Measuring the mechanical properties of lithium-ion battery films, such as thickness and elasticity, is important for predicting and improving homogeneity of the films and subsequent performance of the battery. Problems with film heterogeneity could be identified and addressed early on through accurate, non-destructive inspection of the electrode as it is being manufactured. This research investigates the use of acoustic measurements as an alternative means of non-destructive quality control that could be adapted for on-line use. Here we report on our efforts to distinguish among films with different mechanical properties using acoustic resonances. A clamped film is excited using a pulsed infrared laser to produce an acoustic resonance in a confined area, and a microphone measures the acoustic response. Because the resonance depends on properties such as thickness and density, the resonance frequency shifts with changes in these properties. As the thickness increases, the resonance frequency decreases. These results show that acoustic tests can demonstrate observable differences between films with different properties.

In this article, the issues of improving the efficiency are considered. The aim of the work is to determine the benefits of using the PMSM-drive for the gasoil pump unit. Firstly, the object of study is selected. Secondly, the pump power consumption is analyzed. Then, energy optimization options are calculated. The method for determining power consumption parameters is a mathematical calculation. As a result, the object power characteristics are built. The pump energy consumption is calculated, the low efficiency of the pumping unit is determined. The efficiency may be increased by using PMSM-drive.

Temperature compensation in structural health monitoring helps identify damage in a structure by removing data variations due to environmental conditions, such as temperature. Stretch-based methods are one of the most commonly used temperature compensation methods. To account for variations in temperature, stretch-based methods optimally stretch signals in time to optimally match a measurement to a baseline. All of the data is then compared with the single baseline to determine the presence of damage. Yet, for these methods to be effective, the measurement and the baseline must satisfy the inherent assumptions of the temperature compensation method. In many scenarios, these assumptions are wrong, the methods generate error, and damage detection fails. To improve damage detection, a multi-measurement damage detection method is introduced. By using each measurement in the dataset as a baseline, error caused by imperfect temperature compensation is reduced. The multi-measurement method increases the detection effectiveness of our damage metric, or damage indicator, over time and reduces the presence of additional peaks caused by temperature that could be mistaken for damage. By using many baselines, the variance of the damage indicator is reduced and the effects from damage are amplified. Notably, the multi-measurement improves damage detection over single-measurement methods. This is demonstrated through an increase in the maximum of our damage signature from 0.55 to 0.95 (where large values, up to a maximum of one, represent a statistically significant change in the data due to damage).

In 2006, Yu et al. presented a new cryptographic scheme based on delayed chaotic neural networks. However, Yang et al. found a fundamental flaw in Yu-Cao scheme by means of chosen plaintext attack in 2009. In this paper, a more effective method is described through the analysis of the Exclusive-or operation. As a result, it makes this cryptographic scheme insecure.

We discuss a simulation program for indoor visible light communication system with hexagonal LED array shape that will allow us to focus the luminance of optical light for the room center with neglecting of the boundary since they will be occupied by furniture. It is assumed that users will not be in those areas. We are going to model OOK, PPM and QAM modulation techniques with varied semi-angle degrees, as a result we want to prove with hexagonal shape we could make and uniform luminance in the room. MATLAB and Simulink will be used for simulation.

Ultrasound imaging is safe, relatively affordable, and capable of real-time performance. This technology has been used for real-time visualization and analyzing the functionality of human organs such as human tongue shape and motion during a real-time speech to study healthy or impaired speech production. Due to the noisy nature of ultrasound images with low-contrast characteristic, it might require expertise for non-expert users to recognize tongue shapes. To alleviate this difficulty and for quantitative analysis of tongue shape and motion, tongue surface can be extracted, tracked, and visualized instead of the whole tongue region. The progress of deep convolutional neural networks has been successfully exploited in various computer vision tasks. This paper presents two novel deep neural network models named BowNet and wBowNet benefits from the ability of global prediction of decoding-encoding models from integrated multi -scale-contextual information and the capability of full-resolution (local) extraction of dilated convolutions. Experimental results using ultrasound tongue image datasets from different ultrasound devices revealed that the combination of both localization and globalization searching could improve prediction result significantly. Assessment of BowNet models in real-time using both qualitatively and quantitatively studies showed their outstanding achievements in terms of accuracy and robustness in comparison with similar techniques.
