With the spread of Internet of Things (IoT) different radio communication-based technologies are gaining more attention, and their application in indoor localization problems where GPS signal is not available, becomes more and more relevant. This paper addresses the trilateration algorithm-based position estimation approach in indoor localization; this approach uses Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) value with the Free Space Path Loss (FSPL) model. Comprehensive laboratory measurements were performed with different radio communication-based technologies namely 433 MHz RSSI, 2.4 GHz WiFi RSSI, ultra-wideband (UWB) RSSI, and UWB Time of Flight (TOF). Then, numerical optimization using the Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to determine the parameters of the FSPL model for each anchor and each technology. This method enabled the utilization of trilateration to calculate the position of the measurement node. The obtained results show that the 433 MHz RSSI and the UWB TOF outperform the other two technologies. Using UWB TOF technology, the achieved accuracy was 165.97 cm. 433 MHz RSSI technology provided the second-best solution with 166.60 cm. WiFi RSSI provided 227.89 cm accuracy, while the worst case was obtained by UWB RSSI with 252.08 cm. The study experimentally validates that the most appropriate measurements are provided by UWB TOF and 433 MHz RSSI, which enables the implementation of these technologies in sensor fusion algorithms.

Managing anesthesia and hemodynamic regulation during surgical procedures poses significant challenges due to patient-specific variability and the complex interactions of administered drugs. While advanced monitoring systems and Target-Controlled Infusion (TCI) devices enhance precision in drug delivery, their reliance on manual adjustments limits real-time adaptability. This study investigates two advanced control strategies–centralized Model Predictive Control (MPC) and decentralized fractional-order control–within a multivariable framework designed to regulate hypnosis, analgesia, and hemodynamic stabilization. Virtual patient simulations were used to evaluate these approaches under diverse anesthetic and, notably, hemodynamic conditions. The findings reveal that MPC delivers superior precision in maintaining the Bispectral Index (BIS) but tends to apply more aggressive adjustments to hemodynamic variables. In contrast, fractional-order control ensures smoother responses, though its ability to handle disturbances is less robust in certain scenarios. This study highlights the trade-offs between these strategies and advocates for further exploration of hybrid solutions to enhance patient safety and surgical outcomes.

Blood pressure is one of the most vital signals characterizing the health status of the human body. Based on this physiological data, many current and future diseases can be detected. Therefore, having a device that can continuously measure blood pressure without a cuff or medical intervention would be highly beneficial. This study aims to investigate non-invasive blood pressure measurement with the help of a low-power microcontroller, namely STM32F446RE. These measuring methods are based on deep neural networks and utilize externally measured photoplethysmography (PPG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The performance of the proposed models is compared to similar solutions from the literature and inspected for memory usage and runtime. The results of this work show that a convolutional layer-based model can be used for proper blood pressure estimation in such an energy-efficient device.

Application of Robust Control Toolbox for Time Delay Systems implemented in the Matlab system to the oscillating plant with uncertain time delay using the D-K iteration and algebraic approach. The algebraic approach combines the structured singular value, algebraic theory and algorithm of global optimization solving remaining issues in structured singular value framework. The algorithm of global optimization can be alternated with direct search methods such as Nelder-Mead simplex method giving solutions for problems with one local extreme. As a global optimization method, Differential Migration is used proved to be reliable in solving this type of problems. The D-K iteration represents a standard method in the structured singular value theory. The results obtained from the D-K iteration are compared with the algebraic approach.

The general scope the present model-based research is to analyse climate-neutral scenarios for Europe and to assess the respective resilience of the energy system. Two scenarios are therefore examined, one with an unrestricted global hydrogen market and the other with improved European energy resilience that limits pipeline imports of hydrogen from non-European countries. Key findings include increasing electrification of the heat and transport sectors, widespread use of Power-to-X appliances and, as a result, a doubling of total electricity consumption in Europe. On the power generation side, there is a need for massive expansion of renewables such as wind and photovoltaics. The analysis shows that a more resilient energy system will require additional electrolysis capacity, hydrogen storage and hydrogen grid capacity. The marginal cost of hydrogen will also increase as a result, and a higher price level will subsequently reduce the demand for hydrogen. The overall conclusion is that a transition from fossil fuels to renewables will, in any case, make the energy system much less dependent on imports and thus more resilient.

Due to the transformation of the power system, the effective use of flexibility from the distribution system (DS) is becoming crucial for efficient network management. Leveraging this flexibility requires interoperability among stakeholders, including Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and Distribution System Operators (DSOs). However, data privacy concerns among stakeholders present significant challenges for utilizing this flexibility effectively. To address these challenges, we propose a machine learning (ML)-based method in which the technical constraints of the DSs are represented by ML models trained exclusively on non-sensitive data. Using these models, the TSO can solve the optimal power flow (OPF) problem and directly determine the dispatch of flexibility-providing units (FPUs)—in our case, distributed generators (DGs)-in a single round of communication. To achieve this, we introduce a novel neural network (NN) architecture specifically designed to efficiently represent the feasible region of the DSs, ensuring computational effectiveness. Furthermore, we incorporate various PQ charts rather than idealized ones, demonstrating that the proposed method is adaptable to a wide range of FPU characteristics. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed method, we benchmark it against the standard AC-OPF on multiple DSs with meshed connections and multiple points of common coupling (PCCs) with varying voltage magnitudes. The numerical results indicate that the proposed method achieves performant results while prioritizing data privacy. Additionally, since this method directly determines the dispatch of FPUs, it eliminates the need for an additional disaggregation step. By representing the DSs technical constraints through ML models trained exclusively on nonsensitive data, the transfer of sensitive information between stakeholders is prevented. Consequently, even if reverse engineering is applied to these ML models, no sensitive data can be extracted. This allows
