Sport-Related Human Activity Detection and Recognition Using a Smartwatch

Sensors, 2019
As an active research field, sport-related activity monitoring plays an important role in people’s lives and health. This is often viewed as a human activity recognition task in which a fixed-length sliding window is used to segment long-term ...

Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).

'Calving laws', 'sliding laws' and the stability of tidewater glaciers [PDF]

, 2007
A new calving criterion is introduced, which predicts calving where the depth of surface crevasses equals ice height above sea level. Crevasse depth is calculated from strain rates, and terminus position and calving rate are therefore functions of ice ...

A Novel Robust Finite-Time Trajectory Control With the High-Order Sliding Mode for Human–Robot Cooperation

IEEE Access, 2019
Human-robot cooperation is the major challenges in robot manipulator control, as the controller has to couple the complicated motion of the human arm and the robot end-effectors. To improve the human-robot coordination, this paper proposed a novel robust

3D‐Printed Titanium Gyroid Scaffold Structure Integrated With Tough Hybrid Materials for Cartilage Replacement

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a potential device design for joint cartilage replacement. Silica‐polytetrahydrofuran (SiO2‐PolyTHF) hybrids with customizable mechanical properties were developed to mimic the characteristics of a natural meniscus. These were synthesized through a two‐pot sol–gel hybrid process.

Decentralised sliding mode control for a class of nonlinear interconnected systems [PDF]

, 2015
In this paper, a decentralised control strategy based on sliding mode techniques is proposed for a class of nonlinear interconnected systems. Both matched uncertainties in the isolated subsystems and mismatched uncertainties associated with the ...

Thermal Cycle–Microstructure–Property Relationships in Rail Steel Heat‐Affected Zone Simulated by Gleeble

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Microstructural evolution of premium rail steel during flash butt welding (FBW), comparing physically simulated heat‐affected zones with actual weld regions. Thermal cycles induce phase transformations and microstructural heterogeneity that influence weld quality and mechanical performance. These findings provide insights into optimizing FBW parameters

A Reference Trajectory Based Discrete Time Sliding Mode Control Strategy

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2019
This study presents a new, reference trajectory based sliding mode control strategy for disturbed discrete time dynamical systems. The desired trajectory, which is generated externally according to an existing switching type reaching law, determines the ...

Printed Integrated Logic Circuits Based on Chitosan‐Gated Organic Transistors for Future Edible Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Edible electronics needs integrated logic circuits for computation and control. This work presents a potentially edible printed chitosan‐gated transistor with a design optimized for integration in circuits. Its implementation in integrated logic gates and circuits operating at low voltage (0.7 V) is demonstrated, as well as the compatibility with an ...
