Input Motion

In this study, a design of a regenerative damper for low-frequency applications, such as vibration suppression of long period infrastructures, tanks and pipings, and maritime and offshore structures, is presented. In this design, the low-frequency input motion to the damper is transformed to a high-frequency motion of piezoelectric cantilever oscillators by mechanical switching, so that the input work into the damper during the loading phase induces the free vibration of the oscillator. The mechanical energy of the free vibration is converted to the electric energy by a high efficiency interfacing circuit. In this paper, a conceptual model is mathematically formulated and tested to evaluate the potential performance of the proposed idea. It is shown that the combination of the mechanical switching with a circuit switching interface technique can expect the enhancement of the energy regeneration efficiency up to 30%.

New Perspective

The underwater acoustic siphon effect is proposed in this work, which aims to reveal the basic physical mechanism of high-efficiency sound absorption in meta-structures composed of multiple detuned units. Furthermore, the influence of the area ratio on the underwater acoustic siphon effect is then investigated by finite element simulation (FES) and theoretical calculation. On this basis, a meta-structure with the maximum absorption coefficient of almost 100% and average absorption coefficient of 80% at 600–1400 Hz is achieved. The underwater acoustic siphon effect could provide a better understanding of high-efficiency sound absorption and offer a new perspective in controlling underwater noises.

The dental status of 148 patients aged 18 to 22 years. All students who were diagnosed with generalized catarrhal gingivitis (46) were carried out removal of dental plaque with ozonation of the environment. The results of clinical studies indicate the high efficiency of the use of the removal of dental plaque using low-frequency ultrasound using an ozonized contact medium in the treatment of chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis. The treatment carried out using this method contributed to the elimination of inflammation, the normalization of blood circulation in the gums. 3 months after the treatment, the achieved effect was preserved, which was confirmed by the data of clinical and functional research methods. Despite a slight increase in inflammation in the gums and a deterioration in microcirculation indicators, even a year after treatment, the indicators characterizing the degree of inflammatory and microcirculatory disorders in the gums retained significant differences compared to the values obtained before the treatment.

Abstract We have developed a multiplex Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscope effective for low-wavenumber measurement by combining a high-repetition supercontinuum light source of 1064 nm and an infrared high-sensitivity InGaAs diode array. This system could observe the low-wavenumber region down to 55 cm-1 with high sensitivity. In addition, using spectrum shaping and spectrum modulation techniques, we simultaneously realized a wide bandwidth (<1800 cm-1), high wavenumber resolution (9 cm-1), high efficiency, and increasing signal to noise ratio by reducing the effect of the background shape in low-wavenumber region. Spatial variation of a sulfur crystal phase transition with metastable states was visualized.

The technology has grown at an ultra-fast pace along with the world. Small devices with less power and high efficiency are in demand. As the circuit size gets smaller, the power requirement increases due to a greater number of transistors. A pre-scaler is a circuit which reduces the high frequency signal to a low frequency signal by integer division. A new approach to low power pre-scaler is proposed in this paper, which is an add-on to the conventional pre-scaler circuit. A true single-phase clock (TSPC) circuit reduces the skew problems in the clock and is used to realize latches and flip-flops. The objective of low power is fulfilled by incorporating the Adaptive Voltage Level Source (AVLS) to TSPC based circuit. The proposed AVLS-TSPC based pre-scaler was analyzed for a frequency of 10 MHz with a supply voltage of 1.8 V for both divide by 2 and 3 modes. The proposed pre-scaler consumes considerably lesser power when compared to that of the existing pre-scaler circuit. The circuits are implemented in 180 nm CMOS technology using Cadence Virtuoso and simulated using Cadence Spectre.

Piezoelectric ZnO nanowires (NWs) have recently been demonstrated as a promising concept to harvest micro- and nano-scale mechanical energy from the surroundings. It is named nanogenerator. The operation principle relies on the bending of NWs by an external disturbance which creates piezoelectric potential along the deformed surfaces. The piezoelectric potential was predicted to be hundreds of milivolts per NW and the optimal power output per NW could reach a few nanowatts when it is under resonant oscillation. The first nanogenerator prototype was fabricated with vertically aligned ZnO NW arrays that were placed beneath a zigzag-shaped metal electrode with a small gap. In this design, all the NWs can be actuated simultaneously and continuously by ultrasonic waves, leading to the production of a continuous DC current. A textile fiber based nanogenerator has been developed for harvesting low-frequency vibration/friction energies. A piezoelectric thin film based nanogenerator was demonstrated to convert low-speed wind energy into electricity through the stimulated oscillation. These devices have the potential to fundamentally improve the mechanical energy harvesting capability with advanced nanostructure building blocks and compact designs, which might eventually lead to an effective power source for self-powered electronic systems with higher energy density, higher efficiency, longer life time, as well as lower cost.
