Topological data analysis assisted machine learning for polar topological structures in oxide superlattices

Ferroelectric topological phases and phase transitions have been extensively investigated recently due to the rich physical insights and potential applications in next-generation electronic devices. However, precisely predicting the topological phase transitions under different internal and external conditions in polar oxide superlattice systems is challenging due to the complex energy competitions and highly nonlinear kinetics involved. Herein, we adopted a state-of-the-art mathematical concept called “persistent homology” from topological data analysis to extract the essential topological features for the polarization data in various topological structures. By implementing the persistent image as the descriptor, support vector regression (SVR) based convolutional neural network (CNN) models are developed for the automated and high precision classification and regression of topological states based on high-dimensional phase-field simulation data of the PTO/STO superlattice. Using this method, we can automatically construct the strain and electric field phase diagrams in seconds with high throughput phase-field data. We hope to spur further interest in the integration of state-of-the-art mathematical tools, machine learning algorithms, and condensed matter physics for predictions of topological phase transitions.

Electromechanical properties of different phases in ferroelectric crystals regulated by variously oriented electric fields

Electric fields offer a convenient and tunable way to induce phase transitions for regulating the electromechanical properties of ferroelectrics. However, regulating the electromechanical properties by using electric fields in various directions for different ferroelectric phases has yet to be systematically investigated, especially for lead-free material KNbO3. Based on the nonlinear thermodynamics analysis, the electric field-temperature phase diagrams of KNbO3 single crystals under different electric field directions (E[001], E[011], E[111]) have been constructed, along with the electric-field-induced electromechanical responses. The results show that the phase diagrams are markedly different under different electric field directions. Specifically, the electric field-temperature phase diagram appears as a "line"-shaped phase boundary under E[001], while it appears as a "U"-shaped phase boundary under E[011], and an arrowhead-shaped phase boundary under E[111]. It is also found that there are excellent electromechanical responses near both "U"-shaped and arrowhead-shaped phase boundaries due to the significant alterations in polarization slopes near the phase boundaries, offering an alternative pathway to regulate and enhance the electromechanical properties in ferroelectrics.

Development of a Technique for Mitigating Four-Wave Mixing Effect in Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing System Using DP-QPSK with Channel Spacing

A Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) system is a vital component in the optical network for the transmission of high data over a long distance. However, the non-linear effect of Four-Wave Mixing (FWM), one of the critical non-linear effects, limits the channel capacity and the amount of data that the DWDM system transmits. Intensity Modulation formats and Channel Shuffling algorithms being used to overcome the impact of FWM in DWDM are unable to sufficiently suppress the FWM effect due to limited capacity. This research, therefore, examined the mitigation of the FWM effect in the DWDM system using Dual Polarization Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DP-QPSK) and channel arrangement. The DP-QPSK was designed and implemented using 100 GHz for both Equal Space Channel Allocation (ESCA) and Unequal Space Channel Allocation (USCA). It was analysed on a 64-channel DWDM system operating at 100 Gbps capacity over a transmission distance of 1000 km. The DP-QPSK-based ESCA and USCA techniques were simulated using OptiSystem 17 simulation software and Python for data analysis. The performance of the system was evaluated using bit error rate (BER), optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) and Electrical Constellation Diagram. Validation was done with other advanced modulation formats: Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) and Differential-Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (D-QPSK). The DWDM system using DP-QPSK gave better performance due to the highest OSNR and BER values obtained when compared with ESCA-based QPSK and D-QPSK techniques. The technique can be used to suppress the effect of FWM in optical communication systems.

Magneto-mechanical design of a high-speed machine for aeronautics

Electrical machines that can run at high speeds are more and more studied as they can respond to the increasing need of power onboard of aircrafts. However, to allow high-speed operability mechanical handling of the rotating parts need to be insured. In this paper an analytic design process of a novel high-speed induction machine is presented. The analytical magnetic and mechanical models developed are presented and validated with finite element simulations. The magnetic model is based on a classic equivalent electrical diagram of induction machine with a specific adaptation for the rotor leakage inductance as the squirrel cage is buried. The mechanical model is based on a field displacement approach leading to the stress tensor in all the rotating part. A four degrees of freedom vibration analysis model considering gyroscopic effects based on Euler–Lagrange equation allows to identify the critical speeds of the system. It is shown that some geometrical parameters will have opposed effects on the two physics. Thus, an optimization-based coupling between the different physics allows to design rapidly the desired machine regarding any technical specifications as analytical models are being used.

