The results of theoretical researches of construction of a eddy-current defectoscope with a coupled measuring oscillatory circuit with a transformer coupling for the quality monitoring of welding seams of metal products are presented. This device can be used in eddy-current (electromagnetic) defectoscopy for automatic and manual control of metal products in cases where it is difficult to fix the gap between the laying-in eddy-current converter (inductance coil), which contains the measuring oscillatory circuit, and the controlled surface of the ferromagnetic product. The main advantages of using coupling oscillatory circuits in the construction of resonance eddy-current defectoscopes are presented.

In this paper, we study the semi-global output containment control problem of a multi-agent system in the presence of actuator saturation over a directed network. The leader and follower agents are of different dynamics, and the follower agents are affected by disturbances generated by the leader agents through directed paths in the communication topology. The control objective of the output containment control is to drive the output trajectories of the follower agents to converge to the convex hull spanned by the outputs of the leader agents in the presence of disturbances. Low gain feedback containment protocols are constructed based on the output regulation approach and distributed observers. It is shown that semi-global output containment control can be achieved by the proposed protocols, if each follower agent is connected to at least one leader agent through a directed path in the communication topology. Simulation results verify the theoretical conclusions.

Soft robotics has advanced the field of biomedical engineering by creating safer technologies for interfacing with the human body. One of the challenges in this field is the realization of modular soft basic constituents and accessible assembly methods to increase the versatility of soft robots. We present a soft pneumatic actuator composed of two elastomeric strands that provide interdependent axial and radial expansion due to the modularity of the components and their helical arrangement. The actuator reaches 35% of elongation with respect to its initial height and both chambers achieve forces of 1N at about 19kPa. We describe the design, fabrication, modeling and benchtop testing of the soft actuator towards realizing 3D functional structures with potential medical applications. An example of application for soft medical robots is tissue regenerative for the long-gap esophageal atresia condition.

The study on the dynamics of interacting diseases has attracted considerable attention in recent years. This paper proposes a model for two interacting epidemics spreading concurrently on a two-layer network, where both the epidemic thresholds and the dynamics of disease outbreaks are investigated. The analytical expression of the epidemic threshold shows strong coupling between the two interacting epidemics. Moreover, two metrics, the maximum prevalence and the highest spreading speed, are proposed to describe the outbreak process. Theoretical analysis together with extensive simulations illustrate the functions of various factors, including the network topological parameters, percentage of overlapped network links, vulnerable individuals, and the reciprocity of the two diseases. It is found that the seemingly important factor, i.e., the percentage of overlapped links, possesses no effect on the propagation, while the frequently overlooked factor, i.e., the percentage of vulnerable individuals, has significant effects. For the interaction of the two diseases, the recovery state of one disease is more influential than the other in both the mutually enhanced and the mutually impaired situations.
