Highly stretchable and electrically conductive thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanofibrous composite based on electrospinning for flexible strain sensor and stretchable conductor has been fabricated via in situ polymerization of polyaniline (PANI) on TPU nanofibrous membrane. The PANI/TPU membrane-based sensor could detect a strain from 0 to 160% with fast response and excellent stability. Mea...

A single charge screening model of surface charge sensors in liquids (De Vico et al., Nanoscale, 2011, 3, 706-717) is extended to multiple charges to model the effect of the charge distributions of analyte proteins on FET sensor response. With this model we show that counter-intuitive signal changes (e.g. a positive signal change due to a net positive protein binding to a p-type conductor) can ...

− A Rogowski coil is well-known current-to-voltage transducer, and in order to use it for the high-accuracy measurement of AC current (at power supply frequency) all influencing quantities and their contribution should be recognized and analyzed. Therefore, in this paper the analysis of the partial influence due to the position of the primary conductor relatively to the secondary coil, with the...

Introduction: Delivering maximum dose to tumor and minimum dose to normal tissues is the most important goal in radiotherapy. According to ICRU, the maximum acceptable uncertainty in the delivered dose compared to the prescribed dose should be lower than 5%, and this is because of the relationship between absorbed dose, tumor control and normal tissue damage. Absorbed dose accuracy is investiga...

Abstract Silicon tracking detectors have grown to cover larger surface areas up hundreds of square meters, and are even taking over other sub-detectors, such as calorimeters. However, further improvements in detector performance more likely arise from the ability make a low mass comprised high ratio active sensor inactive materials, where dead materials include electrical services, cooling, mec...

This paper presents a new approach for realizing a smart, fault tolerant, controllable and asset efficient power grid through the use of massively-dispersed mass-manufactured communicationsenabled sensor, power-converter and actuator networks. One example is ‘Smart Wires’, implemented using many modules of a Distributed Static Series Compensator (DSSC) device that can be clamped on to existing ...

SnO2 is widely used as a transparent conductor and sensor material. Better understanding and control of its conductivity would enhance its performance in existing applications and enable new ones, such as in light emitters. Using density functional theory, we show that the conventional attribution of n-type conductivity to intrinsic point defects is incorrect. Unintentional incorporation of hyd...

In this paper a polarimetric fibre-optics current sensor in a new highly versatile all-fibre configuration is described. The optical configuration is particularly simple and is based on a back-and-forth propagation through a twisted sensing fibre. This results in a very flexible sensing cable which can be adapted to a great number of existing power installations, by simply winding the fibre aro...

Abstract Silicon is the most common material used in semi-conductor. It can be to make single crystal silicon wafer. Though it has widest usage, high calorific value. Also, performance loss compared carbide and operating temperature relatively low gallium oxide. Luckily, there are several materials that could possibly replace silicon. The first one 2D semiconductor. prospective evaluation of se...
