Vertical resolution is an essential indicator of digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) and the key to improving resolution is to increase digitalizing bits and lower noise. Averaging is a typical method to improve signal to noise ratio (SNR) and the effective number of bits (ENOB). The existing averaging algorithm is apt to be restricted by the repetitiveness of signal and be influenced by gross error in quantization, and therefore its effect on restricting noise and improving resolution is limited. An information entropy-based data fusion and average-based decimation filtering algorithm, proceeding from improving average algorithm and in combination with relevant theories of information entropy, are proposed in this paper to improve the resolution of oscilloscope. For single acquiring signal, resolution is improved through eliminating gross error in quantization by utilizing the maximum entropy of sample data with further noise filtering via average-based decimation after data fusion of efficient sample data under the premise of oversampling. No subjective assumptions and constraints are added to the signal under test in the whole process without any impact on the analog bandwidth of oscilloscope under actual sampling rate.


Skin is the one of the most important organ present in our body that does some of the important functions like protection, temperature regulation etc. Due to some conditions, skin is affected by many abnormalities. The abnormalities may be smaller or larger, which depends on the damage caused to the skin. Some abnormalities of skin are irritations, allergic reactions, swelling etc. One of the most major problems that affect the skin completely is of skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer that affects the 40% of people in all over world. It may be caused due to several factors like genetic, working in hazardous chemical areas, exposure to sun, repeated X-ray exposures etc. All of these factors affects the skin and causes skin cancer. Skin biopsy is a major technique used at present to detect all types of skin cancers. As this biopsy method is invasive, and takes more time to check the cancer tissue, we are using this optical method for detection of skin cancer. Optical imaging is the upcoming technology that plays the major role in all fields. In this method Near Infra-Red (NIR) light source is passed into the affected skin region. The transimpedance amplifier is used to amplify the output from photodiodes. Then the output from the photodiodes is connected to the Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO) in which the waveform shows the variations due to skin cancer.

This paper details a work carried out to measure gas hold-up profiles in a liquid column using a pair of ultrasonic transducer. The gas hold-up profiles from 1.85 mm to 7.7 mm diameter are of interest in this investigation. The measurement setup consist of ultrasonic transducer, an experimental column, signal conditioning circuit, and a digital storage oscilloscope. The experiment was conducted using several gas hold-up profiles and the relationship between the ultrasonic amplitude and the profile were deduced. A finite element analysis was carried out to further verify the results. This paper explains how one could use ultrasonic transducer to estimate the gas hold-up profiles in a liquid column.
