Abstract In this paper, a kind of wall fabric’s surface treatment agent modified with nonionic surfactant was reported. This surface treatment agent was prepared by using nano tourmaline powder dispersion in water with surfactant as dispersants by sand milling. Under the influence of different dispersants, the negative ions releasing amount of functional wall fabrics, the milling process and the storage stability of nano tourmaline powder dispersion were discussed. The results showed that nano tourmaline powder dispersion achieved the smallest average diameter of 44 nm and had best storage stability that the average diameter maintained below 200 nm in 17 days when… More >

Abstract This paper proposes a lossless and high payload data hiding scheme for JPEG images by histogram modification. The most in JPEG bitstream consists of a sequence of VLCs (variable length codes) and the appended bits. Each VLC has a corresponding RLV (run/length value) to record the AC/DC coefficients. To achieve lossless data hiding with high payload, we shift the histogram of VLCs and modify the DHT segment to embed data. Since we sort the histogram of VLCs in descending order, the filesize expansion is limited. The paper’s key contribution includes: Lossless data hiding, less filesize expansion in identical pay-load and… More >
