Ferreira, Carlos (author), Yu, W. (author), Sala, A. (author), Viré, A.C. (author)Floating offshore wind turbines may experience large surge motions, which can cause blade–vortex interaction if they are similar to or faster than the local wind speed. Previous research hypothesized that this blade–vortex interaction phenomenon represented a turbulent wake state or even a vortex ring state, rendering the actuator disc momentum...journal article 2022

Cai, Liying (author), Lu, Zhenghao (author), Tang, Z. (author), Yu, Xiaopeng (author)This letter presents a low-power dB-linear variable gain amplifier (VGA) with a small linear-in-dB error over a wide gain tuning range. An exponential current ratio is realized in the linear-in-dB control circuit based on the subthreshold I-V characteristic. The VGA is built with subthreshold common-gate transistors as current steering,...journal article 2022

Liu, Di (author), Baldi, S. (author), Yu, Wenwu (author), Chen, C. L.P. (author)The broad learning system (BLS) paradigm has recently emerged as a computationally efficient approach to supervised learning. Its efficiency arises from a learning mechanism based on the method of least-squares. However, the need for storing and inverting large matrices can put the efficiency of such mechanism at risk in big-data scenarios....journal article 2022

Yu, Xinghuo (author), Tang, Changbing (author), Palensky, P. (author), Colombo, Armando (author)Imagine you want to send money to a friend overseas. Wouldn't it be good if you didn't have to pay hefty fees to the intermediaries, and your friend received the funds very quickly? Now imagine ordering parts to make a product in your manufacturing plant. Wouldn't it be great if you were able to verify where each part comes from and have...journal article 2022

Wang, Y. (author), Yu, Rongjie (author), Qiu, Shuhan (author), SUN, J. (author), Farah, H. (author)Highly automated vehicles (HAVs) have been introduced to the transportation system for the purpose of providing safer mobility. Considering the expected long co-existence period of HAVs and human-driven vehicles (HDVs), the safety operation of HAVs interacting with HDVs needs to be verified. To achieve this, HAVs' Operational Design Domain ...journal article 2022