AUTOMATED REHABILITATION TOOL FOR THE LOWER LIMB

An urgent problem today is the need to develop rehabilitation tools that can be used by the patient in self-care mode. Modern methods of rehabilitation of the lower limb are often limited by the availability of specialists and require constant supervision by medical personnel. The problem of incorrect foot posture can lead to numerous health complications, such as flat feet, which can be associated with diabetes and coronary heart disease. Therefore, the development of a tool for self-diagnosis of pressure on different areas of the foot and control of correction is an urgent task. The availability of this tool will contribute to effective rehabilitation in case of disorders of the lower limbs, improve posture, and slow down the progression of a number of diseases. Previous studies confirm the importance of active participation of patients in the rehabilitation process. The trend toward self-correction requires integrated technologies to provide real-time feedback. The main goal is to create the ability to adjust the position of the foot in shoes using data processing and visualiza-tion on a mobile application. The work presents the development of an automated rehabilitation tool for the lower limb, namely the electrical schematic diagram for the tool. The device uses advanced data processing methods to accurately determine the position of the foot. The analysis of the dynamics of movements and the interaction of the tool with the leg area are aimed at achieving maximum accuracy and efficiency of rehabilitation. The developed tool allows users to receive information about the position of the foot in the shoe in real time. The mobile application in the smartphone becomes a visual interface that displays important information that provides an opportunity for self-correction of posture, running technique, and various physical exercises. The automated rehabilitation tool defines a new stage in the development of technologies for self-correction of the lower limb in case of flat feet. By providing patients with a tool to actively control the rehabilitation process, this tool improves quality of life and reduces the need for ongoing medical supervision. In the future, there will be pro-gramming of the electrical circuit and development of the application for the device according to algorithms.

Power consumption profiles of the main fans at coal mines

Purpose. To determine the main indicators of the power consumption profiles of the main ventilation fans of coal mines under the condition of regulating their performance using controlled electric drive systems based on semiconductor elements. The methods. The methods of operations research were used to analyse technological processes in terms of compliance of the actual power consumption profiles of the main fans with their expected operating modes. The methods of mathematical statistics were used to determine the statistical parameters of the electrical loading diagrams of the main ventilation fans of coal mines. Findings. A statistical analysis of typical power consumption profiles of the main fans of coal mines with different electric drive systems has been carried out: a synchronous motor with a high-voltage frequency converter, an induction motor based on the asynchronous-thyristor cascade system, and a synchronous motor with ‘classical’ rotor excitation control without semiconductor elements. The feasibility of using adjustable electric drive systems to control the performance of main ventilation fans in terms of reducing active power consumption has been confirmed. However, at the same time, the consumption of a significant amount of reactive power is shown, which is inherent for systems based on semiconductor elements, regardless of the motor type (synchronous or asynchronous). Originality. The statistical analysis of the actual daily power consumption profiles of the main fans of coal mines with different controlled electric drive systems has shown that the standard deviation of the active load does not exceed 1% of the rated power of the drive motor and does not depend on its type (synchronous or asynchronous). Practical implementation. The practical value of the work is in determining the actual consumption of reactive power by the systems of controlled electric drive based on semiconductor elements. It shows its significant level, which should be provided by appropriate filter-compensating devices on the power supply buses of the motors of the main ventilation fans.

A comprehensive end-to-end computer vision framework for restoration and recognition of low-quality engineering drawings

The digitization of engineering drawings is crucial for efficient reuse, distribution, and archiving. Existing computer vision approaches for digitizing engineering drawings typically assume the input drawings have high quality. However, in reality, engineering drawings are often blurred and distorted due to improper scanning, storage, and transmission, which may jeopardize the effectiveness of existing approaches. This paper focuses on restoring and recognizing low-quality engineering drawings, where an end-to-end framework is proposed to improve the quality of the drawings and identify the graphical symbols on them. The framework uses K-means clustering to classify different engineering drawing patches into simple and complex texture patches based on their gray level co-occurrence matrix statistics. Computer vision operations and a modified Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (ESRGAN) model are then used to improve the quality of the two types of patches, respectively. A modified Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Faster R-CNN) model is used to recognize the quality-enhanced graphical symbols. Additionally, a multi-stage task-driven collaborative learning strategy is proposed to train the modified ESRGAN and Faster R-CNN models to improve the resolution of engineering drawings in the direction that facilitates graphical symbol recognition, rather than human visual perception. A synthetic data generation method is also proposed to construct quality-degraded samples for training the framework. Experiments on real-world electrical diagrams show that the proposed framework achieves an accuracy of 98.98% and a recall of 99.33%, demonstrating its superiority over previous approaches. Moreover, the framework is integrated into a widely-used power system software application to showcase its practicality. The reference codes and data can be found at https://github.com/Lattle-y/AI-recognition-for-lq-ed.git Future work will focus on improving the generalizability of the proposed framework to different quality degradation scenarios and extrapolating the application to different engineering domains.

