FusionGAN is a novel genre fusion framework for music generation that integrates the strengths of generative adversarial networks and dual learning. In particular, the proposed method offers a dual learning extension that can effectively integrate the styles of the given domains. To efficiently quantify the difference among diverse domains and avoid the vanishing gradient issue, FusionGAN provides...
In this paper, it addresses a sort of predictive control with the delay compensation for a kind of nonlinear networked control systems, which have packet dropouts and delays in both sensor-to-controller channel and controller-to-actuator channel. Firstly, an event trigger is designed at the controller side to save the limited resources. Only when the control signals satisfy the event-triggered condition,...
This paper presents the design and optimization of a high-efficiency permanent magnet synchronous alternator with the desired output power of 2 kW at 6 krpm applying to the truck power system. This kind of alternator requires low output voltage and high current. In order to effectively increase the overload power handing capability and efficiency of the designed alternator, the low torque angle is...
At present, because the accuracy of the model and its parameters of Under Excitation Limiter (UEL) for generators in power system stability simulation in China is insufficient, power factor depth of the generators during the simulation evidently is different from the capability of generators, the check of steady voltage rise will be optimistic and the pre-control strategies based on these results...
This paper presents a signal-reused technique for distributed amplifier (DA) by using feedback transformers between the cascaded gain stages. With a proper coupling coefficient (k) of the feedback transformer, the gain-bandwidth (GBW) product of DA can be improved by extending the bandwidth of DA while maintaining the same average gain without increasing the power consumption. The DA is realized by...
In order to enable the development of smart services, many IoT platforms were proposed to securely and reliably connect IoT devices to the Internet and to each other. Examples are IoTivity from Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF), AllJoyn from AllSeen Alliance, Weave from Google and HomeKit from Apple. However, such fragmentation of IoT platforms has made the development of IoT applications very difficult...
We can find various Internet of Things (IoT) products available in the market to accommodate users needs. Current IoT applications, however, built delicately for their usage with their own sensor devices and Apps. This limitation thus prevents users from handling flexible situations. In this paper, we propose iToy, an LEGO-like solution to integrate various off-the-shelf sensors for different IoT...
A MoO3/Ag/MoO3 (MAM) transparent electrode was developed which aims for realizing transparent organic light-emitting diodes (TOLEDs) with different emission colors. The performance of the transparent electrode is significantly influenced by the thickness as well as the surface morphology of the silver film in MAM structure. The thermal evaporation process of the silver layer adopted varied deposition...
In this paper, the vertical dynamic characteristics of unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) with rocker suspension are studied. A mathematical model is established to investigate the vertical dynamic characteristics of three-axle UGV with rocker suspension. This mathematical model is validated by the multi-body dynamics software Adams. The pitch angle acceleration of vehicle is selected as the evaluation...
In this paper, A solution is proposed for the multi-robot task assignment in obstacle environment, which combines the A∗ algorithm with the genetic algorithm. Our main work are twofold:(a) Path planning method based on A∗ algorithm to search an optimal path between any robot and any target or any two targets; and (b) task assignment method based on the genetic algorithm for the assignment of robots...
Lithium-ion battery has already become the third generation of space energy storage with higher specific energy, lower ratio of self-discharge and other remarkable advantages. Robust and accurate battery prognosis is indispensable not just in satellite autonomous mission planning but also in self-determined maintenance. Prognosis based on indirect health indicators (HIs) provide an effective non-invasive...
Stereolithography is a promising way to produce customized 3D structures. It has been playing an irreplaceable role in the industry because of its high customization and fast prototyping capability. Many areas such as medical molding and product prototyping have achieved big success with stereolithography. Dentists have used stereolithography for dental implants, orthodontics and oral surgery.
Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) is a regular electrophysiological response which is evoked by outer world events or stimuli from brain, and an important approach to explore the human cognitive function. A variety of methods have been proposed for an attempt to analyze it, with varying degrees of success. In this paper, we have proposed a novel method for learning the ERPs, which bases on the effective...
In this study, we present a set of new evaluation measures for the track-based multi-camera tracking (T-MCT) task leveraging the clustering measurements. We demonstrate that the proposed evaluation measures provide notable advantages over previous ones. Moreover, a distributed and online T-MCT framework is proposed, where re-identification (Re-id) is embedded in T-MCT, to confirm the validity of the...
In this paper, we proposed a compact quad-band bandpass filter (BPF) using multilayer substrate technique. The filter is designed to have quad-band at 1.8, 2.4, 3.5 and 4.2 GHz. The four passbands are simultaneously generated by controlling the impedance and length ratios of the stub-loaded stepped impedance resonators (SIRs). By using the stub-loaded SIRs, the filter with closed passbands can be...
The logically-centralized controllers have largely operated as the coordination points in software-defined networking(SDN), through which applications submit network operations to manage the global network resource. Therefore, the validity of these network operations from SDN applications are critical for the security of SDN. In this paper, we analyze the mechanism that generates network operations...
Hybrid beamforming architecture that combines analog beamforming and digital beamforming has been widely accepted in the emerging millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems with large antenna arrays. However, the design of codebooks and beam training procedures at the analog stage is problematic in mmWave system. In this study, we propose a feasible two-stage 3D codebook design consisting of a primary codebook...
This paper presents an area- and energy-efficient sensor readout circuit, which can precisely digitize temperature, capacitance and voltage. The three modes use only on-chip references and employ a shared zoom ADC based on SAR and ΔΣ conversion to save die area. Measurements on 24 samples from a single wafer show a temperature inaccuracy of ±0.2 °C (3σ) over the military temperature range (−55°C to...
Fault classification in power systems is a challenging and complex task as the variety and variability of the electrical parameters of the various network components in spatial and temporal scales. The majority of machine learning methods for event detection require the labeled data sets or examples of previous events. However, the recorded event data happen in different locations, time and system...
Detecting students' attention in class provides key information to teachers to capture and retain students' attention. Traditionally, such information is collected manually by human observers. Wearable devices, which have received a lot of attention recently, are rarely discussed in this field. In view of this, we propose a multimodal system which integrates a head-motion module, a pen-motion module,...
