SO <sub/>2</sub> -sensing properties of NiO nanowalls synthesized by the reaction of Ni foil in NH <sub/>4</sub> OH solution
摘要： Nickel oxide (NiO) is a p-type metal-oxide semiconductor with wide-ranging applications. Recent studies have focused on the gas-sensing properties of this semiconductor. This study introduces an easy process for growing NiO nanowalls on a glass substrate using Ni foil and aqueous NH4OH. The morphology and structure of the NiO nanowalls are investigated and confirmed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The gas-sensing properties of the prepared nanowalls are tested using a dynamic gas-testing system wherein the target gases are H2S, NO2, NH3 and SO2. Gas-sensing data show that the synthesized NiO nanowalls are highly responsive toward SO2. Additionally, a sensing device prepared based on the NiO nanowalls is found to be stable during measurements, exhibiting a linear variation with changes in SO2 concentration.

Hydrothermal synthesis of tellurium nanorods by using recovered tellurium from waste electronic devices
摘要： Tellurium (Te) nanostructures with controlled morphology have received considerable attention in various applications owing to tunable optic, thermoelectric, photoelectronic, piezoelectric, and electrochemical properties. Herein, we introduce the cost-effective and eco-friendly synthesis of Te nanorods (Te NRs) from end of life electronic devices via hydrothermal methods. The Te NRs show the average diameter of 44.6 nm and a length of 358 nm in presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone, as a stabilizing agent. Moreover, the bismuth and intact p-type semiconductor (i.e., Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3) are selectively recovered as intermediated products. The Te NRs exhibit the NO2 gas sensing properties with concentration as low as 1 ppm at room temperature and fast response/recovery times of 1.59 and 2.10 s at 1 ppm, respectively. We believe that this powerful approach can be expanded to not only selective recovery of valuable materials but synthesis of various nanomaterials from waste electronic devices.

Quality assessment and damage detection in nanomodified adhesively-bonded composite joints using inkjet-printed interdigital sensors
摘要： In this work, the development of a planar interdigital capacitive sensor, directly onto the surface of a composite, for determining the initial quality of curing of bonded composite joints and assessing their long-term durability is presented. The sensor consisted of an interlocking comb-shaped array of silver electrodes and used to monitor the progress of cure of an adhesive resin and the subsequent damage state of the bond line in adhesively-bonded composite joints using impedance spectroscopy. The obtained results from the mechanical characterization indicated that the developed sensor did not affect the quality of the bondline while the added weight of the sensor is negligible. The curing process of the adhesive epoxy was successfully monitored while the ability of the sensor to assess the developed damage created by the mechanical loading was confirmed using transient infrared thermography.

Spatiotemporal Adaptive Nonuniformity Correction Based on BTV Regularization
摘要： The residual nonuniformity response, ghosting artifacts, and over-smooth effects are the main defects of the existing nonuniformity correction (NUC) methods. In this paper, a spatiotemporal feature-based adaptive NUC algorithm with bilateral total variation (BTV) regularization is presented. The primary contributions of the innovative method are embodied in the following aspects: BTV regularizer is introduced to eliminate the nonuniformity response and suppress the ghosting effects. The spatiotemporal adaptive learning rate is presented to further accelerate convergence, remove ghosting artifacts, and avoid over-smooth. Moreover, the random projection-based bilateral filter is proposed to estimate the desired target image more accurately which yields more details in the actual scene. The experimental results validated that the proposed algorithm achieves outstanding performance upon both simulated data and real-world sequence.

[IEEE 2018 IEEE Biomedical Circuits and Systems Conference (BioCAS) - Cleveland, OH, USA (2018.10.17-2018.10.19)] 2018 IEEE Biomedical Circuits and Systems Conference (BioCAS) - Wireless Power and Data Link for Ensembles of Sub-mm scale Implantable Sensors near 1GHz
摘要： We describe a custom wireless power and data transmission (WPDT) link and analyze its performance in a prototype implantable sensor system of ensembles of CMOS sensor ASICs (“Neurograins”) embedding 0.5 mm x 0.5 mm planar microcoil antennas. We use near-field RF at ~1 GHz for wireless powering in a resonant 3-coil architecture including an implanted relay coil in a quadrant layout architecture to maximize coverage area and RF transfer efficiency. We demonstrate successful WPDT across antenna cross-section in benchtop proxy physiological tests. Demodulation and analysis of backscattered signals validate the data link fidelity. Our results suggest that this electromagnetic coupling scheme can robustly support a chip density of 250/ cm2 (up to 1024 individual Neurograins in a 2 cm x 2 cm area) and parallel transmitters can be combined to multiply the channel capacity without destructive interference.

