Electroadhesion displays provide controllable friction between the fingertip and screen. However, the change of contact condition causes variability in the produced friction. In this paper, we demonstrate a novel method for closed-loop control using current regulation to improve the precision of the electroadhesion force regardless of contact conditions. The current sensor obtains static current (when the finger is stationary) and dynamic current (when the finger is sliding). The static current is used to estimate the apparent contact area. The estimated contact area modulates the driving voltage along with the dynamic current. To verify the proposed method, we measured electroadhesion forces under open-loop control and closed-loop control. The benefit of using this closed-loop control is shown by comparing the relative static error of open-loop control and closed-loop control. The relative error reductions achieved over 34 % (max 112 %) for four changing contact conditions.

With the global surge in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), recycling spent LIBs has become an essential and urgent research area. In the context of global efforts to promote sustainable development, and achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, advancing recycling technologies that efficiently recover critical metals like Ni, Co, Mn, and Li is crucial. Herein, a novel and environmentally friendly simplified process for selectively extracting critical metals from the mixed electrode materials of spent LIBs is proposed for the first time.

Multi-axis contouring control is crucial for ultraprecision manufacturing industries, contributing to meeting the ever-increasingly stringent performance requirements. In this article, a novel contouring adaptive real-time iterative compensation (CARIC) method is proposed to achieve extreme multi-axis contouring accuracy, remarkable trajectory generalization, disturbance rejection, and parametric adaptation simultaneously. Specifically, control actions generated by CARIC consist of robust feedback, adaptive feedforward, and online trajectory compensation components.

Patients with type 1 diabetes and their physicians have long desired a fully closed-loop artificial pancreas (AP) system that can alleviate the burden of blood glucose regulation. Although deep reinforcement learning (DRL) methods theoretically enable adaptive insulin dosing control, they face numerous challenges, including safety and training efficiency, which have hindered their clinical application. This paper proposes a safe and efficient adaptive insulin delivery controller based on DRL.

This study evaluated a next-generation automated insulin delivery (AID) algorithm for Omnipod in type 1 and type 2 diabetes across multiple phases: 14-day run-in with usual therapy, 48-h AID use in a hotel setting (type 1 only), and up to 6 weeks of outpatient AID use. Participants did, or did not, deliver manual boluses at alternating periods. Twelve adults with type 1 diabetes completed the hotel phase; 9 of those 12 plus 8 adults with type 2 diabetes completed the subsequent outpatient phase.

Background: Membrane oxygenators facilitate extracorporeal gas exchange, necessitating the monitoring of blood gas. Recent advances in normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) for ex vivo liver offer solutions to the shortage of donor liver. However, maintaining physiological blood gas levels during prolonged NMP is complex and costly.
