However, due to the complex intestinal environment and limited pixel resolution of WCE videos, lesions are not easily detectable, and it takes an experienced doctor 1–2 h to analyze a complete WCE video. The use of computer-aided diagnostic methods, assisting or even replacing manual WCE diagnosis, has significant application value. In response to the issue of intestinal lesion detection in WCE videos, this paper proposes a multi-scale feature fusion network model TSD-YOLO based on the YOLO (You Only Look Once) architecture: (I) a Tiny Detection Layer to avoid the loss of shallow feature information for tiny-scale targets;(II) integrating a simple, parameter-free attention module (SimAM) at the neck to better extract local lesion features and fuse features;(III) incorporating a new loss function DIoU (Distance Intersection over Union) to better achieve boundary box regression for target detection. This model was validated using the WCE dataset from Kyushu University Hospital. For the dataset containing 18,000 images, the evaluation metrics of our model for 12 types of lesions, outperformed existing reported results from advanced models on this dataset, and the mAP (mean Average Precision) and precision evaluation metrics improved by 3.7% and 0.9% over the benchmark model.展开更多

This paper minimizes the system overhead regarding task processing delay and energy consumption for the IWN with hybrid NOMA and orthogonal multiple access (OMA) schemes. Specifically, we formulate the system overhead minimization (SOM) problem by considering the limited computation and communication resources and NOMA efficiency. To solve the complex mixed-integer nonconvex problem, we combine the multi-agent twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (MATD3) and convex optimization, namely MATD3-CO, for iterative optimization. Specifically, we first decouple SOM into two sub-problems, i.e., joint sub-channel allocation and task offloading sub-problem, and computation resource allocation sub-problem. Then, we propose MATD3 to optimize the sub-channel allocation and task offloading ratio, and employ the convex optimization to allocate the computation resource with a closed-form expression derived by the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions. The solution is obtained by iteratively solving these two sub-problems. The experimental results indicate that the MATD3-CO scheme, when compared to the benchmark schemes, significantly decreases system overhead with respect to both delay and energy consumption.展开更多

文摘Background With the development of the Internet,the topology optimization of wireless sensor networks has received increasing attention.However,traditional optimization methods often overlook the energy imbalance caused by node loads,which affects network performance.Methods To improve the overall performance and efficiency of wireless sensor networks,a new method for optimizing the wireless sensor network topology based on K-means clustering and firefly algorithms is proposed.The K-means clustering algorithm partitions nodes by minimizing the within-cluster variance,while the firefly algorithm is an optimization algorithm based on swarm intelligence that simulates the flashing interaction between fireflies to guide the search process.The proposed method first introduces the K-means clustering algorithm to cluster nodes and then introduces a firefly algorithm to dynamically adjust the nodes.Results The results showed that the average clustering accuracies in the Wine and Iris data sets were 86.59%and 94.55%,respectively,demonstrating good clustering performance.When calculating the node mortality rate and network load balancing standard deviation,the proposed algorithm showed dead nodes at approximately 50 iterations,with an average load balancing standard deviation of 1.7×10^(4),proving its contribution to extending the network lifespan.Conclusions This demonstrates the superiority of the proposed algorithm in significantly improving the energy efficiency and load balancing of wireless sensor networks to extend the network lifespan.The research results indicate that wireless sensor networks have theoretical and practical significance in fields such as monitoring,healthcare,and agriculture.

文摘Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs)are one of the best technologies of the 21st century and have seen tremendous growth over the past decade.Much work has been put into its development in various aspects such as architectural attention,routing protocols,location exploration,time exploration,etc.This research aims to optimize routing protocols and address the challenges arising from conflicting objectives in WSN environments,such as balancing energy consumption,ensuring routing reliability,distributing network load,and selecting the shortest path.Many optimization techniques have shown success in achieving one or two objectives but struggle to achieve the right balance between multiple conflicting objectives.To address this gap,this paper proposes an innovative approach that integrates Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)with a fuzzy multi-objective framework.The proposed method uses fuzzy logic to effectively control multiple competing objectives to represent its major development beyond existing methods that only deal with one or two objectives.The search efficiency is improved by particle swarm optimization(PSO)which overcomes the large computational requirements that serve as a major drawback of existing methods.The PSO algorithm is adapted for WSNs to optimize routing paths based on fuzzy multi-objective fitness.The fuzzy logic framework uses predefined membership functions and rule-based reasoning to adjust routing decisions.These adjustments influence PSO’s velocity updates,ensuring continuous adaptation under varying network conditions.The proposed multi-objective PSO-fuzzy model is evaluated using NS-3 simulation.The results show that the proposed model is capable of improving the network lifetime by 15.2%–22.4%,increasing the stabilization time by 18.7%–25.5%,and increasing the residual energy by 8.9%–16.2% compared to the state-of-the-art techniques.The proposed model also achieves a 15%–24% reduction in load variance,demonstrating balanced routing and extended network lifetime.Furthermore,analysis using p-values obtained from multiple performance measures(p-values<0.05)showed that the proposed approach outperforms with a high level of confidence.The proposed multi-objective PSO-fuzzy model provides a robust and scalable solution to improve the performance of WSNs.It allows stable performance in networks with 100 to 300 nodes,under varying node densities,and across different base station placements.Computational complexity analysis has shown that the method fits well into large-scale WSNs and that the addition of fuzzy logic controls the power usage to make the system practical for real-world use.

