Reaction Force Compensator for High-Speed Precision Stage of Laser Direct Imaging Process by Chang-hoon Seo, Yong ho Jeon, Hyung-ku Lee, Hyo-young Kim, Moon G. Lee

“…However, repeated motion of the process equipment causes residual vibration in a transient state when the stage accelerates or decelerates. The supporting structure for the laser head is complex and heavy in order to increase the resonant frequency, because the residual vibration must be controlled below a certain level for the LDI process precision. …”

A hierarchical trait and state model for decoding dyadic social interactions by Qianying Wu, Shigeki Nakauchi, Mohammad Shehata, Shinsuke Shimojo

“…Our pipeline involved two stages of dimensionality reduction: non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), followed by linear discriminant analysis (LDA). This pipeline resulted in an interpretable, seven-dimensional EEG latent space that revealed a trait to state (trait-state) hierarchical structure, with macro-segregation capturing neural traits and micro-segregation capturing neural states. …”

Comparison of different numerical calculation methods of stress factor for welded joints of metro bogie frame by GUAN Mingzhu, NIE Chunge, LI Bo, HU Penghao, XU Buzhen

“…The calculation results of the stress factor of the welded joints of the actual frame showed that due to the different calculation methods of the stress factor and the basic data of anti-fatigue design used under static and dynamic load cases, the maximum value and position of the stress factor of the same weld in the structure may be quite different. Therefore, when applying EN 15085-3 standard, the calculation of stress factor should refer to the calculation results of two load cases at the same time, so as to more reasonably determine the weld quality and inspection class. …”

Impact of symmetry in local learning rules on predictive neural representations and generalization in spatial navigation. by Janis Keck, Caswell Barry, Christian F Doeller, Jürgen Jost

“…We analytically find that a symmetric learning rule results in a successor representation under a symmetrized version of the experienced transition structure. We then apply this rule to a two-layer neural network model loosely resembling hippocampal subfields CA3 - with a symmetric learning rule and recurrent weights - and CA1 - with an asymmetric learning rule and no recurrent weights. …”
