The design parameters of the antenna are similar to those of the sensor, which will increase the coupling strength between the sensor and testing antenna.

Compressive pressure parallel to the [110] direction, whose value is determined by Hooke＇s law, is imposed on the sample by a helix micrometer. With the increase of the applied external uniaxial compressive pressure, the blue shift and splitting of the luminescence peaks were observed, which have some influence on the I-V curve of RTS from the point of view of the energy gap, and the splitting became more apparent with applied pressure. Full width at half maximum broadening could also be observed.展开更多

The excitation spectrum （Bogoliubov spectrum） is obtained from the solution of the linearized time-dependent GP equation, which develops energy bands hωj（ p） periodic in quasi-momentum space. Moreover, we calculate the excitation strengths Zj（ p） relative to the density operator and then the dynamic structure factor S（ p,ω）. Accordingly, the analytical expressions of quantum depletion of the system are obtained. We find that the quantum depletion is enhanced when the interatomic interactions become larger and the potential is sufficiently deep. The conditions for the possible experimental realization of our scenario are also proposed.展开更多

The nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurement shows successful synthesis of MFST with an average pore size of 3.8 nm and a large specific surface area of55 m2·g-1. About 95% adsorption percentage of MO is achieved with an initial concentration of 10 mg·L-1in the dark and the MFST exhibits superior adsorption ability under acid conditions. The adsorption data fit well with the pseudo-second order model for adsorption. After 4 cycles, the adsorption rate for MO remains 74% in the dark and the MFST can be recovered in a magnetic field with a recovery of about 80 %(by mass). It demonstrates that the samples have significant value on applications of wastewater treatment.展开更多

When a retardation error or an orientation error of birefringence axes of 1/4λ wave plate with respect to the hi-bi fiber axes occurs in the 1/4λ wave plate, the sensor system will output a wrong result of the measured current. The contributions of these two errors to the final result of the whole system were studied and the errors functions were deduced by establishing the measurement function of the current sensor system with Jones matrixes of the optical elements. The results show that that the greater the orientation error or the retardation error, the larger the final error, and that these two errors cannot be compensated each other.展开更多

It was found that the three lowest modes(mode 0, mode 1 and mode 2) can be combined by the zero-order mode or/and the first-order modes of two single nanowires. Mode 0 has a higher figure of merit and the best performance among these modes within the parameter range of interest. The mode characteristics can be adjusted by changing the parameters of the waveguide. For example, the propagation length will be increased when the operating wavelength, the minimum spacing between the inner and outer cylinders, the inner cylinder radius and the Fermi energy are increased. However, when the outer cylinder radius, the dielectric constants of region Ⅰ, or the dielectric constants of region Ⅲ are increased, the opposite effect can be seen. These results are consistent with the results obtained using the finite element method(FEM). The waveguide structure designed in this paper is easy to fabricate and can be applied to the field of micro/nano sensing.展开更多

A comprehensive and continuous monitoring of human health requires highly integrated wearable and comfortable sensing devices. To address this need, we propose a low-cost electronic fabric-enabled multifunctional flexible sensing integration platform that includes a flexible pressure sensor for monitoring postural pressure, a humidity sensor for monitoring the humidity of the skin surface, and a flexible temperature sensor for visualizing the ambient temperature around the human body. Thanks to the unique rough surface texture, hierarchical structure, and robust electromechanical features of the MXene-modified nonwoven fabrics, the flexible pressure sensor can achieve a monitoring sensitivity of 1529.1 kPa~(-1) and a pressure range of 150 kPa, which meets the demand for human pressure detection. In addition, the unique porous structure of the fabric and the stacked multilayer structure of MXene enable the humidity sensor to exhibit extremely high monitoring sensitivity, even through clothing, and still be able to detect the humidity on the skin surface.Temperature sensors based on screen-printed thermochromic liquid crystals enable visual monitoring in the range of 0℃–65℃. Through further integration with flexible printed circuit board circuits, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept device that enables real-time monitoring of human physiological information such as physical pressure, humidity, and ambient temperature environment, suggesting that the device provides an excellent platform for the development of commercially viable wearable healthcare monitors.展开更多

The results show that that the greater the orientation error or the retardation error, the larger the final error, and that these two errors cannot be compensated each other.

文摘A kind of nested eccentric waveguide constructed with two cylindrical nanowires coated with graphene was designed.The mode characteristics of this waveguide were studied using the multipole method. It was found that the three lowest modes(mode 0, mode 1 and mode 2) can be combined by the zero-order mode or/and the first-order modes of two single nanowires. Mode 0 has a higher figure of merit and the best performance among these modes within the parameter range of interest. The mode characteristics can be adjusted by changing the parameters of the waveguide. For example, the propagation length will be increased when the operating wavelength, the minimum spacing between the inner and outer cylinders, the inner cylinder radius and the Fermi energy are increased. However, when the outer cylinder radius, the dielectric constants of region Ⅰ, or the dielectric constants of region Ⅲ are increased, the opposite effect can be seen. These results are consistent with the results obtained using the finite element method(FEM). The waveguide structure designed in this paper is easy to fabricate and can be applied to the field of micro/nano sensing.

文摘A novel method to enhance the robustness of the microcavity coupling system(MCS)is presented by encapsulating and solidifying the MCS with a low refractive index(RI)curable UV polymer.The encapsulating process is illustrated in detail for a typical microsphere with a radius of R about 240μm.Three differences of the resonant characteristics before and after the package are observed and analyzed.The first two differences refer to the enhancement of the coupling strength and the shift of the resonant spectrum to the longer wavelength,which are both mainly because of the microsphere surrounding RI variation.Another difference is the quality factor(Q-factor)which decreases from 7.8×10^(7)to 8.7×10^(6)after the package due to the polymer absorption.Moreover,rotation testing experiments have been carried out to verify the robustness of the package MCS.Experimental results demonstrate that the packaged MCR has much better robust performance than the un-package sample.The enhancement of the robustness greatly promotes the microcavity research from fundamental investigations to application fields.

