Automating work process analysis is crucial in manufacturing to improve efficiency and productivity. However, traditional deep learning methods often fail to capture subtle temporal changes in machine operations, such as varying speeds. We propose a cost-effective approach called pseudo-sensing, which simulates sensor data by measuring machine speeds directly from video using wavelet transformation, a mathematical tool for time-frequency analysis. This approach eliminates the need for physical sensors.
We evaluated pseudo-sensing by integrating it into two task classification models. The first is a convolutional neural network-long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) model, which extracts spatial features via a CNN and learns temporal patterns using an LSTM. The second is a three-dimensional residual network (3D ResNet, R3D), designed to process spatiotemporal data simultaneously. With pseudo-sensing, the CNN-LSTM’s micro-F1 score—an accuracy metric averaging precision and recall across all classes—improved from 0.712 to 0.736 (+2.4 points), while R3D’s score rose from 0.675 to 0.701 (+2.7 points).
To assess general applicability, we tested pseudo-sensing on another dataset featuring diverse machine motions: unidirectional movements (e.g., conveyor belts), oscillatory movements (e.g., pendulum-like motions), rotational movements (e.g., rotary presses), and intermittent movements (e.g., blinking or toggling mechanisms). The method achieved an 83% success rate in identifying machine dynamics.
By leveraging deep learning, this method integrates video-based machine operation sensing with task recognition, considering both human actions and machine states. Eliminating additional sensors while enhancing accuracy and efficiency, pseudo-sensing offers broad potential for advancing manufacturing process analysis.

Though the design procedures of dual-band power amplifiers (PAs) have been thoroughly studied in previous works, these studies have seldom delved into analyze the dual-band PA when it is driven by a concurrent dual-band signal. This paper presents the analysis and design of broadband class-F PA operating in concurrent mode. The class-F PA driven by a concurrent dual-band signal is analyzed using power series technique. It is illustrated that, compared to a concurrent class-B PA, the concurrent class-F PA exhibits an increased output power of 4.8 dB. Furthermore, when excited by a concurrent two-tone signal, the output power decrease of the class-F PA is merely 0.8 dB, as opposed to single-tone signal excitation. A broadband 1.8–2.2 GHz class-F PA supporting concurrent operation is designed and measured in this work. When excited by a single-tone signal, the broadband PA achieves a maximum output power of 41.1–42.4 dBm with a drain efficiency (DE) of 61.8%–67.3%. On the other hand, under the excitation of a concurrent two-tone signal centered at 2.0 GHz, the fabricated PA achieves an output power of 40.0–40.6 dBm with a DE of 60.0%–64.0% across a tone-spacing of 0–400 MHz.

Trajectory planning for tractor–trailer vehicles (TTVs) in a cluttered environment is a highly challenging task owing to complicated kinematic and large-scale collision-avoidance constraints. It has stringent requirements for trajectory feasibility and computational efficiency. Moreover, the varying configurations of TTVs pose challenges to the scalability of the planning method. This article proposes a novel safety-critical trajectory planning method with a general model to address these challenges. Firstly, an algebraic general model is first presented to represent these N-Trailer systems with different hitching types and trailer types uniformly. Secondly, the planning problem is formulated as a nonlinear model predictive control scheme with two key efforts to accelerate calculation speed. One operation is that a novel search-guided optimization-based collision avoidance (SG-OBCA) method is developed to provide a high-quality initial guess. The other operation is that intractable non-convex collision-avoidance constraints are translated into a dual form based on exponential discrete-time control barrier function (DCBF). Finally, both comparative simulations and real-world experiments are conducted to demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the proposed method in different complicated scenarios and configurations of TTVs.

Limited research exists on the 3D geometric models and as a consequence the aerodynamic characteristics of the grey-headed albatross (GHA). Despite existing methods for extracting bird wing cross-sections, few studies consider deflections due to aerodynamic pressure. With the GHA known for its exceptional flight speed and purported wing-lock mechanism, it offers a valuable subject for studying fixed-wing aerodynamics in nature. This study aims to develop and validate a numerical approach to estimate the GHA's wing cross-section in flight. The PARSEC method is combined with a scanned 3D point cloud of a dried GHA wing to create a 3D model and analyse an averaged aerofoil section. Using a pseudo-2D computational fluid dynamics model, the study explores passive morphing of bird wings due to aerodynamic pressure. Results show that the aerofoil morphs to achieve maximum potential aerodynamic efficiency at a Reynolds number of2×105, decreasing in camber. The maximum lift-to-drag ratio ((CL/CD)max) increases from 3 to 44, primarily due to pressure drag reduction. However, the lack of comparison to true bird geometry in flight remains a limitation. Future research should compare the predicted morphing with actual bird specimens in flight.
