In some applications, like a magnetization and demagnetization of ordinary and superconducting magnets driven by the voltage controlled current sources, it is desirable to change the voltage smoothly and linearly toward an adjusted value and then hold this value in time. A circuit is presented that allows: (i) the slow, smooth, and linear change of the integrator output voltage without steps and (ii) the ability to hold the output voltage at a value given by a reference source. In a hold regime, the output voltage is stabilized by a negative feedback. A stability of one part of 10(5) at the output voltage of 2 V was achieved over a 12 h period.

Herein, we discuss the idea that fluorescent materials/molecules should logically show potential photoelectrochemistry (PEC) activity, and, in particular, the PEC of fluorescent small molecules (previously usually acting only as dye sensitizers for conventional semiconductors) is explored. After examining the PEC activities of some typical inorganic or organic fluorescent materials/molecules and by adopting methyl violet (MV) with the highest PEC activity among the examined fluorescent small molecules, a new and efficient (MV/Au nanoparticles (AuNPs))/fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) photoanode without conventional semiconductor(s) is prepared by layer-by-layer alternating the electrodeposition of AuNPs and the adsorption of MV. A bilirubin oxidase (BOD)/CuCoO/FTO bio-photocathode is prepared by electrodeposition, calcination and cast-coating.

Leech locomotion, characterized by alternating sucker attachment and body contraction provides high adaptability and stability on complex terrains. Herein, a leech-inspired triboelectric soft robot is proposed for the first time, capable of amphibious movement, climbing, and load-carrying crawling. A high-performance triboelectric bionic robot system is developed to drive and control electro-responsive soft robots.

Animals requiring purposeful movement for survival are endowed with mechanoreceptors, called proprioceptors, that provide essential sensory feedback from muscles and joints to spinal cord circuits, which modulates motor output. Despite the essential nature of proprioceptive signaling in daily life, the mechanisms governing proprioceptor activity are poorly understood. Here, we identified nonredundant roles for two voltage-gated sodium channels (Nas), Na1.

LLC resonant converters have emerged as essential components in DC charging station modules, thanks to their outstanding performance attributes such as high power density, efficiency, and compact size. The stability of these converters is crucial for vehicle endurance and passenger experience, making reliability a top priority. However, malfunctions in the switching transistor or current sensor can hinder the converter's ability to maintain a resonant state and stable output voltage, leading to a notable reduction in system efficiency and output capability.

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are widely used in a variety of fields such as aviation, aerospace, marine, and industry due to their high angular position accuracy, energy conversion efficiency, and fast response. However, driving errors caused by the non-ideal characteristics of the driver negatively affect motor control accuracy. Compensating for the errors arising from the non-ideal characteristics of the driver demonstrates substantial practical value in enhancing control accuracy, improving dynamic performance, minimizing vibration and noise, optimizing energy efficiency, and bolstering system robustness.
