Convolutional LSTMs are widely used for spatiotemporal prediction. We study the effect of using different activation functions for two types of units within convolutional LSTM modules, namely gate units and non-gate units. The research provides guidance for choosing the best activation function to use in convolutional LSTMs for video prediction. Moreover, this paper studies the…

Combining state-of-the-art additive manufacturing technologies with structural optimization has the potential to produce geometrically complex multi-material components with integrated functionalities and desired structural behavior. In this article, the simulation-driven design process of a multi-material light-weight gripper with an integrated pneumatic bellows actuator is described. The design of the bellows structure is based on a previously…

A systematic study of wide bandgap (WBG) based light emitting diodes (LEDs) and photodiodes (PDs) were conducted for the assessment of modular integration of optoelectronic devices into power modules. The temperature dependence of the photoluminescence (PL) efficiency of Indium gallium nitride/Gallium nitride (InGaN/GaN) multiple quantum wells (MQWs) material was studied from 10 to 800 K.…

TSN is an attractive solution for latency-critical frame transmission built upon IEEE 802 architecture. Traffic scheduling and shaping in TSN aim to achieve bounded low latency and zero congestion loss. However, the most widespread solution (i.e. Time-Aware Shaper) requires a networkwide precision clock reference and only targets on cyclical traffic flows. This paper focuses on…

For mission-critical and time-sensitive navigation of autonomous vehicles, controller design must exhibit excellent tracking performance with respect to the speed of convergence to reference command and steady-state accuracy. In this article, a novel design integration of the neural network with the traditional control system is proposed to adaptively obtain optimized controller parameters resulting in improved…

There are more than 7billion people in the world where there are around 500 million people in the world who are denied from normal lifestyle due to physical and mental issue. It is completely fair to say that every person deserves to enjoy a normal lifestyle. While physically and mentally challenged people find suitable way…

During microwave heating of materials, the efficiency of microwave heating depends on the materials’ dielectric property, shapes and sizes of the material, materials’ position inside the applicator, operating frequency, level of input power, specific heat capacity, number and position of waveguide over the applicator, size and geometry of applicator etc. This paper examines the effects…

In this paper, Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) detection of spatially distributed targets embedded in compound Gaussian clutter with Inverse Gamma texture is addressed. By taking into account the fact that clutter parameters are unknown in practical situations, we propose mean level based on Lookup Tables detectors, that operate as a two-step approach, which consists…

Line start permanent magnet synchronous motor (LSPMSM) is one of the highest efficiency motors due to no rotor copper loss at synchronous speed and self-starting. LSPMSM has torque characteristics of both induction motor IM and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor-PMSM. Using Genetic Algorithm (GA) for balancing magnetic cost and for copper loss minimization, the magnetic sizes…

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has drawn significant research interest in recent years. In this paper, we investigate the information theoretic secrecy of a SWIPT system under Weibull fading channel. To be specific, we analyze the information security in the presence of an energy harvesting and information decoding eavesdropper. All links are subjected…

Pure Aluminium and its alloy are widely utilized in Engineering and Industrial applications due to certain significant properties such as softness, ductility, corrosion resistance, and high electrical conductivity which it possesses. Addition of an agro-waste based grain refiner to the melt can alter the characteristics positively or negatively. Therefore, the aim of this paper is…
