Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a noncontact automatic identification technology that has been widely used in various modern industries. Due to the continuous improvement in sensing capa ... Read More

A wireless mesh network (WMN) combines the advantages of the traditional wireless local access network (WLAN), such as low cost and easy deployment, with the multi-hop architecture of its wireles ... Read More

Polycrystalline silicon wafers are the main sources of solar cells. In this study, we used numerical analysis to optimize the growth of polycrystalline silicon ingots in a directional solidificat ... Read More

Toward solving some of the problems of low precision, poor stability, and complex calculation in the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) of mobile robots, an improved cubature Kalman fil ... Read More

We used a numerical analysis method to find the effect of the Ar flow rate on the silicon ingot growth in a directional solidification system (DSS) and to find the optimal Ar flow rate for the gr ... Read More

The traditional distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), which is constructed with multiperiod films with alternating low and high refractive indices, has a low full width at half maximum (FWHM), but b ... Read More

The multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff index of a connected graph is defined as the sum of the product of the resistance distances between all pairs of points and the degrees of corresponding point ... Read More

Esophageal and gastric cancers are common malignant tumors. In medicine, it is difficult to differentiate the sickness symptoms of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), esophageal squamous cell carcin ... Read More

This paper presents a comparison between two different snubbers of a boost converter for achieving soft-switching features. To obtain high current capability and high conversion efficiency, a boo ... Read More

Rotor stability is an important index of the performance of a magnetically levitated blood pump. In this study, we developed a novel nutation blood pump using a passive magnetic spherical bearing ... Read More

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are the main delivery vehicle for the horizontal transport of containers between the quayside and yard of automated container terminals (ACTs). The coordination o ... Read More

In this paper, a simple user-aided, robust, and high-quality fast shadow removal method is proposed. Firstly, an instant learning method is used to remove the shadow of an image, guided by input ... Read More
