We have developed a new algorithm, RBF-MREIT, for Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) by applying the radial basis function (RBF) network and Simplex method. RBF-MREIT uses only one component of the measured magnetic flux density to reconstruct the conductivity images, and provides a solution to the rotation problem in MREIT. The proposed algorithm is tested on a three-sp...

2 Introduction We use throughout the e+iωt convention. Acoustic liners are usually described in frequency domain by their impedance. If we use a numerical method in time domain, this is to be translated into an equivalent relation. This is not straightforward. For example, it is principally not possible for an non-real impedance to retain this value for all frequencies. We have to extend the im...

Wireless power transfer (WPT) has attracted an ever increasing interest from both industry and academics over the past few years. Its applications vary from small power devices such as mobile phones and tablets to high power electric vehicles, and from small transfer distance of centimeters to large distance of tens of centimeters. In order to achieve a high efficiency WPT system, each circuit ...

Impedance control is a compliance control strategy capable of accommodating both unconstrained and constrained motions. The performance of impedance controllers depends heavily upon environment dynamics and the choice of target impedance. To maintain performance for a wide range of environments, target impedance needs to be adjusted adaptively. In this paper, a geometric view on impedance contr...

It is essential to continuously and non-invasively monitor the cardiac pumping function in clinical setting. Thus, the study aimed to explore a regional impedance phethysmographic method to assess the changes in stroke volume. To do this, we developed a plethysmographic device that was capable of delivering a single-frequency current with constant amplitude and of recording electrical impedance...

The isolated, ventilated and instrumented mouse lung preparation allows steady and pulsatile pulmonary vascular pressure-flow relationships to be measured with independent control over pulmonary arterial flow rate, flow rate waveform, airway pressure and left atrial pressure. Pulmonary vascular resistance is calculated based on multi-point, steady pressure-flow curves; pulmonary vascular impeda...

Measurements of the dielectric (or impedance) properties of cells can be used as a general characterization and diagnostic tool. In this paper, we describe a novel impedance spectroscopy technique for the analysis of single biological cells in suspension. The technique uses maximum length sequences (MLS) for periodic excitation signal in a microfluidic impedance cytometer. The method allows mul...

The purpose of this note is to develop facts about positive real transfer functions for discretetime linear systems, i.e., in the z plane. Positive real functions arise naturally as the impedance functions of passive continuous-time systems.

This paper is devoted to yet unpublished electrode-less methods (ELM) of cell layers impedance measurement based on transformer principle. The main advantage of ELM is elimination uncertainties caused by interface between electrodes and measured electrolyte. The method of avoiding distortion caused by non-ideal transformer transfer function ("deconvolution") and errors caused by residual voltag...

The task of the image reconstruction in Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is highly ill-posed inverse problem. The level set method with the gradient technique is established model for our numerical problem. Interfaces between subdomains with constant conductivities are represented by the level set function. Moreover, only one function is needed to represent any numbers of phases. The itera...
