High-Speed and Low-Cost Implementation of Explicit Model Predictive Controllers
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019)
This paper presents a new form of piecewise-affine (PWA) solution, referred to as PWA hierarchical (PWAH), to approximate the explicit model predictive control (MPC) law, achieving a very rapid control response with the ...

Controllable production of Janus ligaments by AC fields in a flow‑focusing junction
(Springer, 2019-01)
We report the production of bicomponent Janus filaments of miscible aqueous fluids in a microfluidic electro-flow-focusing device under the action of an AC electric field. The production of liquid filaments can lead to ...

Combining DC and AC electric fields with deterministic lateral displacement for micro- And nano-particle separation
(American Institute of Physics, 2019)
This paper describes the behavior of particles in a deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) separation device with DC and AC electric fields applied orthogonal to the fluid flow. As proof of principle, we demonstrate ...

Efficient Spectral Domain MoM for the Design of Circularly Polarized Reflectarray Antennas Made of Split Rings
(IEEE, 2019-03)
The method of moments (MoM) in the spectral domain is used for the analysis of the scattering of a plane wave by a multilayered periodic structure containing conducting concentric split rings in the unit cell. Basis functions ...

Miniaturised and harmonic-suppressed rat-race couplers based on slow-wave transmission lines
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019)
In this study, a compact rat-race hybrid coupler with harmonic suppression based on slow-wave transmission lines (SW-TLs) is presented. Such artificial lines are implemented by periodic loading a host microstrip line with ...
