Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D-printing, has the potential for rapid prototyping of innovative designs of magnetic components used in power electronics converters. In this study, we tailored a silver paste as the metal feedstock of an extrusion 3...
Universal shade flowable composites have been introduced to mimic tooth structure with reduced color mismatch and reduced chair time and cost. However, the polymerization shrinkage of resin material may lead to sensitivity and restoration failure. Th...
Deflection mismatch exists in microelectromechanical systems (MEMSs) cantilevers. To adjust for this mismatch, we devised a method to form Al and Ni films on the cantilever and adjusted the film stress by thermal annealing at a low temperature for a...
Since the early 21st century, urban shrinkage has become a significant global phenomenon. Dongguan, in Guangdong Province, China, is known as a “world factory”. It experienced notable urban shrinkage following the 2008 financial crisis. H...
In glass interposer architecture and its assembly process, the mechanical responses of interposer structure under thermocompression process-induced thermal loading and generated shrinkage of molding material are regarded as a major reliability issue....
Most of the shrinking cities experience an unbalanced deurbanization across different urban areas in cities. However, traditional ways of measuring urban shrinkage are focused on tracking population loss at the city level and are unable to capture th...
The current deformation scheme used in the 4D printing of ceramics has several disadvantages, such as a poor deformation capacity, high process complexity, and the poor mechanical properties of the product. In order to solve these problems, the defor...
A TIG surface alloying process was applied to modify the surface of ductile cast iron samples. Using this process, in-situ metal matrix composite (MMC) layers were produced on samples to improve their wear resistance. These layers were made by meltin...
Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology exhibits the capability of producing components with complex structures for a variety of technical applications. Postprocessing of additively printed ceramic components has been shown to be an important step...
Distribution mismatch can be easily found in multi-sensor systems, which may be caused by different shoot angles, weather conditions and so on. Domain adaptation aims to build robust classifiers using the knowledge from a well-labeled source domain,...
Electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into specific renewable fuels is an attractive way to mitigate the greenhouse effect and solve the energy crisis. AunCu100-n/C alloy nanoparticles (AunCu100−n/C NPs) with tunable compositions,...
Polyolefin separators with worse porous structures and compatibilities mismatch the internal environment and deteriorate lithium-ion battery (LIB) combination properties. In this study, a sulfonated SiO2 (SSD) composited polypropylene separator (PP@S...
Plastic is an attractive material for the fabrication of tubular optical instruments due to its light weight, high strength, and ease of processing. However, for plastic components fabricated using the injection molding technique, roundness and conce...
Sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) is applied to the coprime array for underdetermined wideband direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. Using the augmented covariance matrix, the coprime array can achieve a higher number of degrees of freedom (DOFs) to re...
Existing array calibration methods rely on the geometric characteristics of the array or signal matrix, which limits their flexibility and robustness. This study addresses this challenge by proposing a novel joint sparse estimation method for array g...
