Multi-Condition Digital Twin Calibration for Axial Piston Pumps : Compound Fault Simulation

arXiv:2603.00199v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Axial piston pumps are indispensable power sources in high-stakes fluid power systems, including aerospace, marine, and heavy machinery applications. Their operational reliability is frequently compromised by compound faults that simultaneously affect multiple friction pairs. Conventional data-driven diagnosis methods suffer from severe data scarcity for compound faults and poor generalization across varying operating conditions. This paper prop

AIRMap: AI-Generated Radio Maps for Wireless Digital Twins

arXiv:2511.05522v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accurate, low-latency channel modeling is essential for real-time wireless network simulation and digital-twin applications. Traditional modeling methods like ray tracing are however computationally demanding and unsuited to model dynamic conditions. In this paper, we propose AIRMap, a deep-learning framework for ultra-fast radio-map estimation, along with an automated pipeline for creating the largest radio-map dataset to date. AIRMap u

New satellite photos show apparent attack on Iran nuclear site: report

Commercial satellite imagery has captured what appears to be the first known strikes on an Iranian nuclear site since the start of the US-Israeli air operation, an independent policy institute said on Monday. The Institute for Science and International Security said imagery produced by Colorado-based Vantor showed two strikes on access points to the underground uranium enrichment plant at Natanz, which was hit by the US last June. David Albright, a former UN ‌nuclear inspector and founder of the

US Space Command Among 'First Movers' in Strikes Against Iran

U.S. space and cyber forces were the “first movers” in this weekend’s strikes on Iran, Pentagon leaders say, helping create a path for the joint force to strike more than 1,000 targets in the campaign’s first 24 hours.

Europe's answer to Starship

In the summer of 2023, something happened that engineers had talked about for decades but few genuinely expected to see in their lifetimes. SpaceX's Starship, a stainless steel tower taller than a 30-story building, lit its 33 engines simultaneously and lifted off from the Texas coast. It did not go entirely to plan. But it went. And when the Super Heavy booster returned in flight test five to be caught, midair, by the enormous mechanical arms of its own launch tower, it was clear that the

How to weigh a killer asteroid at 22 kilometers per second

Estimating a mass for a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) is perhaps the single most important thing to understand about it, after its trajectory. Actually doing so isn't easy though, as the mass for objects in the tens to hundreds of kilometers in size are too small to have their mass calculated by traditional radio-frequency tracking techniques. A new paper from Justin Atchison of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and his co-authors proposes a method that could fi
