This paper presents a passive Envelope Detector (ED) to be used for reception of OOK-modulated signals, such as in Wake-Up Receivers employed within Wireless Sensor Networks, widely used in the IoT. The main goal is implementing a temperature compensation mechanism in order to keep the passive ED input resistance roughly constant over temperature, making it a constant load for the preceding matching network and ultimately keeping the overall receiving chain sensitivity constant over temperature. The proposed ED was designed using STMicroelectronics 90 nm CMOS technology to receive 1 kbps OOK-modulated packets with a 433 MHz carrier frequency and a 0.6 V supply. The use of a block featuring a Proportional-to-Absolute Temperature (PTAT) current yields a 5 dB reduction in sensitivity temperature variation across the -40 °C to 120 °C range. Moreover, two different implementations were compared, one targeting minimal mismatch and the other one targeting minimal area. The minimal area version appears to be better in terms of estimated overall chain sensitivity at all temperatures despite a higher sensitivity spread.

Article Synopsis
- The rise of modern telecommunication technologies, like 5G and the Internet-of-Things (IoT), has significantly increased data generation and the demand for advanced data processing capabilities.
- Researchers introduced a microwave photonic (MWP) processing unit that uses elemental antimony to create a compact all-optical RF filter designed to operate as a low-pass filter with a bandwidth of 300 kHz.
- The study demonstrates the filter's use as an envelope detector for demodulating signals and discusses potential methods for achieving tunable bandwidth.
Evaluation of residual carious dentin detection methods after cavity preparation: a randomized clinical trial.

Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the challenge of effectively removing caries from dentine without damaging too much healthy tissue, as there is no current diagnostic tool to determine the limit for caries removal.
- Researchers conducted a randomized trial with 90 patients at a dental clinic in northeastern Nigeria, testing three diagnostic methods to find residual caries after cavity preparation: visual-tactile, caries detector dye (CDD), and laser fluorescence (LF).
- The effectiveness of these methods was assessed by an independent investigator through the examination of residual caries and bacterial culture samples collected from the prepared cavities.
This paper discusses the generation of a novel periodic nonlinear error in homodyne interferometers due to geometric misalignments. These misalignments arise from cumulative assembly errors among the sensor head interior, target mirror, test platform, and detector, leading to dynamic misplacement of the measurement beam on the detector's surface. A physical model was developed to explain this error, focusing on the interference field produced by Gaussian beams under conditions of beam separation and inclined interference.

X-ray grating interferometry allows for the simultaneous acquisition of attenuation, differential-phase contrast, and dark-field images, resulting from X-ray attenuation, refraction, and small-angle scattering, respectively. The modulated phase grating (MPG) interferometer is a recently developed grating interferometry system capable of generating a directly resolvable interference pattern using a relatively large period grating envelope function that is sampled at a pitch that is small enough that X-ray spatial coherence can be achieved by using a microfocus X-ray source or G0 grating. We present the theory of the MPG interferometry system for a 2-dimensional staggered grating, derived using Fourier optics, and we compare the theoretical predictions with experiments we have performed with a microfocus X-ray system at Pennington Biomedical Research Center, LSU.
