CF-CoT: Enhancing Causal Reasoning in LLMs through Counterfactual Scenarios2026-99-07285/15/2026
Causal reasoning is the task to identify causal relations between a pair of events in a given context. However, causal reasoning in natural language remains a challenging task for large language models (LLMs), since they tend to mix correlation and causality and exhibit bias in their reasoning, especially by mistaking temporal proximity for causal relations. The problem is exacerbated by the models’ propensity to generate spurious justifications that confuses co-occurrence rather than actual causal relationships. Although CoT prompting has shown effectiveness in enhancing multi-step reasoning, it is prone to hallucination and spurious inferences, which generally dampens their capability to provide correct causal explanations. The variant of CoT, CoT-SC, is a more promising attempt at yielding consistent outputs by randomly sampling multiple reasoning paths, and voting for the most probable answer. However, for its implementation, CoT-SC also demands expensive computations. The

Wavelet-Based Spatio-Temporal Fusion Network for Electromyographic Decoding in Bionic Hand Control Systems2026-99-07445/15/2026
Surface electromyography (EMG) signals are essential for facilitating intuitive interactions between humans and bionic hands. However, their inherent non-stationarity, low signal-to-noise ratio, and significant inter-individual variability present considerable obstacles to precise decoding. To overcome these challenges, this study proposes a novel recognition framework combining wavelet packet decomposition and a dynamic graph convolutional-Transformer model. The process starts with multi-layer wavelet packet decomposition and adaptive threshold denoising, effectively removing noise while retaining critical signal features. Subsequently, a dynamic graph convolutional network is employed to capture spatial interactions among multi-channel electrodes, and a Transformer encoder models long-term temporal dependencies within the signals. By integrating these methods, the model generates a fused feature representation that incorporates both spatial and temporal correlations. Experimental

Fatigue Resistance of High-Pressure Hydrogen Storage Vessels with Aluminum Liner2026-99-07315/15/2026
Although carbon fiber-reinforced aluminum-lined hydrogen storage vessels (Type III) exhibit outstanding specific strength and specific stiffness, the constraints imposed by their design parameters on fatigue performance and ultimate load-bearing capacity remain incompletely elucidated. We propose a fatigue life prediction method for high-pressure vessels that couples progressive damage in the fiber composite with cumulative damage in the metallic liner, aimed at forecasting the fatigue performance of Type III pressure vessels under cyclic loading. Furthermore, a finite element analysis systematically investigates the influence of key design parameters, for nominal pressure, liner diameter and liner thickness, on fatigue performance and ultimate load-bearing capacity. Results indicate that fatigue life significantly decreases with increasing nominal pressure and liner diameter, with nominal pressure exerting a more pronounced effect. Notably, altering the autoclave pressure alone cannot

An Anthropomorphic Trajectory Optimization Research for Autonomous Vehicles Considering Omnidirectional Dynamics2026-99-07335/15/2026
The rapid development of autonomous driving technology has brought emerging opportunities to optimize the omnidirectional vehicle driving performance. However, its compliance with driving habits directly determines its social acceptance. Therefore, how to balance consistency between performance improvement and driving habits has become an important bottleneck restricting the rapid promotion of autonomous driving technology. Manual driving vehicles mostly focus on the safety of both longitudinal and lateral movements, and cannot cope with the vertical movement, let alone the performance of economy, comfort, and efficiency. In this context, this paper proposes an anthropomorphic trajectory optimization method incorporating vehicle omnidirectional dynamic characteristics and corresponding driving habits. Firstly, this paper explores vehicle dynamic characteristics in longitudinal, lateral, and vertical directions, and reveals the coupling effect of motion states during driving

An Active Collision Avoidance Method for Automobiles Based on Driving Intention Recognition and Improved Driving Safety Field2026-99-07405/15/2026
Active collision avoidance methods are crucial components of vehicle active safety systems, which can effectively prevent collisions or mitigate collision-induced losses. To address the limitations of existing methods, particularly their insufficient foresight in dynamic traffic environments, this paper proposes an active collision avoidance control method based on driving intention recognition and an improved Driving Safety Field (DSF) model to enable more proactive and stable collision avoidance. First, a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is trained using vehicle trajectory data from a public dataset to accurately identify the driving intentions of the obstacle vehicles, including Lane Change Left (LCL), Lane Keeping (LK), and Lane Change Right (LCR). Then, an improved potential field model is established, which incorporates vehicle acceleration to more comprehensively quantify the driving risk faced by the host vehicle within the DSF model framework. Subsequently, an active collision

