Hierarchically Wrinkled Silver Ink as a Platform for Fully Integrated Stretchable Electronic Systems

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Silver Hierarchical Responsive ink (SHRink), a universal approach for the fabrication of highly stretchable interconnects, wirings, and skin‐interfaced electrodes, is realized through low‐cost, scalable spray‐printing and transfer‐printing. The SHRink demonstrates high electrical conductivity (1.2E04 S cm−1) and large stretchability (235% max fracture ...

Topological survey of zeta power converters from classical designs to emerging architectures

Energy Conversion and Management: X
Initially introduced as the dual single-ended primary inductor converter (SEPIC), the zeta converter has since evolved significantly from the classical direct current (DC) converter.

The Impact of Grid Distortion on the Power Conversion Harmonics of AC/DC Converters in the Supraharmonic Range

Electronics
AC/DC converters, controlled by pulse width modulation (PWM) and used as power factor correction (PFC), is considered one of the main contributors to emissions in the range 2 kHz–150 kHz, recently known as the supraharmonic (SH) range. This study looks at the impact of SH grid distortion on the LF (<2 kHz) and HF (>2 kHz) emission of an AC/DC ...

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.
