An Area Changeable Capacitive Micro-machined Accelerometer
Li Baoqing,Lu Deren,Wang Weiyuan
Strategic Study of CAE 2000, Volume 2, Issue 2, Pages 36-40
In this paper, a newly developed accelerometer based on the principle of area changeable capacitance is presented at the first time. The movable mass is designed as many bars connected together and suspended by elastic beams. Two comb-shaped fixed electrodes with their fingers side by side are alternately placed under the mass. The mass moves in the direction parallel with the substrate plane under the effect of acceleration. The movable mass and fixed electrodes compose a differential capacitor unit. It is concluded by theoretical analysis that the signal of the acceleration is only proportionally related to the area between movable mass and fixed electrodes but not related to the gap between them. The parasitic capacitance Cp between the mass and fixed electrodes and CB induced by boundary effect both lower the sensitivity of the accelerometer by about 20 % , and lead to a vertical effect on accelerometer that could be ignored if compared with the sensitivity. The quasi-LIGA technology with Ni as structure layer and Cu as sacrificial layer is used to fabricate the sensor chips. The fixed electrodes are fabricated on a glass substrate. A Cu sacrificial layer used to determine the gap between the mass and fixed electrodes is then electroplated with the fixed electrodes layer. Finally, the movable Ni mass is also electroplated with the Cu layer and is released after selective etch of the Cu layer. After packaging in IC ceramic die under atmosphere, the accelerometer is put on avibrator to be tested under a frequency of 25 Hz. The output signal is connected to the interface circuit with electric wires. The experimental results show that the accelerometer has typical sensitivity of 58.1 mV/ (m·s-2) and non-linearity of 4% FS in operating range of 20 m/s2. The obtained non-linearity is not ideal and the reason is discussed based on experimental conditions

Strategic Study of CAE 2002, Volume 4, Issue 8, Pages 50-53
It is discovered that the natural convection gas has the pendulum characteristic, so the new concept of gas pendulum is presented. In this paper, the buoyancy lift of natural convection gas is analyzed in a hermetic chamber, and given the formula between the buoyancy lift and the change of temperature. The results of experiment have shown that gas pendulum can be utilized to measure the acceleration and tilt angle as same as solid pendulum and liquid pendulum.

Viral load measurements are an essential tool for the long-term clinical care of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive individuals. The gold standards in viral load instrumentation, however, are still too limited by their size, cost, and sophisticated operation for these measurements to be ubiquitous in remote settings with poor healthcare infrastructure, including parts of the world that are disproportionately affected by HIV infection. The challenge of developing a point-of-care platform capable of making viral load more accessible has been frequently approached but no solution has yet emerged that meets the practical requirements of low cost, portability, and ease-of-use. In this paper, we perform reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) on minimally processed HIV-spiked whole blood samples with a microfluidic and silicon microchip platform, and perform fluorescence measurements with a consumer smartphone. Our integrated assay shows amplification from as few as three viruses in a ~ 60 nL RT-LAMP droplet, corresponding to a whole blood concentration of 670 viruses per μL of whole blood. The technology contains greater power in a digital RT-LAMP approach that could be scaled up for the determination of viral load from a finger prick of blood in the clinical care of HIV-positive individuals. We demonstrate that all aspects of this viral load approach, from a drop of blood to imaging the RT-LAMP reaction, are compatible with lab-on-a-chip components and mobile instrumentation.

The soft sensing of key performance indicators (KPIs) plays an essential role in the decision-making of complex industrial processes. Many researchers have developed data-driven soft sensors using cutting-edge machine learning (ML) or deep learning (DL) models. Moreover, feature selection is a crucial issue because a raw industrial dataset is usually high-dimensional, and not all features are conducive to the development of soft sensors. A perfect feature-selection method should not rely on hyperparameters and subsequent ML or DL models. Rather, it should be able to automatically select a subset of features for soft sensor modeling, in which each feature has a unique causal effect on industrial KPIs. Therefore, this study proposes a causal model-inspired automatic feature-selection method for the soft sensing of industrial KPIs. First, inspired by the post-nonlinear causal model, we integrate it with information theory to quantify the causal effect between each feature and the KPIs in the raw industrial dataset. After that, a novel feature-selection method is proposed to automatically select the feature with a non-zero causal effect to construct the subset of features. Finally, the constructed subset is used to develop soft sensors for the KPIs by means of an AdaBoost ensemble strategy. Experiments on two practical industrial applications confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method. In the future, this method can also be applied to other industrial processes to help develop more advanced data-driven soft sensors.