文摘The optical properties of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots(QDs)embedded in polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)flexible materials after irradiated withγ-rays were studied.As an embedding matrix,PDMS exhibits the advantage of high radiation hardness.The luminescence spectra and fluorescence lifetime of the irradiated and unirradiated samples were tested.The fluorescence intensity of QDs decreases with the increase of the irradiation dose according to the result of luminescence spectra.The fluorescence intensity of the QDs decreases by 80%after irradiation with a dose of 1 kGy,but the position of the emission peak and the spectral shape of the QDs remain consistent before and after irradiation.In addition,the fluorescence lifetime of QDs is shortened after irradiation.Based on the fluorescence response of QDs to the irradiation ofγ-rays and combined with flexible materials,our work provides a theoretical basis for the application of QDs as a new wearable dosimeter.

文摘An improved denoising method and its application in pulse beat signal denoising are studied.The proposed denoising algorithm takes the advantages of local mean decomposition(LMD)and time-frequency peak filtering(TFPF),called L-T algorithm.As a classical time-frequency filtering method,TFPF can effectively suppress random noise with signal amplitude retained when selecting a longer window length,while the signal amplitude will be seriously attenuated when selecting a shorter window length.In order to maintain effective signal amplitude and suppress random noise,LMD and TFPF are improved.Firstly,the original signal is decomposed into progression-free survival(PFS)by LMD,and then the standard error of mean(SEM)of each product function is calculated to classify many PFSs into useful component,mixed component and noise component.Secondly,by using the shorter window TFPF for useful component and the longer window TFPF for mixed component,noise component is removed and the final signal is obtained after reconstruction.Finally,the proposed algorithm is used for noise reduction of an Fabry-Perot(F-P)pressure sensor.Experimental results show that compared with traditional wavelet,L-T algorithm has better denoising effect on sampled data.
文摘Tongue diagnosis is a non-invasive,efficient,and accurate method for determining a person’s physical condition,and plays an essential role in disease diagnosis and health management.However,tongue diagnosis is easily influenced by the subjective experience of the practitioner and the light environment.In addition,tongue diagnosis lacks clear quantitative indicators and objective records.This all limits the transmission and development of tongue diagnosis.Therefore,the acquisition and analysis of tongue information using image equipment,image processing and computer vision have become a hot research topic for the objectification of tongue diagnosis.This paper reviews the research progress of tongue diagnosis objectification in Traditional Chinese medicine.The tongue image acquisition,color correction,segmentation,feature extraction and analysis,and disease prediction included in the study of tongue diagnosis objectification are reviewed.The shortcomings of current automated tongue diagnosis systems and future research ideas are also summarized to provide a reference for further development of tongue diagnosis objectification.

文摘Real-time physiological information monitoring can predict and prevent disease, or improve treatment by early diagnosis. A comprehensive and continuous monitoring of human health requires highly integrated wearable and comfortable sensing devices. To address this need, we propose a low-cost electronic fabric-enabled multifunctional flexible sensing integration platform that includes a flexible pressure sensor for monitoring postural pressure, a humidity sensor for monitoring the humidity of the skin surface, and a flexible temperature sensor for visualizing the ambient temperature around the human body. Thanks to the unique rough surface texture, hierarchical structure, and robust electromechanical features of the MXene-modified nonwoven fabrics, the flexible pressure sensor can achieve a monitoring sensitivity of 1529.1 kPa~(-1) and a pressure range of 150 kPa, which meets the demand for human pressure detection. In addition, the unique porous structure of the fabric and the stacked multilayer structure of MXene enable the humidity sensor to exhibit extremely high monitoring sensitivity, even through clothing, and still be able to detect the humidity on the skin surface.Temperature sensors based on screen-printed thermochromic liquid crystals enable visual monitoring in the range of 0℃–65℃. Through further integration with flexible printed circuit board circuits, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept device that enables real-time monitoring of human physiological information such as physical pressure, humidity, and ambient temperature environment, suggesting that the device provides an excellent platform for the development of commercially viable wearable healthcare monitors.

文摘The practical application of rotating triboelectric nanogenerators is often limited by the wear of high-friction surface materials and low surface charge density.In addition to the charge pump replenishment strategy,suppressing charge decay is also crucial for increasing surface charge density.Here,we present a high performance rotary triboelectric nanogenerator(HPR-TENG)based on a coplanar charge pumping strategy and polyvinyl chloride(PVC)film.It has been demonstrated that applying PVC film to the surface of the storage electrode of the main TENG(M-TENG)significantly enhances the M-TENG’s output performance.Furthermore,the HPR-TENG with three layers of PVC film pasted achieved the best output performance,with a peak-topeak output voltage of 2828 V,a peak-to-peak output current of 327μA and a charge transfer of 0.81μC at 500 rpm.In addition,the output improvement effects of different materials are ranked.the TENG with 3 layers of PVC film pasted on it has a maximum output power of 748 mW at a load resistance of 4×10^(6)Ω.HPR-TENG’s output performance remains consistent after 100,000 cycles,which shows excellent stability.The excellent electrical performance of the HPR-TENG can be used as the energy supply for the tip high-voltage breakdown sensor system,which can achieve 14 breakdowns in 10 s.Due to its extraordinary electrical performance,HPRTENG can not only serve as an energy supply for cutting-edge high-voltage breakdown sensor systems,but also has the potential to serve as an energy supply for high-pressure sterilization,high-pressure vacuum and water electrolysis.
