    Abstract: A computer-executed method is provided for IEEE 802.15.4 devices based on a suspendable carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) control program and standard CSMA/CA control program for an IEEE 802.15.4 network composing of IEEE 802.15.4 devices. The computer-executed method is provided on an IEEE 802.15.4 device, and causes a processor of the IEEE 802.15.4 device to perform steps that include determining the permission of backoff suspension and the intention of IEEE 802.15.4 device to perform backoff suspension, selecting the suspendable CSMA/CA control program if the backoff suspension is permitted and IEEE 802.15.4 device intends to perform backoff suspension. The suspendable CSMA/CA control program is configured to perform active CCA within each unit backoff period and suspend backoff if channel is detected to be busy, performing a CCA when backoff completes, transmitting frame when the detected channel status is an idle state or incrementing a number of backoff (NB) when the detected channel status is an busy state, determining if a NB exceeds the macMaxCSMABackoffs, incrementing a number of retransmissions (NR) when a NB exceeds the macMaxCSMABackoffs, and discarding frame when a NR exceeds macMaxFrameRetries.

    Abstract: Disclosed a decision-dependent chance-constrained optimal model for enhancing resilience of power distribution system under renewable generation uncertainty through strategically setting-up and activating dispatchable diesel generators, renewable distributed generations, battery energy storage systems, and switchable devices. By incorporating the information of decision variables, a moment-based ambiguity set is employed to depict the uncertainty arising from renewable distributed generators. By leveraging convex approximations to handle the considered joint chance constraints, the disclosed model is transformed into a tractable mixed-integer second-order conic programming problem to be solved.

    Abstract: A method for a target image reconstruction is provided. The method includes emitting stepped frequency waveforms having different constant frequencies at different periods of time, modulating the stepped frequency waveforms into frequency ranges each having a first frequency and a second frequency, wherein each of the stepped frequency waveforms are increased from the first frequency to the second frequency based on a range function, wherein the modulated stepped frequency waveforms are arranged with some sparsity factor. The method further includes transmitting the modulated stepped frequency waveforms to a target and accepting reflection of the modulated stepped frequency waveforms reflected from the target interfering the modulated stepped frequency waveforms and the reflection of the modulated stepped frequency waveforms to produce beat signals of interferences between the modulated stepped frequency waveforms and the reflection of the modulated stepped frequency waveforms, and reconstructing an image of the target from the beat signals.

    Abstract: A system for sensing a state of a device is provided. The system includes an autoencoder comprising an encoder, a latent subnetwork, and an extended decoder. The encoder encodes each input data point of input data from an input state space into a latent space to produce latent data points and propagates the latent data points with a neural Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) to estimate an initial point of latent dynamics of the device in the latent space. The latent subnetwork propagates the initial point till a time index of interest using the neural ODE to produce a state of latent dynamics of the device at the time index of interest. The extended decoder decodes the state of latent dynamics of the device into an output state space different from the input state space to produce output data including the state of the device at the time index of interest.

    Abstract: Disclosed a method and system for identifying an existence, location and type of a weak-signal fault in an islanded inverter-based microgrid. The weak-signal fault includes a high impedance fault, an inverter DC-side short-circuit fault, and an inverter tripping fault, and usually fails to be detected by conventional relay methods due to small magnitude of fault current. Upon received voltage and current measurements from intelligent electronic devices installed in the microgrid, the variation mode decomposition algorithm is firstly applied to detect the existence of fault based on denoised time series of measurements using discrete wavelet transform algorithm. After detecting the presence of fault, the correlation-based matrix is applied to locate the suspicious fault locations, and then K-nearest neighbors model is utilized to identify the faulty branch among those locations using dynamic time warping algorithm to measure the distance between neighbors. Following fault localization, fault classification is done by observing sequence components and phasor measurements and feeding the observational inputs to a fault classification logic circuit model.

    Abstract: A system and method for sound processing for performing multi-talker conversation analysis is provided. The sound processing system includes a deep neural network trained for processing audio segments of an audio mixture of the multi-talker conversation. The deep neural network includes a speaker-independent layer that produces a speaker-independent output, and a speaker-biased layer applied once independently to each of the audio segments for each multiple speakers of the audio mixture. The deep neural network also processes a time-invariant embedding by individually assigning each application of the speaker-biased layer to a corresponding speaker by inputting the corresponding time-invariant speaker embedding. The deep neural network thus produces data indicative of time-frequency activity regions of each speaker of the multiple speakers in the audio mixture from a combination of speaker-biased outputs.
