(author), Liang, Yansong (author), Gong, Haoran (author), Liu, Shurui (author), Chen, Zhiyuan (author), Liu, Xun (author), Du, S. (author)This article presents a 10mV-startup-voltage thermoelectric energy harvesting system, assisted by a piezoelectric generator (PEG) as a cold starter. It exploits the fact that when a thermoelectric energy harvesting system is implemented in a place where kinetic energy is also present, the PEG starter can provide a clock signal to start the...journal article 2024

Chen, Huan (author), Zhang, Zhaoyu (author), Guo, R. (author), Han, Xutao (author), Zhang, Xuanrui (author), Lin, Junhao (author)The gas state of the insulating gas significantly impacts the development and extent of the partial discharge (PD) in gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). Correlating these two factors allows for a more comprehensive diagnosis of insulation defects. At present, the ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) method has been widely used for PD detection in GIS....journal article 2024

Chen, J. (author), Dwarka, V.N.S.R. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author)The Helmholtz equation is related to seismic exploration, sonar, antennas, and medical imaging applications. It is one of the most challenging problems to solve in terms of accuracy and convergence due to the scalability issues of the numerical solvers. For 3D large-scale applications, high-performance parallel solvers are also needed. In this...journal article 2024

Chen, K. (author), Li, Zhibin (author), Liu, Pan (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Han, Yu (author), Jiao, Y. (author)A lane-changing (LC) maneuver may cause the follower in the target lane (new follower) to decelerate and give up space, potentially affecting crash risk and traffic flow efficiency. In congested flow, a more aggressive LC maneuver occurs where the lane changer is partially next to the new follower and creates negative gaps, namely negative...journal article 2024

Wei, Zeyong (author), Chen, Honghua (author), Nan, L. (author), Wang, Jun (author), Qin, Jing (author), Wei, Mingqiang (author)Current point cloud denoising (PCD) models optimize single networks, trying to make their parameters adaptive to each point in a large pool of point clouds. Such a denoising network paradigm neglects that different points are often corrupted by different levels of noise and they may convey different geometric structures. Thus, the intricacy of...journal article 2024
