Optogenetic stimulation has opened up a new avenue to probe neuronal circuitry at high spatiotemporal resolutions. A key challenge in optogenetic stimulation is deciding which subset out of thousands of neurons should be stimulated to elicit a desired network activation or affect behavior. In this work, we introduce a reinforcement learning approach to adaptively narrow down the multitude of stimulation possibilities and robustly identify Granger causal networks that underlie neuronal activity. We use realistic simulations with different underlying circuitry to show the effectiveness of reinforcement learning in identifying an optimal policy for selecting stimulation targets.

The authors investigate the potential of pulsed power technology in recycling of E-waste. Applying the pulsed discharge can separate composite materials into plastic and metal. In this study, pulsed discharge was applied to indium tin oxide (ITO) coated plastic films. We used two electrode types: rod-to-rod electrode and a pair of flat plate electrodes to investigate the effect of electrode structure on the metal removal area in detail. A series of single pulse discharges were applied at various electrode distances. As a result, it was revealed that metal can be removed over a wide range by the pulsed discharge using a pair of flat plate electrodes. When the gap between the electrodes was 30 mm, the removal area by the flat plate electrodes was approximately 3.4 times that by the rod electrodes. Analysis of the current density also revealed that the metal removal area was greatly affected by the current density.

This paper presents a novel observer-based approach to detect and isolate faulty sensors in nonlinear systems. The proposed sensor fault detection and isolation (s-FDI) method applies to a general class of nonlinear systems. Our focus is on s-FDI for two types of faults: complete failure and sensor degradation. The key aspect of this approach lies in the utilization of a neural network-based Kazantzis-Kravaris/Luenberger (KKL) observer. The neural network is trained to learn the dynamics of the observer, enabling accurate output predictions of the system. Sensor faults are detected by comparing the actual output measurements with the predicted values. If the difference surpasses a theoretical threshold, a sensor fault is detected. To identify and isolate which sensor is faulty, we compare the numerical difference of each sensor measurement with an empirically derived threshold. We derive both theoretical and empirical thresholds for detection and isolation, respectively. Notably, the proposed approach is robust to measurement noise and system uncertainties. Its effectiveness is demonstrated through numerical simulations of sensor faults in a network of Kuramoto oscillators.

As distributed learning applications like Federated Learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Edge Computing expand, addressing their limitations becomes crucial. We approach decentralized learning across a network of communicating clients or nodes, focusing on two primary challenges: data heterogeneity and adversarial robustness. To address these, we introduce a decentralized minimax optimization method incorporating two key components: local updates and gradient tracking. Minimax optimization serves as a fundamental tool for adversarial training, ensuring robustness. Local updates are vital in Federated Learning (FL) to alleviate the communication bottleneck, while gradient tracking is necessary to demonstrate convergence amid data heterogeneity. Our analysis of the proposed algorithm, Dec-Fed Track, in nonconvex-strongly-concave minimax optimization demonstrates its convergence to a stationary point. Additionally, numerical experiments support our theoretical results.

In this paper, we consider the unconstrained distributed optimization problem, in which the exchange of information in the network is captured by a directed graph topology, thus, nodes can only communicate with their neighbors. Additionally, in our problem, the communication channels among the nodes have limited bandwidth. In order to alleviate this limitation, quantized messages should be exchanged among the nodes. For solving this distributed optimization problem, we combine a gradient descent method with a distributed quantized consensus algorithm (which requires the nodes to exchange quantized messages and converges in a finite number of steps). Specifically, at every optimization step, each node (i) performs a gradient descent step (i.e., subtracts the scaled gradient from its current estimate), and (ii) performs a finite-time calculation of the quantized average of every node's estimate in the network. As a consequence, this algorithm approximately mimics the centralized gradient descent algorithm. We show that our algorithm asymptotically converges to a neighborhood of the optimal solution with linear convergence rate. The performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated via simple illustrative examples.

Recently, omnidirectional wireless power transfer (WPT) has gained extensive attention globally. However, it is difficult to integrate such system with common home furniture for its three-dimensional (3-D) structure, which degrades its practicality. Targeting at this challenge, this article proposes a novel planar omnidirectional WPT system, enabling 3-D omnidi-rectional WPT for consumer electronics, such as mobile phones and earphones. It consists of three sets of planar coils, which can generate magnetic field in three dimensions, enabling the receiver to be charged in all positions and orientations. Besides, the decoupling performance of the proposed coil structure is verified. Afterwards, a LCCL-LC resonant converter is utilized to achieve the constant output voltage gain at resonant frequency. Finally, in the experiment, three sets of coils are integrated as PCB windings and the magnetic field is measured to verify the omnidirectional magnetic field distribution under 6.78MHz. When charging a 5-W receiver for portable devices, the output voltage will be between 16-24V while the overall efficiency is 70%-72.5% with $x$ and $y$ misalignment. Considering the angular misalignment, the efficiency remains between 28%-53%.
