With the increasingly diverse functional requirements of contemporary electronic products, the complexity of CMOS circuits often used in chips becomes higher and the number of transistors used increases. To solve the resulting performance problems of CMOS circuits, researchers have searched for many transistor sizing technologies. This paper summarizes three methods of CMOS circuit optimization. The paper introduces these three methods in terms of principle, effect, and application scenarios, and compares them respectively. Through analysis and simulation, it can be found that the use of these methods in circuit design can effectively achieve the purpose of improving speed, reducing power consumption, and improving the overall performance of the circuit. This lays a solid foundation for finally being able to present a good product with excellent performance and enhance the market competitiveness of the product. CMOS circuits are widely used, and circuit optimization is of great importance to the overall circuit design, and better optimization methods can even promote the development of the entire electronics and chip manufacturing fields.
In recent years, as the rapid advancement of the electronic industry and the higher requirements for instruments and circuits, the absolute value circuit has found an increasingly wide utilization in digital signal processing. An absolute value detector is one of the most widely used algorithms used for detecting spikes. Based on traditional designs of absolute value circuits, many optimized designs with better performance have been proposed. Based on previous analysis and research, absolute value circuits can be optimized into different sructures to meet different application requirements. This paper introduces three different absolute value circuits for different uses in digital signal processing by comparing the optimized parts to traditional absolute value circuits and introducing how the optimization can meet the needs of different applications. These optimized absolute value circuit meet the requirements of higher precision and more stable temperature in biological signal processing field, more convenient to apply in the analog-to-digital conversion in ADC field and minimization the latency energy in chip signal processing field. Absolute value circuits can be optimized in different ways to be applied in more fields in the future.
With the continuous development and improvement of sensors, sensor technology is also constantly making breakthroughs. It is also widely used in various fields of medicine today. This article summarizes the practice of two types of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) in medicine. The detection and matching of human luminal feature points under SLAM were studied so as to reconstruct the human internal environment so that doctors can obtain three-dimensional reconstruction feedback within the surgical range and improve the safety of surgery. And for different surgical environments, the same SLAM is improved on the basis of innovation, which is more suitable for different scenarios. Three algorithms are described in this article for taking images of the inside of the abdominal cavity and collecting data based on the images using different algorithms. Based on the collected data, the internal abdominal cavity is reconstructed in 3D. Finally, a three-dimensional visualization system for the abdominal cavity was constructed. It has important research significance in the field of medical auxiliary research.

The application of SLAM in the medical field is then discussed, specifically highlighting real-time localization and reconstruction of endoscopic imaging. The integration of SLAM technology can assist doctors in accurately identifying the site of lesions, thereby enhancing surgical precision and safety. Furthermore, the paper introduces various commonly used SLAM algorithms, including the Kalman filter, extended Kalman filter, particle filter, optimization algorithms, among others. It emphasizes the significance of algorithm selection and optimization tailored to different scenarios and requirements. In conclusion, the application of SLAM technology in medical endoscopy imaging holds immense potential, offering improved accuracy and visualization during surgical procedures. This technology provides valuable support for doctors in diagnosis and treatment, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology has many applications, such as intelligent robots, autonomous driving, and smart cities. It is a key technology for achieving autonomous robot navigation and environmental awareness. Robots need to perceive the surrounding environment in real-time and construct maps while conducting autonomous localization and path planning, which involves algorithms of SLAM technology. This article aims to introduce the research on visual SLAM algorithms in dynamic scenes. This article will first introduce the traditional SLAM algorithm, its research status, and its limitations. Next, introduce the research on the visual SLAM algorithm in dynamic scenes. Finally, the current visual SLAM algorithm's problems and future research directions were discussed.

