To reduce the training amounts of existing data-driven methods, the transfer learning (TL) method has attracted more attention. However, most previous studies lack validation with different battery types and working conditions. Furthermore, the shared knowledge just relies on raw current and voltage data, resulting in insufficient accuracy. This article proposes a stacked-long short-term memory (LSTM) TL method based on Bayesian optimization (BO-Stacked-LSTM), which integrates multiple features to estimate SOH. By improving the structure of the BO-Stacked-LSTM networks and the fine-tuning strategy of TL, as well as employing a Bayesian optimization (BO) algorithm to optimize hyperparameters, the proposed method can achieve accurate SOH estimation. Experimental results demonstrate that it just requires a small quantity of target dataset to accurately estimate SOH on the target dataset. Furthermore, experiments were performed on three different lithium-ion battery datasets, to validate the effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"24 22","pages":"37607-37619"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142645459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method designs a dual-actor critic structure, senses ENO through the battery energy neutral value, and dynamically adjusts the duty cycle based on this value, in order to achieve the purpose of improving the ability of dynamically matching the collected energy with the consumed energy. The experiments are carried out on three datasets with different energy harvesting capabilities, and compared and analyzed with three classical algorithms, RLman, AQL and FQL. The experimental results show that compared with the other three classical algorithms, DAC sacrifices a small amount of duty cycle, but effectively improves the stability of battery energy, and improves the energy utilization and ENO performance.

However, both modalities require contact with the skin and are thus potentially uncomfortable and time-consuming to use. In this article, we propose a novel noncontact muscle activity monitoring approach that measures the muscle deformation signal using a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) mmWave radar which we call radiomyography (RMG). The RMG signal is a specific sequence of phase samples in the radar return, obtained through a series of operations: range bin selection, dc offset correction, arctangent demodulation, and phase unwrapping. We find that the RMG signal highly correlates with the sEMG signal across time, making RMG a reliable method for monitoring muscle activity. We also establish that our signal contains some characteristic features of the muscle deformation signal that are well known in biomechanics. Our main contribution is the proposal, development, and proof-of-concept usage of a novel noncontact muscle activity monitoring approach. This opens muscle activity monitoring up for use in rehabilitation, high-intensity contact sports analytics, performance arts, remote health monitoring, and wildlife healthcare and research.

We design filters using the FIR wideband beamforming algorithm and apply them to a single-direction incidence model. Filters designed using the phase iteration method are applied to a multidirection incidence model. Factors affecting beamformer accuracy and solutions have also been discussed. Simulation results demonstrate that both filters effectively suppress interference signals from other directions while preserving the desired direction signal.

However, there is the “hotspot” problem resulting from frequent data forwarding by cluster heads (CHs) and energy inefficiency caused by the transmission of data packets from shallow water to deep water. Therefore, we propose an energy-balanced routing protocol with nonuniform clustering (ERNC) to balance energy consumption and improve data transmission efficiency. First, without accurate 3-D localization, nodes exchange information with each other, and the combined coordinate of layer ID and hop ID is proposed to represent the node’s location information for subsequent CH selection and intercluster routing. Then, the combined coordinate, residual energy, and node density are considered comprehensively to select CHs for making their distribution uneven and equalizing the energy consumption. In the intercluster routing phase, the next hop candidate node sets with different forwarding priorities are constructed based on nodes’ coordinates to improve the network transmission efficiency. Moreover, we design the different holding times for the next-hop nodes in the same set to balance the energy consumption of CHs. The simulation results show that ERNC can effectively extend the network lifetime and improve the data transmission performance.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"24 22","pages":"38082-38091"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142645497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, due to noise interference, it is difficult to achieve extraction under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Therefore, a super-resolution micro-range extraction algorithm based on the parameter correlation between micro-range curves and micro-Doppler (m-D) curves is proposed in this article. First, a parametric curve model is constructed and a rough parameter search of model is conducted to obtain the initial range curve, which ensures the robustness and real-time performance. Second, time-frequency analysis is applied to the range bins of the curve, and the m-D curve is refined by local maxima search to further improve the accuracy. The accurate micro-range curve is then reconstructed with the absolute range acquired by a 1-D search.

This article presents a methodology to address these limitations, introducing a hybrid network called the conditional variational autoencoder (VAE) and generative adversarial network (CVAE-GAN), along with a multisolution generator (G-MS). The CVAE-GAN enables high-accuracy and high-efficiency inverse design, while the G-MS, with its tailored noise updating strategy, generates multiple distinct feasible solutions for given performance criteria.

First, we propose a segmenting sphere region (SSR) feature descriptor that comprehensively preserves point cloud spatial coordinate information through the “sphere segmentation-furthest point preservation” operation, enabling robust registration in complex scenarios. Second, we design SSR-Net to improve the descriptiveness of SSR features, generating a soft matching matrix to estimate the correspondence between the improved features.

To achieve an accurate model, a compensatory Hammerstein model recognition strategy is proposed to capture the internal different physical characteristics, which is named compensatory nonlinear linear model (CNLM). The linear dynamics is captured by a linear transfer function, and the nonlinear dynamics is captured by a hysteresis PI model with several backlash operators.
