Ablation Properties of HfC-SiC-WC Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics Produced by Pressureless Sintering

Description: HfC-SiC is one of the leading thermal insulation ceramics that has the potential to perform well under high thermomechanical loads. In this study, we explore the use of pressureless sintering to produce this material at relatively low temperatures (2100 oC) and focus on understanding the effect of adding WC, in the 0 to 20 wt.% range, on its ablation resistance. The sintered samples were evaluated for their relative density, phase composition, morphology, microstructure, Vickers hardness, … more

An Analysis, Software Implementation, and Applications of Discrete-Time K-Winners-Take-All Neural Network

Description: The K-Winners-Take-All Neural Networks (KWTA NNs) identify the K largest or smallest among N inputs, where 1 ≤ K < N, and both K and N are any finite integers. These networks produce positive outputs corresponding to the K largest inputs, and negative (or zero) outputs for the remaining N − K inputs. KWTA NNs are used in numerous applications such as pattern classification, pattern recognition, parallel sorting, parallel filtering, adversarial defense, dynamic tracking of robot systems, and tel… more
