Article Abstract
High field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) has been used increasingly in recent years as an additional method of ion separation and selection before mass spectrometry. The FAIMS electrodes are relatively simple to design and fabricate for laboratories wishing to implement their own FAIMS designs. However, construction of the electronics apparatus needed to produce the required high magnitude asymmetric electric field oscillating at a frequency of several hundred kilohertz is not trivial. Here we present an entirely custom-built electronics setup capable of supplying the required waveforms and voltages. The apparatus is relatively simple and inexpensive to implement. We also present data acquired on this system demonstrating the use of FAIMS as a gas-phase ion filter interface to an ion trap mass spectrometer.

The temperature of the carrier gas will affect the performance of high-field asymmetric ion waveform mobility spectrometry (FAIMS), changing the height and position of the peaks of the FAIMS spectrum. In this study, we explored the influence of temperature on the FAIMS spectrum through experiment and simulation. In the experiment, the PCB self-heating temperature control FAIMS system was used to study the effects of temperature changes on the FAIMS spectra of ethanol, acetic acid, acetone, and ethyl acetate, and the coefficient solving methods of mobility and were derived in detail.

This work investigates the stability and power dynamics of a beam in a two-dimensional parity-time (PT)-symmetric cubic nonlinear sinusoidal coupled system under varying imaginary potentials. By analyzing eigenvalues, the phase angle indicating the mode synchronization, eigenfunctions, phase evolution, Poynting vector, and power exchange between coupled channels, we identify stability thresholds and characterize the soliton behavior in both PT-symmetric and broken PT-symmetric phases. Below the threshold potential, solitons remain stable, exhibiting periodic power oscillations and symmetric waveforms.

With over a century of development, electrocardiogram (ECG) diagnostics has become the preferred tool for healthcare professionals in cardiovascular disease diagnosis and monitoring. As wearable devices and mobile monitoring technologies become widespread, ECG data are trending toward diversity and long-term collection, making traditional manual annotation methods inadequate for massive data analysis demands. This research addresses core challenges in ECG signal classification-extremely imbalanced data, significant individual physiological differences, and difficulties in long sequence fitting-by proposing a Principal Component Analysis-based Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (PCA-CGAN).

Background: Split-thickness skin grafts are an effective therapy for treating large skin wounds; however, patients may experience chronic pain and dysesthesia from poor regeneration of sensory nerves into the harvest site. Endogenous and exogenous electric fields (EFs) are known to direct axon regeneration and support epithelial wound healing. This study aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of a novel therapeutic electrical stimulation protocol, asymmetric charge balanced (ACB) waveforms, to aid in peripheral nerve regeneration and wound healing.

The mechanisms underlying reduced deformability of red blood cells (RBCs) in remain unclear. The decrease in RBC deformability associated with malarial infection was measured using ektacytometry, and only mean values were evaluated. In this study, we report the development of a microfluidic sensing device that can evaluate decreased RBC deformability at the single-cell level by measuring ionic current waveforms through micropores.
