Abstract It can be ensured safe and reliable operation of a metallic structure by monitoring the positions which are easy to crack. Because the channel changes with the environment, a tag sensor in the ultra high frequency (UHF) is vulnerable to interference. This paper aims to investigate the reliability of passive RFID sensor systems with a reference tag for crack detection of aluminum alloy structures when the condition of reading distance and surrounding environment changes. The impedance and gain of tags are simulated, which provides theoretical basis for experimental analysis. With an increase of crack depth, the impedance of the sensor tag shifts to the low frequency direction, and the reference tag changes slightly. When dual tags are placed orthogonally, the gain of the sensor tag changes greatly, which means that it is more sensitive to crack depth. The backscatter power of the sensor tag shows a decline trend, and the power of the reference tag remains unchanged. The sensor features a linear response with the variation of crack depth. The sensitivity of crack characterization is better when dual tags are placed orthogonally.

SummaryNerve stimulation via micro-electrode implants is one of the neurostimulation approaches which is used frequently in the medical treatment of some brain disorders, neural prosthetics, brain-machine interfaces and also in the cyborg. In this method, the electrical stimulation signal can be categorized by the frequency band: low frequency, high frequency, and ultra-high frequency. The stimulation should be less destructive, more smooth, and controllable. In this article, we present a brief description of the mechanism underlying the ultra-high frequency stimulation. In the flowing, from an informatics perspective, we propose a state-of-the-art, low destructive, and highly efficient stimulation method at the low amplitude ultra-high frequency signal. In this method, we have tried to reduce the adaptation of the nerve system by modulating the stimulation signal via a low frequency rectangular random wave. By this method, we could reach the “almost zero discharge” with minimum destructive effect in the experimental test on the fish nervous system.

By using datas of Chinese fuel oil futures market, this pater establishes VAR model based on low frequency, high frequency and ultra-high frequency data, to measure the value at risk, and compares the prediction accuracy of different frequency. The research results show that the high frequency and ultra-high frequency data have better accuracy in the VAR measuring, as they contain more intraday information and can reflect the futures market microstructure better.

It is well known that the structure information on the specimen is not always faithfully transferred through the electron microscope. Firstly, the spatial frequency spectrum is modulated by the transfer function (TF) at the focal plane. Secondly, the spectrum suffers high frequency cut-off by the aperture (or effectively damping terms such as chromatic aberration). While these do not have essential effect on imaging crystal periodicity as long as the low order Bragg spots are inside the aperture, although the contrast may be reversed, they may change the appearance of images of amorphous materials completely. Because the spectrum of amorphous materials is continuous, modulation of it emphasizes some components while weakening others. Especially the cut-off of high frequency components, which contribute to amorphous image just as strongly as low frequency components can have a fundamental effect. This can be illustrated through computer simulation. Imaging of a whitenoise object with an electron microscope without TF limitation gives Fig. 1a, which is obtained by Fourier transformation of a constant amplitude combined with random phases generated by computer.

Fully automated or semi-automated scanning electron microscopes (SEM) are now commonly used in semiconductor production and other forms of manufacturing. The industry requires that an automated instrument must be routinely capable of 5 nm resolution (or better) at 1.0 kV accelerating voltage for the measurement of nominal 0.25-0.35 micrometer semiconductor critical dimensions. Testing and proving that the instrument is performing at this level on a day-by-day basis is an industry need and concern which has been the object of a study at NIST and the fundamentals and results are discussed in this paper.In scanning electron microscopy, two of the most important instrument parameters are the size and shape of the primary electron beam and any image taken in a scanning electron microscope is the result of the sample and electron probe interaction. The low frequency changes in the video signal, collected from the sample, contains information about the larger features and the high frequency changes carry information of finer details. The sharper the image, the larger the number of high frequency components making up that image. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis of an SEM image can be employed to provide qualitiative and ultimately quantitative information regarding the SEM image quality.

Differences in real ear sound pressure levels (SPLs) with three portable stereo system (PSS) earphones (supraaural [Sony Model MDR-44], semiaural [Sony Model MDR-A15L], and insert [Sony Model MDR-E225]) were investigated. Twelve adult men served as subjects. Frequency response, high frequency average (HFA) output, peak output, peak output frequency, and overall RMS output for each PSS earphone were obtained with a probe tube microphone system (Fonix 6500 Hearing Aid Test System). Results indicated a significant difference in mean RMS outputs with nonsignificant differences in mean HFA outputs, peak outputs, and peak output frequencies among PSS earphones. Differences in mean overall RMS outputs were attributed to differences in low-frequency effects that were observed among the frequency responses of the three PSS earphones. It is suggested that one cannot assume equivalent real ear SPLs, with equivalent inputs, among different styles of PSS earphones.

Two types of special hearing aid have been developed recently to improve the reception of speech by profoundly deaf children. In a different way, each special system provides greater low-frequency acoustic stimulation to deaf ears than does a conventional hearing aid. One of the devices extends the low-frequency limit of amplification; the other shifts high-frequency energy to a lower frequency range. In general, previous evaluations of these special hearing aids have obtained inconsistent or inconclusive results. This paper reviews most of the published research on the use of special hearing aids by deaf children, summarizes several unpublished studies, and suggests a set of guidelines for future evaluations of special and conventional amplification systems.
