Smooth Power Direction Transition of a Bidirectional LLC Resonant Converter for DC Transformer Applications

The bidirectional LLC resonant converter operated at fixed switching frequency is a preferable candidate for a true dc transformer that does not actively control the power flow. This is due to its naturally stiff voltage ratio regardless of the imposed loa ...

Self-Binarizing Networks

Sabine Süsstrunk, Radhakrishna Achanta, Fayez Lahoud, Pablo Marquez Neila

We present a method to train self-binarizing neural networks, that is, networks that evolve their weights and activations during training to become binary. To obtain similar binary networks, existing methods rely on the sign activation function. This funct ...

Advanced Machine Learning Techniques for Self-Interference Cancellation in Full-Duplex Radios

Andreas Peter Burg, Andreas Toftegaard Kristensen

In-band full-duplex systems allow for more efficient use of temporal and spectral resources by transmitting and receiving information at the same time and on the same frequency. However, this creates a strong self-interference signal at the receiver, makin ...

Evaluating Charge Equilibration Methods To Generate Electrostatic Fields in Nanoporous Materials

Berend Smit, Daniele Ongari, Peter George Boyd, Amber Kashan Mace, Özge Kadioglu

Charge equilibration (Qeq) methods can estimate the electrostatic potential of molecules and periodic frameworks by assigning point charges to each atom, using only a small fraction of the resources needed to compute density functional (DFT)-derived charge ...

Interactive Generation of Calligraphic Trajectories from Gaussian Mixtures

Sylvain Calinon

The chapter presents an approach for the interactive definition of curves and motion paths based on Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and optimal control. The input of our method is a mixture of multivariate Gaussians defined by the user, whose centers define a ...
