Yue, X. (author), Mo, J. (author), Chen, Zhiyuan (author), Vollebregt, S. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Du, S. (author)Synchronized rectifiers offer promising solutions for piezoelectric energy harvesting; however, achieving the promised energy extraction performance necessitates using either a bulky inductor or multiple large capacitors, which cannot be on-chip integrated and increase the system form factor. This article introduces a fully integrated...journal article 2024

(author), Yue, Yuchen (author), Zhou, Guofu (author), Li, Yong (author), Wang, Jingxia (author)Photochromic smart windows have drawn increasing attention as an approach to improve building energy efficiency and enhance indoor daylight comfort. However, existing photochromic smart windows still block sunlight from entering the room on sunny winter days, causing additional energy consumption for heating. Herein, a dual-mode smart window...journal article 2024

(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

Yue, Dongdong (author), Baldi, S. (author), Cao, Jinde (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)This article describes an extension of the well-known model reference adaptive control (MRAC) approach. The extension relies on explicitly involving the tracking error in the feedback control law: it is shown that including this term along with its appropriate extra adaptive gain allows one to handle possibly unstable reference dynamics....journal article 2024

Song, Dongdong (author), Yang, Xiaobao (author), Ch. Anastasopoulos, Panagiotis (author), Zu, Xingshui (author), Yue, Xianfei (author), Yang, Y. (author)Traffic barrier crashes have been a major concern in many prior studies in traffic safety literature, especially in the crash-prone sections of mountainous regions. However, the effect of factors affecting the injury-severities resulting from crashes involving different types of traffic barriers may be different. This paper provides an...journal article 2023

Zhou, Y. (author), Liang, M. (author), Yue, X. (author)Large errors can be introduced in traditional acoustic emission (AE) source localization methods using extracted signal features such as arrival time difference. This issue is obvious in the case of irregular structural geometries, complex composite structure types or presence of cracks in wave travel paths. In this study, based on a novel...journal article 2023

Zhang, Y. (author), Herygers, Aaricia (author), Patel, T.B. (author), Yue, Z. (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)Automatic speech recognition (ASR) should serve every speaker, not only the majority “standard” speakers of a language. In order to build inclusive ASR, mitigating the bias against speaker groups who speak in a “non-standard” or “diverse” way is crucial. We aim to mitigate the bias against non-native-accented Flemish in a Flemish ASR system....conference paper 2023
