding Structure (with Automatic Deviation-Correcting Device):
This equipment consists of a pneumatic clutch, an unwinding shaft with tension control and an automatic deviation-correcting system. The coiled material is pulled out from the guide roller, and enters the floating tension roller device after automatic deviation-correction. The device will pass tension changes in the mid of running by sensing signal to the tension controller. The controller will then control the air operated valve to adjust the air pressure in the pneumatic tension brake of the unwinding shaft. Thus constant tension can be realized.
2. Coating Floating Roller Tension Structure:
The structure consists of a roller, a low-friction air cylinder, a robotic arm, position sensors, and weight rollers. The floating roller tension system attracts and stores amplitude fluctuation caused by amplitude acceleration, deceleration, instant changes caused by starting shaft during unwinding as well as coating intermission, so its influence on coating can be minimized. The floating roller is loaded by the low-friction air cylinder installed on the robotic arm. It can adjust tension of the substrate by increasing or decreasing the load from the floating roller, so it can keep constant tension on the substrate during the coating procedure, and keep the synchronization in the speed of unwinding and the speed of coating.

System 800xA provides the possibility to communicate with field devices from the device spectrum of:
• PROFIBUS DP/PA
• HART
• FOUNDATION Fieldbus HSE/H1
PROFIBUS is a standardized, open, digital communication system for all areas of application in manufacturing and process automation. The PROFIBUS Protocol is based in the international standards EN 50170 and IEC 61158. This technology is suitable for replacement of discrete and analog signals. PROFIBUS PA was explicitly specified for process automation.
A PROFIBUS network is linked with an AC 800M controller of an 800xA system via an optionally redundant PROFIBUS communication interface module CI854.
HART is a communication technology based on the conventional analog data technology 4...20 mA. HART defines the communication protocol between intelligent digital field devices and a control system.
HART field devices are connected to System 800xA via S800 and S900 remote I/O modules and AC 800M local I/O modules.
FOUNDATION Fieldbus (FF) is a fieldbus protocol based on international standards and designed for applications in the manufacturing industry, process automation and buildings automation. The guidelines for this fieldbus standard are published by the Fieldbus Foundation.
FF defines two communication profiles, H1 and HSE. The H1 profile is preferably used for direct communication between field devices in one link (H1 link). The HSE profile, which is based on standard Ethernet, serves first and foremost as a powerful backbone for the connection between H1 links, connected via FF linking devices.

