In this paper, an approach to augment action recognition time series datasets, devoted to improving the accuracy of deep learning classifiers, is proposed. In the introduced method, two operators are sequentially introduced that perform linear and nonlinear modifications in the time scale of the input time series. The resulting data samples contribute to the variability within classes and allow a deep learning-based classifier to better capture their boundaries, leading to a significant improvement in the classification accuracy. The extensive experiments performed on eight publicly available action recognition datasets using the popular Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) classifier reveal the superiority of the proposed algorithm over related approaches.
This paper presents a new non-iterative LMI-based design method for static output feedback controllers for linear systems. The proposed design method is derived from the well-known necessary and sufficient condition f...

In-field test of microprocessors is a major topic for the industry, especially in the safety-critical domain, where the respective standards mandate high test coverage thresholds. The dominant fault models used are the transition delay and the stuck-at fault model. However, the adoption of very advanced semiconductor technologies to manufacture devices used in safety-critical applications pushes toward considering new fault models that are better suited to catch subtle and age-related defects. Among the other phenomena, latent cell-internal defects emerged as relevant causes for several failures. Hence, the necessity for the Cell-Aware Test (CAT) was born, and the inclusion of the CAT fault model in the latest safety standards. Although CAT amends the issue of the numerous test escapes, it may suffer as well from the presence of functionally untestable faults that may pollute the overall test efficiency with their presence. In this paper, we propose a solution, based on formal methods, for the automatic identification of functionally untestable faults under the Cell-Aware fault model for the case where the DUT is a fully pipelined processor. As a case study, we used the RISC-V processor RI5CY for which we applied the minimum constraints required to ensure a functional behavior to demonstrate the effectiveness and impact of the approach. With the considered constraints, a significant percentage of functionally untestable faults was located in the several modules within the processor. Furthermore, the method allows to flexibly take into account any constraint stemming from the system configuration and the application. The obtained results have been validated by resorting to commercial EDA tools.

Fast calculation is the major advantage of the subdomain analytical modeling of electrical Machines when compared to Finite Element modeling (FEM). However, for some permanent magnet (PM) arrangements inconsistent to a single coordinate, the FEM is more accurate and so more trusted. In this research a fast subdomain approximation of brushless electrical machines with spoke-hub PMs on rotor is developed for calculation of the rotor and stator fields and the resulted torque. Comparison with FEM results shows that for common arrangements of rectangle and arc-formed PMs, the two-dimensional (2-D) analytic modeling can accurately calculate electromagnetic quantities and the electromagnetic torque.

The paper presents a novel observer design method for estimating the front and rear wheel slips of the vehicle. The proposed observer design technique consists of two parts: A simple linear observer algorithm, which uses a reformulated lateral vehicle model to estimate the tire slips. The second part is based on an ultra-local model. The main goal of the ultra-local model is to eliminate the nonlinear, unmodeled, uncertain dynamics of the lateral vehicle model. In this way, the performance level of the linear observer can be significantly increased especially under critical circumstances such as high lateral acceleration maneuvers or driving on a low µ surface. The proposed observer algorithm is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink environment connected to the high-fidelity simulation software, CarMaker. The operation and the effectiveness of the proposed observer are demonstrated through several simulation examples.

Analysing workplace accidents is crucial for improving occupational safety by understanding causes and preventing recurrence. However, the primary challenge in analysing accident narratives lies in the unstructured nature of the text data. This study examines the effectiveness of Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically GPT-4 Turbo, in extracting information from lockout/tagout (LOTO) accident narratives in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) database. It compares the extracted features, namely the degree of fatality, nature of injury, and employee’s occupation, with those recorded by OSHA supervisors. Despite occasional misclassifications and hallucinations, GPT-4 Turbo shows significant potential in automating critical information extraction, reducing reliance on human interpretation. Moreover, the model achieved high accuracy rates for each feature. These findings suggest that LLMs can enhance occupational safety data analysis, though improvements in prompt design and verification are recommended for further accuracy.

This paper presents a control structure featuring an operator
$Q$
driven by the residual signal, which indicates the difference between the measurement output and the estimated output from an observer. The form of this observer is very general, as long as it can generate the estimated state or relevant information that will be incorporated into this control structure. The operator
$Q$
introduces an extra design freedom to address uncertainties, such that linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) can be interpreted as a special case in the Q-structure when a linear extended state observer is used.
