  • Publication number: 20230083519
    Abstract: A method employs an unmanned aerial vehicle to carry an electromagnetic field measurement system to overcome environmental obstacles in measuring environmental electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field measurement system senses the electromagnetic field of a spatial position in the environment to generate a sensing signal, then processes the sensing signal to remove the high-frequency electromagnetic interference generated by the operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle itself from the sensing signal, and converts the processed sensing signal into a digital signal. The digital signal is processed to extract at least one wave according to a fundamental frequency and a harmonic order, thereby removing the low-frequency electromagnetic interference from the digital signal. The extracted wave is employed in calculating an environmental electromagnetic field value of the spatial location.

    Abstract: Frameworks and methods for generating early-warning indicators of impending nonlinear instabilities of a dynamical system are provided. In accordance with one aspect, the framework includes a data collector and a system identification (SI) modeler. The data collector is coupled to the dynamical system and collects pre-bifurcation data. The SI modeler predicts early-warning indicators of impending nonlinear instabilities using only the pre-bifurcation data and the SI modeler includes a means for extrapolating Fokker-Planck coefficients in response to the pre-bifurcation data to generate precursors to a Hopf bifurcation and/or to identify a type of the Hopf bifurcation and/or to forecast the limit-cycle oscillation (LCO) amplitudes of a post-bifurcation regime. In addition, the SI modeler predicts the locations of the Hopf bifurcation points, the type of the Hopf bifurcation and the LCO amplitudes of the post-bifurcation regime.

  • Patent number: 11596931
    Abstract: Modified crystalline zeolite materials have a zeolite framework with both tetra-coordinate Lewis aluminum single sites and Brønsted aluminum sites. The tetra-coordinate Lewis aluminum single sites include aluminum atoms covalently bonded to a variable group and to two oxygen atoms and further coordinated to a third oxygen atom. The variable group may be alkyl, hydride, or hydroxyl. Methods for incorporating tetra-coordinate Lewis aluminum single sites into a crystalline zeolite material include contacting the crystalline zeolite material with a dialkylaluminum hydride R2AlH, where each R is alkyl, to react the dialkylaluminum hydride with the zeolite framework and form tetra-coordinate alkyl aluminum single sites. Heating the alkyl-aluminum zeolite induces ?-hydride elimination of the alkyl groups, whereby tetra-coordinate aluminum hydride single sites are formed.