Source text - English Economy Grows Nearly 1% in Europe
With France and Germany leading the way, the economy in the 12 nations that use the Euro currency grew at its fastest quarterly rate since 2000, a development that is expected to fortify the resolve of the European Central Bank to raise interest rates again this year.
The gross domestic product of the nations grew 0.9 percent from April to June compared with the previous quarter, Eurostat, the statistics agency of the European Union, reported Monday. Growth has recently mostly reflected strong exports, but the latest figure received a lift from business investment and consumers whose reluctance to spend has been the hallmark of the slow recovery.
The German economy, where households have been the most tightfisted, also grew 0.9 percent.
“Domestic demand is doing its job, finally,” said Erik Nielsen, chief Europe economist with Goldman Sachs. “We finally have a little drive from something other than exports, which is good.”
The data broadly confirmed figures released by various countries over much of the last week, most recently France on Friday. Though overall growth is accelerating in the Euro region, it is uneven, with France growing at a rate of 1.1 percent to 1.2 percent in the quarter, and Italy lagging at 0.5 percent.
The precise details of the growth pattern are not yet available, but economists said that data on retail sales in Germany points toward strong consumption, as does a fall in unemployment. Business confidence surveys, though they have come off their peaks of earlier this year, are still in line with strong growth.
“The situation on the labor market has noticeably improved,” said Michael Glos, the German economics minister. “Therefore, the prospects for the year are exceptionally positive.”
The European Commission on Monday raised its estimate for growth in the third quarter to 0.5 percent to 0.9 percent, slightly higher than it projected in July.
But the commission cut its forecast to a range of 0.4 percent to 0.9 percent for the fourth quarter, a period when many economists said they expected the softening economy in the United States to drag on European growth.
English to Chinese: Aortic Surgery 主动脉手术 General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical: Cardiology
Source text - English Among all surgical procedures, morbidity associated with surgery of the thoracic aorta is among the highest, with complication rates of up to 30% to 40%.
Although virtually every organ system is at risk during aortic surgery, the brain and the spinal cord are particularly vulnerable because of their low tolerance for ischemia.
This is particularly significant, as injury to the nervous system may result in remarkable long-term morbidity.
Over the past 50 years, many advances have helped reduce the morbidity of thoracic aortic surgery; among these is neurophysiologic intraoperative monitoring (NIOM).
NIOM has been used increasingly in thoracic aortic surgery in an attempt to decrease neurologic morbidity.
Surgery on the ascending aorta and aortic arch frequently involves temporary suspension of blood flow in the cerebral vessels, whereas descending aortic surgery may be complicated by ischemia of not only the spinal cord but also the brain.
Consequently, NIOM may be useful during all types of thoracic aortic surgery.
However, since different parts of the nervous system are at risk with different procedures, it is important to understand aortic anatomy as well as the procedure being performed in order to design the most appropriate NIOM paradigm.
In this chapter, after a short overview of relevant anatomy, a brief description of the common thoracic aortic diseases and their surgical treatment is presented.
Thereafter, various NIOM modalities commonly used during thoracic aortic surgery are discussed, followed by a review of available data regarding their utility.
CLINICAL ANATOMY
The aorta arises from the left ventricular outflow tract at the level of the aortic annulus and terminates where it divides into two common iliac arteries in the pelvis.
The initial part of the aorta, called the aortic root, contains the aortic annulus and valve leaflets, the sinuses of Valsalva and the origins of the left and right coronary arteries.
Contiguous to the aortic root is the tubular ascending aorta, which begins at the sinotubular junction and ascends posterolaterally, forming the aortic arch.
From right to left, the brachiocephalic (innominate), left common carotid and left subclavian arteries arise directly from the arch.
The brachiocephalic artery ascends and divides into the right common carotid and right subclavian arteries.
Numerous anatomic variations of arch anatomy exist, the most common of which are the innominate and left common carotid arteries arising from a common trunk (so-called bovine arch variant), the left vertebral artery arising directly from the aortic arch (rather than the left subclavian artery) and an aberrant right subclavian artery arising from the distal arch beyond the origin of the left subclavian artery and passing from left to right through the posterior mediastinum behind the esophagus.
These anatomic variations may have clinical implications for cerebral protection during aortic arch surgery as discussed later in the chapter.
Distal to the left subclavian artery, the aorta progresses inferiorly to form the descending thoracic aorta.
Once the descending thoracic aorta passes through the aortic hiatus in the diaphragm, it becomes the abdominal aorta.
Together the thoracic and abdominal aortas are called the thoracoabdominal aorta.
From the descending thoracic aorta arise esophageal, bronchial and intercostal arteries.
From the intercostal arteries arise radicular arteries that supply blood to the spinal cord.
They are discussed later in relation to the blood supply of the spinal cord.
The most important of the radicular arteries is the arteria radicularis magna (ARM), also known as the artery of Adamkiewicz.
The ARM usually arises from a left-sided intercostal artery between the T8 and L2 levels and is responsible for supplying the lower part of the anterior spinal cord (see later).
However, the existence of the ARM has been questioned, and it has been suggested that spinal cord perfusion is supported by an extensive collateral network rather than a single prominent branch of the descending thoracic aorta (1).

I have placed most important information I guess you may want to know in this "About me" section. A more detailed CV (actually my service book) is available for logged-in users.
Some samples can be found in the Portfolio section of this profile (last updated in January 2009). Some more samples from English to Simplified Chinese and from English to Traditional Chinese are available upon request.
Contact
You can contact me with a method after "Contact:" at the head of this page, or just send an email to:
lbtranslation at 126 dot com AND mailhxh at aliyun dot com
Old clients, if you can speak clear English or Chinese, can also try to call me in emergent situation with the cell phone number you can get in my early emails or CV (but not at late night in Beijing time).
