Blind Adaptive Beamformer Based on Orthogonal Projections for GNSS

open access: yes, 2012
The quality of the ranging data provided by a global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) receiver largely depends on the synchronization error, that is, on the accuracy of the propagation time-delay estimation of the line-of-sight (LOS) signal.

Multimodal Soft Surgical Robots Enabled by Eco‐Degradable, Sterilizable Polymers and Transient Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A compostable PGS soft surgical robot with interchangeable modules integrates transient Mo tactile and Si thermal sensors for dual feedback. The device preserves its function after clinical‐grade sterilization, demonstrates stable actuation and cardiac tissue grasping with real‐time in vivo pulsatile monitoring, and biodegrades post‐use with soil‐safe,
