Despite the challenges of practical implementation, electrocaloric (EC) cooling remains a promising technology because its good scalability and high efficiency. Here, we investigate feasibility an EC device that couples electromechanical (EM) responses highly functionally, efficient, lead magnesium niobate ceramic material. We fabricated multifunctional cantilevers from this material characteri...

A system is disclosed for condensation particle counting in conjunction With modifying an aerosol to enhance the for mation and groWth of droplets of a selected Working ?uid, preferably Water. Before saturation With the Working ?uid, the aerosol is exposed to an aerosol modifying component, preferably a vapor including molecules that are adsorbed onto surfaces of the particles or other elements...

A system is disclosed for condensation particle counting in conjunction with modifying an aerosol to enhance the formation and growth of droplets of a selected working fluid, preferably water. Before saturation with the working fluid, the aerosol is exposed to an aerosol modifying component, preferably a vapor including molecules that are adsorbed onto surfaces of the particles or other element...

The paper presents two useful extensions of the incremental SVM in the context of online learning. An online support vector data description algorithm enables application of the online paradigm to unsupervised learning. Furthermore, online learning can be used in the large-scale classification problems to limit the memory requirements for storage of the kernel matrix. The proposed algorithms ar...
