­Advanced vehicle control systems (e.g., an electronic stability control system) can greatly reduce accident rates and fatality in accidents. Vehicle control systems in automated vehicles (AVs) are able to ensure vehicle safety in many driving scenarios by cooperating with other advanced perception and path planning systems of the AVs. A typical...

Background Industrial and agricultural unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used for long-distance flight applications such as aerial photography, mapping, package transportation, inspection, and pesticide spraying. Typically, coplanar multirotor UAVs, such as quadcopters and hexacopters are applied to perform these tasks because of their...

Background GaN-based power electronics has been under extensive research due to GaN’s large bandgap, high breakdown electric field (Eb), and large Baliga’s figure of merit (BFOM). With the availability of high-quality bulk GaN substrates, GaN vertical devices have become prominent candidates for next-generation power applications, capable...

According to the World Health Organization, there are hundreds of millions of people suffering from chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs), including asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, pulmonary hypertension and more. Measuring and characterizing lung functionality is an essential step toward diagnosing, monitoring and treating these respiratory conditions. The...
