Light field (LF) technology captures information from multiple directions and angles, enabling precise disparity estimation. Recently, matching cost-based approaches have advanced rapidly and shown satisfactory results. However, these methods typically depend on fixed disparity candidates, leading to inadequate utilization of candidates and making them unsuitable for LF scenes with varying baselines. Multidirection line structures of epipolar-plane images (EPIs) associate multiple viewpoints, adaptively perceiving disparity ranges and accurately matching features in real scenes. In this article, we propose an adaptive EPI-matching cost (AEMC) for LF disparity estimation, which is proven to enhance the adaptability across datasets with varying baselines. Our approach calculates pixel-level disparity candidates to keep the predicted distribution near the ground truth (GT) and matches line structures to improve accuracy. Then, to enhance robustness during the adaptive process, we introduce an intra-EPI extraction module that dynamically establishes correlations in the local EPI while supplementing spatial information. Finally, we present a network named adaptive EPI-matching cost network (AEMCNet) for LF disparity estimation. Experimental results demonstrate that AEMCNet achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance and robustness on various LF datasets with different baselines. Specifically, on the sparse LF dataset, our method reduces the mean square error (mse) by 49.6%.

This study aims to enhance the energy output of a cantilever beam (CB) by employing an analytical approach centered on stiffness matching. First, a single spring with the simplest structure is used as the driving load, with the root, middle, and end of the CB as driving sources, establishing a multiposition driving model. Theoretical analysis and finite element simulations are then conducted to elucidate the correlation between the energy output at each driving position of the CB and the stiffness of the spring. Subsequently, in order to test and evaluate the external excitation performance of the CB, the load structure of which the output is easy to observe, test and quantify must be selected. A diaphragm volume pump (DVP) is, hence, chosen as the driving load instead of the spring. A CB-driven DVP structure is established, and dynamic model analysis and fluid-solid coupling simulation are conducted. Findings suggest that the optimal stiffness for the diaphragm to match with the CB decreases as the CB’s external output stiffness diminishes, irrespective of the CB’s operational mode. An experimental setup featuring the CB-driven DVP is constructed for empirical validation, and the experimental outcomes corroborate the simulation results.

Due to the operation conditions of variable loads, it is challenging to achieve high-accuracy fault diagnosis of power machinery. The attention mechanism is widely used in this issue because of its ability to capture domain-invariant features of vibration signals. However, when the problem is specific to thermal engine diagnosis, the attention collapse can be caused by the interaction between load patterns and fault patterns. Consequently, the deep features converge to decrease the network generalization. To address this issue, this research employs the ensemble learning of crowd intelligence strategy, which is opposite to the attention mechanism of elite strategy. A multidepth step-training convolutional neural network (MDNN) is proposed. The multidepth architecture enhances feature diversity, and the step-training feature ensemble incorporates features into decision-making, thus overcoming feature convergence. The MDNN is tested using two datasets: a light-duty rotor-bearing test rig (electromechanical system) and a heavy-duty diesel engine test rig (thermodynamic machinery). According to the results, for the load-varying diesel engine, the attention mechanism exacerbates feature convergence, whereas MDNN effectively mitigates it. Meanwhile, with the mixture of four engine loads, the diagnosis accuracy of the attention mechanism-based network falls sharply to 54.27% from 59.20%, while the MDNN rises to 95.46%. The results offer a promising method for load-varying fault diagnosis of thermodynamic machinery and give a comprehensive understanding of the importance of avoiding feature convergence in the prognostic diagnosis of diesel engines.

Entropy has long been a subject that has attracted researchers from a diverse range of fields, including healthcare, finance, and fault detection. Slope entropy (SE) has recently been proposed as a new approach to address the shortcomings of permutation entropy (PE), which ignores magnitude information; however, SE is sensitive to parameters $boldsymbol {gamma }$
