Chen, Qinyu (author), Chang, Yaoxing (author), Kim, Kwantae (author), Gao, C. (author), Liu, Shih Chii (author)Keyword spotting (KWS) is an important task on edge low-power audio devices. A typical edge KWS system consists of a front-end feature extractor which outputs mel-scale frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) features followed by a back-end neural network classifier. KWS edge designs aim for the best power-performance-area metrics. This work...conference paper 2023

(author)This paper presents a pitch-matched transceiver ASIC integrated with a 2-D transducer array for a wearable ultrasound device for transfontanelle ultrasonography. The ASIC combines 8-fold multiplexing, 4-channel micro-beamforming (μ BF) and sub-array-level digitization to achieve a 128-fold channel-count reduction. The μ BF is based on passive...conference paper 2023

Nanosecond gating of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors using cryogenic bias circuitryHummel, Thomas (author), Widhalm, Alex (author), Höpker, Jan Philipp (author), Jöns, Klaus D. (author), Chang, J. (author), Fognini, Andreas (author), Steinhauer, Stephan (author), Zwiller, Val (author), Zrenner, Artur (author), Bartley, Tim J. (author)Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) show near unity efficiency, low dark count rate, and short recovery time. Combining these characteristics with temporal control of SNSPDs broadens their applications as in active de-latching for higher dynamic range counting or temporal filtering for pump-probe spectroscopy or LiDAR....journal article 2023

Ji, W. (author), Chang, J. (author), Xu, He Xiu (author), Gao, J.R. (author), Groeblacher, S. (author), Urbach, Paul (author), Adam, A.J.L. (author)As a two-dimensional planar material with low depth profile, a metasurface can generate non-classical phase distributions for the transmitted and reflected electromagnetic waves at its interface. Thus, it offers more flexibility to control the wave front. A traditional metasurface design process mainly adopts the forward prediction algorithm,...review 2023

Chang, Chang Yu (author), Bajic, D. (author), Vila, Jean C.C. (author), Estrela, Sylvie (author), Sanchez, Alvaro (author)Understanding the mechanisms that maintain microbial biodiversity is a critical aspiration in ecology. Past work on microbial coexistence has largely focused on species pairs, but it is unclear whether pairwise coexistence in isolation is required for coexistence in a multispecies community. To address this question, we conducted hundreds of...journal article 2023

(author), Wang, Xuerui (author)This paper proposes an incremental nonlinear control method for an aeroelastic system’s gust load alleviation and active flutter suppression. These two control objectives can be achieved without modifying the control architecture or the control parameters. The proposed method has guaranteed stability in the Lyapunov sense and also has...journal article 2023

Chang, Guobin (author), Qian, N. (author), Bian, Shaofeng (author)Point-mass inversion is widely employed in GRACE level-2 data processing. Conventionally, the spherical harmonic (SH) coefficients are used indirectly: a set of pseudo measurements is generated first using the SH coefficients through SH synthesis; then the point-mass inversion is done with these pseudo measurements. To be statistically optimal,...journal article 2023
