Wireless sensor networks which are based on distributed information processing technology are taking an increasingly key role in industrial digital twin scenarios. There are many important issues in the access of networks. One of the most important issues is how to improve network access control and the effectiveness of load balancing. Based on the industrial digital twin technology, this article first introduces several typical network access and network loads and performs tree-structured processing on the outliers generated during the chain formation process to reduce the length of the data transmission path, optimize the main chain head and subchain chain head selection strategy and chaining rules, and perform nonchain operations on common nodes and chain heads near sink to reduce data inverse transfer. The experimental results show that this paper uses the digital twin calculation formula to accurately and objectively determine the remaining cluster head and the distance head and the base station, so that when the node distance is limited, the network energy consumption can be balanced as much as possible, and the network load is promoted.

As multimedia technologies evolve, digital images have become increasingly prevalent across various fields, highlighting an urgent demand for robust image privacy and security mechanisms. However, existing image encryption algorithms (IEAs) still face limitations in balancing strong security, real-time performance, and computational efficiency. Therefore, we proposes a new IEA that integrates an improved chaotic map (Tent map), an improved Zigzag transform, and dynamic DNA coding. Firstly, a pseudo-wavelet transform (PWT) is applied to plain images to produce four sub-images I1, I2, I3, and I4. Secondly, the improved Zigzag transform and its three variants are used to rearrange the sub-image I1, and then the scrambled sub-image is diffused using XOR operation. Thirdly, an inverse pseudo-wavelet transform (IPWT) is employed on the four sub-images to reconstruct the image, and then the reconstructed image is encoded into a DNA sequence utilizing dynamic DNA encoding. Finally, the DNA sequence is scrambled and diffused employing DNA-level index scrambling and dynamic DNA operations. The experimental results and performance evaluations, including chaotic performance evaluation and comprehensive security analysis, demonstrate that our IEA achieves high key sensitivity, low correlation, excellent entropy, and strong resistance to common attacks. This highlights its potential for deployment in real-time, high-security image cryptosystems, especially in fields such as medical image security and social media privacy.

For the problems of unreasonable computation offloading and uneven resource allocation in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), this paper proposes a task offloading and resource allocation strategy based on deep learning for MEC. Firstly, in the multiuser multiserver MEC environment, a new objective function is designed by combining calculation model and communication model in the system, which can shorten the completion time of all computing tasks and minimize the energy consumption of all terminal devices under delay constraints. Then, based on the multiagent reinforcement learning system, system benefits and resource consumption are designed as rewards and losses in deep reinforcement learning. Dueling-DQN algorithm is used to solve the system problem model for obtaining resource allocation method with the highest reward. Finally, the experimental results show that when the learning rate is 0.001 and discount factor is 0.90, the performance of proposed strategy is the best. Furthermore, the proportions of reducing energy consumption and shortening completion time are 52.18% and 34.72%, respectively, which are better than other comparison strategies in terms of calculation amount and energy saving.

Accurate assessment of the aging state of transformer oil-barrier insulation is crucial for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of power systems. This study presents the development of indoor accelerated thermal aging experiments to simulate the degradation of oil-immersed barrier insulation within transformers. A series of samples reflecting various aging states was obtained and categorized into six distinct groups. Raman spectroscopy analytical technology was employed to characterize the information indicative of different aging states of the oil-immersed barrier insulation. The raw Raman spectra were processed using asymmetric reweighted penalty least squares to correct baseline shifts, Savitzky–Golay (S-G) smoothing to eliminate fluctuation noise, and principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce data dimensionality by extracting principal components. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was developed to discriminate between the Raman spectra and category labels. The SVM parameters were optimized using grid search, particle swarm optimization (PSO), and genetic algorithm (GA), yielding the optimal parameters (C and gamma). Notably, the grid search method demonstrated high efficiency in identifying the best combination of SVM parameters (c and g). Comparative analyses with varying numbers of principal components in SVM classifiers revealed that incorporating an optimal subset of PCA features achieved the highest classification accuracy of 94.44% for external validation samples, with only eight samples being misclassified into adjacent categories. This study offers technical support and a theoretical foundation for the effective assessment of the aging state of oil-barrier type insulation in transformers, contributing to the advancement of condition monitoring and maintenance strategies in power systems.

Methanol–gasoline blends have emerged as a promising and environmentally friendly bio-fuel option, garnering widespread attention and promotion globally. The methanol content within these blends significantly influences their quality and combustion performance. This study explores the qualitative and qualitative analysis of methanol–gasoline blends using Raman spectroscopy coupled with machine learning methods. Experimentally, methanol–gasoline blends with varying methanol concentrations were artificially configured, commencing with initial market samples. For qualitative analysis, the partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) model was employed to classify the categories of blends, demonstrating high prediction performance with an accuracy of nearly 100% classification. For the quantitative analysis, a consensus model was proposed to accurately predict the methanol content. It integrates member models developed on clustered variables, using the unsupervised clustering method of the self-organizing mapping neural network (SOM) to accomplish the regression prediction. The performance of this consensus model was systemically compared to that of the PLS model and uninformative variable elimination (UVE)–PLS model. Results revealed that the unsupervised consensus model outperformed other models in predicting the methanol content across various types of methanol gasoline blends. The correlation coefficients for prediction sets consistently exceeded 0.98. Consequently, Raman spectroscopy emerges as a suitable choice for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of methanol–gasoline blend quality. This study anticipates an increasing role for Raman spectroscopy in analysis of fuel composition.

Big data processing technology has attracted a lot of attention due to its forecasting and warning of Internet security situation. The current risk assessment system still has problems such as high false alarm rate and excessive reliance on expert knowledge in the security defense system. Based on the big data-driven principle, this paper constructs a hierarchical local area network security risk event prediction model and proposes a predictive complex event processing method. The model building process is evolved and improved on the basis of the scoring function. The establishment method of vulnerability database and vulnerability association database is introduced in detail. At the same time, the problem of the difference between the structure and identification method of the information in the information database and the vulnerability database is solved, and the effect of timely modification when the data do not match is realized. Experimental results show that the algorithm has an accuracy of 98.75% and a fault tolerance rate of 0.0035, which promotes the accuracy of the network risk assessment results based on multistage network attacks.
