Brain dynamics uncovered using a machine-learning algorithm
CEBRA is a machine-learning method that can be used to compress time series in a way that reveals otherwise hidden structures in the variability of the data. It excels at processing behavioural and neural data recorded simultaneously, and it can decode act ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023A High Efficiency Pneumatic Drive System Using Vane-Type Semi-Rotary Actuators
A compressed air driven generator is proposed, where the pneumatic energy is converted into mechanical energy using two vane-type rotational actuators. The use of a second actuator with a higher displacement in order to produce a thermodynamic expansion al ...
UNIV NIS2021Combined Shear-Flexural Verification Of In Plane Loaded Reinforced And Unreinforced Masonry Walls
The safety verification of in-plane loaded masonry panels requires the evaluation of at least three different collapse conditions connected with overturning, shear sliding, and shear - compression failure at the panels' toe. In reinforced panels, the resis ...
INT CENTER NUMERICAL METHODS ENGINEERING2021Pneumatic supply system parameter optimization for soft actuators
Jamie Paik, Sagar Dattatray Joshi
Soft actuators using pressurized air are being widely used due to their inherent compliance, conformability and customizability. These actuators are powered and controlled by pneumatic supply systems (PSSs) consisting of components such as compressors, val ...
2020Reversible solid oxide systems for energy and chemical applications – Review & perspectives
François Maréchal, Jan Van Herle, Ligang Wang, Maria del Mar Perez Fortes
This paper presents a mini-review in the field of energy storage using reversible solid oxide cells (rSOCs) for development of energy storage systems for the future. Such energy storage systems fall under the category of power-to-X-to power systems where e ...
2019Interaction of a rotating two-phase flow with the pressure and torque stability of a reversible pump-turbine operating in condenser mode.
François Avellan, Elena Vagnoni, Loïc Andolfatto, Pierre Leroy
The operation of a reversible pump-turbine in condenser mode requires to dewater the impeller by closing the guide vanes and injecting compressed air in the draft tube cone to reduce the friction torque on the impeller blades. A water discharge is injected ...
2018Testing and modelling of a novel oil-free co-rotating scroll machine with water injection
Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Luis Carlos Mendoza Toledo
Efficient compressed air energy storage requires reversible isothermal compression and expansion devices. The isothermal compression and expansion processes can either be approached by several stages with intercooling or by the more convenient injection of ...
Elsevier2017Multi-objective optimization and exergoeconomic analysis of a combined cooling, heating and power based compressed air energy storage system
François Maréchal, Ligang Wang, Erren Yao
Compressed air energy storage technologies can improve the supply capacity and stability of the electric- ity grid, particularly when fluctuating renewable energies are massively connected. While incorporating the combined cooling, heating and power system ...
