CF-CoT: Enhancing Causal Reasoning in LLMs through Counterfactual Scenarios

2026-99-0728

5/15/2026

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 Systems

2026-99-0744

5/15/2026

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

A Bi-LSTM-GAN Based Method for Photovoltaic Data Imputation

2026-99-0745

5/15/2026

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

An Active Collision Avoidance Method for Automobiles Based on Driving Intention Recognition and Improved Driving Safety Field

2026-99-0740

5/15/2026

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 Microgrids

2026-99-0706

5/15/2026

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 Characteristics

2026-99-0711

5/15/2026

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

Semantic-Driven Mathematical Modeling and Adaptive Refactoring for Logistics Optimization: A Language-Model Orchestrated Optimization Pipeline

2026-99-0750

5/15/2026

While large language models (LLMs) offer a convenient natural language interface for logistics optimization problems, it remains challenging to directly generate reliable mathematical models and executable code from unstructured text requirements. LLMs tend to produce invalid constraints or syntactically incorrect code. In addition, traditional logistics optimization methods lack the flexibility to adjust warehouse rules or operational goals without manual expert intervention. To address these issues, we propose LOOP (a Language-Model Orchestrated Optimization Pipeline), which automatically translates natural-language requirements into optimization algorithm code while retaining the rigor of classical models and solvers. LOOP leverages task-specific agents to construct accurate mathematical models and adopts a difference-driven code generation approach. First, it synchronizes model changes into executable code via semantic mapping and ensemble difference analysis. Second, it

Fatigue Resistance of High-Pressure Hydrogen Storage Vessels with Aluminum Liner

2026-99-0731

5/15/2026

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 Dynamics

2026-99-0733

5/15/2026

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

Secondary Control Method for Parallel DC-DC Converters under FDI Attacks Based on Sliding Mode Observer

2026-99-0708

5/15/2026

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

Adaptive Speed-Regulated Impedance Control for Robotic Ultrasound Scanning: Reducing Constant-Force Tracking Errors

2026-99-0751

5/15/2026

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 Trucks

2026-99-0722

5/15/2026

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 Networks

2026-99-0732

5/15/2026

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 Relationship

2026-99-0752

5/15/2026

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 Traffic

2026-99-0749

5/15/2026

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

Research on Performance Prediction Methods for Centrifugal Refrigeration Compressors in Data Centers

2026-99-0725

5/15/2026

As the “digital brain” and core foundational support for the development of intelligent transportation and connected vehicles, the performance of data centers directly determines the operational capability of intelligent transportation systems. In the process of advancing the vehicle-road-cloud collaborative architecture, the demand for high-performance computing power in data centers has experienced explosive growth. The substantial increase in computing tasks has posed severe challenges to thermal management, making efficient and reliable cooling systems an indispensable core component. Centrifugal compressor water-cooling units are the mainstream cooling solution for large-capacity scenarios, and their design optimization is crucial for improving the energy efficiency and performance of the entire cooling system. This paper proposes a one-dimensional performance prediction method for centrifugal compressors based on an empirical loss model, and realizes the iterative calculation of

Crowd Counting Network for Risk Early Warning in Exhibition Scenarios

2026-99-0705

5/15/2026

As a densely populated public place, exhibitions feature spatial layouts with multi-area linkage and instantaneous crowd flow mutations. Thus, developing a crowd flow early warning system adapted to exhibition dynamics is a key focus at the public safety and smart exhibitions to avoid risks like local congestion-induced stampedes. In general, two core challenges in exhibition crowd counting: 1) Key dynamic gathering information is hidden in high frequency components, but no correlation mechanism between frequency components and scene has been established; 2) Instant crowd gatherings cause high-frequency local density mutations, leading to time delays and spatial ambiguity of dynamic signals. To solve these, we propose a novel Crowd Counting Network for Risk Early Warning in Exhibition Scenarios with two core modules: 1) A bidirectional feature filtering module optimizes frequency information through low-frequency suppression to reduce redundancy and high-frequency activation to

Linear Trajectory Planning of Hydrogen Storage Tank with Unequal Polar Holes

2026-99-0718

5/15/2026

In this paper, the design and process research of uniform filling linear trajectory for filament wound hydrogen storage tank with unequal polar holes are carried out. Firstly, by optimizing the slip coefficient, the winding angles of the left and right heads are smoothly and continuously transitioned to the cylindrical section. We study the necessary conditions for achieving the central angle of uniform filling, and calculate the tangent points of the trajectory line based on the continuous fraction principle. Meanwhile, the slip coefficients at the left and right ends that satisfy stable winding and uniform covering are determined. Based on the equal contour constraint conditions, we analyze the motion trajectory equation of the four-axis winding machine and convert it into the corresponding machine code for actual winding operations. Experimental results show that stable winding of fibers on the surface of the unequal-polar-hole mandrel is achieved, and uniform filling and winding
