A report on the advancement of self-driving cars powered by a form of artificial intelligence. In Silicon Valley, Bill Whitaker takes a test drive in the Mercedes-Benz self-driving automobile and sits inside Google’s version of the driverless car. Unlike current cars, the issues consumers will face with self-driving cars will be related to cybersecurity and privacy. The car industry plans to automate the driving experience feature-by-feature first, before a driverless car is introduced to the market. Mercedes-Benz shared their vision for a car in the year 2030, the F015, a design where the driver turns its back to the steering wheel. (Includes an excerpt from an Infiniti ad) Includes interviews with: Ralf Herrtwich, director of driver assistance and chassis systems at Daimler AG/Mercedes-Benz; Chris Urmson, director self-driving cars at Google; Jaime Waydo, systems engineer at Google; Peter Lehmann, engineer at Daimler AG/Mercedes-Benz; and Mark Rosekind, Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Thin drift layers were used to realize n-channel 4H-SiC IGBTs with an extremely low switching loss. The thickness of a drift layer was 60 µm, which was designed for a blocking voltage of 6.5 kV. An on-voltage of 5.4 V was obtained at a collector current of 100 A/cm2 and the specific differential on-resistance at 100 A/cm2 was 20 mOcm2 at room temperature, indicating proper bipolar operation. A switching evaluation of the SiC IGBTs was performed with a bus voltage of 3.6 kV and a load current of 10 A, and a turn-off loss of 1.2 mJ was obtained. This turn-off loss is very small compared to the values in the current literatures, and was estimated to be an over 80% reduction. The series operation of thin-drift-layer 6.5 kV SiC IGBTs can ensure a lower switching loss than the single operation of higher blocking voltage devices in power conversion systems.

With the development of advanced automation degree industries, the requirements of network management for workshop tool become more and more urgent. A very important part in network management system is identification technology of the tool. In this paper, 2D (two-dimensional) barcode identification technology is applied in the tool information in real-time query to realize network management. The 2D barcode reading device, which is combined with the local computer decoding software, could achieve communication between production line and the server. By using 2D barcode identification technology, it could achieve network management for workshop tool, improve production efficiency and reduce the artificial error.

The reconstruction of defect profiles based on ultrasonic guided waves means the acquisition of defect profiles and parameters from ultrasonic guided wave signals. To achieve multi-resolution approximation, this paper proposed a reconstruction approach based on Radial Wavelet Basis Function Neural Network (RWBFNN), which combines wavelet analysis and neural network. Gaussian radial basis functions and Mexican hat wavelet frames are used as scaling functions and wavelet functions respectively. The training and testing samples contain simulation data and experimental data. The input data sets are defect echo signals, and the output data sets are 2-D profile parameters. To reduce the training time and simplify the profile reconstruction procedure without losing accuracy, Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) is adopted simultaneously. The results indicate that significant advantages can be obtained over other defect profile reconstruction schemes, and the accuracy of the predicted defect profile can be controlled by the resolution of the network with the lower computational complexity.

Polymer-mineral composite material is prepared by using modified epoxy resin as binder and mineral particles as aggregates. Its excellent damping characteristic and low thermal expansion make it ideal in manufacturing machine tool beds. However, the properties of this material depend on its formula and structure, so it is very important to develop an efficient method to numerically model the materials and then to optimize their properties. In this paper, 2D meso-scale finite element modeling is presented for numerical analysis of the mechanical properties of polymer-mineral composite material. The material was treated as a 2-phase composite composed of aggregates and binder which was epoxy resin mixed with fillers. Based on grading curve, the weights of aggregates were converted into the corresponding area, the aggregate particles were randomly generated and assembled with binder to produce the model. And then 2D numerical simulations were conducted under different gradations. The results show that: (1) the 2D FE model is very close to the real polymer-mineral composite material in the aspect of density and aggregate shapes and sizes, which validate the fidelity of the generated finite element model and numerical analysis method; (2) by comparing the materials' properties under four different gradations, it can be found that the materials with SAC gradation have the best mechanical property.
