We write this letter to comment on the "virtual input" phenomenon reported by Thaler (Neural Networks, 8(1) (1995) 55-65). The author attributed the phenomenon to the network's ability to perform pattern classification and completion, and reported that pruning probability affects the number of virtual inputs observed. Our independent study of Thaler's results, however, reveals a simpler explanation of the "virtual input" phenomenon.

Research on plastic pollution is crucial, particularly with the recent emphasis on converting waste plastics into oil for sustainable energy. Very few studies have utilized artificial neural network (ANN) modeling for plastic thermal conversion, such as predicting fuel yield from mixed plastics and performing sensitivity analyses to identify which plastics produce more oil. Meanwhile, no study has conducted a comparative analysis of different models for catalytic and non-catalytic thermal conversion of various plastics, nor has a sensitivity analysis of process parameters using ANN for oil production.

The missile integrated guidance and control (IGC) problem with seeker's asymmetric field-of-view (FOV) angle constraints is addressed. In the introduced model, the fin deflections controller is used to drive the body line-of-sight angle rate, which avoids the solving and tracking of aerodynamic angles in traditional IGC method. A novel fixed-time convergence virtual input based on the integral barrier Lyapunov function is designed to ensure the asymmetric FOV angle constraints are never violated.

Integrated hand-tracking on modern virtual reality (VR) headsets can be readily exploited to deliver mid-air virtual input surfaces for text entry. These virtual input surfaces can closely replicate the experience of typing on a Qwerty keyboard on a physical touchscreen, thereby allowing users to leverage their pre-existing typing skills. However, the lack of passive haptic feedback, unconstrained user motion, and potential tracking inaccuracies or observability issues encountered in this interaction setting typically degrades the accuracy of user articulations.

Inputting text is a prevalent requirement among various virtual reality (VR) applications, including VR-based remote collaboration. In order to eliminate the need for complex rules and handheld devices for typing within virtual environments, researchers have proposed two mid-air input methods-the trace and tap methods. However, the specific impact of these input methods on performance in VR remains unknown.

Introduction: To solve the problem of control failure caused by system failure of deep-water salvage equipment under severe sea conditions, an event-triggered fault-tolerant control method (PEFC) based on proportional logarithmic projection analysis is proposed innovatively.
Methods: First, taking the claw-type underwater salvage robot as the research object, amore universal thruster fault model was established to describe the fault state of equipment failure, interruption, stuck, and poor contact. Second, the controller was designed by the proportional logarithmic projection analytical method.
