Studies of an Adaptive Kaczmarz Method for Electrical Impedance Imaging

An Adaptive Impedance Controller for Robot Manipulators

A desired dynamic behavior of constrained manipulators can be achieved by means of impedance control and various implementations of fixed controllers have been proposed. In this paper, and adaptive implementation is presented as an alternative to reduce the design sensitivity due to manipulator mismatch. The adaptive controller globally achieves the impedance objective for the nonlinear dynamic...

Optimal imaging with adaptive mesh refinement in electrical impedance tomography.

In non-linear electrical impedance tomography the goodness of fit of the trial images is assessed by the well-established statistical chi2 criterion applied to the measured and predicted datasets. Further selection from the range of images that fit the data is effected by imposing an explicit constraint on the form of the image, such as the minimization of the image gradients. In particular, th...

Evaluation of the use of gold nanoparticle as contrast agent in electrical impedance imaging

Introduction: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a real time and minimal invasive imaging modality for detection of lesions in tissues even when their structures show no changes. Early detection of lesion with EIT depends on difference between electrical impedance of targeted tissue and its surroundings. Therefore, finding a contrast agent for EIT that increase this diffe...

Structural, Electrical, and impedance spectroscopy studies of Barium substituted nano calcium ferrites synthesized by solution combustion method.

Barium substituted nanocrystalline ferrites with chemical composition BaxCa1-xFe2O4 (x =0.0 to 0.25) BCAF were prepared by solution combustion method. The phase formation of mixed spinal structured ferrites was confirmed by PXRD analysis. The average crystallite size was calculated using Debye-Scherrer formula and it was found to be in the range of 27-44 nm. Surface morphology was analyzed by S...
