A frequency servo SoC with output power stabilization loop technology for miniaturized atomic clocks

A frequency servo system-on-chip(FS-SoC)featuring output power stabilization technology is introduced in this study for high-precision and miniaturized cesium(Cs)atomic clocks.The proposed power stabilization loop(PSL)technique,incorporating an off-chip power detector(PD),ensures that the output power of the FS-SoC remains stable,mitigating the impact of power fluctuations on the atomic clock's stability.Additionally,a one-pulse-per-second(1PPS)is employed to syn-chronize the clock with GPS.Fabricated using 65 nm CMOS technology,the measured phase noise of the FS-SoC stands at-69.5 dBc/Hz@100 Hz offset and-83.9 dBc/Hz@1 kHz offset,accompanied by a power dissipation of 19.7 mW.The Cs atomic clock employing the proposed FS-SoC and PSL obtains an Allan deviation of 1.7×10^(-11) with 1-s averaging time.

Observer design and output feedback stabilization for linear singular time-delay systems with unknown inputs

The design of a functional observer and reduced-order observer with internal delay for linear singular timedelay systems with unknown inputs is discussed. The sufficient conditions of the existence of observers, which are normal linear time-delay systems, and the corresponding design steps are presented via linear matrix inequality（LMI）. Moreover, the observer-based feedback stabilizing controller is obtained. Three examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Dynamical output feedback stabilization for neutral systems with mixed delays

This paper is concerned with the issue of stabilization for the linear neutral systems with mixed delays. The attention is focused on the design of output feedback controllers which guarantee the asymptotical stability of the closed-loop systems. Based on the model transformation of neutral type, the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method is employed to establish the delay-dependent stability criterion. Then, through the controller parameterization and some matrix transformation techniques, the desired parameters are determined under the delay-dependent design condition in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), and the desired controller is explicitly formulated. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Robust Output Practical Stability of Time-Varying Nonlinear Control Systems via Indefinite Lyapunov Functions

This paper focuses on studying the problem of robust output practical stability of timevarying nonlinear control systems. The main innovation lies in the fact that the proposed approach for stability analysis allows for the computation of bounds that characterize the asymptotic convergence of solutions to a small ball centered at the origin using a Lyapunov method with a definite derivative.Under different conditions on the perturbation, the authors demonstrate that the system can be globally robustly asymptotically output stable by designing a candidate feedback controller. Finally, three examples are given to illustrate the practical implications and significance of the theoretical results.

Output Feedback Stabilization of an Unstable Wave Equation with Observations Subject to Time Delay

This paper focuses on boundary stabilization of a one-dimensional wave equation with an unstable boundary condition,in which observations are subject to arbitrary fixed time delay.The observability inequality indicates that the open-loop system is observable,based on which the observer and predictor are designed:The state of system is estimated with available observation and then predicted without observation.After that equivalently the authors transform the original system to the well-posed and exponentially stable system by backstepping method.The equivalent system together with the design of observer and predictor give the estimated output feedback.It is shown that the closed-loop system is exponentially stable.Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effect of the stabilizing controller.

Dynamic output feedback stabilization of deterministic finite automata via the semi-tensor product of matrices approach

This paper deals with the dynamic output feedback stabilization problem of deterministic finite automata(DFA).The static form of this problem is defined and solved in previous studies via a set of equivalent conditions.In this paper,the dynamic output feedback(DOF)stabilization of DFAs is defined in which the controller is supposed to be another DFA.The DFA controller will be designed to stabilize the equilibrium point of the main DFA through a set of proposed equivalent conditions.It has been proven that the design problem of DOF stabilization is more feasible than the static output feedback(SOF)stabilization.Three simulation examples are provided to illustrate the results of this paper in more details.The first example considers an instance DFA and develops SOF and DOF controllers for it.The example explains the concepts of the DOF controller and how it will be implemented in the closed-loop DFA.In the second example,a special DFA is provided in which the DOF stabilization is feasible,whereas the SOF stabilization is not.The final example compares the feasibility performance of the SOF and DOF stabilizations through applying them to one hundred random-generated DFAs.The results reveal the superiority of the DOF stabilization.

Global output feedback stabilization of upper-triangular nonlinear time-delay systems

In this paper, the problem of global output feedback stabilization for a class of upper-triangular nonlinear systems with time-varying time-delay in the state is considered. The uncertain nonlinearities are assumed to be higher-order in the unmeasurable states. Based on the extended homogeneous domination approach, using a low gain observer in combi- nation with controller, the delay-independent output feedback controller makes closed-loop system globally asymptotically stable under a homogeneous growth condition.

Advances in high-temperature operatable triboelectric nanogenerator

The triboelectric nanogenerator(TENG)offers a novel approach to harness mechanical energy continuously and sustainably.It has emerged as a leading technology for converting mechanical energy into electricity.The demand for self-powered wearable microelectronics and energy generation in extreme conditions underscores the need for efficient high-temperature operatable TENGs(HTO-TENGs).However,the operating environment temperature not only affects the storage and dissipation of electrons during triboelectrification,leading to decreased output performance of TENG and instability at high temperatures,but also damage to the mechanical stability and effective defects in most tribomaterials,resulting in a further reduction in TENG’s effective output power.Moreover,the unstable material properties of the triboelectric layer at high temperatures also restrict the use of the TENG in harsh environments.Therefore,it is imperative to consider the structural durability and electrical output stability of TENG when applying it in challenging working environments.This review aims to bridge this gap by providing a comprehensive overview of the current state and research advancements in HTO-TENG for the first time.Finally,this review presents insights into future research prospects and proposes design strategies to facilitate the rapid development of the field.
