The existing task assignment algorithms usually solve only a point-based model. This paper proposes a novel algorithm for task assignment in detection search tasks. Firstly, the optimal reconnaissance path is generated by considering the drone’s position and attitude information, as well as the type of heterogeneous targets present in the actual scene. Subsequently, an adaptive crowding distance calculation (ACD-NSGA-II) is proposed based on the relative position of solutions in space, taking into account the spatial distribution of parent solutions and constraints imposed by uncertain targets and terrain. Finally, comparative experiments using digital simulation are conducted under two different target probability scenarios. Moreover, the improved algorithm is further evaluated across 100 cases, and a comparison of the Pareto solution set with other algorithms is conducted to demonstrate the algorithm’s overall adaptability.

Knowledge graphs equipped with graph network networks (GNNs) have led to a successful step forward in alleviating cold start problems in recommender systems. However, the performance highly depends on precious high-quality knowledge graphs and supervised labels. This paper argues that existing knowledge-graph-based recommendation methods still suffer from insufficiently exploiting sparse information and the mismatch between personalized interests and general knowledge. This paper proposes a model named Adaptive Knowledge Contrastive Learning with Dynamic Attention (AKCL-DA) to address the above challenges. Specifically, instead of building contrastive views by randomly discarding information, in this study, an adaptive data augmentation method was designed to leverage sparse information effectively. Furthermore, a personalized dynamic attention network was proposed to capture knowledge-aware personalized behaviors by dynamically adjusting user attention, therefore alleviating the mismatch between personalized behavior and general knowledge. Extensive experiments on Yelp2018, LastFM, and MovieLens datasets show that AKCL-DA achieves a strong performance, improving the NDCG by 4.82%, 13.66%, and 4.41% compared to state-of-the-art models, respectively.

Conventional methods of parameterizing fuel cell hybrid power systems (FCHPS) often rely on engineering experience, which leads to problems such as increased economic costs and excessive weight of the system. These shortcomings limit the performance of FCHPS in real-world applications. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel method for optimizing the parameter configuration of FCHPS. First, the power and energy requirements of the vehicle are determined through traction calculations, and a real-time energy management strategy is used to ensure efficient power distribution. On this basis, a multi-objective parameter configuration optimization model is developed, which comprehensively considers economic cost and system weight, and uses a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to determine the optimal configuration of each power source. The optimization results show that the system economic cost is reduced by 8.76% and 18.05% and the weight is reduced by 11.47% and 9.13%, respectively, compared with the initial configuration. These results verify the effectiveness of the proposed optimization strategy and demonstrate its potential to improve the overall performance of the FCHPS.

This paper presents an integrated coil design method for inductive power-transfer (IPT) systems. Because a medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) distribution network transmits power at relatively high voltages (typically in the tens of kV), accurate fault diagnosis using high-performance sensors is crucial to improve the safety of MVDC distribution networks. With the increasing power consumption of high-performance sensors, conventional power supplies using optical converters with 5 W-class output characteristics face limitations in achieving the rated output power. Therefore, this paper proposes a safe and reliable power supply method using the principle of IPT to securely maintain the insulation distance between the distribution network and the current sensor-supply line. A 100 W prototype IPT system is investigated, and its feasibility is validated by comparing its performance with conventional optical converters.
本文介绍了电感式功率传输 (IPT) 系统的集成线圈设计方法。由于中压直流(MVDC)配电网络以相对较高的电压(通常为几十千伏)传输电力,因此使用高性能传感器进行准确的故障诊断对于提高中压直流配电网络的安全性至关重要。随着高性能传感器功耗的增加,使用具有 5 W 级输出特性的光转换器的传统电源在实现额定输出功率方面面临着限制。因此,本文利用 IPT 原理提出了一种安全可靠的供电方法,以确保配电网络与电流传感器供电线路之间的绝缘距离。本文研究了一个 100 W 的原型 IPT 系统,并通过与传统光电转换器的性能比较验证了其可行性。

Existing etch endpoint detection (EPD) methods, primarily based on single wavelengths, have limitations, such as low signal-to-noise ratios and the inability to consider the long-term dependencies of time series data. To address these issues, this study proposes a context of time series data using long short-term memory (LSTM), a kind of recurrent neural network (RNN). The proposed method is based on the time series data collected through optical emission spectroscopy (OES) data during the SiO2 etching process. After training the LSTM model, the proposed method demonstrated the ability to detect the etch endpoint more accurately than existing methods by considering the entire time series. The LSTM model achieved an accuracy of 97.1% in a given condition, which shows that considering the flow and context of time series data can significantly reduce the false detection rate. To improve the performance of the proposed LSTM model, we created an attention-based LSTM model and confirmed that the model accuracy is 98.2%, and the performance is improved compared to that of the existing LSTM model.

