Abstract

An onboard charger for both single-phase (level-1 and level-2, up to 19.2 kW) and three-phase (level-3, above 20 kW) charging of battery in plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). The charger is integrated with the propulsion machine-inverter group residing in the PEV, and is controlled to operate in propulsion and battery charging modes.

Abstract

Accurate, reliable measurement of ultraviolet (UV) radiation is needed in a range of applications. Current UV measurement techniques include silicon (Si) based detectors, which can include Si based UV sensitive photodiodes, combined with Si based amplifiers and optical filters to remove non-UV wavelengths to which Si based UV sensitive photodiodes can also be sensitive.

Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and methods for optimizing bidding in a business-to-business environment. Initially the observed outcomes for n deals are received, and the belief parameters for these n deals are calculated. The Bayes-greedy price is then calculated and presented to a buyer. The buyer's response is collected and an optimal variance parameter based on the buyer's response is generated. The belief parameters for these n+1 deals are also updated. This process may be repeated for additional deals.

A University of Maryland (UMD) team has been awarded a $1 million grant by the National Science Foundation’s Integrative Strategies for Understanding Neural and Cognitive Systems (NCS) program to investigate the complex effects of intestinal serotonin on both gut and brain health.

"Modeling Animal Dispersal: Linking the Ideal to the Real" is a five-year, $180,000 grant. Animal movement behaviors fundamentally influence the dynamics of populations and the interactions of species. Consequently, understanding animal movement is crucial to understanding ecological processes such as the growth and decline of wildlife populations and the spread of disease.

Much previous research has established that listeners and readers routinely generate context-based predictions that constrain perception and interpretation of language, but the form of this top-down/bottom-up interaction is still hotly debated. One critical question is how far down the processing hierarchy predictions are propagated—e.g. if ‘I heard a dog…’ predicts the word ‘bark’, does this modulate neural responses in units that represent lower-level speech sounds and acoustic features, as well as higher-level semantic units?