Iota‐carrageenan (𝑖C) hydrogel oscillations under constant electric field and stability diagrams

AbstractSoft actuators belong to a type of actuators made of soft materials which are capable of converting applied energy to mechanical motion. They have been utilized in several fields due to their flexibility, low weight, inexpensiveness and simple fabrication. In this work, iota‐carrageenan (𝑖C) was chosen as the starting material for a hydrogel‐based actuator. The 𝑖C hydrogels were fabricated via a simple solvent‐casting technique at various concentrations: 2.4% (v/v), 2.8% (v/v) and 3.2% (v/v). All 𝑖C hydrogels were characterized for their chemical, thermal, rheological and morphological properties as well as the actuation performances under applied electric field. The 𝑖C hydrogels showed monotonic increases in the static bending distance and dielectrophoretic force with increasing electric field strength. Above the critical electrical field strengths, the ribbon‐like 𝑖C hydrogels oscillated back and forth due to the competition between the dielectrophoresis force, the resisting elastic force, the weight and the inertia force. Stability diagrams were constructed for the first time separating static bending from oscillation behavior under constant applied electric fields. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Investigation of an efficient high cooling-capacity Stirling-type pulse tube refrigerator with passive rod displacer operating at 173 K

Pulse tube refrigerator (PTR) with passive rod displacer is of great potential to realize high-efficiency refrigeration and can be a feasible substitute for the vapor compression system in ultra-low temperature cold storage. However, PTRs with passive rod displacer in that application require high efficiency and substantial cooling capacity, which still need to be developed in previous research. In this paper, a high cooling-capacity PTR with passive rod displacer operating at 173 K was designed, fabricated, and investigated. The special property of acoustic power recovery was exhibited based on an electrical circuit analogy model and energy flow analysis. The structural parameters of PTR with passive rod displacer were optimized by one-dimensional numerical software. The experimental results showed that a cooling capacity of 157.5 W at 173 K was obtained with an input electric power of 500 W. The corresponding relative Carnot efficiency reached 21.8 %. The phase difference between the displacer and piston decreased slightly from 58.1° with the increase of cooling temperature when charging pressure and operating frequency were 2.8 MPa and 65 Hz, respectively. The phase difference was determined by the operating frequency and was slightly affected by charging pressure, cooling temperature, and input electric power. Based on the validated numerical models, PTR with passive rod displacer and inertance-tube-type PTR were compared. The numerical results showed that both enthalpy and PV power enlarged at the T-junction in the PTR with passive rod displacer due to acoustic power recovery. According to the acoustic-mechanical–electrical coupling phasor diagram, the phase difference between pressure and piston displacement decreased because of the mass flow superposition at the T-junction, affecting the output capability of the linear compressor. The efficient high cooling-capacity prototype verifies that PTR with passive rod displacer has a bright future in ultra-low temperature engineering applications.

Development of a method for measuring pulse currents of large magnitude

The paper presents the results of a study on the search for correct methods for measuring a high-value current pulse, which will be used to conduct research on the electroplastic effect. The electroplastic effect is the effect of electric current pulses on the plastic flow of metals. Electroplastic metal forming technology is a relatively new metal forming process that is energy efficient, environmentally friendly and versatile. In particular, it can be used to process metals or alloys that are difficult to process using conventional manufacturing processes. For the experimental study of the electroplastic effect, it became necessary to measure pulse currents of large magnitude, not only in amplitude, but also in the shape of the pulse. The pulsed current causes the formation of an alternating electromagnetic field near the conductors, so it can be measured with a Rogovsky current transformer. The results of the work present a schematic electrical diagram and a photograph with the appearance of an experimental installation for the study of the electroplastic effect. The results of measurements of the current value, the voltage drop on the sample and the dependence of the peak voltage values on the sample on the peak current value are shown. After making calculations and renormalising the data for the voltage drop on the sample according to the peak value of the current obtained on the transformer, the authors obtained the desired current values. The error of this method is estimated by calculating the total capacitance of capacitors, which does not exceed 2%.

Triple-band graphene-based tunable electromagnetically induced transparency terahertz metamaterial with multi-frequency optical switching

A simple graphene-based terahertz metamaterial with the composite patterns of a π-shaped and a strip-shaped is proposed for realizing the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) effect. Three efficient transparent peaks with the average transparency strength of >85 % are achieved. The physical mechanism of the formation of the triple-band EIT effect is illustrated by the transmission spectra combined with the electric field diagrams of the transparent window and the transmission dip. Interestingly, upon changing the position of the strip-shape graphene and the distance between the vertical graphene, the triple-band EIT effect shifts to a dual-band and a single-band, respectively, illustrating the reason for the shifts using the electric field of peaks and dips. The Fermi energy level of graphene can be changed by biasing voltage to create a frequency shift of the resonance peaks of the transmission spectrum, and at the same time, six-frequency optical switching can be realized, which has a modulation degree of amplitude (MDA) of 94.6 %, 90.6 %, 98.1 %, 90.5 %, 97.6 %, and 89.4 %, respectively. These results indicate that the proposed multi-band terahertz metamaterials have great potential for applications in fields such as optical switching and sensing.

