In this paper, we consider the Dirichlet and impedance boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation in a non-locally perturbed half-plane. These boundary value problems arise in a study of timeharmonic acoustic scattering of an incident eld by a sound-soft, in nite rough surface where the total eld vanishes (the Dirichlet problem) or by an in nite, impedance rough surface where the total ...

This paper presents an integrated fuzzy approach to recover the performance in impedance control, reducing the errors in position and force, considering uncertainties in the parameters of the manipulator model and contact surface model. This integrated strategy considers a fuzzy adaptive compensator in the outer control loop that adjusts the manipulator tip position to compensate for uncertaint...

The transient response of passivated metallic electrode system under potential step was analyzed based on a linear model, and a technique for calculating the parameters characterizing the growth and dissolution of passive film was proposed. It is believed that the information which is expected to be gained from the impedance measurement can be obtained by this technique and that this technique ...

Impedance biosensors are a class of electrical biosensors that show promise for point-of-care and other applications due to low cost, ease of miniaturization, and label-free operation. Unlabeled DNA and protein targets can be detected by monitoring changes in surface impedance when a target molecule binds to an immobilized probe. The affinity capture step leads to challenges shared by all label...

Apoptosis is a strictly regulated and genetically encoded cell 'suicide' that may be triggered by cytokines, depletion of growth factors or certain chemicals. It is morphologically characterized by severe alterations in cell shape like cell shrinkage and disintegration of cell-cell contacts. We applied a non-invasive electrochemical technique referred to as electric cell-substrate impedance sen...

The paper describes a fast and simple method to find the deviation of impedance of different tissues from the average values known from the literature. A technique similar to the Electrical Impedance Tomography is used assuming the geometry of organs to be known. To find the individual impedance deviations, we assume that the change of the surface potentials depends linearly on a small (up to 1...

The dynamic impedance of a sphere oscillating in an elastic medium is considered. Oestreicher's [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 23, 707-714 (1951)] formula for the impedance of a sphere bonded to the surrounding medium can be expressed in a relatively simple form in terms of three lumped impedances associated with the displaced mass and the longitudinal and transverse waves. If the surface of the sphere s...

BACKGROUND The motion artifact is an ever-present challenge in the mobile monitoring of surface potentials. Skin-electrode impedance is investigated as an input parameter to detect the motion artifact and to reduce it using various methods. However, the impact of the used impedance measurement frequency on the relationship between measured impedance and the motion artifact and the relationship ...
