Article Abstract

A time-domain ranging algorithm is proposed for a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) short-range radar sensor with high accuracy and low complexity. The proposed algorithm estimates the distance by calculating the ratio of the beat frequency signal to its derivative and thereby eliminates the restriction of frequency bandwidth on ranging accuracy. Meanwhile, we provide error analysis of the proposed algorithm under different distances, integral lengths, relative velocities, and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Finally, we fabricate FMCW sensor prototype and construct a measurement system. Testing results demonstrate that the proposed time-domain algorithm could achieve range error within 0.8 m. Compared with the conventional fast Fourier transform (FFT) estimation scheme, the proposed method performs ranging without the requirement of complex multiplications, which makes it reasonable to be implemented in real-time and low-cost systems.

An electrostatic linear ion trap (ELIT) is used to trap ions between two ion mirrors with image current detection by central detection electrode. Transformation of the time-domain signal to the frequency-domain via Fourier transform (FT) yields an ion frequency spectrum that can be converted to a mass-to-charge scale. Injection of ions into an ELIT from an external ion source leads to a time-of-flight ion separation that ultimately determines the range of over which ions can be collected from a given ion injection step.

Aluminum (Al) is a cost-effective alternative to noble metals for plasmonics, particularly in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible regions. However, in the near-infrared (NIR) region, its performance is hindered by interband transitions (IBTs) at around 825 nm, leading to increased optical losses and broad resonances. Surface lattice resonances (SLRs) offer a promising solution by enhancing the plasmonic quality factor (-factor) through coherent coupling of localized surface plasmon (LSP) modes with Rayleigh anomalies.

Background: With the development of modern agriculture, neonicotinoid pesticides have been widely used due to their high efficiency and strong systemic properties. However, excessive use leads to the accumulation of residues in the food chain, threatening the ecosystem and human health. Pesticide residues are easily accumulated in oilseed crops and become concentrated during the edible oil refining process.

Background: The Medtronic Percept™ PC and RC are deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems with recording capability. However, when the stimulation frequency is changed, the recordings were segmented, introducing interruptions that shift each segment in the time domain.

New Method: Ex-vivo, stimulation frequency was changed while local field potential was being recorded in both leads.
