In this article, an iterative optimization algorithm is proposed to design biplanar coils, which is used for dynamic magnetoencephalography to compensate for residual fields in the magnetic shielding room. The effects of magnetic shielding layers and plane's side length on the uniformity are both considered for designing coils. The iterative calculation is used to minimize the side length of the coil plane. The biplanar coils with 1.3-m side length are designed, which consist of three homogeneous-field coils (B-x,B-y and B-z coils and five gradient-field coils dB(x)/dy, dB(x)/dz, dB(y)/dy, dB(y)/dz, rm and dB(z)/dz coils . The coil system can produce homogeneous and gradient fields within 1% error over the volume of 40 cm x 40 cm x 40 cm. Through active magnetic shielding, the central field inside the magnetic room is reduced from 7.56 to 0.17 nT, and standard deviation from the mean value in the target area falls from 1.366 to 0.177 nT. The dynamic auditory stimulation experiment proves that the biplanar coil system will improve the quality of the evoked signals.

The adoption of pure component models, such as iterativeoptimization technology (IOT) algorithms, is gaining significant interest in the pharmaceutical industry, primarily because of their calibration-free/minimal calibration requirements for process analytical technology applications. The IOT methods have recently demonstrated great potential for monitoring the quality of continuous powder mixtures by near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. However, the dynamic conditions of continuous manufacturing processes may limit the effectiveness of such approaches. Density variations introduced to NIR spectra that are collected from dynamic powder mixtures at different process conditions is detrimental to the drug prediction accuracy and robustness of IOT methods. This work introduces a new method, called external variable augmented iterativeoptimization technology (EVA-IOT), which incorporates the shape of non-chemical external sources of variability into the pure component spectra matrix to improve the prediction accuracy and robustness of the base IOT algorithm. This approach derives the shape of non-chemical external variables from the latent structure of decomposition methods using NIR spectra acquired from a single mixture at known levels of the external variable. A density-augmented EVA-IOT method was developed and implemented to quantify the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in continuous powder mixtures flowing at varying process conditions in a simulated continuous process. The EVA-IOT method demonstrated a significantly enhanced API prediction accuracy and robustness against process variation compared to alternative IOT methods. The overall prediction performance of EVA-IOT was comparable to that of global partial least square (PLS) regression models while reducing the calibration burden up to 97%. This makes EVA-IOT a material-sparing alternative to calibration-intensive robust decomposition modeling approaches for monitoring the quality of continuous pharmaceu

Open pit mining is an effective way to extract valuable minerals from the earth's crust and generate significant profits for mining companies, however it also causes significant environmental harm to vast tracts of land and the surrounding ecosystems. However, the maximization of economic benefits is still the overall objective of optimizing open pit mine design, while environmental issues have been ignored in attempts to achieve more sustainable mine development. Therefore, estimating ecological costs of mining and considering such costs in the mine design process is an important step towards reducing ecological consequences at the design stage. The aim of the study is to calculate the ecological costs of open-pit coal mining and analyze how these costs affect the ultimate pit delineate. The ecological costs associated with coal mining are calculated according to the carbon emissons from energy consumption and the scope of grassland destroyed by resource extraction. There are three key components of ecological cost that have been identified: ecological service value loss, reclamation cost, and carbon emission cost. Necessary equations are provided for estimating these costs. An iterative optimization algorithm is described for ultimate pit optimization in coal deposits with near-horizontal coal seams. A case study is presented in which the ultimate pits are optimized by both with and without considering ecological costs, and compared to prove the impact of ecological costs on the ultimate pit design.

This paper analyses the position error compensation in quadrature analog magnetic encoders through the iterative linear search optimizationalgorithm of "steepest descent". In current literature, the sine/cosine signals from the encoder are compensated considering only the gain mismatch, the DC offset components and the non-orthogonality. Nevertheless, the magnetic field distortion due to the non-homogeneity of the magnet and the distortion of the signals due to the mechanical misalignment between the rotation axis of the motor shaft, the magnet center and the chip sensor are generally neglected. In this work, all of these factors are taken into account. The results show that a higher order approximation for modeling the harmonic distortion contained in the encoder signals leads to a slight biasing in the convergence of the compensating parameters. However, the unconstrained and multivariate optimizationalgorithm of steepest descent fairly minimizes the error from the objective function F(X_n) allowing achieve a compensation efficiency of up to 66%, thus increasing the overall accuracy of this kind of magnetic encoders and improving the performance of any application where they provide rotary position feedback.

