A high frequency periodic signal measurement system based on equivalent sampling method is developed. A high-speed sampling voltage tracking circuit, the core component of the system, is described in detail. The circuit can transform the amplitude co...

We propose a deep convolutional spiking neural network (DCSNN) with direct training to classify concrete bridge damage in a real engineering environment. The leaky-integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron model is employed in our DCSNN that is similar to VGG....

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is a multidisciplinary engineering principle combing the IoT (Internet of things), big data, and cloud computing to cope with the dynamic changing industry. In this paper, the DDS (data distribution service) communication protocol...

When performing weak flux control to drive a permanent-magnet synchronous motor at high speed, the efficiency is lowered because the copper loss increases as the negative D-axis current increases. In addition, if the overmodulation index is slightly...

The health of aero-engines is pivotal to the safe operation of aircraft. With increasing service time, the internal components of the engine will be damaged by threats from different sources, so it is necessary to regularly detect the damage inside t...

Robot trajectory prediction is an essential part of building digital twin systems and ensuring the high-performance navigation of IoT mobile robots. In the study, a novel two-stage multi-objective multi-learner model is proposed for robot trajectory...

A 6 MeV hybrid photo-cathode gun is driving a THz-FEL in Ariel University, as well as other applications. An electron bunch with small transverse emittance is extracted from a copper photo-cathode using a 1 ps UV laser pulse, and then accelerated to...

The performance of WR-3.4 overmoded waveguide modules containing a linear array of discrete terahertz integrated circuits is presented to verify a new power-combining technique. Custom-designed thru-line IC chips that include back-to-back broadband a...

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the entire process of teaching and learning moved online. This forced teachers and pupils to heavily rely on information and communications technology (ICT) and make adjustments to the new mode of teaching and learning i...

Both robustness and self-repairing of the rhythmic behaviors generated by central pattern generators (CPGs) play significant roles in locomotion control. Although current CPG models have been established to mimic rhythmic outputs, the mechanisms by w...