文摘Soft robots have partially or entirely provided versatile opportunities for issues or roles that cannot be addressed by conventional machine robots,although most studies are limited to designs,controls,or physical/mechanical motions.Here,we present a transformable,reconfigurable robotic platform created by the integration of magnetically responsive soft composite matrices with deformable multifunctional electronics.Magnetic compounds engineered to undergo phase transition at a low temperature can readily achieve reversible magnetization and conduct various changes of motions and shapes.Thin and flexible electronic system designed with mechanical dynamics does not interfere with movements of the soft electronic robot,and the performances of wireless circuit,sensors,and devices are independent of a variety of activities,all of which are verified by theoretical studies.Demonstration of navigations and electronic operations in an artificial track highlights the potential of the integrated soft robot for on-demand,environments-responsive movements/metamorphoses,and optoelectrical detection and stimulation.Further improvements to a miniaturized,sophisticated system with material options enable in situ monitoring and treatment in envisioned areas such as biomedical implants.

文摘In the RSSI-based positioning algorithm,regarding the problem of a great conflict between precision and cost,a low-power and low-cost synergic localization algorithm is proposed,where effective methods are adopted in each phase of the localization process and fully use the detective information in the network to improve the positioning precision and robustness.In the ranging period,the power attenuation factor is obtained through the wireless channel modeling,and the RSSI value is transformed into distance.In the positioning period,the preferred reference nodes are used to calculate coordinates.In the position optimization period,Taylor expansion and least-squared iterative update algorithms are used to further improve the location precision.In the positioning,the notion of cooperative localization is introduced,in which the located node satisfying certain demands will be upgraded to a reference node so that it can participate in the positioning of other nodes,and improve the coverage and positioning precision.The results show that on the same network conditions,the proposed algorithm in this paper is similar to the Taylor series expansion algorithm based on the actual coordinates,but much higher than the basic least square algorithm,and the positioning precision is improved rapidly with the reduce of the range error.

文摘Wireless sensor network deployment optimization is a classic NP-hard problem and a popular topic in academic research.However,the current research on wireless sensor network deployment problems uses overly simplistic models,and there is a significant gap between the research results and actual wireless sensor networks.Some scholars have now modeled data fusion networks to make them more suitable for practical applications.This paper will explore the deployment problem of a stochastic data fusion wireless sensor network(SDFWSN),a model that reflects the randomness of environmental monitoring and uses data fusion techniques widely used in actual sensor networks for information collection.The deployment problem of SDFWSN is modeled as a multi-objective optimization problem.The network life cycle,spatiotemporal coverage,detection rate,and false alarm rate of SDFWSN are used as optimization objectives to optimize the deployment of network nodes.This paper proposes an enhanced multi-objective mongoose optimization algorithm(EMODMOA)to solve the deployment problem of SDFWSN.First,to overcome the shortcomings of the DMOA algorithm,such as its low convergence and tendency to get stuck in a local optimum,an encircling and hunting strategy is introduced into the original algorithm to propose the EDMOA algorithm.The EDMOA algorithm is designed as the EMODMOA algorithm by selecting reference points using the K-Nearest Neighbor(KNN)algorithm.To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm,the EMODMOA algorithm was tested at CEC 2020 and achieved good results.In the SDFWSN deployment problem,the algorithm was compared with the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II(NSGAII),Multiple Objective Particle Swarm Optimization(MOPSO),Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm based on Decomposition(MOEA/D),and Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimizer(MOGWO).By comparing and analyzing the performance evaluation metrics and optimization results of the objective functions of the multi-objective algorithms,the algorithm outperforms the other algorithms in the SDFWSN deployment results.To better demonstrate the superiority of the algorithm,simulations of diverse test cases were also performed,and good results were obtained.

文摘In indoor environments,various batterypowered Internet of Things(IoT)devices,such as remote controllers and electronic tags on high-level shelves,require efficient energy management.However,manually monitoring remaining energy levels and battery replacement is both inadequate and costly.This paper introduces an energy management system for indoor IoT,which includes a mobile energy station(ES)for enabling on-demand wireless energy transfer(WET)in radio frequency(RF),some energy receivers(ERs),and a cloud server.By implementing a two-stage positioning system and embedding energy receivers into traditional IoT devices,we robustly manage their energy storage.The experimental results demonstrate that the energy receiver can harvest a minimum power of 58 mW.