To improve the operational efficiency of Bike Sharing Systems (BSSs), predicting users' real demand plays an essential role. Previous demand predictions have heavily relied on the historical rides (explicit demand) recorded in the BSS management information system. Since there are no bikes available for rent, users' unfulfilled ride expectations (implicit demand) cannot be captured in the system. This paper presents an approach for simulating station-level availability and predicting transfers for BSS. Firstly, the (s, S) inventory strategy combined with an iterativeoptimization-seeking algorithm to improve the existing simulation model. Then, the K-means method is used to cluster the similarity among stations. The transfer prediction uses source data to aid the learning of target data quickly. Finally, a real case study is conducted to validate the practicability. The simulation experiment indicates that it is possible to estimate the maximum percentage of underestimation of real demand at a station. Through regression analysis, this paper investigates the complex nonlinear relationship between the percentage underestimation of real demand and the easily accessible implicit demand influencing factors. In practical applications, managers can use this method to optimize the number of bikes placed for BSSs.

This paper establishes a fundamental connection between the local time invariance of motion parameters and dead reckoning (DR) accuracy. This insight enables the reformulation of navigation parameter estimation as a convex optimization problem solvable through our novel Eight-Branch Pseudoinverse Gradient Descent Method (8B-PGDM). This method addresses non-cooperative positioning challenges in sparse-sensor regimes, particularly enabling real-time trajectory prediction when facing intermittent measurements (e.g., <5 Hz sampling rates) or persistent signal blockages. This method achieves an excellent estimation accuracy with only three samplings and an prediction MSE of 0.7906, significantly better than traditional dead reckoning (DR) methods. This approach effectively mitigates the impact of data scarcity, enabling robust and accurate trajectory predictions in challenging environments.

Compliant amplifying mechanisms are used widely in high-precision instruments driven by piezoelectric actuators, and the dynamic and static characteristics of these mechanisms are closely related to instrument performance. Although the majority of existing research has focused on analysis of their static characteristics, the dynamic characteristics of the mechanisms affect their response speeds directly. Therefore, this paper proposes a comprehensive theoretical model of compliant-amplifying mechanisms based on the multi-body system transfer matrix method to analyze the dynamic and static characteristics of these mechanisms. The effects of the main amplifying mechanism parameters on the displacement amplification ratio and the resonance frequency are analyzed comprehensively using the control variable method. An iterative optimization algorithm is also used to obtain specific parameters that meet the design requirements. Finally, simulation analyses and experimental verification tests are performed. The results indicate the feasibility of using the proposed theoretical compliant-amplifying mechanism model to describe the mechanism's dynamic and static characteristics, which represents a significant contribution to the design and optimization of compliant-amplifying mechanisms.

Downlink beamforming is a key technology for cellular networks. However, computing beamformers that maximize the weighted sum rate (WSR) subject to a power constraint is an NP-hard problem. The popular weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE) algorithm converges to a local optimum but still exhibits considerable complexity. In order to address this trade-off between complexity and performance, we propose to apply deep unfolding to the WMMSE algorithm for a MU-MISO downlink channel. The main idea consists of mapping a fixed number of iterations of the WMMSE into trainable neural network layers. However, the formulation of the WMMSE algorithm, as provided in Shi et al., involves matrix inversions, eigendecompositions, and bisection searches. These operations are hard to implement as standard network layers. Therefore, we present a variant of the WMMSE algorithm i) that circumvents these operations by applying a projected gradient descent and ii) that, as a result, involves only operations that can be efficiently computed in parallel on hardware platforms designed for deep learning. We demonstrate that our variant of the WMMSE algorithm convergences to a stationary point of the WSR maximization problem and we accelerate its convergence by incorporating Nesterov acceleration and a generalization thereof as learnable structures. By means of simulations, we show that the proposed network architecture i) performs on par with the WMMSE algorithm truncated to the same number of iterations, yet at a lower complexity, and ii) generalizes well to changes in the channel distribution.

This article investigates the hybrid sliding mode control problem for the uncertain Markovian jump systems (MJSs) via the transition rates optimal design. The stability condition for the transition rates is first established to ensure the exponential mean-square (EMS) stability of the unforced uncertain MJSs. Then the hybrid design strategy on the sliding mode controller and transition rate matrix is presented to ensure the EMS stability of the controlled system. Moreover, the iterative optimization algorithms are developed to acquire the desirable transition rates, control gain, and decay rate sigma. Finally, some numerical simulation results are provided.
