LiPo batteries dataset: Capacity, electrochemical impedance spectra, and fit of equivalent circuit model at various states-of-charge and states-of-health.

This dataset contains experimental data of capacity and electrochemical impedance of five Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries (model LP-503562-IS-3 manufactured by BAK Technology). All batteries have been subjected to hundreds of charge-discharge cycles to obtain their characteristics at different states-of-health. Capacities have been measured under both standard and stress conditions.

Dataset on broadband electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of Lithium-Ion batteries for different values of the state-of-charge.

This dataset consists of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements on commonly-used batteries, namely Samsung ICR18650-26J cylindrical Lithium-Ion cells. The complex impedance of the batteries was measured at a set of fourteen different frequencies from 0.05 Hz to 1000 Hz, using a random-phase multi-sine excitation signal.

Digital Impedance Emulator for Battery Measurement System Calibration.

Meaningful information on the internal state of a battery can be derived by measuring its impedance. Accordingly, battery management systems based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are now recognized as a feasible solutions for online battery control and diagnostic. Since the impedance of a battery is always changing along with its state of charge and aging effects, it is important to have a stable impedance reference in order to calibrate and test a battery management system.

Parkinson's Disease Patient Monitoring: A Real-Time Tracking and Tremor Detection System Based on Magnetic Measurements.

Reliable diagnosis of early-stage Parkinson's disease is an important task, since it permits the administration of a timely treatment, slowing the progression of the disease. Together with non-motor symptoms, other important signs of disease can be retrieved from the measurement of the movement trajectory and from tremor appearances. To measure these signs, the paper proposes a magnetic tracking system able to collect information about translational and vibrational movements in a spatial cubic domain, using a low-cost, low-power and highly accurate solution.

Development of an IoT Structural Monitoring System Applied to a Hypogeal Site.

This paper describes the development of a distributed sensing system that can be disseminated in an environment of interest to monitor the vibration of a structure. This low-cost system consists of several sensor nodes and a central receiving node. All nodes are built using off-the-shelf electronic components.

A Multi-Node Magnetic Positioning System with a Distributed Data Acquisition Architecture.

We present a short-range magnetic positioning system that can track in real-time both the position and attitude (i.e., the orientation of the principal axes of an object in space) of up to six moving nodes.

Geometric conductive filament confinement by nanotips for resistive switching of HfO2-RRAM devices with high performance.

Filament-type HfO2-based RRAM has been considered as one of the most promising candidates for future non-volatile memories. Further improvement of the stability, particularly at the "OFF" state, of such devices is mainly hindered by resistance variation induced by the uncontrolled oxygen vacancies distribution and filament growth in HfO2 films. We report highly stable endurance of TiN/Ti/HfO2/Si-tip RRAM devices using a CMOS compatible nanotip method.

Omega-3 fatty acid: a role in the management of cardiac arrhythmias?

Objective: The objective of this study was to review and evaluate published evidence on the use of omega-3 fatty acid in the prevention and treatment of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Postulated mechanisms of the antiarrhythmic effects of omega-3 fatty acid are discussed.

Data Sources: Peer-reviewed articles/abstracts published in English language were identified from MEDLINE and Current Content databases (both 1966 to May 15, 2008) using the search terms fish oil, omega-3 fatty acid, sudden death, ventricular arrhythmia, and atrial fibrillation.
