Deformation Relationship

Herein, we propose an approach for sensitivity improvement of dual-axis strain sensing using the property of a metasurface (MS) that the phase response shifts sharply with the MS deformation. A feasible approach for phase measurement is first demonstrated by calculating multi-polarized reception when the incident electromagnetic (EM) wave has anisotropic phase values. A flexible MS consisting of periodically arranged lantern-shaped elements is designed and fabricated for dual-axis strain sensing and evaluation based on the proposed method. The simulation and measurement results demonstrated a high sensitivity of the proposed MS for strain sensing in the microwave band. The method can be used potentially in both pressure and tensile sensing. Moreover, the operational frequency can be extended to the THz range and even to the optical band.

Discharge Detection

The phenomenon that often arises in a substation is the problem of partial discharge in outgoing cable insulation. Partial discharge is a jump of positive and negative ions that are not supposed to meet so that it can cause a spark jump. If a partial discharge is left too long it can cause insulation failure, the sound of snakes like hissing and the most can cause a flashover on the outgoing cable. Then a partial discharge detection prototype was made in the cable insulation in order to anticipate the isolation interference in the outgoing cable. Can simplify the work of substation operators to check the reliability of insulation on the outgoing side of each cubicle. So it was compiled as a method for measuring sound waves caused by partial discharge in the process of measuring using a microphone sensor, the Arduino Mega 2560 module as a microcontroller, the LCD TFT as a monitoring and the MicroSD card module as its storage. The microphone sensor is a sensor that has a high sensitivity to sound, has 2 analog and digital readings, and is easily designed with a microcontroller. Basically the unit of measure measured at partial discharge is Decibels. The results of the prototype can be applied to the cubicle and the way it works is to match the prototype to the outgoing cubicle cable then measure from the cable boots connector to the bottom of the outgoing cable with a distance of 1 meter. Then the measurement results will be monitored on the TFT LCD screen in the form of measurement results, graphs and categories on partial discharge. In this design the measurement data made by the microphone can be stored with microSD so that it can make an evaluation of partial discharge handling in outgoing cable insulation.

This chip has the properties of low power consumption and high resolution in the conventional mode. It runs with the peak power at 86.4μJ and the resolution of 0.1μT. The 12C5A60S2 MCU is chose as the data process and transfer unit. The data from the MCU is received by the principal computer through serial port. The measurement results, including the strength and the three component of magnetic field are displayed on PC by real-time curve through a VB programmed interface. The comparison between the measurements and the theoretical values shows that this instrument has the characteristic of high accuracy, high sensitivity and real-time display.

A strain sensor based on the composites of poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) filled by multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) was prepared using a proposed fabrication process. Three kinds of MWNT loadings, i.e., 1.0[Formula: see text]wt.%, 2.0[Formula: see text]wt.% and 3.0[Formula: see text]wt.% were employed. Due to good dispersion state of MWNT in PVDF-HFP matrix, which was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), this sensor was found to be of high sensitivity and stable performance. The sensor’s piezoresistivity varied in a weak nonlinear pattern, which was probably caused by the tunneling effect among neighboring MWNTs. The gauge factor of the sensor of 1.0[Formula: see text]wt.% MWNT loading was identified to be the highest, i.e., 33. This sensor gauge factor decreased gradually with the increase of addition amount of MWNT, which was 5 for the sensor of 3.0[Formula: see text]wt.% MWNT loading. This gauge factor was still higher than that of conventional metal-foil strain sensors. The electrical conductivity of PVDF-HFP/MWNT composites was also studied. It was found that with the increase of the addition amount of MWNT, the electrical conductivity of the PVDF-HFP/MWNT composites varied in a perfect percolation pattern with a very low percolation threshold, i.e., 0.77 vol.%, further indicating the very good dispersion of MWNT in the PVDF-HFP matrix.

Abstract Background: Integrated whole-body PET/MR technology continues to mature and is now extensively used in clinical setting. However, due to the special design architecture, integrated whole-body PET/MR comes with a few inherent limitations. Firstly, whole-body PET/MR lacks sensitivity and resolution for focused organs. Secondly, boarder clinical access of integrated PET/MR has been significantly restricted due to its prohibitively high cost. The MR-compatible PET insert is a low cost and flexible PET scanner which can be placed within an MRI bore. However, mobility and configurability of all existing MR-compatible PET insert prototypes remain limited. Methods: An MR-compatible portable PET insert prototype, Dual-panel Portable PET (DP-PET), has been developed for simultaneous PET/MR imaging. Using SiPM, digital readout electronics, novel carbon fiber shielding, phase-change cooling and MRI compatible battery power, DP-PET was designed to achieve high-sensitivity and high-resolution with compatibility with a clinical 3T MRI scanner. A GPU-based reconstruction method with Resolution Modelling (RM) has been developed for the DP-PET reconstruction. We evaluated the system performance on PET resolution, sensitivity, image quality and the PET/MR interference. Results: Initial results reveal that the DP-PET prototype worked as expected in the MRI bore and caused minimal compromise to the MRI image quality. The PET performance was measured to show a spatial resolution <= 2mm (parallel to the detector panels), maximum sensitivity =3.6% at the center of FOV and energy resolution = 12.43%. MRI pulsing introduces less than 1% variation to the PET performance measurement results. Conclusions: We developed a MR-compatible PET insert prototype and performed several studies to begin to characterize the performance of the proposed DP-PET.The results showed that the proposed DP-PET performed well in the MRI bore and would cause little influence on the MRI images. The Derenzo phantom test showed that the proposed reconstruction method could obtained high quality images using DP-PET.

High sensitivity methods such as next generation sequencing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are adversely impacted by organismal and DNA contaminants. Current methods for detecting contaminants in microbial materials (genomic DNA and cultures) are not sensitive enough and require either a known or culturable contaminant. Therefore, high sensitivity methods not requiring a priori assumptions about the contaminant are needed. We demonstrate the use of whole genome sequencing (WGS) and a metagenomic taxonomic classification algorithm for assessing the organismal purity of a microbial material. Using this proposed method we characterized the types of false positive contaminants reported and the dependence of detectable contaminant concentration on material and contaminant genome using simulated WGS data. Using the proposed method to characterize microbial material purity will help to ensure that the materials used to validate pathogen detection assays, generate genome assemblies for database submission, and benchmark sequencing methods are free of contaminants adversely impacting measurement results.
