The success rate of the electrosurgical high-frequency electric field welding technique lies in reasonable control of the welding time. However, the final impedance value used to control the welding time varies due to differences in tissue size and the welding method during the welding process. This study aims to introduce a new reference indicator not limited by impedance size from dynamic impedance to achieve an adequate weld strength with minimal thermal damage, providing feedback on the tissue welding effect in medical power supplies. End-to-end anastomosis experiments were conducted with porcine small intestine tissue under seven levels of compression pressure. The dynamic impedance changes were analyzed, combined with compression pressure, temperature, moisture, and collagen during welding. The welding process was divided into three stages according to the dynamic impedance, with impedance decreasing in Period Ⅰ and impedance increasing in Period Ⅲ. Period Ⅲ was the key to high-strength connections due to water evaporation and collagen reorganization. The dynamic impedance ratio is defined as the final impedance divided by the minimum impedance, and successful welding would be predicted when detecting the dynamic impedance ratio over 4 (n = 70, p < 0.001). Dynamic impedance monitoring can be used as a macroscopic real-time prediction of the anastomosis effect.

Lock-in amplifiers (LIAs) are critical tools in precision measurement, particularly for applications involving weak signals obscured by noise. Advances in signal processing algorithms and hardware synthesis have enabled accurate signal extraction, even in extremely noisy environments, making LIAs indispensable in sensor applications for healthcare, industry, and other services. For instance, the electrical impedance measurement of the human body, organs, tissues, and cells, known as bioelectrical impedance, is commonly used in biomedical and healthcare applications because it is non-invasive and relatively inexpensive.

Engineers, geomorphologists, and ecologists acknowledge the need for temporally and spatially resolved measurements of sediment clogging (also known as colmation) in permeable gravel-bed rivers due to its adverse impacts on water and habitat quality. In this paper, we present a novel method for non-destructive, real-time measurements of pore-scale sediment deposition and monitoring of clogging by using wire-mesh sensors (WMSs) embedded in spheres, forming a smart gravel bed (GravelSens). The measuring principle is based on one-by-one voltage excitation of transmitter electrodes, followed by simultaneous measurements of the resulting current by receiver electrodes at each crossing measuring pores.

The production of consumer electronics using electrically conductive materials is a dynamically developing sector of the economy. E-textiles (electronic textiles) are also used in radio frequency identification technology, mainly in the production of tag antennas. For economic reasons, it is important that the finished product is universal, although frequencies in radio systems have different values in different regions of the world.
