Abstract: A miniaturized pneumatic finger allows for safer grasping without damaging the surface of an object. A flexible strain sensor was developed and embedded in a miniaturized pneumatic finger to ...

Abstract: With the developments and applications of the new information technologies, such as cloud computing, Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, a smart manufacturing era is ...

Abstract: In this paper, a hybrid switched-capacitor/switched-quasi-Z-source bidirectional dc–dc converter is proposed for electric vehicles (EVs) with hybrid ...

Abstract: This paper presents a harmonic instability analysis method using state-space modeling and participation analysis in the inverter-fed ac power systems. A full-order state-space model for the ...

Abstract: The inspection of insulators and their defects is of great significance for ensuring the safety and stability of power system. Small sample is one of the main issues of insulator defect ...

Abstract: Due to the growing demand on renewable energy, photovoltaic (PV) generation systems have increased considerably in recent years. However, the power output of PV systems is affected by ...

Abstract: The adaptive fuzzy control method has been widely used in the control of nonlinear systems. The system state is required to stay in a compact set for the effectiveness of the fuzzy logic ...

Abstract: The triple phase shift (TPS) modulation scheme, which provides three control freedoms, is of great importance for the optimized operation of a dual active bridge (DAB) isolated bidirectional ...

Abstract: The DeLone and McLean (D&M) information systems (IS) success model seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of IS success by identifying and explaining the relationships among their ...

Abstract: The development of new technologies and their expanding use in a wide range of educational environments are driving the transformation of higher education. Assistive technologies are cutting ...

In this paper, we propose a simple but effective image prior-dark channel prior to remove haze from a single input image. The dark channel prior is a kind of statistics of outdoor haze-free images. It ...

Abstract: The regional integration of variable wind power could be restricted by a strong coupling of electric power generation dispatch and heat supply of combined heat-and-power (CHP) units. The ...
