摘要The segmented power supply scheme for long-stator linear motor facilitates reducing power capacity and achieving a high power factor.However,the segment-switching process leads to overcurrent under high-speed conditions.This paper proposes a novel segment-switching strategy based on the time-optimal control theory.It employs time-optimal feedforward voltage and planned current trajectory during the switching transient process.Thus,it ensures rapid disconnection of the exiting segment and rapid establishment of the current in the incoming segment,while suppressing transient current overshoot.The mathematical model of the long-stator linear motor is established in the process of segment-switching.It derives the minimum times required to force the exiting segment current to zero and to establish the incoming segment current to the reference value by time-optimal control theory.Furthermore,the time-optimal voltages and current trajectories are calculated.The timeoptimal current trajectories are used as the reference command for the current loop.The time-optimal feedforward voltages are introduced into the current loop control.Hence,it achieves rapid disconnection of the exiting segment and fast,accurate establishment of the incoming segment current.Experimental and simulation results collectively validate the effectiveness of the proposed segment-switching strategy.

摘要High-power microwave technology shows great promise for applications in low-altitude security systems such as countering non-cooperative unmanned aerial vehicles.However,conventional high-power photoconductive semiconductor switches(PCSSs)based on impurity absorption intrinsically fail to achieve high voltage conversion efficiency across different operating voltages,limiting their overall performance.Here,we propose a novel PCSS based on phonon-assisted absorption,which fundamentally breaks the efficiency bottleneck and enables voltage conversion efficiency close to the theoretical limit.Using gallium oxide(Ga2O3),we successfully fabricate this phononassisted Ga2O3 PCSS,demonstrating a voltage conversion efficiency of 90.25%at an excitation laser energy of 1.98 mJ and a bias voltage of 600 V,as well as a conversion efficiency of 98.93%and a maximum output power density of 17.7 MW/cm2 at a bias voltage of 4000 V.This work provides a new principle and technical route for designing and fabricating high-performance high-power photoconductive switches,significantly advancing the development of high-efficiency,high-power microwave systems.

摘要This paper studies the fixed-time synchronization(FxTS)and predefined-time synchronization(PTS)of a class of inertial memristive neural networks(IMNNs),which have unbounded proportional delay independent of time linearity and mismatched switching jump coefficients.Based on Filippov solution theory and Lyapunov methods,this work develops an enhanced FxTS criterion delivering a tighter upper bound on convergence time and thereby extending guaranteed fixed-time behavior to a wider range of networks.A refined PTS condition that incorporates additional state-dependent terms accelerates error decay and reduces conservatism during the transient response.Numerical simulations show that the convergence rate of PTS under this strategy is significantly improved.Moreover,an optimization model with minimum control energy and dynamic error as objective functions is proposed to obtain more accurate controller parameters,and the stochastic inertia weight particle swarm optimization(SIWPSO)algorithm is introduced to solve the optimization model.Numerical studies not only validate the theoretical results for both FxTS and PTS but also demonstrate a secure communication application in which the chaos of the IMNNs acts as a masking carrier and enables perfect encryption and decryption of a complex test signal through SIWPSO-optimized FxTS and PTS.

摘要When the three-phase grid-connected inverter system is in operation,there are problems of significant switching losses and power losses.At the same time,if the switching frequency is not fixed,it will lead to problems such as a high content of low-order harmonics in the current on the grid side.This paper takes the three-phase grid-connected inverter as the research object and proposes a solution.Establish a mathematical model for the inverter system and analyze the transformation relationships of relevant electrical quantities across different coordinate systems.First,the paper proposes an improved three-vector model predictive current control algorithm.It employs an orthogonal-axis current zero-crossing method to calculate vector action times,enabling rapid and efficient determination of the desired sector.Then,based on this,an optimized switching sequence method is proposed.It fixes the switching frequency by adding a constraint term to the objective function.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed method was validated through simulation and experimental results.The results demonstrate that the proposed control strategy optimizes the switching sequence and achieves fixed switching frequency control.It can effectively reduce switching losses and power losses,thereby lowering the harmonic content in the grid-connected side current.At the same time,the grid-connected current exhibits low harmonic content and minimal current ripple.Concurrently,the grid-connected current exhibits low harmonic content and minimal current ripple.Under dynamic conditions,it maintains high current tracking accuracy and demonstrates strong system robustness.

