In order to facilitate the adoption of Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) by the industry, it is necessary to develop tools to integrate legacy systems with TSN. In this article, we propose a solution for the coexistence of different time domains from different legacy systems, each with its corresponding synchronization protocol, in a single TSN network. To this end, we experimentally identified the effects of replacing the communications subsystem of a legacy Ethernet-based network with TSN in terms of synchronization. Based on the results, we propose a solution called TALESS (TSN with Legacy End-Stations Synchronization). TALESS can identify the drift between the TSN communications subsystem and the integrated legacy devices (end-stations) and then modify the TSN schedule to adapt to the different time domains to avoid the effects of the lack of synchronization between them. We validate TALESS through both simulations and experiments on a prototype. We demonstrate that thanks to TALESS, legacy systems can synchronize through TSN and even improve features such as their reception jitter or their integrability with other legacy systems.

This article presents the design and comprehensive multiphysics analysis of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) intended for small electric podded propulsion systems in marine applications. Minimizing vibration related to underwater radiated noise (URN) and ensuring thermal stability to allow prolonged continuous operation are crucial aspects of propulsion motor design. To reduce URN, particular attention is given to the stator vibration mode order, determined by the slot/pole combination (SPC) of the PMSM. Structure-borne noise analysis is used to evaluate the equivalent radiated power level of three designed PMSMs with different stator vibration mode orders. One-way multiphysics analysis using finite element analysis (FEA) is performed in a water environment for the finally-selected PMSM with pod housing structure. URN generated from the electromagnetic force is predicted by structural-acoustics analysis. Through lumped-parameter thermal network (LPTN) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses, it is proposed that, based on the cylindrical housing shape, the thermal stability of the podded propulsor can be evaluated using LPTN analysis instead of CFD analysis. A prototype motor is fabricated to validate the results obtained using FEA.

Retrieval of a product with desired modifications from a vast inventory of online industrial platforms is frequently encountered in our daily life. This study presents a specialized framework to retrieve user's queried product with its desired changes incorporated. To facilitate interaction between the end-user and agent in such scenarios, a multimodal content-based image retrieval system is essential. The system extracts textual and visual attributes, combining them through inductive learning to a unified representation. It is based on an in-depth understanding of visual characteristics that are modified by textual semantics. Lastly, a novel reverse reranking (RR) algorithm arranges the joint representation of dual modality queries and their corresponding target images for efficient retrieval. The proposed framework is novel compared to earlier methodologies. First, it achieves successful fusion of two different modalities. Second, it introduces a RR algorithm in the inference stage for efficient retrieval. The proposed framework's enhanced performance has been assessed using the Fashion-200 K and MIT-States real-world benchmark datasets. The proposed system can be used in real-world applications subject to its practical implications, such as generalization to diverse domains, availability of domain specific data, nature of the data and queries, and availability of computational resources.

Inverse model predictive control (IMPC) is a control technique that was recently proposed for power electronic converters. IMPC inherits the advantages of model predictive control (MPC) in terms of ability to handle complex and nonlinear systems and achieving multiple control objectives, while adhering to various constraints. Unlike MPC, IMPC offers a significantly reduced computational burden by omitting the iterative computations of the cost functions and states predictions. Nevertheless, both IMPC and MPC rely significantly on the dynamic model of the power converter. This makes them susceptible to uncertainties and disturbances. This article presents a novel technique to enhance the reliability and robustness of the IMPC for electric vehicle chargers by treating the converter's dynamic model as a black box. Then, an adaptive estimation strategy employing a recursive least square algorithm is proposed for online dynamic model estimation, which is then used by the IMPC for optimal switching states prediction. The key benefit of the proposed technique is the utilization of an accurate and real-time estimated dynamic model, which facilitates a reliable states prediction by the IMPC. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is demonstrated through extensive simulations and experimental validation for a three-phase three-level T-type rectifier.

In a multitude of industrial and biomedical applications, the need for arbitrary waveform generators is essential, serving the purpose of load characterization and excitation, among others. Historically, these generators have had limitations in terms of voltage, current, and frequency output, primarily related with constraints associated with the power devices and circuit topologies. However, notable advancements in semiconductor technology have introduced a new era, enabling the creation of highly versatile waveform generators capable of superior performance, and extended operational capabilities. In this article, a versatile AWG based on switched modules is proposed. In contrast to the previous ones, whose implementation was based on linear amplifiers, it enables arbitrary waveform generation, higher efficiency, and very low output impedance. In addition, it is also presented as a novelty that the voltage in each of the modules is different, following a digital to analog converter (DAC) structure, which allows us to obtain a lower total harmonic distortion (THD) in the output waveform than with conventional methods. The design will take advantage of wide band gap devices to be able to switch in the MHz range to achieve a high bandwidth. Furthermore, in addition to the design and implementation of a high-performance generator, a comparative analysis between the conventional and the proposed DAC-based modulation pattern is performed based on a comparative analysis of the THD and switching losses.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is key in civil engineering because of the importance and the aging of the infrastructure. We argue that applying leading-edge, data-driven methods of large-scale complex industrial systems may be beneficial, particularly for accuracy and responsiveness. A fundamental step concerns the identification of the best tools to extract meaningful information from the vibrational raw signals. To this end, we study the application of two convolutional neural network architectures that have emerged in the literature for efficient feature extraction from time series, namely WaveNet and MINImally RandOm Convolutional KErnel Transform (MiniRocket). The test bench is the Z24 bridge progressive damage test classification dataset. Results show that a model based on WaveNet reaches state-of-the-art performance, also reducing model size and computational complexity. WaveNet proves perfectly suited to interpret the bridge vibration waveforms directly in the time domain, without any specific preprocessing. On the other hand, MiniRocket excels for ease of configuration (only two hyperparameters are to be tweaked), overall training efficiency, and model size, lending itself as a valuable agile alternative (e.g., for rapid prototyping). Our main advancement is, thus, the identification and characterization of highly effective feature extraction methods, employable in different SHM tasks. We have assessed the performance of the models on two embedded platforms, proposing a smart sensor system where a local hub collects the signals from a constellation of inertial sensors and infers damage assessment onsite, allowing the bridge to self-assess its health state without resorting to connectivity nor cloud resources.

The active neutral-point-clamped five-level converter has drawn much attention in industrial applications. However, common-mode voltage (CMV) suppression, accurate track current, fixed switching frequencies, neutral-point (NP) voltage balance, and flying capacitor (FC) voltage are compulsory in this configuration. Thus, an improved multiobjective model-predictive control (IMMPC) without weighting factors is proposed in this article. First, to suppress CMV, only 61 low-CMV vectors out of 125 vectors were selected. Second, to ensure current tracking performance and reduce computational burden, based on the gh
