Characterization and Identification of Coal and Carbonaceous Shale Using Visible and Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy by En Yang, Shirong Ge, Shibo Wang

“…Because of the high organic carbon concentration in carbonaceous shale, a large proportion of carbonaceous shales are often misclassified into coals using visible and near-infrared (VIS-NIR) reflectance spectroscopy in the field of coal-gangue identification of hyperspectral remote sensing of coal mine. In order to study spectral characterization of coal and carbonaceous shale, three bituminite samples and three carbonaceous shales were collected from a coal mine of China, and their spectral reflectance curves were obtained by a field spectrometer in the wavelength range of 350–2500 nm. …”

A feasibility study on using soft insoles for estimating 3D ground reaction forces with incorporated 3D-printed foam-like sensors by Nick Willemstein, Saivimal Sridar, Herman van der Kooij, Ali Sadeghi

“…These results were comparable to or outperformed other works that used commercial force-sensing resistors with machine learning. Four participants participated in three trials over a week, which showed a decrease in estimation performance over time but stayed on average 11.35% RMS and 8.6% MAE after a week with the performance seeming consistent between days two and seven. …”
