This research proposes a feedback method to adjust the dual-beam exposure system with spherical collimation lenses to achieve gratings with low spacing error. Through theoretical analysis and numerical calculation, it is proved that the interference aberration can be analyzed with the Zernike polynomials and the adjustment errors can be estimated according to the linear relationship between the errors and the polynomial coefficients. Moreover moving the substrate along its normal is proposed to decrease the spacing error but keep the grating's period unchanged. In the experiments, the wavefront measurement results of the ± 1st orders are used to deduce the spacing error. Based on the feedback adjustment method, the grating with a spacing error of 0.03 λ within 70 mm × 70 mm is fabricated with the collimation lenses of 0.6 λ spherical aberration.

This paper addresses the challenges of maintaining stability in heterogeneous vehicle platooning under the influence of communication disruptions caused by Byzantine attacks within a leader-follower framework. To enhance resilience, we propose a nonlinear control strategy tailored for a third-order heterogeneous dynamic model, integrating leader-follower interconnections with adaptable control gains. Utilizing a constant time headway spacing policy with gap adjustments, we derive control gains that secure internal platoon stability.

Droplet coalescence in microchannels is a complex phenomenon influenced by various parameters such as droplet size, velocity, liquid surface tension, and droplet-droplet spacing. In this study, we thoroughly investigate the impact of these control parameters on droplet coalescence dynamics within a sudden expansion microchannel using two distinct numerical methods. Initially, we employ the boundary element method to solve the Brinkman integral equation, providing detailed insights into the underlying physics of droplet coalescence.

Background: Histotripsy is a non-invasive, non-ionizing, non-thermal focused ultrasound technique. High amplitude short acoustic pulses converge to create high negative pressures that cavitate endogenous gas into a bubble cloud leading to mechanical tissue destruction. In the United States, histotripsy is approved to treat liver tumors under diagnostic ultrasound guidance but in initial clinical cases, some areas of the liver have not been treated due to bone or gas obstructing the acoustic window for targeting.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has dramatically advanced non-invasive human brain mapping and decoding. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and high-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT) non-invasively measure blood oxygen fluctuations related to brain activity, like fMRI, at the brain surface, using more-lightweight equipment that circumvents ergonomic and logistical limitations of fMRI. HD-DOT grids have smaller inter-optode spacing (~ 13 mm) than sparse fNIRS (~ 30 mm) and therefore provide higher image quality, with spatial resolution ~ 1/2 that of fMRI, when using the several source-detector distances (13-40 mm) afforded by the HD-DOT grid.

Carbon steel and low alloy steel are pearlitic heat-resistant steels with a lamellar microstructure. There are good mechanical properties and are widely used in crucial components of high-temperature pressure. However, long-term service in high-temperature environments can easily lead to material degradation, including spheroidization, graphitization, and thermal aging.