摘要Versatile switchable terahertz devices have important applications in the field of terahertz technology,but it is currently difficult to implement them in a single device.In order to realize the switching between slow light and absorbing functions,a slow light and absorption switchable terahertz metamaterial based on the phase transition characteristics of vanadium dioxide(VO2)is designed,which is composed of a top layer of aluminum(Al)square ring and a ring resonant unit,a middle layer of SiO2 and a bottom layer of VO2.Based on the electromagnetic field theory,the finite time domain difference(FDTD)method is used to simulate and analyze the optical properties of VO2 in two states.When VO2 is in the insulating state,the metamaterial can achieve a slow light effect with a maximum group delay of 2.85 ps,and when VO2 is in the metallic state,the absorption rate of the metamaterial can reach 88.5%at 0.287 THz and 99.95%at 0.597 THz.We simulate the temperature-controlled phase transition process of VO2 by changing the conductivity of VO2,which can achieve the switching of slow light and absorption functions.In addition,we also found that the material is polarization insensitive.The metamaterial we have designed has some value in the research of terahertz multifunctional devices.

摘要The dramatic expansion of the human neocortex,roughly three times larger than our closest primate relatives,underlies our distinctive cognitive capabilities.Central to this expansion are upper-layer cortical neurons(layers 24),which form intricate cortico-cortical circuits underlying language,abstract reasoning,and complex social behavior[1].During cortical development,radial glial cells(RGCs)—the primary neural progenitor cells in the ventricular zone-transition from self-renewing divisions to asymmetric divisions that generate both neurogenic intermediate progenitors(IPs)and neurons.These IPs are capable of undergoing symmetric divisions,thereby contributing to cortical neuron production,and a majority of them are destined to become upper-layer neurons[2].

摘要Soft machines harness material-level physical intelligence to perform adaptive tasks,enabling advancements in biomedical and human-machine interaction fields.Soft switches are the basic building blocks to achieve intelligent functions like autonomous decisions and mechanical computation.However,current soft switches suffer from complex fabrication processes,limited performance,and a lack of multimodal control,which hinder their practical application and the realization of machine intelligence.Herein,by harnessing the unique self-pinch and self-healing effects of the gallium-based liquid metals(LMs),we describe a soft high-performance electric switch composed of an LM line encapsulated within an elastomer.Applying pressure to deform the LM switch can increase local current density,leading to the electromagnetic self-pinch effect for switching off.After releasing pressure,the LM can spontaneously heal with the elastic recovery of the elastomer for switching on.This LM switch shows comprehensive advantages,including a compact design(0.5 mm×1.5 mm×10 mm),good stretchability(100%),high on/off ratio(~109),rapid response time(12000 cycles).Moreover,the LM switches enable multiple control modes,including magnetic and optical stimulation,through the integration of responsive materials.We demonstrate various LM switch-enabled functional soft machines,such as an interactive flexible gripper,a self-oscillating soft crawler,and wearable logic gates.This work will open new avenues for the application of LM in intelligent soft machines and advanced wearable electronics.

摘要This paper is concerned with adaptive consensus tracking control of nonlinear multi-agent systems with actuator faults and unknown nonidentical control directions under double semi-Markovian switching topologies.Considering the complex working environment and the stability differences in communication links between leaders and followers,a double semi-Markov process is first introduced to describe the random switching of communication topologies in the leader-follower structure.In order to address challenges from the unknown nonidentical control directions and partial loss of effectiveness actuator faults,a completely independent parameter is introduced into the Nussbaum function to overcome the inherent obstacle of mutual cancellation and avoid the rapid growth rate.Considering only the state information of agents is transmitted among the agents,an adaptive distributed fault-tolerant consensus tracking control is proposed based on the double semi-Markovian switching topologies using the designed Nussbaum function.Furthermore,the stability of the closed-loop nonlinear multi-agent systems is analyzed using contradiction argument and Lyapunov theorem,from which the asymptotic consensus tracking in mean square sense can be obtained.A numerical simulation example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

摘要This paper investigates the issue of bumpless transfer H∞ filtering for a class of continuous-time switched linear systems.A new definition on admissible dual-modal persistent dwelltime(ADM-PDT)switching is presented,which is more general than the existing mode-dependent or admissible edge-dependent persistent dwell-time switching.To match the ADM-PDT switching,the dual-mode-dependent filter utilizing previous mode information is designed,which can enhance the performance of modedependent filter widely used in the literature.To smooth the filtering output bumps caused by switching filter,a novel dualmode-dependent bumpless transfer filter is constructed by introducing a time-interpolation-function-dependent transition filter.Then,the criteria for stability and H∞ performance analyses are derived based on a transition-dependent dual-modal Lyapunov function,ensuring that the filtering error systems driven by the bumpless transfer filter and ADM-PDT switching are globally uniformy asymptotically stable with a non-weighted H∞ noise attenuation performance.Finally,the validity and superiority of the developed theoretical results are illustrated by using a numerical example and an unmanned marine vehicle system.