Due to developments in surgery, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become a common choice for surgical patients. Because of the small surgical incision in MIS, its postoperative effects will be less fat liquefaction, infection, splitting, numbness of the incision and weakness of the healing abdominal wall muscles compared to traditional surgery. However, many bottlenecks have been encountered in MIS, such as uneven illumination affecting the recognition of organ images. In other words, such problems are about improving the ability of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) to extract information about the environment. This paper summarises some relevant research on SLAM improvement methods. Scientists are now looking for more suitable methods for constructing maps of the human internal environment, including improvements on existing SLAM techniques. In the context of SLAM, what SLAM is and the history of SLAM is described. Traditional SLAM methods as well as SLAM improvement methods are also mentioned. Finally, its advantages and disadvantages are discussed, and its prospects are predicted.
EKF (Extended Kalman Filter) is a non-linear state estimation algorithm based on the development of Kalman filtering technology. In SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), EKF technology is widely used to realize robots' independent positioning and map construction. EKF technology mainly estimates the state of the robot by using the information provided by the sensor, and then realizes the robot's self-positioning and the environment's map. This paper uses EKF algorithm for testing, and analyses the simulation results, which compared with Kalman filtering technology, the main difference between the two is that EKF can handle non -linear dynamic systems. In SLAM, robots often detect environmental detection through sensors such as laser radar, camera, and then update the position and posture of the robot by the receiving sensor data. In this process, the EKF technology can perform non -linearity by sensor data by sensor data Transformation makes the state of the robot more accurately estimate. Specifically, Extended Kalman Filtering technology can be divided into two steps: prediction and update. In the predicted phase, EKF uses the current robotic status and motion equation to predict the robot status of the next moment; in the update stage, EKF uses sensors to measure data to update the current state of the robot. By repeating the prediction and updating two steps, you can get the trajectory of the robot movement and the map of the environment where the robot is located.

SLAM is a technology used to manufacture mobile robots and autonomous vehicle. It can achieve autonomous localization and mapping in unknown environments. In dealing with complex indoor environments, SLAM technology faces many challenges, such as missing local perspectives, detecting moving objects, constructing dense maps, and real-time requirements in large-scale environments. However, with the development of technology, more and more SLAM technologies are being applied to complex indoor environments, among which the fusion of multimodal vision and deep learning technology, enhanced camera positioning technology, and navigation algorithms based on intelligent platforms are currently relatively advanced technologies. This article will briefly introduce the main development process of SLAM technology in dealing with complex indoor environments and the application of deep learning technology. By utilizing this technology, map features can be extracted more accurately, objects can be recognized, and obstacle avoidance can be achieved. This provides a good development direction for SLAM technology.

As a combination of modern imaging technology, stereotactic technology, computer technology, and artificial intelligence technology, the surgical navigation system has been rapidly developed and applied in recent years. In recent decades, navigation systems have been used to aid in maxillofacial surgery, but rarely in the oral area. By comparing the applications of navigation systems in oral and maxillofacial surgery, we summarize their advantages and problems and list the advantages and disadvantages of the development process and methods of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(SLAM). We propose to use tooth contours as natural markers to construct a model of AR oral structure, subtracting the operational time problems caused by making and using artificial markers. The AR structure model of the oral cavity was constructed, the method of applying SLAM technology to the oral surgery was proposed reasonably, and the method optimization scheme was proposed for the more complicated oral root canal surgery.
Gastrointestinal diseases are a relatively common disease, and the advent of endoscopic technology is important for the early detection and treatment of this disease.

