Autonomous X‐Ray Fluorescence Mapping for Nanoscale Chemical Speciation of Fine Particulate Matter

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
We present X‐AutoMap, an autonomous X‐ray fluorescence mapping framework that integrates real‐time analysis with rule‐based computer vision to selectively target chemically relevant regions. By avoiding background‐dominated areas, the method reduces acquisition time by fourfold while enabling accurate particle‐level speciation.

Convergence and Residual Error Analysis of Unsteady MHD Stagnation Flow Over a Cylindrical Surface With Streamline and Isotherm Visualization

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The novelty of the current study is that the unsteady MHD Cross nanofluid model is, for the first time, coupled with the melting heat transfer at the stagnation point over a horizontally extended cylinder in a Darcy–Forchheimer porous medium. This work connects complex rheological behaviors and phase‐change phenomena in a unique way, with the only ...

The measurement of the absolute displacement of a noisy disc brake [PDF]

, 2008
The investigation of in-plane vibration of a noisy disc brake is problematic because it is difficult both to measure and to verify. Because of the disc structure and the inability to visualize disc in-plane vibration, there has been reluctance by ...

Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

A Compact Annular Electrostatic Clutch Joint: Dynamic Response Modeling and Time‐Sharing Control for Underactuated Robots

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Electrostatic clutches offer programmable variable stiffness for multi‐DOF robots, but their continuous motion is usually bottlenecked by spatial constraints and detachment delays. Here, the authors report a compact annular electrostatic clutch joint with a biphasic amplitude‐frequency modulation strategy to rapidly mitigate residual polarization ...
