Chemicals and Materials All chemicals used in the experiments (KBr, Fe2(SO4)3, H2SO4, ethanol, Rhodamine B) are analytical grade or better provided by Sinopharm Co., China. All aqueous solutions are prepared with deionized water (18.2 MΩ, Milli-Q, Millipore Corp., France). ITO glass slides were washed in an ultrasonic cleaner by isopropanol and deionized water for several times and dried by blo...

In this paper we present a new approach to the problem of simultaneously localizing a group of mobile robots capable of sensing each other. Each of the robots collects sensor data regarding its own motion and shares this information with the rest of the team during the update cycles. A single estimator, in the form of a Kalman lter, processes the available positioning information from all the m...

Ten years of research in Ambient Intelligence have revealed that the original ideas and assertions about the way the concept should develop no longer hold and should be substantially revised. Early scenario’s in Ambient Intelligence envisioned a world in which individuals could maximally exploit personalized, context aware, wireless devices thus enabling them to become maximally productive, whi...

A terminal synergetic control (TSC) is designed in this work for a rotor side converter (RSC) of asynchronous generator (ASG)-based dual-rotor wind power (DRWP) systems. The design based on novel sliding manifold and aims at improving the ASG performance while minimizing active reactive undulations. method its effectiveness were studied under harmonic distortion (THD) current, parameter variati...