Colloidal Rare Earth Vanadate Single Crystalline Particles as Ratiometric Luminescent Thermometers
摘要： Thulium/ytterbium-doped yttrium vanadate particles provide ratiometric thermal response as both colloids and powders via downshift or upconversion emissions. Here, we synthesized yttrium vanadates by controlled colloidal conversion of hydroxycarbonate precursors. A protected annealing process yielded single crystalline and readily dispersible particles that were manipulated individually by optical tweezers in water. Because individual particles displayed detectable emissions, this system has potential applications as a single-particle luminescent temperature sensor. Excitation on Yb3+ sensitizers (λexc=980 nm) or at vanadate groups (λexc=300 nm) resulted in Tm3+ emissions that effectively correlated with the temperature of the sample from 288 to 473 K with high relative thermal sensitivity (0.8-2.2% K-1), one of the highest reported for vanadate nanocrystals so far. Different pairs of Tm3+ transitions afford a ratiometric thermal response, which fitted common sensing requirements such as large [3F2,3→3H6 (λ=700 nm)/1G4→3H6 (λ=475 nm)] or small [3F2,3→3H6 (λ=700 nm)/1G4→3F4 (λ=650 nm)] spectral gaps, and emission wavelengths at the first near infrared biological window [3F2,3→3F4 (λ=700 nm)/3H4→3H6 (λ=800 nm)]. Our findings open new perspectives for the use of luminescent nanothermometers with controllable spatial localization, which is a remarkably interesting prospect to investigate microscopically-localized events related to changes in temperature.

摘要： Measurements of radio-frequency (RF) electric fields using atomic sensors based on quantum-optical spectroscopy of Rydberg states in vapors has garnered significant interest in recent years for the establishment of atomic standards for RF electric fields and towards the development of novel RF sensing instrumentation. Here we describe recent work employing atomic sensors for sub-wavelength near-field imaging of a Ku-band horn antenna. We demonstrate near-field imaging capability at a spatial resolution of λ/10 and measurements over a 72 to 240 V/m field range using off-resonance AC-Stark shifts of a Rydberg-atom resonance. A fiber-coupled atomic-sensor probe is also employed in far-field measurements of a WR-90 standard gain horn.

[IEEE 2018 International Multi-Conference on Industrial Engineering and Modern Technologies (FarEastCon) - Vladivostok, Russia (2018.10.3-2018.10.4)] 2018 International Multi-Conference on Industrial Engineering and Modern Technologies (FarEastCon) - Experimental Study of the Stress-Strain State Features of Outlet Guide Vane Made From Polymer Composite Material Using Fiber Optic Sensors
摘要： An estimation technique for the stress-strain state of the outlet guide vane design of an aircraft propulsion system made of polymer composite materials (PCM) using fiber-optic sensors is proposed. Fiber-optic sensors allow creating details with the possibility of self-diagnosis and forecasting the resource of work. This issue is particularly relevant when using PCM in highly loaded aircraft engine elements. The object of the study is the outlet guide vane (OGV) made of an equally strong carbon cloth on an epoxy binder. The tests were carried out on a universal servo-hydraulic machine. The data from fiber-optic sensors was carried out using an interrogator ASTRO X327. The comparison of the experiment and the numerical calculation were performed using the software package ANSYS.

[IEEE 2018 Innovations in Intelligent Systems and Applications (INISTA) - Thessaloniki (2018.7.3-2018.7.5)] 2018 Innovations in Intelligent Systems and Applications (INISTA) - Piezologist: A Novel Wearable Piezoelectric-based Cardiorespiratory Monitoring System
摘要： In this paper, the design, prototyping and software development of a novel wearable cardiorespiratory parameters monitoring sensor and software applications illustrated. Piezologist is an unobtrusive chest worn device. It comprises a patch-type sensor and a mobile application. The sensor utilizes piezoelectric material as the cardiorespiratory signal sensing component and MetaWearC board as the signal acquisition unit. The board also comes with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support which is utilized for the raw signal transmission. The novelty aspect of the system rests on the fact that not only using a single cheap piezoelectric sheet common cardiorespiratory parameters (such as heart rate, respiration rate, and cycles) were obtained similar to previous studies but ECG waveform and blood pressure data were also extracted successfully using the same sensor. In addition, sensor packaging design and prototyping and their effect on the acquired signal strength on one hand and the package size (volume and weight) on the other hand were studied and reported. For performance validation purpose, the developed cardiorespiratory monitoring system results were validated against two commercial sensor devices namely 3-lead ECG sensor from eHealth sensor kit and Zephyr belt-type BioHarness sensor, and the results were reported herein. The validation process outcomes confirmed that the cardiorespiratory signals extracted using Piezologist conform with a heartbeat, respiratory cycle and ECG waveform obtained using the commercial sensors. Furthermore, a usability study was conducted to compare the user experience offered by Piezologist for measuring cardiorespiratory parameters against the commercially available sensors. The study highlighted the potential that Piezologist will take over the commercial available belt-type, watch-type and 3-lead ECG sensors.

Comparing RGB-D Sensors for Close Range Outdoor Agricultural Phenotyping
摘要： Phenotyping is the task of measuring plant attributes for analyzing the current state of the plant. In agriculture, phenotyping can be used to make decisions concerning the management of crops, such as the watering policy, or whether to spray for a certain pest. Currently, large scale phenotyping in fields is typically done using manual labor, which is a costly, low throughput process. Researchers often advocate the use of automated systems for phenotyping, relying on the use of sensors for making measurements. The recent rise of low cost, yet reasonably accurate, RGB-D sensors has opened the way for using these sensors in field phenotyping applications. In this paper, we investigate the applicability of four different RGB-D sensors for this task. We conduct an outdoor experiment, measuring plant attribute in various distances and light conditions. Our results show that modern RGB-D sensors, in particular, the Intel D435 sensor, provides a viable tool for close range phenotyping tasks in fields.
