Source: Ella M. Atkins, Department of Aerospace Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI Overview Autopilot allows aircraft to be stabilized using data collected from onboard sensors that measure the aircraft’s orientation, angular velocity, and airspeed. These quantities can be adjusted by the autopilot so that the aircraft automatically follows a flight plan from launch (takeoff) through recovery (landing). Similar sensor data is collected to control all types of aircraft, from...

One challenge of analyzing synchronized time-series experiments is that the experiments often differ in the length of recovery from synchrony and the cell-cycle period. Thus, the measurements from different experiments cannot be analyzed in aggregate or readily compared. Here, we describe a method for aligning experiments to allow for phase-specific comparisons.

Source: Ali Bazzi, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT. Three-phase wound-rotor synchronous generators are the main source of electrical power worldwide. They require a prime mover and an exciter in order to generate power. The prime mover can be a turbine spun by fluid (gas or liquid), thus the sources of the fluid can be water running off a dam through a long nozzle, steam from water evaporated using burned coal, etc. Most power plants including coal,...

Rotifers are microscopic zooplankton used as models in ecotoxicological and aging studies. Here we provide a protocol for powerful and reproducible measurement of survival time in Brachionus rotifers. Synchronization of culture conditions over several generations is of particular importance because maternal condition affects life history of offspring.

Using Informational Connectivity to Measure the Synchronous Emergence of fMRI Multi-voxel Information Across Time

Informational connectivity measures the correspondence between time courses of multi-voxel information across different brain regions. Multi-voxel pattern discriminability time series are extracted from regions and compared, revealing networks that are not identified in a typical functional connectivity approach.
FAQs
Event-driven updates notify connected systems when information changes, rather than waiting for a later, manually scheduled exchange. This reduces the delay between an observed event and its availability elsewhere. In behavior research, the approach helps align observations, sensor streams, surveys, and recorded interactions more closely with the moments when behavioral changes occur.
Timestamps and version numbers provide markers for detecting whether distributed copies contain newer or older information. They help systems recognize modifications and compare updates that arrive through network communication. For behavioral datasets, these markers support more accurate temporal relationships between an observation, a sensor signal, a survey response, and a recorded interaction.
Conflict-resolution rules determine how a system responds when updates occur simultaneously or when different copies contain competing changes. Without such rules, synchronization may leave distributed records inconsistent. Applying an explicit resolution process helps preserve coherence across copies, which is important when behavioral events are collected from several sources that may report changes at nearly the same time.
A practical workflow first identifies the observations or streams that must remain coordinated, then transfers changes through network communication as they occur. Timestamps or version numbers help detect modifications, while conflict-resolution rules address competing updates. Researchers can then connect the resulting synchronized records to analyze behavioral events with minimal delay.
Researchers would use it when observations, sensor streams, surveys, or recorded interactions need to be aligned while behavior is changing. The approach is especially relevant when delayed data exchange could weaken temporal connections between sources. Maintaining coordinated information allows researchers to monitor behavioral changes as they occur and relate events across multiple records.
Synchronized data improves temporal accuracy by helping researchers associate events across sources at the appropriate time. It can also support responsive experiments and interventions, because newly available information can inform action with minimal delay. More consistent distributed records strengthen analysis of dynamic behavior, particularly when changes unfold across observations, sensors, surveys, and recorded interactions.