Minimal invasive surgery (MIS) is the mainstream trend in developing surgical technology. As the endoscope is a significant tool in the surgical process, whether it can track the inner cavity and realize accurate real-time 3D reconstruction has a vital impact on the smooth progress of MIS. However, there are still problems in the endoscopic environment, such as severe image distortion, the effect of lighting conditions, and the inability to extract lumen textures. Orinted fast and rotated brief simultaneous localization and mapping (ORB-SLAM) is currently a relatively advanced simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) method with better performance. The ORB-SLAM-based endoscope 3D reconstruction method can improve performance and overcome the challenge of endoscope 3D reconstruction. This paper will first introduce several existing endoscope 3D reconstruction methods based on ORB-SLAM and analyze the limitations and issues of these methods through their experimental results. Then the paper will explore the solutions to the defects in this method from other methods and compare the characteristics and the result of experiments. Secondly, through the summary of the above methods and the introduction of the integration of the ORB-SLAM-based methods and other current advanced technologies, the future development trend and huge development potential of ORB-SLAM-based endoscopic 3D reconstruction are introduced. This paper will be of profound affection to further improve the optimization and application of the ORB-SLAM-based endoscope 3D reconstruction method.
Wireless communication technology's quick advancement has facilitated the ongoing formation of numerous new communication business scenarios and the thorough connectivity of man-machine-object-space. The conflict between few channel resources and high demand is becoming more and more obvious, which adds to the stress on the entire network. In order to enhance communication quality with constrained frequency resources, more optimal channel allocation techniques are urgently required. This paper discusses the increasing demand for frequency resources due to the exponential growth of data traffic, which has necessitated more efficient channel allocation methods to optimize communication quality with limited frequency resources. The evolution of mobile wireless cellular communication systems from the first generation to the current fifth generation, and the imminent emergence of the sixth generation, are also discussed. The paper highlights the importance of ultra-dense networks and device-to-device communication in meeting the capacity and coverage requirements of 5G networks. The advantages and disadvantages of different frequency reuse methods, specifically Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) and water injection algorithm, are analyzed. The paper summarizes these methods' principles and application effects in specific situations, emphasizing the need for appropriate frequency reuse methods to achieve optimal channel allocation and communication quality.
In the 5G era, satellite communication has been widely applied in more scenarios. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has been adopted to the 3GPP standard and is the primary sync encoding method for satellite communication. However, the OFDM-based system is extremely susceptible to carrier frequency offset (CFO), and Doppler shift make a major impact on the CFO. Therefore, the traditional methods of synchronization based on OFDM cannot meet the requirement of satellite communication with large frequency offset and delay. There are many studies focus on improving the methods of CFO estimation and compensation to adapt the technologies of synchronization based on OFDM to the satellite communication system. In this paper, ZC based and matrix-vector multiplication method, multi-symbol merging method and preamble and PSS symbols based and filter frequency locked loop-based method of synchronization of OFDM-based satellite communication will be introduced. The accuracy and complexity of these methods both meet the requirement of 5G satellite communication system. Future researchers may focus on reducing complexity and expanding application scenarios.

The last decade has seen breakthroughs in communication technology. The increasingly complex signal transmission environment has placed higher demands on signal modulation recognition. Traditional modulation recognition approaches cannot guarantee satisfactory recognition accuracy. Fortunately, with the continuous advancement of deep learning algorithms, convolutional neural network-based communication signal modulation recognition techniques have become the mainstream of current research. Therefore, this paper first reviews the development history of signal modulation recognition techniques and introduces the concepts of signal modulation theory. It includes ASK, PSK and FSK modulation methods, which are common today. Subsequently, I analyze the principles of signal modulation recognition and the implementation method of CNN in modulation recognition. To further explore the shortcomings of CNNs, I propose two optimized models, the residual network model and the CLDNN model. After comparing the performance, the former has higher performance, but its computational complexity is higher while the latter takes into account the high recognition accuracy while still reducing the network parameters as much as possible to keep the complexity at a low level.

Unsteady flow is the dominant flow state in real life; thus, the simulation of it is of vital importance, especially in engineering, for example, the flutter or buffeting of the aerofoil. In the past decades, the progress in computational science greatly paced the development of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), providing powerful tools for simulating unsteady flow via numerical methods. However, the unsteady flow state depends on more variables than a steady flow, including the external conditions in different time moments and the flow's properties that vary with time. The calculation is still too massive, even using CFD. Therefore, CFD algorithms with higher efficiency and less reduction in accuracy are still needed to optimize the technique. This paper reviews the main CFD computational methods that have been maturely developed and proven effective, including direct numerical simulation (DNS), classic turbulence models and reduced order model (ROM), illustrating the main mechanisms and displaying their features. The paper also sheds light on these methods' latest research progress.
