In this paper, a zeta converter with a resistor-capacitor-diode (RCD) snubber and an H-type snubber to reduce switching and reverse-recovery losses is proposed. The proposed converter has the fol ... Read More

The large-capacity changes of the resistive and inductive loads of a ship generator at the same time will have a coupling effect on its vibration. To study the coupling mechanism of electromagnet ... Read More

Construction activity recognition can be improved using data fusion from multiple inertial sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, yet the number of accelerometers and gyroscopes and their ... Read More

Currently, commercially available systems for ship navigation and remote data transmission technology are maritime satellites and BeiDou satellite systems, the global positioning system (GPS), an ... Read More

Building on the basic views of synergy theory, we analyze the synergy mechanism between industrial agglomeration (the development of new clusters of industry) and urbanization (the increase in th ... Read More

To investigate the effect of music on emotion, the physiological responses to music were analyzed with respect to heart rate variability (HRV) using an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor. For the exp ... Read More

The processing cycle in an intelligent manufacturing machine (IMM) is difficult to predict accurately owing to uncertainties caused by unexpected maintenance errors and damage. Thus, a new method ... Read More

Low-density parity check (LDPC) codes have been gradually used in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) owing to their strong error-correcting ability, low coding complexity, and high decoding efficien ... Read More

The increasing demand for food has raised the profile of the agricultural sector. The Internet of Things (IoT) is an important technology that is capable of solving many problems in modern agricu ... Read More

Streamlines in a signal field are analyzed to describe the changes in the signal distribution of wireless sensors in this study. To generate streamlines effectively and efficiently with seed poin ... Read More

The microservice architecture is widely adopted in cloud computing and the applications of software as a service (SaaS), and it can solve problems that the traditional monolithic application deve ... Read More

Scenic vistas of Quanzhou are displayed in a 720° perspective as an immersive live 3D display to provide a real digitalized virtual reality experience. In this paper, we report our research on s ... Read More

In this paper, we propose a new method to improve the autonomous navigation of mobile robots. The new method combines a multistep update method with a double deep Q-network (MS-DDQN) to realize r ... Read More

It is critical to maintain jet fighter aircraft so that they are in the best flying condition. Among the various components of aircraft, the environmental control system is crucial as it provides ... Read More
