Dongxiao Ren, Mao Ye
Graphical abstract
Highlights► Traditional cICA framework is extended to the PNL mixture model. ► Two approaches of extracting the desired source as the first output from the PNL mixture with reference are discussed. ► The proposed alternately optimizing algorithm can successfully extract the desired source as the first output from the PNL mixture.

ISA Transactions, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 8 July 2011
Tsung-Chih Lin, Chia-Hao Kuo
Highlights► We model an uncertain fractional order chaotic system by fuzzy logic system. ► Lyapunov theorem is used to test the stability of the proposed control scheme. ► The synchronization error can be attenuated by H∞ approach.

Measurement, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 8 July 2011
Jingtao Guo, Zhigang Jin
Highlights► We treat water meter, gas meter, electricity meter as generalized flow meter. ► Relative error of a meter in tree topology can be reached not using a standard. ► We calculate electricity meter’s error by solving equation set of readings. ► The time complexity is of third-order considering the number of multiply operation.

Jian-Qun Cheng, Shuang-Chen Ruan
Highlights► A new single-mode erbium-doped photonic crystal fiber is used as a gain medium. ► The loop laser includes a novel distributed feedback configuration. ► Two matched fiber Bragg gratings are used as the selective wavelength components. ► The lasing wavelength and the peak power of the proposed laser are rather stable.

Robotics and Autonomous Systems, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 7 July 2011
Gabriele Ferri, Michael V. Jakuba, Alessio Mondini, Virgilio Mattoli, Barbara Mazzolai, Dana R. Yoerger, Paolo Dario
Highlights► A method to localize multiple chemical sources in an indoor scenario is described. ► The scenario is characterized by the lack of a strong airflow. ► Our method is based on an adaptation to traditional Bayesian occupancy grid mapping. ► A robot creates a map showing the probability each cell contains a source. ► Experiments show the method is less sensitive to the choice of the algorithm parameters.

Microelectronics Reliability, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 6 July 2011
I. Manić, D. Danković, A. Prijić, V. Davidović, S. Djorić-Veljković, S. Golubović, Z. Prijić, N. Stojadinović
Highlights► Effects of static and pulsed NBT stressing in p-channel VDMOSFETs are investigated. ► The results for static and pulsed stress are compared in terms of device lifetime. ► Device lifetime is found to be longer under the pulsed stress conditions. ► Lifetime tends to increase with decreasing the duty cycle of pulsed stress voltage.

Shin’ya Obara, Takanobu Yamada, Kazuhiro Matsumura, Shiro Takahashi, Masahito Kawai, Balaji Rengarajan
Highlights► An actuator designed to realize the continuous dissociation and recombination of CO2 hydrate. ► A working fluid using CO2 and H2O that is passed at 1150 g/s, 5 kW of electric power can be obtained. ► The difference in the temperature of recombination greatly influences the power generation. ► The capacity of the recombination equipment is calculated from the recombination speed.

Jenq-Shiou Leu, Hung-Jie Tzeng, Chi-Feng Chen, Wei-Hsiang Lin
Graphical abstract
Highlights► We realize a dynamic surveillance system based on open techniques – OSGi and OpenCV. ► The system uses image recognition techniques to adaptively reproduce viewed frames. ► The proposed adaptive pause time control scheme improves the frame synchronization. ► The scheme can save power for the moveable camera and have a shorter viewing delay.
