Radiative Thermal Management for Extreme Environments: Mechanisms and Design Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss the fundamental mechanisms of radiative cooling and solar heating, material and structural design strategies, hybrid approaches integrating additional heat transfer pathways, and durability‐oriented designs addressing environmental stresses.

Parity‐Dependent THz Harmonic Generation in Electrically Pumped Micro‐Lasers Exploiting Topological Insulator–Metamaterial Gratings

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Topological insulator–metamaterials integrated with electrically driven terahertz quantum cascade lasers enable parity‐dependent harmonic generation. Bulk‐dominated Bi2Se3 favors third‐harmonic emission at 9.96 THz, whereas topological‐surface‐state‐dominated Bi2Se3, Bi2Te3, and (Bi,Sb)2Te3 generate strong second harmonics near 6.5 THz.

Fiber‐Format Flexible Linear Electrostatic Motors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A flexible coaxial fibre‐format electrostatic motor enables backdrivable and reversible linear actuation with high force density and functionality under bending, offering a scalable actuation platform for soft and wearable robotics. ABSTRACT Linear motion is fundamental to robotics, yet existing solutions are either rigid electromagnetic motors or ...

Accelerated Materials Discovery Through In Situ X‐ray Diffraction: Solvothermal Formation of PdxMy (M═Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) Intermetallic Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
In situ PXRD data on solvothermal reactions accelerate materials discovery while simultaneously providing fundamental insights into complex crystal formation processes. Using PdxMy (M = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) as an example, a general formation mechanism is identified, and specific synthesis strategies for ex situ preparation of SnPd2, Sn13Pd20, and SnPd ...

Elastic feedback control

Proceedings 12th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems. Euromicro RTS 2000, 2002
In many real time control applications, the task periods are typically fixed and worst case execution times are used in schedulability analysis. With the advancement of robotics, flexible visual sensing using cameras has become a popular alternative to the use of embedded sensors. Unfortunately, the execution time of visual tracking varies greatly.

Feedback control of canards

Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2008
We present a control mechanism for tuning a fast-slow dynamical system undergoing a supercritical Hopf bifurcation to be in the canard regime, the tiny parameter window between small and large periodic behavior. Our control strategy uses continuous feedback control via a slow control variable to cause the system to drift on average toward canard orbits.

Feedback control of anaesthesia

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 1998
Feedback control of anaesthesia can improve the quality of patient care while reducing the administration and cost of anaesthetic drugs. Systems have been available for several years to control blood pressure and neuromuscular blockade. Control of anaesthetic depth has been reported using the median frequency of the electroencephalogram.

Farming as feedback control

2014 American Control Conference, 2014
This paper surveys a brief history of agriculture, demonstrating how advances in genetics, equipment, and management practices have resulted in the remarkable productivity experienced by today's agriculture industrial complex. We then show that progress in each of these areas is, in part, the result of new solutions to a feedback-control problem ...

Cooperative-feedback control

ISA Transactions, 2007
In this work a control structure capable of handling controllability problems, which emerge from the presence of constraints, and improve the performance of the system by coordinating the use of several manipulated variables is introduced. In this scheme, the primary manipulated variable is used to handle the transient response while the auxiliary ...

Predictive feedback control

42nd IEEE International Conference on Decision and Control (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37475), 2004
In this work a new method for designing predictive controllers for linear SISO systems is presented. It uses only one prediction of the process output J time intervals ahead to compute the correspondent future error. The predictive feedback controller is defined by introducing a filter that weights the last w-predicted errors.
