A new EKF SLAM algorithm of lidar-based AGV fused with bearing information

Ye C. Zhou H.X., Stevens Institue of Techonlogy, US

Lidar-based Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is widely used in various kinds of transportation tasks as a kind of intelligent logistics equipment. To realize the navigation, lidar-based AGV has to know its location and pose when [...]

Analysis of Breakdown Characteristics of Field-Plate AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with a High-k Passivation Layer

Kabemura T., Hanawa H., Horio K., Shibaura Institute of Technology, JP

It is well known that the introduction of field plate increases the breakdown voltage of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. This is because the electric field at the drain edge of the gate is reduced. As another way [...]

Effect of Deep-Acceptor Density in Buffer Layer on Breakdown Voltage of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with High-k Passivation Layer

Ueda S., Kawada Y., Horio K., Shibaura Institute of Technology, JP

AlGaN/GaN HEMTs are now receiving great interest for application to high-power microwave devices and high power switching devices. To improve the breakdown voltage, the introduction of field plate is shown to be effective, but it [...]

Simulation of Breakdown Characteristics of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with Double Passivation Layers

Nakano K., Hanawa H., Horio K., Shibaura Institute of Technology, JP

It is well known that the introduction of field plate increases the breakdown voltage of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. However, it increases the parasitic capacitance, leading to the degradation of high-frequency performance. As another way to improve [...]

Application of Machine Learning and Swarm Intelligence to Wastewater Treatment

, Cascade Clean Energy, Inc., US

Swarm intelligence (SI) is a branch of artificial intelligence, which has been existing in nature among grouping and activities of animals, birds, ants, fish or even microbes. Swarm Intelligence is the collective behavior of decentralized, [...]

Two Examples of Nonclassical Fullerenes with Dodecahedral Structure

Sanchez Bernabe F., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Two nonclassical fullerene are presented. The first one contains heptagonal faces, besides pentagons, and hexagons.This example contains 420 carbons. There are 60 heptagons. The number of hexagons is 80, and finally, we have 72 pentagons. [...]

Molecular Modeling of Silicon-Based Anode Material for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

Schweizer S., Low J.J., Subramanian L., Scienomics, US

Lithium(Li)-ion batteries are widely used in portable electronic devices. Their use as energy storage system in other important industrial fields - such as electric vehicles, wind turbines, or photo voltaic plants - is limited by [...]
