Rapid extraction of pavement aggregate gradation based on point clouds using deep learning networks

Usage of asphalt mixture with poor gradation will most likely lead to pavement deficiency. There is a growing need for rapid and non-destructive methods to extract pavement aggregate gradation. In this study, a deep learning-based method that utilizes point clouds data for gradation extraction was proposed. Firstly, a data enhancement...

A Crystal-Less Clock Generation Technique for Battery-Free Wireless Systems

The size of wireless systems is required to be reduced in many applications, such as ultra-low-power sensor nodes and wearable/implantable devices, where battery and crystal are the two main bottlenecks in system miniaturization. In recent years, battery-free radios based on wireless power transfer (WPT) have shown great potential in...

Determination of the intrinsic α/γ interface mobility during massive transformations in interstitial free Fe-X alloys

Kinetics of the austenite (γ) to ferrite (α) transformation and the reverse ferrite (α) to austenite (γ) transformation in a series of Fe-X (X = Ni, Mn and Co) binary alloys has been experimentally and theoretically investigated. A transition from partitioning to partitionless transformation has been predicted to occur during both the γ→α and...