A Hierarchical Distributed Architecture for Power Sharing and Average Voltage Regulation in AC/DC Microgrids2026-99-07065/15/2026
With the rapid growth of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics, energy storage systems, and wind power, hybrid AC/DC microgrids (H-MGs) are gradually emerging as a key technology for achieving efficient interconnection between generation units and load demands. However, issues such as communication delays, unequal power sharing, and the restoration of voltage and frequency in hybrid microgrids have posed serious threats to the stable operation of microgrids. We also need to appropriately adjust the simulation parameters to ensure that the proposed control framework maintains sufficient flexibility under different load conditions and achieves high operating efficiency in simulation. To tackle these challenges, this paper proposes a distributed secondary control strategy grounded in coordinated consensus and combined with droop-based interlinking converters (ICs) to realize power coupling between the AC and DC subgrids. The proposed method enables precise active-power sharing

Research on Three-Stage Pre-Charging Control of Cascaded Energy Storage Converters Considering Battery Characteristics2026-99-07115/15/2026
To address the issues of battery overcharge damage caused by voltage imbalance and excessive grid-connected inrush current when high-rate charge-discharge energy storage batteries are connected to the DC side of cascaded energy storage converters, this paper proposes a three-stage pre-charging control strategy considering battery characteristics. This strategy achieves rapid charging and voltage balancing control of energy storage modules through the orderly connection of three stages: “uncontrolled rectification - sorting and voltage balancing - balancing maintenance”. In the first stage, an uncontrolled rectification method with series soft-start resistors is adopted to reduce the inrush current at power-on. In the second stage, based on the FPGA parallel full-comparison sorting algorithm, the DC-side voltage of each sub-module is quickly balanced by switching sub-modules. In the third stage, the number of fixed sub-modules to be cut off is maintained to continuously optimize the

Local LLM Based Knowledge Graph in Power Domain Using Graph-Schema Reasoning and Retrieval-Augmented Generation2026-99-07565/15/2026
In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have shown great potential in many domains. However, their application in professional domains is often limited by problems like erroneous outputs and hallucinatory responses. Therefore, we present a framework that combines knowledge graphs (KGs) with local LLMs. The framework utilizes the factual information in KGs to improve the initial output of the LLMs, thereby reducing the factual errors in inference. In this paper, a domain knowledge graph is automatically constructed using textual data from the power industry. The KG contains 149,732 entities and 139,280 relationships. The proposed method is tested on EleQA, a public Q&A dataset of electricity regulations. Compared with the LLM-only baseline, the knowledge-graph-enhanced model achieves an improvement of 32.42%. Moreover, the framework shows strong adaptability and performs well on various LLMs. Our framework improves the accuracy and utility of large language models in the power

A Bi-LSTM-GAN Based Method for Photovoltaic Data Imputation2026-99-07455/15/2026
This study addresses data loss in photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems resulting from factors such as adverse weather and sensor failures. To obtain more accurate and reliable PV data, we propose a data imputation method based on a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Generative Adversarial Network (Bi-LSTM-GAN). In this model, the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) serves as the overarching framework, while the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and its bidirectional variant, the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM), form the core components for learning and reconstructing missing data sequences. The key innovation of this method lies in replacing the traditional fully connected layer in the GAN with a Bi-LSTM-based architecture, which enables the model to effectively capture the latent temporal information in PV power generation data. The temporal correlation module is designed to capture the temporal dependencies and the characteristics of event series. Furthermore, by

To enhance the safety and efficiency of power batteries for new energy vehicles, a high-fidelity thermal management simulation model for lithium-ion batteries was established using a multi-scale coupled approach encompassing "cell-module-pack" levels. Charge/discharge experiments within the 15–45°C temperature range and under various State of Charge (SOC) conditions were conducted to obtain cell characteristic parameters. A second-order RC equivalent circuit model was constructed and validated. A three-dimensional thermal model of the battery pack was developed using the NX and STAR-CCM+software platforms and validated through high/low-temperature humidity tests. Results indicate that simulation errors for battery pack temperature and cooling line pressure were both below 3%. The model accurately simulates thermal behavior from microscopic cell characteristics to macroscopic battery pack dynamics.

Robotic ultrasound scanning technology is a research hotspot in the field of medical imaging, and can achieve standardized and high-precision data acquisition. However, large force tracking errors occur during scanning, especially in complex human tissues, which can severely degrade image quality and diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, we propose an adaptive speed-regulated impedance control strategy to address this challenge, which innovatively combines the spline real-time interpolation and impedance control for constant force tracking. Firstly, the discrete ultrasound scanning paths are fitted to generate a smooth and synchronized interpolation trajectory. Then, the speed of the reference trajectory is adjusted in real time based on the Taylor formula to reduce the force tracking error. Experimental verification was conducted, and the results showed that the force tracking error increases with the increase of trajectory speed. In addition, at high speeds (e.g., 10 mm/s), the mean

