Solid-state Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs) have emerged as versatile photodetectors, playing a pivotal role in cutting-edge technologies such as photon counting, timing, and imaging. Their exceptional characteristics — high timing resolution, fast response, high gain, excellent quantum efficiency, and immunity to magnetic fields — make them a compelling alternative to traditional Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs). SPADs' unique ability to detect single photons, combined with their digital output and compact size, has positioned them as a superior choice for a wide range of applications in engineering, environmental monitoring, and healthcare. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of SPAD technology, focusing on its design principles, performance metrics, and applications. We begin by exploring the fundamental operating principles of SPADs and their key performance metrics. Next, we examine various SPAD structures across different technology nodes, offering a comparative analysis to highlight the latest advancements. Based on our review, we identify several techniques to enhance SPAD performance, including: doping profile engineering, such as using high-voltage layers and doping compensation layers, upgrading optical stacks, and integration of high-speed front-end circuitry. We then introduce application-specific figures-of-merit and assess their relevance to the reviewed structures. Additionally, we address emerging trends in SPAD design, such as leveraging mask layer technology to achieve significant advancements. Finally, we conclude with an overview of research challenges, potential solutions, and future directions in SPAD technology, providing valuable insights to drive further innovations in this dynamic field.

With the advent of rigorous membrane research and development in the middle of the 20th century, more wastewater plants started incorporating Membrane BioReactors (MBR) in their design. However, being a membrane system, the MBR is subject to fouling which may lead to maintenance and cleaning costs. In this paper, a fouling monitoring and prediction tool has been designed in MATLAB\Simulink. The model takes states related to membrane fouling, and calculates the membrane total resistance based on deterministic and stochastic models. The tool is capable of predicting future transmembrane pressure (TMP) cycles based on older TMP performance via an artificial neural network algorithm. TMP data have been synthetically generated from a validated mathematical model. Finally, an artificial neural network controller is implemented to control temperature and Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids (MLSS) around their desired setpoints. The controller is able to minimize disturbances in both states in a narrow band around their desired setpoints.

This paper presents a voltage control method for active distribution systems, which is based on the operation of on-load tap changers of the distribution transformers, in conjunction with a demand response program. Both on-load tap changers and demand response operations are initiated when pre-determined voltage criteria are fulfilled, making the approach completely decentralized. Several scenarios considering time-varying consumption of loads and variable electricity production from distributed generation units are simulated. The proposed voltage control method is tested against those scenarios, whereas also severe contingencies, such as the sudden loss of a distributed generation unit, are additionally considered. The simulation results show that the proposed method efficiently controls voltage within the permissible distribution levels, even under extreme system conditions.

Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) based underwater optical wireless communications (UOWCs), a technology with low latency and high data rates, have attracted significant importance for underwater robots. However, maintaining a controlled line of sight link between transmitter and receiver is challenging due to the constant movement of the underlying optical platform caused by the dynamic uncertainties of the LED model and vibration effects. Additionally, the alignment angle required for tracking is not directly measured and has to be estimated. Besides, the light scattering propagates beam pulse in water temporally, resulting in nonlinearities and time-varying underwater optical links with interference and introducing challenges in the estimation problem. In this paper, we address the state estimation problem by designing a Luenberger observer for the LED communication system that provides the angular position and velocity state information involved in the challenges of maintaining a controlled LOS optical wireless communication. In this line, we leverage the power of deep learning-based observer design to estimate the state of the LED communication model online. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the performance of the data-driven LED state estimation.
