There is an increasing demand on computerized surgical instrumentation and implants that can acquire intra-operative or in-vivo data for surgeons and engineers. The sensory system is gaining complexity in order to obtain more accurate measurements. Although many off-the-shelf components and chips exist, multiple components are often required to achieve the desired function. Since space is limited in biomedical applications, application specific highly compacted integrated circuits are preferable. In this study, a chip is designed to process an array of microcantilever readout used in an intra-operative soft-tissue balancing instrument.

Objective: In recent years, wearable devices such as smartwatches and smart patches have revolutionized biosignal acquisition and analysis, particularly for monitoring electrocardiography (ECG). However, the limited power supply of these devices often precludes real-time data analysis on the patch itself.
Approach: This paper introduces a novel Python package, tinyHLS (High Level Synthesis), designed
to address these challenges by converting Python-based AI models into platform-independent hardware description language (HDL) code accelerators.

Motor imagery (MI) is an important brain-computer interface (BCI) paradigm. The traditional MI paradigm (imagining different limbs) limits the intuitive control of the outer devices, while fine MI paradigm (imagining different joint movements from the same limb) can control the mechanical arm without cognitive disconnection. However, the decoding performance of fine MI limits its application.

In terahertz communication systems, lens antennas used in transceivers are basically plano-convex dielectric lenses. The size of a plano-convex lens increases as the aperture increases, and thinner lenses have longer focal lengths. Through theory and simulation, we designed a Fresnel lens suitable for the terahertz band to meet the requirements of large aperture and short focal length, and simulated the performance, advantages, and disadvantages of the terahertz Fresnel lens.
