Detection of the Oxidation Area by Spectrophotometry: Regional and Temporal Changes in Anodic Oxidation on Titanium in Bipolar Electrochemistry.

This study investigated the temporal change in the oxidation area on a titanium (Ti) bipolar electrode (BPE) subjected to bipolar anodization in a direct current (DC) electric field using a spectrophotometer. The rectangular Ti sheet used as a BPE was horizontally positioned at the center of a cell. After the DC bipolar anodization, the oxidized area was detected nondestructively and visually using a specific interference color that depends on the thickness of the barrier-type oxide film formed on the Ti BPE.

Time-domain Mixup Source Data Augmentation of sEMGs for Motion Recognition towards Efficient Style Transfer Mapping.

Motion recognition based on surface electromyogram (sEMG) recorded from the forearm is attracting attention for its applicability because it easily integrates with wearable devices and has a high signal-to-noise ratio. Inter-subject variability and inadequate data availability are common problems encountered in classifiers. Transfer learning (TL) techniques can reduce the inter-subject variability; however, when the amount of data recorded from each source subject is small, the TL-combined classifier is prone to overfitting problems.

Effects of size and position of an unconnected aluminum electrode on bipolar anodization in an AC electric field.

The effects of the size and position of an aluminum bipolar electrode (BPE) on the uniformity of formation of anodic porous alumina in an alternating current electric field were investigated. Anodized specimens were dyed, and the resistance was measured after the specimens were anodized again. Phenomena observed during film formation indicated that the BPEs had unique potential distributions that strongly depended on their length and width.

Independent Low-Rank Matrix Analysis-Based Automatic Artifact Reduction Technique Applied to Three BCI Paradigms.

Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can potentially enable people to non-invasively and directly communicate with others using brain activities. Artifacts generated from body activities (e.g.

Facile synthesis of size- and shape-controlled freestanding Au nanohole arrays by sputter deposition using anodic porous alumina templates.

To fabricate a freestanding through-hole Au membrane using an anodic porous alumina template, Au was deposited on the outermost surface of an anodic film followed by the removal of the template. Alumina templates with different dimensions (e.g.
