Tang, Shi Yuan (author), Irissappane, Athirai A. (author), Oliehoek, F.A. (author), Zhang, Jie (author)Typically, a Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm focuses in learning a single deployable policy as the end product. Depending on the initialization methods and seed randomization, learning a single policy could possibly leads to convergence to different local optima across different runs, especially when the algorithm is sensitive to hyper...journal article 2023

(author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Silicon carbide (SiC) epitaxial process is a key step in the fabrication of power devices, and the temperature field inside the reactor chamber plays an essential role in this process. In this paper, the temperature field in the horizontal chemical-vapor-deposition reactor chamber used for growing homo-epitaxial 4H-SiC material is studied using...conference paper 2023

Liu, Shurui (author), Lu, T. (author), Tang, Z. (author), Chen, Zhiyuan (author), Jiang, Junmin (author), Zhao, Bo (author), Du, S. (author)In this article, we propose a reconfigurable regulating rectifier with a wide operational range for wireless power transfer. The proposed three-mode rectifier achieves a broad range voltage regulation without global loop control to minimize the chip area occupation. Compared with previous work, more working modes and greater voltage gain...journal article 2023

Yue, X. (author), Javvaji, L.S. (author), Tang, Z. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author), Du, S. (author)Synchronized bias-flip rectifiers, such as synchronized switch harvesting on inductor (SSHI) rectifiers, are widely used for piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) [1], which can replace the use of batteries in many loT applications, thus reducing both system volume and maintenance cost. However, the output power extracted by such rectifiers...conference paper 2023

Toth, N.G. (author), Tang, Z. (author), Someya, T. (author), Pan, S. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)BJT-based temperature sensors are widely used due to their high accuracy over a wide temperature range with a low-cost 1-point trim. Although resistor-based sensors can achieve better energy efficiency, they typically require a 2-point trim to achieve comparable accuracy, while thermal-diffusivity based sensors achieve superior accuracy at...conference paper 2023

(author)Low-cost metal (e.g., PCB trace) shunts can be used to make accurate current sensors (< 1 % gain error) [1-3]. However, their reported maximum operating temperature (85 circC) is not high enough for automotive applications, and at higher temperatures, shunt resistance may exhibit increased drift, especially at high current levels. This...conference paper 2023

Tang, Z. (author), Pan, S. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)BJT-based temperature sensors are widely used because they can achieve excellent accuracy after 1-point calibration. However, they typically dissipate mu textWs of power and require supply voltages above 1V [1]. Although sensors based on DTMOSTs [2], [3], capacitively biased (CB) diodes and BJTs [4,5] have demonstrated sub-1V operation, this...conference paper 2023

Li, Wenyu (author), Chen, Wei (author), Jiang, Jing (author), Tang, H. (author), Fan, J. (author)Double-sided packages for heat dissipation are an efficient thermal management mechanism for power semiconductor devices. A fan-out panel-level packaging (FOPLP), as one of the double-sided forms, exhibits excellent electro–thermal characteristics and provides low stray inductance and thermal resistance. Besides, the temperature at each point...journal article 2023

Tang, T. (author)Polarized opinions are everywhere. From opposite attitudes towards Hawaiian pizza to the partisan divide in theUnited States, we have experienced enough opinion polarization in recent years. Sadly, it is usually a sign of follow-up criticism when people start to talk about "opinion polarization". The term, which should neutrally describe a...doctoral thesis 2022

(author), Kang, Chongqing (author)Equilibrium analysis has been widely studied as an effective tool to model gaming interactions and predict market results. However, as competition modes are fundamentally changed by the decarbonization and decentralization of power systems, analysis techniques must evolve.

(author)When making directional surface gravity waves in a wave tank or when initialising numerical simulations of the ocean, the wave spectrum is often curtailed suppressing higher frequencies and wavenumbers. We consider the impact of doing this by numerically simulating two seminal experiments, those of Onorato et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 627, 2009,...journal article 2022