Broadband photodetector based on Co3O4/ZnO/Si double heterojunctions: A morphological and optoelectronic study

The growing demand for efficient and cost-effective optoelectronic devices has motivated extensive research into advanced photodetector architectures. This work realizes a robust platform for broadband photodetection via architectural engineering of Co3O4/ZnO/Si double heterojunctions using facile chemical spray pyrolysis. Comprehensive materials and device characterization provides fundamental insights into the role of tailored morphology, band alignment engineering, and defect landscape in dictating device behavior. Aligned ZnO nanorods and fine-grained Co3O4 layers enable efficient light harvesting and charge transport. A triple bandgap structure stemming from the synergistic combination of the two oxides facilitates broadband spectral response from 400 to 1000 nm. Based on the optical properties, triple energy bandgap ranges have been observed, ZnO exhibits an energy bandgap ranging from 2.35 eV to 3.15 eV, while Co3O4 shows energy bandgaps in the range of 1.85 eV–2.23 eV and 1.35 eV–1.5 eV. The responsivity measurements show that Co3O4/ZnO/Si double-heterojunction device has the highest responsivity over a wide range, with distinct peaks at 480 nm and 950 nm, reaching values of 3.5 A/W and 4.5 A/W, respectively. Analysis of electrical transport characteristics and energy band diagrams elucidates the photogenerated carrier dynamics and photocurrent generation governed by strategic heterointerfaces. These fundamental insights into nanoscale interface and architecture engineering lay the foundation for custom-designing high performance metal oxide heterojunction photodetectors through facile and scalable spray pyrolysis technique.

A High-Resolution LED Stimulator for Steady-State Visual Stimulation: Customizable, Affordable, and Open Source.

Visually evoked steady-state potentials (SSVEPs) are neural responses elicited by visual stimuli oscillating at specific frequencies. In this study, we introduce a novel LED stimulator system explicitly designed for steady-state visual stimulation, offering precise control over visual stimulus parameters, including frequency resolution, luminance, and the ability to control the phase at the end of the stimulation. The LED stimulator provides a personalized, modular, and affordable option for experimental setups. Based on the Teensy 3.2 board, the stimulator utilizes direct digital synthesis and pulse width modulation techniques to control the LEDs. We validated its performance through four experiments: the first two measured LED light intensities directly, while the last two assessed the stimulator's impact on EEG recordings. The results demonstrate that the stimulator can deliver a stimulus suitable for generating SSVEPs with the desired frequency and phase resolution. As an open source resource, we provide comprehensive documentation, including all necessary codes and electrical diagrams, which facilitates the system's replication and adaptation for specific experimental requirements, enhancing its potential for widespread use in the field of neuroscience setups.

Temperature-tunable terahertz metamaterial device based on VO2 phase transition principle.

Terahertz devices play an irreplaceable role in the development of terahertz technology. However, at present, it is difficult for most natural materials to respond in the terahertz band, making the devices made of them perform poorly. In order to realize the diversity and tunability of device functions, we designed a terahertz metamaterial device composed of the thermally-induced phase change material VO2. The device structure is composed of a Au bottom layer, a SiO2 dielectric layer and a VO2 top layer. Through software simulation, we found that when T = 313 K, the device has complete reflection ability in the whole terahertz band. When T = 342 K, the average absorptivity is above 95% in the ultra-wide band range of 4.71-9.41 THz, and the absorptivity reaches an amazing 0.99999 at 6.31 THz. Thus, the maximum thermal modulation range of the device is 0.001-0.99999. The Bruggeman effective medium theory clarifies the phase transition characteristics of vanadium dioxide. The Drude model establishes the functional relationship between the conductivity of vanadium dioxide and temperature. The basic principle of high absorption was described using the impedance matching theory. We also drew the electric field intensity diagram during the temperature rise of the device to further confirm the reason for the change in the device performance. In addition, the influence of the absence of different structural layers on the absorptivity was simulated, which reflected the role of each layer structure more intuitively. We also explored the influence of the geometric size of the device on the absorptivity, which provided a certain reference value for practical application. In short, we have designed a tunable terahertz device with simple structure, high absorptivity, and wide absorption bandwidth, which can be used in the fields of energy collection, electromagnetic stealth, and modulation.
