Article Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems, making accurate state transition monitoring a key research topic. This paper presents a characterization method for large-format LIBs based on phased-array ultrasonic technology (PAUT). A finite element model of a large-format aluminum shell lithium-ion battery is developed on the basis of ultrasonic wave propagation in multilayer porous media. Simulations and comparative analyses of phased array ultrasonic imaging are conducted for various operating conditions and abnormal gas generation. A 40 Ah ternary lithium battery (NCMB) is tested at a 0.5C charge-discharge rate, with the state of charge (SOC) and ultrasonic data extracted. The relationship between ultrasonic signals and phased array images is established through simulation and experimental comparisons. To estimate the SOC, a fully connected neural network (FCNN) model is designed and trained, achieving an error of less than 4%. Additionally, phased array imaging, which is conducted every 5 s during overcharging and overdischarging, reveals that gas bubbles form at 0.9 V and increase significantly at 0.2 V. This research provides a new method for battery state characterization.

Objective: To develop a deep learning method for fast and accurate prediction of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) distributions in the human head to support real-time hyperthermia treatment planning (HTP) of brain cancer patients.

Approach: We propose an encoder-decoder neural network with cross-attention blocks to predict SAR maps from brain electrical properties, tumor 3D isocenter coordinates and microwave antenna phase settings. A dataset of 201 simulations was generated using finite-element modeling by varying tissue properties, tumor positions, and antenna phases within a human head model equipped with a three-ring phased-array applicator.

In order to solve the real-time positioning problem of flexible wearable ultrasonic transducer array unit under dynamic conditions, a new transducer array based on button flexible structure is designed. The design of push-button flexible hinge provides three-dimensional adaptive flexible deformation, and the dual ultrasonic array structure combining rigidity and flexibility provides real-time ultrasonic positioning means for flexible transducer array elements, thus realizing two-dimensional area array ultrasonic phased imaging in dynamic wearable scene. This design provides a new idea for the development of flexible wearable ultrasonic equipment.

Phased arrays are crucial in various technologies, such as radar and wireless communications, due to their ability to precisely control and steer electromagnetic waves. This precise control improves signal processing and enhances imaging performance. However, extending phased arrays to the terahertz (THz) frequency range has proven challenging, especially for high-frequency operation, broadband performance, two-dimensional (2D) phase control with large antenna arrays, and flexible phase modulation.

This paper presents a method for generating dynamic caustic patterns by utilising dual-optimised holographic fields with Phased Array Transducer (PAT). Building on previous research in static caustic optimisation and ultrasonic manipulation, this approach employs computational techniques to dynamically shape fluid surfaces, thereby creating controllable and real-time caustic images. The system employs a Digital Twin framework, which enables iterative feedback and refinement, thereby improving the accuracy and quality of the caustic patterns produced.
