Engine gas path component fault diagnosis based on a sparse deep stacking network.

Accurate engine gas path component fault diagnosis methods are key to ensuring the reliability and safety of engine operations. At present, the effectiveness of the data-driven gas path component fault diagnosis methods has been widely verified in engineering applications. The deep stack neural network (DSN), as a common deep learning neural network, has been gaining more attention in gas path fault diagnosis studies.

Addressing the programming challenges of practical interferometric mesh based optical processors.

We demonstrate a novel mesh of Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) for programmable optical processors. We thoroughly analyze the benefits and drawbacks of previously known meshes and compare our newly proposed mesh with these prior architectures, highlighting its unique features and advantages. The proposed mesh, referred to as Bokun mesh, is an architecture that merges the attributes of the prior topologies Diamond and Clements.