Rail surface defect detection is vital for railway safety. Traditional methods falter with varying defect sizes and complex backgrounds, while two-stage deep learning models, though accurate, lack real-time capabilities. To overcome these challenges, we propose an enhanced one-stage detection model based on CenterNet. We replace ResNet with ResNeXt and implement a multi-branch structure for better low-level feature extraction. Additionally, we integrate SKNet attention mechanism with the C2f structure from YOLOv8, improving the model’s focus on critical image regions and enhancing the detection of minor defects. We also introduce an elliptical Gaussian kernel for size regression loss, better representing the aspect ratio of rail defects. This approach enhances detection accuracy and speeds up training. Our model achieves a mean accuracy (mAP) of 0.952 on the rail defects dataset, outperforming other models with a 6.6% improvement over the original and a 35.5% increase in training speed. These results demonstrate the efficiency and reliability of our method for rail defect detection.

In this study, we propose a smart transfer planer equipped with multiple antenna arrays to improve ground links for low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication. The STP features a symmetrical structure and is strategically placed on both ends of a window, serving both indoor and outdoor environments. Using the window glass as a medium, energy transmission occurs through a coupling mechanism between the planers. The design focuses on large array antenna design, beamforming networks, and coupler design on both sides of the glass. Beamforming networks enable the indoor and outdoor antenna arrays to switch beams in various directions, optimizing high-gain antennas with narrow beamwidths. Through electromagnetic induction and filter couplers, a robust signal transmission channel is established between indoor and outdoor environments. This setup significantly enhances communication efficiency, particularly in non-line-of-sight environments.

This article presents an improved collaborative control to resist grid voltage unbalance for brushless doubly fed generator (BDFG)-based wind turbine (BDFGWT). The mathematical model of grid-connected BDFG including machine side converter (MSC) and grid side converter (GSC) in the αβ reference frame during unbalanced grid voltage condition is established. On this base, the improved collaborative control between MSC and GSC is presented. Under the control, the control objective of the whole BDFGWT system, including canceling the pulsations of electromagnetic torque and the unbalance of BDFGWT’s total currents, pulsations of BDFGWT’s total powers are capable of being realized; therefore, the control capability of BDFGWT to resist unbalanced grid voltage is greatly improved. Moreover, improved single-loop current controllers adopting PR regulators are proposed for both MSC and GSC where the sequence extractions for both MSC and GSC currents are not needed any more, and hence the proposed control is much simpler. In addition, the transient characteristics are also improved. Moreover, in order to achieve the decoupling control of current and average power, current controller also adopts the feedforward control approach. Case studies for a two MW BDFGWT system are implemented, and the results verify that the presented control is capable of effectively improving the control capability for BDFGWT to resist grid voltage unbalance and exhibit good stable and dynamic control performances.

In this study, we investigated the effects of the smell environment in the work booth on autonomic nervous activity (ANS) and psychomotor vigilance levels (PVLs) using linalool (LNL) and trans-2-nonenal (T2N). The subjects were six healthy males (31 ± 6 years old) and six healthy females (24 ± 5 years old). They sat in the work booth filled with the smells of LNL and T2N for 10 min, and their electrocardiograms (ECGs), skin conductance levels, pulse wave variabilities, skin temperatures, and seat pressure distributions were measured. In addition, the orthostatic load test (OLT) and psychomotor vigilance test (PVT) were performed before and after entering the work booth, and a subjective evaluation of the smell was also performed after the experiment. This paper focused on ECG and PVT data and analyzed changes in heart rate variability indices and PVT scores. Males felt slightly comfortable with the LNL smell and showed promoted sympathetic nerve activity in the OLT after the smell presentation. Females felt slightly uncomfortable with the T2N smell and showed promoted sympathetic nerve activity and a decrease in PVT scores in the OLT after the smell presentation. Gender differences were observed in ANS and PVLs, and it is possible that the comfort of LNL increased sympathetic nervous activity in males, while the uncomfortableness of T2N may have reduced work performance in females.