文摘Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technology has recently been widely integrated into multi-access edge computing (MEC) to support task offloading in industrial wireless networks (IWNs) with limited radio resources. This paper minimizes the system overhead regarding task processing delay and energy consumption for the IWN with hybrid NOMA and orthogonal multiple access (OMA) schemes. Specifically, we formulate the system overhead minimization (SOM) problem by considering the limited computation and communication resources and NOMA efficiency. To solve the complex mixed-integer nonconvex problem, we combine the multi-agent twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (MATD3) and convex optimization, namely MATD3-CO, for iterative optimization. Specifically, we first decouple SOM into two sub-problems, i.e., joint sub-channel allocation and task offloading sub-problem, and computation resource allocation sub-problem. Then, we propose MATD3 to optimize the sub-channel allocation and task offloading ratio, and employ the convex optimization to allocate the computation resource with a closed-form expression derived by the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions. The solution is obtained by iteratively solving these two sub-problems. The experimental results indicate that the MATD3-CO scheme, when compared to the benchmark schemes, significantly decreases system overhead with respect to both delay and energy consumption.

文摘Triboelectric nanogenerators(TENGs)have emerged as promising candidates for integrating with flexible electronics as self-powered systems owing to their intrinsic flexibility,biocompatibility,and miniaturization.In this study,an improved flexible TENG with a tile-nanostructured MXene/polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA)composite electrode(MP-TENG)is proposed for use in wireless human health monitor.The multifunctional tile-nanostructured MXene/PMMA film,which is self-assembled through vacuum filtration,exhibits good conductivity,excellent charge capacity,and high flexibility.Thus,the MXene/PMMA composite electrode can simultaneously function as a charge-generating,charge-trapping,and charge-collecting layer.Furthermore,the charge-trapping capacity of a tile nanostructure can be optimized on the basis of the PMMA concentration.At a mass fraction of 4%PMMA,the MP-TENG achieves the optimal output performance,with an output voltage of 37.8 V,an output current of 1.8μA,and transferred charge of 14.1 nC.The output power is enhanced over twofold compared with the pure MXene-based TENG.Moreover,the MP-TENG has sufficient power capacity and durability to power small electronic devices.Finally,a wireless human motion monitor based on the MP-TENG is utilized to detect physiological signals in various kinematic motions.Consequently,the proposed performance-enhanced MP-TENG proves a considerable potential for use in health monitoring,telemedicine,and self-powered systems.

文摘Conformable and wire-less charging energy storage devices play important roles in enabling the fast development of wearable,non-contact soft electronics.However,current wire-less charging power sources are still restricted by limited flexural angles and fragile connection of components,resulting in the failure expression of performance and constraining their fur-ther applications in health monitoring wearables and moveable artificial limbs.Herein,we present an ultracompatible skin-like integrated wireless charging micro-supercapacitor,which building blocks(including electrolyte,electrode and substrate)are all evaporated by liquid precursor.Owing to the infiltration and permeation of the liquid,each part of the integrated device attached firmly with each other,forming a compact and all-in-one configuration.In addition,benefitting from the controllable volume of electrode solution precursor,the electrode thickness is easily regulated varying from 11.7 to 112.5μm.This prepared thin IWC-MSC skin can fit well with curving human body,and could be wireless charged to store electricity into high capacitive micro-supercapacitors(11.39 F cm-3)of the integrated device.We believe this work will shed light on the construction of skin-attachable electronics and irregular sensing microrobots.

文摘The structural optimization of wireless sensor networks is a critical issue because it impacts energy consumption and hence the network’s lifetime.Many studies have been conducted for homogeneous networks,but few have been performed for heterogeneouswireless sensor networks.This paper utilizes Rao algorithms to optimize the structure of heterogeneous wireless sensor networks according to node locations and their initial energies.The proposed algorithms lack algorithm-specific parameters and metaphorical connotations.The proposed algorithms examine the search space based on the relations of the population with the best,worst,and randomly assigned solutions.The proposed algorithms can be evaluated using any routing protocol,however,we have chosen the well-known routing protocols in the literature:Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy(LEACH),Power-Efficient Gathering in Sensor Information Systems(PEAGSIS),Partitioned-based Energy-efficient LEACH(PE-LEACH),and the Power-Efficient Gathering in Sensor Information Systems Neural Network(PEAGSIS-NN)recent routing protocol.We compare our optimized method with the Jaya,the Particle Swarm Optimization-based Energy Efficient Clustering(PSO-EEC)protocol,and the hybrid Harmony Search Algorithm and PSO(HSA-PSO)algorithms.The efficiencies of our proposed algorithms are evaluated by conducting experiments in terms of the network lifetime(first dead node,half dead nodes,and last dead node),energy consumption,packets to cluster head,and packets to the base station.The experimental results were compared with those obtained using the Jaya optimization algorithm.The proposed algorithms exhibited the best performance.The proposed approach successfully prolongs the network lifetime by 71% for the PEAGSIS protocol,51% for the LEACH protocol,10% for the PE-LEACH protocol,and 73% for the PEGSIS-NN protocol;Moreover,it enhances other criteria such as energy conservation,fitness convergence,packets to cluster head,and packets to the base station.
