Correction to: TDOA versus ATDOA for wide area multilateration system
The paper (Stefanski and Sadowski, EURASIP J. Wirel. Commun. Netw. 2018, Article 179) introduces a multilateration algorithm for unsynchronized sensor networks. However, a very similar method has been proposed before that is not cited.

Bioinspired Shape‐Memory Hook Fasteners With Programmable Interlocking and Silent Release
Bioinspired hook fasteners made from epoxy shape‐memory polymers are shown to switch between strong, secure attachment and gentle, silent release when heated. By combining programmable geometry and material response, these adaptive fasteners outperform commercial systems in strength and noise control, enabling new solutions for robotics, medical ...
