Quantum computing and quantum neural networks: their foundation, optimisation, and application by Pointing, J

“…Certain problems could potentially be solved faster on quantum computers, and researchers hope to use them to solve difficult problems in industries such as healthcare and finance. Quantum machine learning and quantum neural networks (QNNs) aim to solve some of these problems. …”

Design and development of a biopolymer microfiber fabrication device by Yap, Yi-Liang.

“…Molten polymer within a holding cup with a tiny orifice below is drawn by a needle and stuck onto a spinning mandrel for collection. As the melt is pulled from the orifice, extensional flow causes the thinning in the melt diameter and the atmosphere cools the melt down into a fiber before it is collected on the mandrel. …”

Field-oriented control of induction motors using artificial neural networks by Miao, Hua Chun.

“…Its cost is low, maintenance is easy and the technology required to manufacture it is not advanced, but it lacks in precise controllability as the field-producing and torque-producing components of its stator current are linked. It was not until the advent of the field-oriented control that the dynamic performance of the AC drive could be made to match that of the DC drives. …”

Distributed control of hybrid AC microgrids with dynamic active and reactive power capacity tuning by Nutkani, Inam Ullah, Loh, Poh Chiang, Blaabjerg, Frede

“…Tying them either to the mains grid or among themselves would certainly require some interlinking power converters, whose control should preferably be done autonomously without demanding communication links. This paper proposes distributed control for power management between two Microgrids interlinked through inverters. …”
