Fast Channel Navigation of Internet Protocol Television Using Adaptive Hybrid Delivery Method by Timothy T. Adeliyi, Oludayo O. Olugbara

“…The overarching objective of this paper is to use a hybrid delivery method that agglutinates multicast- and unicast-enabled services over a converged network to minimize zapping delay to the bare minimum. The hybrid method will deliver Internet protocol television channels to subscribers using the unicast stream coupled with differentiated service quality of experience when zapping delay is greater than 0.43 s. …”

Fuzzy Semiactive Vibration Control of Structures Using Magnetorheological Elastomer by Xuan Bao Nguyen, Toshihiko Komatsuzaki, Yoshio Iwata, Haruhiko Asanuma

“…Secondly, the fuzzy semiactive vibration control with a strategy based on the Lyapunov theory and dynamic characteristic of MREs was proposed for minimizing the movement of the isolator. In the conventional semiactive algorithm, the command applied current of MRE-based isolator is set at either minimum or maximum value which causes high acceleration and jerk peaks periodically, thus leading to the degeneration of the overall system quality. …”

Observation of the non-Hermitian skin effect and Fermi skin on a digital quantum computer by Ruizhe Shen, Tianqi Chen, Bo Yang, Ching Hua Lee

“…We demonstrate this by systematically post-selecting ancilla qubits, as demonstrated through two paradigmatic non-reciprocal models on noisy quantum processors, with clear signatures of asymmetric spatial propagation and many-body “Fermi skin” accumulation. To minimize errors from inevitable device noise, time evolution is performed using trainable, variationally optimized quantum circuits. …”
