In this paper, the problems of redundant traffic and redundant replicas tor efficient object replication in P2P overlay are studies. Firstly, a hierarchical and topology-aware P2P overlay is developed with κ-Medoids partition algorithm to achieve the minimal physical distance of all super peer pairs. Secondly, a new idea of placing at most one replica in a cluster of physically adjacent nodes is introduced to achieve scattered distribution of replicas. Lastly, an efficient replicas-query algorithm based on multiple hash functions is proposed. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiment on several performance metrics are given, and it is verified that the method in this paper can efficiently disseminate replicas across the network, increase query-hit ratio, and decrease redundant messages and storage spaces required.
Sensing structure of grid strip capacitors can be used in the design of capacitive micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) resonators, accelerometers etc. A grid strip structure consists of nonentirely overlap plates so that the capacitor fringe effect cannot be neglected in the design. Electricmagnetic Finite Element Method (FEM) software ANSOFF-Maxwell is employed to analyze the fringe effect of a grid strip capacitor. The analysis includes capacitance changes with change of overlap length, overlap width, plate thickness, grid strip density etc. The results show that fringe effect leads to non-linear change of grid strip capacitance with the change of overlap length and width, that the capacitance increases with the increase of grid strip width and plate thickness, and that sensitivity can be improved through the increase of grid strip density in the condition of identical total overlap area, but linearity is reduced.