Research on Waste Heat Recovery Characteristics of Electric Drive System in Hybrid Electric Light-Duty Trucks2026-99-07225/15/2026
Aimed at the high energy consumption for battery heating of a light hybrid truck in low-temperature winter, this paper proposes an optimized battery thermal management scheme based on motor waste heat and PTC cooperation. Then it verifies its energy-saving performance based on multi-condition simulation and testing. Taking the constant-speed condition at -5°C as an example, firstly, the accuracy of the battery thermal management model is verified by comparative simulation and test. Then, based on the verified model, the battery thermal management model is simulated under typical winter conditions at 0°C and 5°C. The analysis results show that, when the battery temperature is raised from the initial state to a certain target, the energy consumption of the motor waste heat-assisted PTC heating scheme is obviously less than that of PTC heating. The energy saving rates are 33.137% at -5°C, 32.45% at 0°C, and 32.56% at 5°C, respectively. The research results have proved that the effective

Research on a Lightweight Assistive Manipulator for Insulated Short-Stick Live-Line Operations in Distribution Networks2026-99-07325/15/2026
With the continuous economic development and the rapid advancement of urbanization, the stable operation of distribution networks has become a key factor in ensuring the reliability of power systems. In response to the problems of high risk, high labor intensity, and low efficiency in distribution network operations, this paper designs an auxiliary operation mechanical arm for distribution networks. This auxiliary operation mechanical arm is fixed on the working bucket of an insulated boom truck. The main body is a two-degree- of-freedom SCARA mechanical arm that moves in a plane, and the end is connected to a three-degree-of-freedom end effector through a flange to cooperate in completing the pitch, deflection, axial feed, and clamping of insulated rods, achieving coarse positioning in the plane and precise positioning of the target. The auxiliary mechanical arm operation platform adopts a fully insulated design. The platform is made of glass nylon material, and the edges are rounded

Driving Behavior Heterogeneity Identification with Action Patterns Relationship2026-99-07525/15/2026
Identifying driving heterogeneity is critical for enhancing the strategy learning capabilities of autonomous driving systems, as well as improving their safety and efficiency. This research proposes a novel driving heterogeneity identification framework. The framework consists of three core processes: action phase extraction, action relationship modeling, and behavior heterogeneity identification. First, a rule-based segmentation method is employed to systematically decode and interpret the inherent variations in human driving behavior. Subsequently, an action relationship modeling method is introduced to characterize the temporal relations between the acquired action phases. Finally, to mitigate the inaccurate identification caused by the sparse distribution of critical driving events in long-sequence data, a semantic encoding method is applied to remap the driving behavior space. Experimental results on the Lyft level-5 dataset validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework

Diffusion Framework with Cross-Modality Fusion Perception for Autonomous Driving in Urban Traffic2026-99-07495/15/2026
End-to-end autonomous driving in urban environments faces three core challenges. First, camera and LiDAR sensor heterogeneity causes cross-modal perception inconsistencies and sensor fusion instability. Second, diffusion models suffer from training instability due to scale variance and distribution changes, which limits generalization. Third, traditional trajectory decoders lack structured interaction with semantic elements, thereby undermining planning rationality. To address these issues, CMFPNet introduces an integrated framework with three key modules. The HGCF-Backbone integrates LiDAR and camera features using channel focus, deformable cross-focus, and state space modeling to enhance semantic alignment. The NST module maps physical trajectories to normalized space, employing truncated diffusion sampling for stable generation in just 2–4 steps. The NDA models trajectory generation as a semantic narrative, utilizing a six-stage semantic attention flow incorporating BEV context

Secondary Control Method for Parallel DC-DC Converters under FDI Attacks Based on Sliding Mode Observer2026-99-07085/15/2026
Currently, with the continuous development of electric vehicles, DC microgrids have attracted widespread attention due to their flexible access methods and high energy transmission efficiency. However, since the distributed secondary control of DC microgrids relies on information exchange through communication networks, false data injection (FDI) attacks on these networks may cause control algorithms to fail, leading to voltage deviations, output current imbalance, and in severe cases, system instability. This study focuses on DC microgrids based on parallel DC–DC buck converters and proposes a distributed secondary control strategy based on a sliding mode observer to address FDI attacks. By treating the system's FDI attack signals as an extended state, an extended sliding mode observer is designed to track the attack signals. Based on the observed attacks, a control algorithm is proposed that compensates the control inputs through the observer, ensuring proportional sharing of bus

Design of a Novel Intelligent Monitoring Platform for Low and Medium Altitudes2026-99-07395/15/2026
This paper presents the design of a novel intelligent monitoring platform for low and medium altitudes, aiming to offer a new solution for the development of intelligent equipment operating in this airspace. Current monitoring tasks are primarily performed by fixed-wing and multi-rotor UAVs, but these platforms face significant technical bottlenecks in flight endurance and monitoring precision. This research aims to address these deficiencies. The platform is based on a small-scale unmanned airship featuring a semi-rigid, hybrid lift-body structure. Improvements were made upon the traditional ellipsoidal hull; the hull profile was optimized using a geometric superposition method, introducing an aerodynamic camber line with a maximum camber (m) of 4% to enhance aerodynamic performance at small angles of attack. In terms of its energy system, the platform is powered by a purely electric energy system composed of solar panels and batteries; solar energy is used during the day, while