In direct torque control system, the PID controller is often adopted to be the speed adjuster. When disturbances are thrown to the motor, a long time is taken to renew the motor to steady state. In this paper, new auto-disturbance-rejection controller (ADRC) is introduced into direct torque control system. Instead of PID speed adjuster, ADRC speed adjuster is designed. The speed observer is designed based on model reference adaptive system (MRAS), too. The performance difference is analyzed between PID controller and ADRC in speed sensorless direct torque control system. The simulation results show that the AC speed adjustable system has speedier response performance, stronger disturbance-rejection performance when ADRC is adopted. Moreover, according to simulation results, there is smaller warp between motor command speed and actual speed when motor parameters perturb.

The fifth-generation (5G) era has already arrived and many applications are prospering. The multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system is the key to enhancing channel capacity for both the fourthgeneration (4G) wireless communication and 5G systems. For a smartphone, the most challenging task for antenna engineers is to accommodate the numerous 4G and 5G multi-port antennas while avoiding mutual coupling problems (Li Y et al., 2009, 2012; Hong, 2017; Sharawi et al., 2017). Therefore, implementing multiple antennas within a small space is a worthwhile topic to study, especially for antennas operating at the same frequency.

This article focuses on the potential impact of big data analysis to improve health, prevent and detect disease at an earlier stage, and personalize interventions. The role that big data analytics may have in interrogating the patient electronic health record toward improved clinical decision support is discussed. We examine developments in pharmacogenetics that have increased our appreciation of the reasons why patients respond differently to chemotherapy. We also assess the expansion of online health communications and the way in which this data may be capitalized on in order to detect public health threats and control or contain epidemics. Finally, we describe how a new generation of wearable and implantable body sensors may improve wellbeing, streamline management of chronic diseases, and improve the quality of surgical implants.

An intelligent IEQ monitoring and feedback system: Development and applications Article
Yang Geng,Zhongchen Zhang,Juan Yu,Hongzhong Chen,Hao Zhou,Borong Lin,Weimin Zhuang
Engineering 2022, Volume 18, Issue 11, Pages 218-231 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2021.09.017
Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) significantly affects human health and wellbeing. Therefore, continuous IEQ monitoring and feedback is of great concern in both the industrial and academic communities. However, most existing studies only focus on developing sensors that cost-effectively promote IEQ measurement while ignoring interactions between the human side and IEQ monitoring. In this study, an intelligent IEQ monitoring and feedback system (IBEM) is developed. Firstly, the IBEM hardware instrument integrates air temperature, relative humidity, CO2, particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter no greater than 2.5 μm (PM2.5), and illuminance sensors within a small device. The accuracy of this integrated device was tested through a co-location experiment with reference sensors; the device exhibited a strong correlation with the reference sensors, with a slight deviation (R2 > 0.97 and slopes between 1.01 and 1.05). Secondly, a wireless data transmission module, a cloud storage module, and graphical user interfaces (i.e., a web platform and mobile interface) were built to establish a pathway for dataflow and interactive feedback with the occupants of the indoor environments. Thus, the IEQ parameters can be continuously monitored with a high spatiotemporal resolution, interactive feedback can be induced, and synchronous data collection on occupant satisfaction and objective environmental parameters can be realized. IBEM has been widely applied in 131 buildings in 18 cities in China, with 1188 sample locations. Among these applications, we report on the targeted IEQ diagnoses of two individual buildings and the exploration of relationships between subjective and objective IEQ data in detail here. This work demonstrates the great value of IBEM in both industrial and academic research.
