Electronic Reconstruction at the Quasicrystal-Moiré Crossover in Twisted Bilayer Graphene

Large twist angles in twisted bilayer graphene are widely expected to be electronically trivial, with negligible interlayer coupling and no electronic reconstruction, in contrast to the rich moiré-driven band reconstruction and correlated physics that emerge at small twist angles. Here, we show that this paradigm breaks down near a twist angle of 29°, where the system crosses over between quasicrystalline and commensurate order. Atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy directly reveals the coexistence of near-dodecagonal quasicrystalline symmetry and emerging moiré periodicity, indicating an intermediate, nonperiodic structural regime. Magnetotransport measurements uncover strong interlayer hybridization mediated by Umklapp scattering, manifested by magneto-intersubband oscillations and a highly unconventional Landau-level spectrum. Remarkably, the Landau-level degeneracy evolves from 4- to 12-fold with increasing temperature, a behavior incompatible with two decoupled graphene monolayers. These findings establish large-angle twisted bilayer graphene as a platform where quasiperiodic symmetry fundamentally reshapes low-energy electronic states beyond the conventional moiré framework.

IntenBot: Flexible and Imprecise Multimodal Input for LLMs to Understand User Intentions for Casual and Human-Like HRI

In natural human-to-human communication, multimodal user input is typically used to supplement explicit and complement implicit voice commands, with casualness allowing for flexible input modality combinations and tolerance for imprecise input data. For example, saying "I want that." with a casual glance at a bottle of water is clear enough in human-to-human communication as an implicit voice command accompanied by gaze and/or gestures, rather than an explicit one. To enable such a human-like interaction in human-robot interaction (HRI), we propose a system, IntenBot, to understand user intentions from flexible and imprecise multimodal input, including voice, gaze, and finger-pointing, in XR. The disambiguation capability of large language models (LLMs) is used to filter out irrelevant input modalities and imprecise input data, generating potential instructions for user confirmation. The flexible and imprecise multimodal input enables casual, human-like interaction with robots, reducing time, effort, and attention, and could also be used as non-voice input. We conducted an informative user behavior study in a simulated environment to understand users' natural be- havior in flexibly interacting with a robot using multimodal input and to obtain appropriate angle range parameters for gaze and finger-pointing. An XR study was then performed to evaluate the performance of IntenBot, compared with other methods. We also deployed IntenBot on a physical robot to showcase its real-world applications.

Automated Defect Detection for Mass-Produced Electronic Components Based on YOLO Object Detection Models

Since the defect detection of conventional industry components is time-consuming and labor-intensive, it leads to a significant burden on quality inspection personnel and makes it difficult to manage product quality. In this paper, we propose an automated defect detection system for the dual in-line package (DIP) that is widely used in industry, using digital camera optics and a deep learning (DL)-based model. The two most common defect categories of DIP are examined: (1) surface defects, and (2) pin-leg defects. However, the lack of defective component images leads to a challenge for detection tasks. To solve this problem, the ConSinGAN is used to generate a suitable-sized dataset for training and testing. Four varieties of the YOLO model are investigated (v3, v4, v7, and v9), both in isolation and with the ConSinGAN augmentation. The proposed YOLOv7 with ConSinGAN is superior to the other YOLO versions in accuracy of 95.50\%, detection time of 285 ms, and is far superior to threshold-based approaches. In addition, the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system is developed, and the associated sensor architecture is described. The proposed automated defect detection can be easily established with numerous types of defects or insufficient defect data.

Markov Modeling for Licensed and Unlicensed Band Allocation in Underlay and Overlay D2D

In this paper, a novel analytical model for resource allocation is proposed for a device-to-device (D2D) assisted cellular network. The proposed model can be applied to underlay and overlay D2D systems for sharing licensed bands and offloading cellular traffic. The developed model also takes into account the problem of unlicensed band sharing with Wi-Fi systems. In the proposed model, a global system state reflects the interaction among D2D, conventional cellular, and Wi-Fi packets. Under the standard traffic model assumptions, a threshold-based flow control is proposed for guaranteeing the quality-of-service (QoS) of Wi-Fi. The packet blockage probability is then derived. Simulation results show the proposed scheme sacrifices conventional cellular performance slightly to improve overlay D2D performance significantly while maintaining the performance for Wi-Fi users. Meanwhile, the proposed scheme has more flexible adjustments between D2D and Wi-Fi than the underlay scheme.

Transforming Multi-Concept Attention into Video Summarization

Video summarization is among challenging tasks in computer vision, which aims at identifying highlight frames or shots over a lengthy video input. In this paper, we propose an novel attention-based framework for video summarization with complex video data. Unlike previous works which only apply attention mechanism on the correspondence between frames, our multi-concept video self-attention (MC-VSA) model is presented to identify informative regions across temporal and concept video features, which jointly exploit context diversity over time and space for summarization purposes. Together with consistency between video and summary enforced in our framework, our model can be applied to both labeled and unlabeled data, making our method preferable to real-world applications. Extensive and complete experiments on two benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of our model both quantitatively and qualitatively, and confirms its superiority over the stateof-the-arts.
