Inspired by human skin, bionic tactile sensing is effectively promoting development and innovation in many fields with its flexible and efficient perception capabilities. Optical fiber, with its ability to perceive and transmit information and its flexible characteristics, is considered a promising solution in the field of tactile bionics. In this work, one optical fiber tactile sensing system based on a flexible PDMS-embedded optical fiber ring resonator (FRR) is designed for braille recognition, and the Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) demodulation scheme is adopted to improve the detection sensitivity.

Periodic sensory inputs entrain oscillatory brain activity, reflecting a neural mechanism that might be fundamental to temporal prediction and perception. Most environmental rhythms and patterns in human behavior, such as walking, dancing, and speech do not, however, display strict isochrony but are instead quasi-periodic. Research has shown that neural tracking of speech is driven by modulations of the amplitude envelope, especially via sharp acoustic edges, which serve as prominent temporal landmarks.

Pathogen nucleic acid detection technology based on isothermal amplification and CRISPR/Cas12a system offers advantages in terms of high sensitivity, high specificity, and rapidity. However, this method has not been widely applied because of its shortcomings in utilizing conventional instruments, which cannot satisfy the requirements for Point of Care Testing (POCT), such as integration, convenience, and miniaturization. In this study, we developed an integrated lift-heater centrifugal microfluidic platform (Lift-CM) to automate the processes of isothermal amplification and CRISPR/Cas12a detection.

Purpose: To improve the current method for MRI turbulence quantification which is the intravoxel phase dispersion (IVPD) method. Turbulence is commonly characterized by the Reynolds stress tensor (RST) which describes the velocity covariance matrix. A major source for systematic errors in MRI is the sequence's sensitivity to the variance of the derivatives of velocity, such as the acceleration variance, which can lead to a substantial measurement bias.

Variable-speed electrical drive control typically relies upon a two-loop scheme, one for torque/speed and another for stator current control. In modern drive control methods, the actual mechanical speed is needed for both loops. In practical applications, the speed is often acquired by incremental rotary encoders.
