Wearable devices are drastically transforming the healthcare industry by enabling continuous, real-time monitoring of physiological and biochemical properties outside clinical settings. One particularly important application is the monitoring of stress; a significant factor linked to ... En savoir plus

Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) enables highly sensitive gas detection without optical detectors by directly measuring the sound generated from light absorption. However, the performance of PAS systems strongly depends on the photoacoustic cell’s acoustic design. In this work, we ... En savoir plus

Pyrometallurgical furnaces are used to produce metals such as copper, nickel and platinum by the smelting process. During smelting, the undesired material components are separated from the desired metal resulting in the formation of a slag and matte/metal phase. The slag phase ... En savoir plus

Crack detection is and has been an active field of exploration, both theoretical and applied for a number of years. It is the belief of this author that the concepts presented herein explore a new methodology for the modeling and the detection of cracks and families of cracks in ... En savoir plus

A new filter-less method of detecting the spectrum based on wavelength absorption in silicon is proposed. Wavelength dependent absorption coefficient produces a unique excess carrier distribution. Thus the wavelength spectral information can be obtained by measuring the photon generated ... En savoir plus

Increased traffic and load on railway infrastructure require regular inspection of track components. Railway track elements such as fasteners, insulation joints, and weld joints are subjected to extreme loading conditions, making their regular inspection essential for ensuring the safety ...

High temperature superconductors (HTS) such as YBCO coated conductors show great promise for future applications where high magnetic fields are needed. The superconducting state only exists under a critical surface defined in the (J,T,B) space. Quench is the process by which a current ... En savoir plus

The detection, characterization, and classification of underground environmental hazardous objects [mines, IEDs, and other unexploded military hardware] is a worldwide problem that needs urgent attention and solution. While electromagnetic sensor technologies have been applied to ... En savoir plus
