Preparation and characterisation of smart polymer gels for wearable electronics by Shen, Clarence Xuanyi

“…The dielectric layer that was fabricated with a catechol-group polymer and Ionic Liquid, had shown healing capabilities when placed under conditions at 100°C for 10 minutes. Furthermore, a check on the capacitance value had shown that these dielectric layers functioned at above 1μF/𝑐𝑚2 at 20Hz, which are high capacitance values. …”

Comparison of Machine Learning-Based Methods for Narrowband Blind Adaptive Beamforming by Shonkwiler, Lara

“…Traditional blind source separation methods such as CMA, SOBI, JADE, and FastICA tend to be highly effective at beamforming datasets with moderate to large sample supports, but they do not perform well when they only have access to a limited number of data samples. They also bear the disadvantage that the appropriate algorithm must be selected based on the properties of the expected signal. …”
