Andrey Guzhov, Federico Raue, Joern Hees, Andreas Dengel

Summary: The field of sound classification has benefited greatly from methods of other domains. The trend is now to combine domain-specific tasks and approaches, resulting in exceptional models. AudioCLIP is an extension of the CLIP model that can handle audio as well as text and images, while maintaining zero-shot capabilities. It achieves state-of-the-art results in the ESC task and sets new baselines for zero-shot ESC tasks.

Uncertainty-oriented optimal PID control design framework for piezoelectric structures based on subinterval dimension-wise method (SDWM) and non-probabilistic time-dependent reliability (NTDR) analysis

Lei Wang, Yuanyuan Zhao, Jiaxiang Liu, Zheng Zhou

Summary: This paper proposes an NTDR reliability optimization framework for the piezoelectric active control system to solve the uncertainty problems in the system. A new controller design method is introduced using the response interval of the closed-loop system calculated by the novel SDWM. A new time-dependent reliability index is defined to calculate the time-dependent reliability of the piezoelectric system. The method's accuracy is validated through a Monte Carlo algorithm.

A review on various configurations of the passive tuned liquid damper

Tanmoy Konar, Aparna (Dey) Ghosh

Summary: Passive tuned liquid dampers are cost-effective, easy to implement, and reliable structural vibration control devices that have received significant attention from designers and researchers. While there have been developments in a variety of configurations, only a few types of tuned liquid dampers have been implemented in real-life structures, highlighting the need for further refinement. This paper presents a systematic review on different configurations of tuned liquid dampers, focusing on the design, advantages, applicability, and real-life installations. The current gaps in development and scope of future developments are also identified.

A two-level adaptive chirp mode decomposition and tangent entropy in estimation of single-valued neutrosophic cross-entropy for detecting impeller defects in centrifugal pump

Govind Vashishtha, Sumika Chauhan, Nitin Yadav, Anil Kumar, Rajesh Kumar

Summary: A novel approach for identifying impeller defects in a centrifugal pump is demonstrated using single-valued neutrosophic cross-entropy (SVNCE) extracted from adaptive chirp mode decomposition (ACMD). ACMD decomposes acoustic signals into different modes by estimating instantaneous frequencies. The proposed scheme incorporates novel tangent entropy to select prominent modes and improve the performance of ACMD. The energy of each prominent mode is calculated under different health conditions of the impeller to determine energy interval ranges for unknown impeller defect conditions. These ranges are further converted into single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) for recognition of different impeller defects using the minimum argument principle.

Effects of ultrasonic treatment on color, carotenoid content, enzyme activity, rheological properties, and microstructure of pumpkin juice during storage

Guanwen Suo, Chunli Zhou, Wei Su, Xueyan Hu

Summary: Ultrasonic treatment had little effect on the color parameters, carotenoid content, particle size distribution, and polydispersity of pumpkin juice. However, the L*, a*, b*, and C* values decreased significantly during storage, resulting in a significant increase in Delta E. Enzyme activity and rheological properties increased significantly in the later stages of storage. The microstructure of all samples did not change significantly during storage.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel method based on tangent hyperbolic fuzzy entropy measure to determine the sensitive frequency band for identifying defective components in an axial piston pump. The method decomposes the vibration signal into frequency bands and computes the energy of the WPT band. The proposed measure is used to identify the band with the most information, and envelope demodulation is performed on the sensitive band to identify defects.
