Integrated onboard battery charging (IOBC) is an emerging technology that utilizes the same circuitry used for propulsion to charge the battery packs of an electric vehicle (EV). Multiphase machines are the better choice for IOBC owing to their high current, fault-tolerant capability, and reduced modification requirements to achieve zero average torque. In this digest, a six-phase interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) was specially designed for the propulsion and IOBC of an e-Golf. Two different winding configurations, i.e., dual three-phase and asymmetrical, were tested for propulsion and IOBC. In both cases, zero average torque in charging mode was ensured. A predictive current control algorithm was used to charge the battery using constant current. Furthermore, the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) mode was also tested using both winding configurations, and the results were compared. The simulation was carried out using finite element analysis and MATLAB Simulink. The simulation results are verified using a 15 kW IPMSM hardware-in-loop-based control system and power grid emulator.

In this paper, a new StrongARM latch comparator design has been proposed for low-power high-speed applications. The proposed design improves the energy consumption and propagation delay when compared to the previous designs in the literature. The proposed design is post-layout simulated in TSMC 65 nm technology node and it achieves a low energy consumption of 19.31 fJ per operation and a low propagation delay of 211 ps. Moreover, the proposed design shows a highly favorable input offset voltage of 0.56 mV and achieves a maximum frequency of 8 GHz. Furthermore, the proposed design reduced the transistor stack that allows it to be used in the low-voltage supply application.

Estimating or predicting the concentrations of bacteria cells is crucial for achieving better control of the operation of wastewater treatment plants. However, measuring the bacterial concentration along the influent wastewater stage to the treated effluent process is challenging as it involves lab access and trained personnel. Additionally, wastewater plants are generally nonlinear systems involving time-varying physical and biological characteristics, increasing the difficulty in estimating the bacterial concentration from a model-based approach. This paper proposes data-driven models based on four machine-learning models to estimate the bacterial cell density with a limited dataset in a wastewater treatment plant. The performance results demonstrate that the machine-learning models (i.e., K-Nearest Neighbour (kNN), Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting Regression (GBR), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB)) have the potential to estimate accurately the bacterial concentration. RF displays better bacteria estimation in the influent by 10.7% compared to GBR and 7.4% compared to XGB and kNN. Whereas for the effluent, XGB improved the estimation by 12.8%, 2.4%, 14.6% compared to GBR, RF, and kNN, respectively. Also, results show that conductivity as a single feature is the most significant parameter affecting the bacterial cell estimation in the influent stage for the four machine learning algorithms. Similarly, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and turbidity have pronounced effects in the effluent stage. These results reveal potential signs of designing a universal data-driven model-based approach applicable for bacteria estimation at influent and effluent based on the minimum feature combinations (conductivity, COD, and turbidity).

In this work, the charge trapping-based Gate All Around Transistor (GAA) technology is utilized for the artificial synapse due to its superior performance in terms of low power consumption and high speed. The controlling of state transformation of electronic synapses from short-term potentiation (STP) to long-term potentiation (LTP) is crucial. We have investigated the effect of metal gate workfunction and channel doping on state transformation by using a feedback mechanism (impact ionization). This mechanism regulates channel potentiation and the level of charge trapping in the nitride layer. Our simulation results indicate that this approach can effectively control the STP to LTP transition, while also achieving long STP retention and better dynamic range. This study presents a promising direction for developing advanced electronic devices based on charge-trapping-based GAA transistors.

The digital divide is a key issue worldwide. Almost 3 billion people, mainly in rural areas, are still not connected. In this paper, we explore the capability of high towers base station (HTBS) with massive multiple input multiple output (mMIMO) in offering low-cost rural connectivity. We previously showed the benefits of HTBS in the downlink. We focus in this work on the uplink (UL) where we compute the UL data rate per user for different values of transmit effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP). Our results show that the HTBS solution is viable as relatively good user UL rates are achieved with reasonable EIRPs. This is of high interest for covering rural areas, characterized by low population densities and a low number of active users, as the coverage is their main constraint, rather than the capacity as in urban areas. Techno-economical aspects such as the recommended frequency for HTBS, the number of covered persons, the average population density of covered rural areas, and potential low-cost locations for HTBS are provided. Non-technological challenges for the HTBS solution are also discussed.
