The continuous advancement of communication systems necessitates the development of algorithms capable of identifying and correcting errors that may arise during data transmission and storage. This pursuit of reliability is particularly crucial in critical systems and sectors that are challenging to access, such as space exploration, passenger transportation, and financial services. In this context, the Error Correction Code (ECC) is a fundamental tool for providing a certain degree of reliability to these systems. This research proposes a novel technique to enhance the error correction capacity of ECCs by leveraging region overlapping. Specifically, we propose correcting data areas protected by more than one ECC, which allows for the inference of logical correlations between ECCs, thereby augmenting their error detection and correction capability. Our focus is bidimensional codeword structures, commonly known as 2D-ECCs, which entail a hierarchical arrangement of ECCs. We evaluated the ECC proposal, comparing its error correction and detection capabilities. Through this evaluation, we aim to demonstrate the technique's efficacy in bolstering the reliability and resilience of communication systems, particularly in critical domains where precision and accuracy are paramount.

Individuals exhibit a propensity to move faster toward more rewarding stimuli. Although this phenomenon has been observed in movements, the effect of reward on implicit control of isometric actions, such as gripping or grasping, is relatively unknown. How reward-related invigoration generalizes to other effortful actions is an important question. Reward invigorates reaching movements and saccades, supporting the idea that reward pays the additional effort cost of moving faster. Effort in isometric force generation is less understood, so here we ask whether and how reward-related invigoration generalizes to isometric force gripping. And if so, what implicit characteristics of gripping change when there is a prospect of reward? Participants (n = 19) gripped a force transducer and the force applied was mapped to radial position of an onscreen cursor. Each trial, a target appeared in one of four locations;increasing grip force moved the cursor toward the target. The gripping action was interchangeable for all target positions. In each block of 100 trials, one target was consistently rewarded, whereas the other targets were not. When gripping to acquire the rewarded target, participants reacted faster, generated force more rapidly and to a greater extent, without increasing variance and without increasing the rising force-time integral. These findings support the generalization of reward-related invigoration in isometric force tasks, and that the brain exquisitely trades-off reward and effort costs to obtain reward more rapidly without increasing variance and without more effort costs than necessary. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Gripping actions are important for day-to-day tasks, for medical diagnostics like strength and force control, and for choice selection in decision-making experiments. Comparing isometric gripping responses to reward and nonreward cues, we observed reward-based invigoration mediated by selective increases in effort. These findings can be leveraged to provide

This paper proposed a novel landing platform with wireless power transfer (WPT) to charge multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) without restrictions on landing locations or alignment. A transmitter is designed using wires to charge a wide area. To overcome the disadvantages of system made by wires, a grid pattern transmitter and double power line are proposed. These structures provide multiple charging with free positioning of receivers and excite the transmitter lines in wide area properly. The optimized system is composed of 0.15m square cells, providing a 0.9 m by 0.9 m charging area. By experiment, it can efficiently charge four 0.1 m square receivers located anywhere in transmitter. The overall efficiency of four receivers is 37.5%. Also, the experimental results verify that it is unnecessary to align the receiver within the cell, as it has a 2.62% error due to rotation and a 2.94 % error due to position within the cell.

We present light extraction efficiency (LEE) improvement for InGaN red micro-light emitting diodes (micro-LEDs) of various sizes operating at low current densities. We compared the characteristics of micro-LEDs with indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent p-electrodes with conventional opaque metal p-electrodes. 50 µm × 50 µm micro-LEDs with ITO p-electrodes achieved a peak on-wafer external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 2.54% with an emission wavelength of 640 nm at a current density as low as 0.4 A/cm 2 . This represents a 1.18-fold improvement in peak EQE compared to devices with metal p-electrodes. Light ray tracing simulation confirmed that the ITO p-electrodes exhibit 1.18 times higher light escape than metal-based micro-LEDs, validating the role of enhanced light extraction. These findings provide valuable insights for advancing high-definition display and VR applications.

This article presents a method for indirectly measuring the moisture content of paddy using a cylindrical capacitive sensor combined with Charge Integrator Circuits. The moisture measurement device operates based on the principle of the dielectric constant of paddy, which changes according to the moisture content within them. The system consists of a moisture detection section utilizing a cylindrical capacitor, a signal generator operating at a frequency of 500 Hz with a microcontroller, a signal conditioning circuit converting the signal to voltage, and a processing unit. Testing was conducted with paddy at five different moisture levels, demonstrating the ability to accurately determine the moisture content of the rice. When compared to the commercially available PM-450TH moisture meter, the results showed a linear response across the measurement range, with an R 2 value of 0.9824 and an average error of 2.6%. This technology has the potential for further development and application to other types of seeds in the future.
