基于IMU信号的人工智能上肢多关节运动状态识别系统构建——卒中后人工智能运动功能评估与检测系统建设前导研究 Construction of an Artificial Intelligence Upper Limb Multi-Joint Motion State Recognition System Based on IMU Signals—A Pre... by 程相鑫1，张烁1，杜松骏1，刘子阳1，周宏宇2，3，贾伟丽2，3，李子孝2，3，刘涛1 (CHENG Xiangxin1, ZHANG Shuo1, DU Songjun1, LIU Ziyang1, ZHOU Hongyu2,3, JIA Weili2,3, LI Zixiao2,3, LIU Tao1 )

“…The ablation experiment showed that the accuracy of elbow joint state classification exceeded that of dual IMU configuration (92.5% vs. 87.5%) when wrist IMU was used only, and the difference was not significant in other tasks. This suggested that optimizing sensor deployment (e.g., reducing upper arm IMUs) can reduce system complexity while maintaining high performance. …”

Coupling Coordination Development Between Cultivated Land and Agricultural Water Use Efficiency in Arid Regions: A Case Study of the Turpan–Hami Basin by Yue Kong, Abdugheni Abliz, Dongping Guo, Xianhe Liu, Jialin Li, Buasi Nurahmat

“…A coupling coordination degree model was constructed to evaluate their coordinated development level, with spatial autocorrelation and other methods used to examine spatiotemporal patterns. Key findings include: (1) The overall utilization efficiency of both resources was relatively low, with mean values of 0.516 and 0.596, showing a fluctuating upward trend and significant spatial heterogeneity; (2) The mean coupling coordination degree (CCD) ranked as follows: Barkol Kazakh Autonomous County (0.587) > Yiwu County (0.563) > Gaochang District (0.494) > Shanshan County (0.437) > Tuokexun County (0.417) > Yizhou District (0.342), with an annual growth rate of 4.6%; (3) Regional disparities were dominated by intra-regional differences (42.0%), followed by transvariation density (30.64%). …”

Intelligent diagnosis of gearbox in data heterogeneous environments based on federated supervised contrastive learning framework by Ruoyang Bai, Hongwei Wang, Wenlei Sun, Li He, Yuxin Shi, Qingang Xu, Yunhang Wang, Xicong Chen

“…Abstract To address the model training bottleneck caused by the coupling of data silos and heterogeneity in intelligent fault diagnosis, this study proposes a Federated Supervised Contrastive Learning (FSCL) framework. Traditional methods face dual challenges: on one hand, the scarcity of fault samples in industrial scenarios and the privacy barriers to cross-institutional data sharing result in insufficient data for individual entities; on the other hand, the data heterogeneity caused by differences in equipment operating conditions significantly diminishes the model aggregation effectiveness in federated learning. …”
